BabyCakes Posted December 10, 2004 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I was sent this by a friend and thought it held quite an insightful message. As I sifted through a few of the recent witchcraft topics here, I thought I'd share this with you too: So, You Wanna Be A Witch, Eh? by Paniteowl/J.Sutton Well, sit right here, by my side, And I'll tell you the secrets of the tide. And just get comfy, honey child, While I speak of nature, free and wild. But you don't have a cloak or pointy hat? Hah! and Piffle! What's with that? The witch is worn within the soul, Not donned for occasion, or kept in a bowl. When you think of witches, you tremble at magick? Oh, silly girl, that indeed is tragic! Well, take a deep breathe, and hold tight to my hand, And together we'll dream to the edge of the land. Where forest and sky kiss the rim of the waters, Where spirits as we claim a kinship with daughters Of elements born before words are remembered, And feeling, and thoughts are no longer hindered. Tis the everyday things, that witches are 'ware of. The sun and the moon, and the wee tiny cherub, Who tugs at our heart strings and drives us to madness, Yet gives us such joy, and fills us with gladness. A soft gentle rain, nudging buds to full flower, Hurricane! Twister!...Such terrible power! Candles and hearth fires, warming and scented. Forests ablaze!... Volcanic stacks vented! A mantle of snow both preserves and gives pleasure. Avalanche! Iceberg!!... So full of treasure. The warmth of the sun bringing life we so cherish. Bleak desert landscape. Burnt tundra...we perish. Now open your eyes, and closely at me. You came here so fearful...now what do you see? A kindly old woman? An evil old hag? A cloak of maturity? A dirty old rag? Both sides of the coin...Light and Dark we encompass. Good and evil abide, and still walk among us. So be very sure, that a Witch you will be, For we own it ALL... You and me... you and me.

pagan_jedi_girl Posted December 10, 2004 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I am a witch, so this really strikes a chord with me. It is very true, and very nicely written. Was it written by her??? Love and light. PJG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whom_God_Loves Posted December 10, 2004 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Sounds like a poem, don't know what to think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan_jedi_girl Posted December 10, 2004 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Yes it is a poem, but it does state truth. Just a flowery explanation on the craft/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyCakes Posted December 10, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Yes it is a poem, but it does state truth. Just a flowery explanation on the craft/ 396508[/snapback] Truth on beliefs are always subjective according to one's own perceptions and values. I found it to touch many chords within myself that I hold as "true". I cannot comment on whether anyone else would think the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan_jedi_girl Posted December 10, 2004 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Well it does hold true with me too. And it is very general, so I thinks pretty much all Witches-or wotever they wish to call themselves-would agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagleclan Posted December 11, 2004 #10 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Nice poem, but it doesn't tell me what a witch is or so I thought by its title it was going to tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Greenman Posted December 11, 2004 #11 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Nice poem, but it doesn't tell me what a witch is or so I thought by its title it was going to tell me. 397855[/snapback] Actually it does. We a nature religion. That includes the Forest, the Earth, the Sky, the Universe. It is all a part of us and we are a part of it. You don't have to cast spells or dress strange. That is not what it is about. It is more oneness with all things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
