People live and breathe only through screens and social media: empty looks on the streets, all focused on their smartphones venting their spleen. A stormy sea, beneath the glassy surface of their face.
Technology gave us all possible means to widen our horizons, but it also drained us of our human side. We are no longer able to relate to others in a healthy way, we are constantly floodlit in front of a virtual audience. A kind of audience which is not forgiving if you're at fault, a kind of audience that lynches the human psyche behind a keyboard whilst eating junk food with the family - between one selfie and the next.
You eat meat? MURDERER. Do you eat quinoa, to save the lives of unfairly tortured creatures? IRRESPONSIBLE! Didn't you know that poor children are getting sick in South America, thanks to you?
Are you a woman and you want to be childfree? YOU ARE NOT FULFILLING YOUR DUTY AS A MOTHER. Are you a mother in 2017? Don't you dare to bring your children in public! Will you send them to school with the IMMIGRANTS? Will you teach them the GENDER theory?
We are constantly trapped in an endless Schrödinger's paradox, each word we say is a potential H bomb of wickedness,repression and ignorance. The truth is that the human being is not capable of respecting the natural balance. Not even his own one.
This virtual lynching can also be applied to the pagan world, a world that should be tuned with this natural balance. Unfortunately this is not the case, a sad truth in an ancient world that should resonate with Gaia. A world often discovered with unholy practices, forbidden by the abrahamitic religions.
When we recognise ourselves as pagans, we are happy to connect with our "own kind" on the web: the enthusiasm, the genuine will to confront ideas with people on the same wavelength.
The enthusiasm is soon extinguished by dogmas, arrogance and prejudice. Everything we rejected as pagans.
You're not following a tradition? You're a loser, you can't call yourself a pagan. You're Wiccan? You're a hippy neophyte. You follow an ancient tradition, without practicing it to the letter? You don't deserve to practice it. You ask basic questions? You get mocked for your inexperience.
Soon you realise the amount of redundant modern gurus around, their mouths filled with buzzwords. Words of wisdom from ancient and expensive books. Often empty words.
Saying words with no meaning is not communicatig. It is simply giving a shape to an empty shell.
Studying is essential to our path but it is not what makes us Witches.
What is a Witch?
The Witch is a creature floating between worlds, the bridge between the Seen and the Unseen. Her Ancient Soul is tuned with the energies of the universe, on the same wave with the Microcosm and the Macrocosm. The Witch is the axis between the Sky and the Earth.
Does the Witch really need approval from Facebook groups,whilst she dances naked under the Moon and whispers to the Shadows?
Don't get fooled, you don't need anybody's approval. Don't deny your true nature. The Modern age has made us vulnerable to other's opinions. But you are not modern, you are the Ones who talk to the Elements.
Our ancestors, which we consider as the Chosen Ones, experimented on their own skin in order to tell their story to their descendants. There are no middlemen between Us and the Gods.
Don't corrupt your Instinct with other people's opinion, fly in the Ecstasy.
The Witch is, the Witch doesn't do.
