Wicca Teachings: Magick From Darkness To Light

Ever since I launched Magick - India's first Magickal and Wiccan store in the heart of Mumbai (Bandra West), I have seen many reactions from all kinds of people. Followers have lined up for remedies, help and solutions. Students have enrolled for a multitude of courses in spells, healing, divination and tarot. Dedicated disciples have recieved initiation into the Global Wicca Tradition. Skeptics and non-believers have started beleiving. Critics have turned to fans.

There has been an absolute change in the spiritual and metaphysical scenario of the city. More people are rising in consciousness and awakening to their true inner power - the power to heal, help, the power to liberate from suffering, both themselves and others around them.

Several healers are proudly calling themselves 'witches' and 'Wiccans'. Some are even following in my footsteps.

At the same time, we must not forget that the world was so far in darkness of 'tamas' (kalayuga) and is waking up like a little baby. A newly awakened being is still confused and dazzled by the light. One main feature of kalayuga is the presence of dark and manipulative people who are low in morals and ethics. Even in the world of 'spiritual healing' you will see some of those around.

It is necessary to also check the credentials of the healer properly. They should be well acclaimed and knowledgeable. If they claim they are Wiccan, please ask for certifications - check which Tradition they are initiates of, or are they just a follower of a tradition, without having undertaken trainingalso if they are trained initiates check if their Clergy status is still valid - or were they cast out of the tradition. Remember Wicca is a Tradition based system. Check what sort of a Tradition the person is representingare they truly doing good work. Just because someone says they are Wiccan - doesn't mean they really are experts in Wicca. They may have just read a book or a website. They may be still learning. They may have taken initiation from a very vague source. Or they may not even know the true meaning of Wicca. There are ample cases of some teens coming together and practicing some dark arts and going around claiming to be 'Wiccan' whereas they do not even follow the Wiccan Rede of Harming None. There is a very well known 'Wiccan' author who claims she can bring you any man or woman of your choice - a totally non-Wiccan thing to do as it comes under the category of dark arts (Wiccans never do spells to attract specific person). Media and public were so far ignorant about whom to follow and whom to not.

The good news is that all this is changing - people are being more careful about what type of spiritual healers they associate with. They no longer follow fake babas or negative black magicians or bad witches.

I have found that people are careful about quality and 'energy' these days. They will seek the best and know how to follow their intuition to choose what is right for them.

That is why there is Magick at 16th road Bandra West, near Mini Punjab restaurant. Tel 022 65250328 timing 1130am to 830pm. In this little store you will find all you need to have a better life - in the form of stones and crystals, amulets and candles, spellkits, incenses and herbs. You can even get your cards read by experts who are fully trained and qualified by Tarot India Network, and get a spell cast for you by those who have been properly trained in the Global Wicca Tradition - so you know that you are in safe hands.

Enjoy!
