“How did you show up on your path to earning a third degree in Gardnerian Wicca?” Cythia, someone in my circle, asked.

I replied, talking about how I traveled 60 miles round trip, over and over again, to learn from my spiritual elders. I could see in my elders’ faces. They were proud of me for showing up.

When I felt the intuitive call to start my blog in 2012, I was inspired to show up every week.

My own spiritual practice deepened because I had to be fully present and alert to facets of my spiritual path.

When I first learned about the Tarot from my spiritual elders, I was intimidated.
I have dyslexia. Reading a bunch of material was daunting to me.

But I kept showing up to learn more and more. I read books. I did research.

I also learned that reading a Tarot spread can be a “process of the heart.”

It’s not only about memorizing textbook definitions of each card.

Let’s pause a moment.

In your spiritual practice, what do you need to show up for?

Is there some area of your spiritual practice that you want to devote yourself to learning?

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,

PinecrestTrail

Keep The Connection

My muscles ache and I’m wobbly on my feet. My Dad and I walk on a wooded trail in Pinecrest, California. My only thought is: Can I make it to the car?

On the drive back to our campsite, I think, I really need to go hiking more often. My muscles are just not in the condition I’d like them to be in.

Without enough hiking I lose valuable muscle mass and tone. And, without enough vigorous exercise, I’ll lose bone mass or even get a “flabby” heart, a cause of other health problems.

How does this connect with Wicca? We see something similar: without enough practice, you can lose your competency in the Wiccan path. Just as muscles become weaker due to lack of use, so does your proficiency in Wicca.

Out of practice in Wicca, your spells will not be as effective. They can even go bad because you’re failing to channel your energy to your desired goal. Such errors can cause undesired effects.

Fail to practice your faith and you may separate from nature which Wiccans hold so sacred. If you don’t pay attention to the cycles of nature (the cycles of life and the seasons), you may lose compassion for others who are going through personal cycles of growth and sometimes personal pain. Human beings live in a cycle of puberty, aging and other personal challenges.

Separating from nature, you may even lose compassion for yourself.

On the other hand, you can be diligent in your practice. You can exercise your Wiccan muscle just as you would support your body through physical exercise.

When your “Wiccan muscles” are in tune, you’ll take good care of yourself and stay aware of the Three Times Law.

Be good to your spirit like you’re good to your body through exercise.

Keep a diligent practice. Then you can avoid many situations of unintentionally hurting someone else. Through diligent practice, you are stronger and calmer. You have more patience.

So let’s flex all of our muscles to be both spiritually and physically healthy.

Blessings,
