The Importance of Meditation

You may be amazed to discover this simple fact- witches have been performing what today we call "meditation" for many hundreds of years. Of course, it wasn't called "meditation" in old Britain, and witches didn't sit on the floor with their legs crossed in the lotus position. Nevertheless, meditation was done, and done daily, usually seated in a chair and in the most expert manner. But why, you ask?

A Simple Fact

If you wish to learn magic, then meditation is the most IMPORTANT single skill you must learn. You need not be psychic to be a witch, but you must know how to "Go Within," to meditate. Meditation is a very powerful tool.

Meditation trains the mind to concentrate, to "focus the mind," and leads to effective visualization. Together this becomes a potent tool for heighten awareness and self control. Visualization brings a dynamic into meditation that energizes, brings clarity, and raises power- which is the hallmark of the adapt witch.

Through starting to meditation you will begin to gain control of your own energy and begin your vibrant transformation in achieving a heightened awareness and control of yourself and your surroundings. This awareness will bring about a connection with the magical energies you were born with. It will heighten your psychic awareness and help in the divinations you will be doing.

The ability to harness power will bring about changes in your life, it will bring a transformation that is vital for the modern Seeker. Learning to meditate very well is the key to becoming a witch.

I suggest you form the habit of doing a Daily Meditation Ritual at least once a day. More often if you wish.

Yes, I know it can be difficult to get into a new habit. Yes, it is a big step. Success depends on your desire to be a witch, a desire for change. This simple meditation is the beginning of transformation. It is the first step.

Besides, meditation is calming and relaxing. You will come to enjoy it very much.

Also, some Traditional Witches are shamanistic in practice. Although it requires considerable meditative dedication, shamanism is characterized by achieving a state of ecstasy, of being coexistent with the Cunning Fire. However, this is a higher level that most do not aspire.

Meditation is a vegicle of change, of self-improvement, of unlocking the mysteries of witchcraft that come with this mastery of the mind. It is a fundamental ability of any witch, any practitioner of the old Magical Arts of the British Isles.
