Traditional Witchcraft

Traditional Witchcraft
The Gods And Spirits

Beginner Witch Craft seekers should be aware that British Witchcraft is much more than mere magic. For magic is an expression of the deep religious nature of The Traditional Craft.

Traditional Witches have always been spiritually minded folk, with a cosmology placing them in the middle of the universe, while many are also dedicated to the honoring of specific gods through family tradition.

Naturalistic Pantheism
Underlying most Trad Witchcraft spirituality is the concept of Naturalistic Pantheism. This is the belief that "everything in the universe is God and God is everything in the universe" and furthermore, that god and Nature are the same thing.

This means the essence of the divine is in each tree, each animal, each plant, and even in rocks, the ground, and the space above it. In fact, God and Nature is the same thing.

We also believe that Nature encompasses the physical world as well as the spiritual world (heaven).

"That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God."

- Albert Einstein

To the pantheist, the divine essence is not a remote or detached "Almighty God" male figure on a throne in heaven, kept busy judging and punishing us. Instead, the divine essence is an intimate God that is very much part of everything in our lives, and is part of us. For God does not transcend reality but is immanent within reality, or rather, "all reality is in God."

Thus, for Einstein, Rousseau, Virgil, Blake, Wordsworth, Goethe, Tennyson, Whitman, and many Trad Crafters, God [or the gods] is [are] far more than deeply interfused with us, our lives, and our world of Nature.

For it is Nature that evokes our religious feelings of awe and belonging. For Nature is divine. Thus Nature is sacred and is so deeply revered.

Universal Equality
Most Trad Witches subscribe to the concept of the absolute equality of all life forms, both on Earth and on the Otherside (heaven). Thus, Trad Crafters usually believe that males and females are completely equal, but also that the spirits of the living and the spirits of the dead are also equal. The only difference is that one is on Earth and the other is on the OtherSide (heaven).

Spirits are commonly thought of as one might think of a neighbor, friend, or fellow student of beginner witch craft, because in fact, they are. A spirit is simply nothing more and nothing less than another person.

As with all people, the individual personality of spirits varies as the personality of the humans we know varies. Some spirits will be coöperative and helpful, and a few spirits will be uncoöperative and nasty. Most spirits we do not know from other lives will tend to be neutral, until we ask them for help. Just as below, so too above.
