A little witch craft and a reminder—yesterday we were talking about faith and it may seem sacrilege to compare witchcraft to faith, but the truth is the connection to mind/body/sprit/earth is the most profound example of having faith I can think of.  It demonstrates the connection we have to source and to ourselves.  I had a few moments over the last few weeks that really highlighted that for me.  I was having a rough day at work and I really needed to get out of there.  Full transparency, I started thinking of an excuse like a teenager to leave.  I told myself I could say that CJ hit his head at school.  I immediately told myself, “No, that’s bad karma and I don’t want to put that out in the world.”  Within the hour, I legitimately got an email from his teacher that he had bumped his head at school.  I mentioned the incident with the book from Dave Grohl.  I have honestly wanted that book for a while and when I saw it for less than $14 and in paperback, I really wanted it.  With it being the holidays I hesitated because there were other things I needed to get as well.  Something still told me to put it in the cart so I did.  When I got in the car and started scrolling (something I do when anxious), I saw the meme about Dave Grohl’s cat.  That couldn’t have been coincidence—that was confirmation.

I knew in that instant that it was time to stop screwing around, make a decision, get a clear vision, and to stop being afraid of connecting with the instincts that were clearly showing through.  It’s ok to be a little witchy and connect with what makes sense for me even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else.  It’s ok to have the belief and certainty in ourselves that we can make the things we want happen as long as they are in the natural order.  Our connection is demonstrated in the most random of ways sometimes, and when that happens, we need to be grateful and trust that we are following the right path.  Knowing we are in the right place at the right time.  Following our instincts.  It’s hard in a world filled with distraction, endless to do lists, goals that aren’t fully ours but demonstrate status/success, insecurity, fear, and a myriad of other things that keep the goal out of focus.  All of those things piled together keep us as far from our instincts as possible.  But we need to know what we are doing and trust what we are doing.  Connecting with self is the most important thing we can do.  That’s the surest way to connect with the universe and spirit—through knowing ourselves.  Having faith in itself is a little witchy—trusting what we can’t see.  There is an endless source of magic in the world and we are part of that.  So, trust and believe, trust the signs and follow it.  That’s how the magic unfolds.
