Diary of a Witchcraft Practitioner Dear Diary, Today I want to share with you my experiences as a witchcraft practitioner. Witchcraft has always fascinated me, and I have spent years studying and honing my craft. It is a beautiful and powerful practice that allows me to connect with nature, harness energy, and manifest my desires. One of the main ideas that I want to highlight is that witchcraft is not what society often portrays it to be. It is not about casting evil spells or causing harm to others. Instead, it is about harnessing the natural energies around us to bring positivity, healing, and transformation into our lives.
Instead, it is about harnessing the natural energies around us to bring positivity, healing, and transformation into our lives. Every morning, I start my day with a grounding meditation. This helps me to center myself and focus my energy.
The Witch-Doctor Diaries - by Wayne Kyle Spitzer (Paperback)
Welcome to the future, where women have been infected with a virus that turns them into witches and men have formed a militarized cult to exterminate them-the Witch Doctors.
Book Synopsis
Welcome to the future, where women have been infected with a virus that turns them into witches and men have formed a militarized cult to exterminate them-the Witch Doctors. You can survive here, if you're lucky; but only if you swear to one of the dominant practices-Puritanism or witchcraft-and are willing to check your humanity at the door. Because in the future, being a man means donning black and white and carrying a fire-breathing musket-the better to incinerate witches by-while being a woman means to live as the undead or a white-eyed practitioner of the black arts. Either way, humanity is doomed. That is, unless a single man and woman can resist-and in so doing, find the courage to cooperate, even love, again.
Will it be Satyena, the beautiful young witch prone to kindness and compassion? Patrobus, the salty platoon sergeant with a secret past? How about Aluka, the intersex witch-doctor caught between worlds? Dive into these tales of the Sex War to find out-tales told in the dystopian tradition of Fahrenheit 451 and Logan's Run-stories at once brutal and beatific, halting and surreal. Do it today, before the future they portend becomes shocking reality .
From The Witch-Doctor Diaries:
Malachi suspects something-has suspected, it's clear to me now, since the raid on Medea Coven. I can see it in his eyes as we stare at each other across the War Wagon: something cool, dispassionate (even behind the smoked lenses of his gas mask), predatory, like a cat. He is on to something, he knows.
My headset crackles as the driver updates our status: "Fifteen minutes to target. Check your belts and harnesses-it's going to get bumpy."
I check my belt and harness, the wagon starting to rock, our tanks clinking and sloshing. Jeremiah offers me a stick of gum-but I shake my head. Nobody says anything.
"Remember, we're going in fast and we're going in hot," crackles Patrobus (as though he has taken up residence in our very minds), "Find the lab, extract what you can, air it out, and then get out. Is that clear?"
Although he doesn't mention him by name, we all know who he's referring to: Malachi, who once let a witch escape just so he could prolong the pursuit. A witch. A woman. A carrier of the M24 virus. Something to be killed on sight.
"It is clear, Captain," says Jeremiah, glancing at his friend-at Malachi. "I'll make sure Doctor Aluka leaves him some targets. We'll keep him occupied."
"Find the lab, Jeremiah. Find out what it is they've been doing there. Then get your men back on this side of the Transom."
And then he is gone and there is just the twelve of us, our buckled hats canted low on our brows, our flame-retardant Puritan tunics black as night and white as snow, our muskets charged and ready to spew fire.
At which moment Malachi looks at me, seeming to smirk behind his mask (which has been spit-shined to a gloss), and says, "How about it, Brother Aluka? A contest! Who can kill the most women? That is-if you still have the jewels for it."
"Lay off him," says Jeremiah. "The Medea raid was tough on everyone. Besides, his record's better than any of us."
But I don't say anything, only use the time remaining to dissemble and clean my weapon, wondering: What did he see and how much does he know? And what will happen when I can no longer hide my eyes-which have begun to turn white when I sleep, witch's white, and take longer to clear each morning? How long is it until I-who am not fully man nor fully woman-have at last become neither; neither male nor female, neither Witch Doctor nor witch?
"Wicca—that old-and-new spiritual path—is enjoying renewed interest, especially in social media. There is no better teacher than Patti Wigington, whose no-nonsense and welcoming style encourages seekers to be curious and courageous. This is a terrific book for true beginners as well as those seeking renewal. Highly recommended." —H. Byron Ballard, priestess, witch, writer
I then proceed to perform rituals and spells that align with my intentions and goals. For example, when I want to attract love, I might create a love spell using herbs, crystals, and candles. And when I need protection, I might create a protection charm to ward off negativity. An important aspect of witchcraft is the connection with nature. I spend a significant amount of time outdoors, observing the elements and connecting with the earth, air, fire, and water. This connection allows me to tap into the natural energies that surround us and utilize them in my rituals and spells. Another main idea is that witchcraft is deeply rooted in spirituality. It is not just about casting spells, but also about cultivating personal growth, self-awareness, and spiritual enlightenment. Through my practice, I have discovered a deep sense of connection with the universe and a profound understanding of myself. Furthermore, witchcraft is a continuous journey of learning and self-improvement. I am constantly researching and expanding my knowledge of different rituals, herbs, crystals, and divination tools. Each new discovery adds to the depth and effectiveness of my craft. In conclusion, being a witchcraft practitioner is a rewarding and transformative experience. It allows me to tap into my personal power, connect with nature, and manifest positive change in my life. Witchcraft is not about darkness and evil, but about embracing the natural energies around us and using them for our highest good. With each ritual and spell, I feel a deeper connection to myself, the universe, and the magic that exists all around us. Until next time, Blessed be..
