An Opinion from a Witch!
A Witch refuses to allow her/himself to be corrupted by the great guilt neuroses which have been foisted on humanity in the name of the Divine, thus freeing the self of the slavery of the mind. The Witch expresses responsibility for her/his actions, and accepts the consequences of them; guilt is rejected as inhibiting to one’s self-actualisation, and replaced by the efforts of the Witch to o...
Characteristics of the Elements
There is a vaporous, subtle and invisible quality to each of these things which we called the physical elements. The ancients have told us that all of creation was brought into being when the Spirit drew the four elements unto itself. These elements are called Earth, Air, Fire and Water. And they are controlled by Spirit. Each of these elements possesses an etheric double. It is this essence which...
Rebirth
The human body will eventually fade away after the death experience. Yet the Soul cannot be destroyed, nor is it subject to physical actions or restrictions.

After this it will be escorted by the Old Ones to the Moon Worlds. For the Strega the desire is to enter t...

Therefore, what people strongly believe in enough can be created astrally. This is one method by which ritual Magic is performed. Energy is first raise...
The Act of Rebirth
After the death experience has been completed, then the Soul is made ready to be born again. When a couple is engaged in sexual union, a whirlpool of energy (a vortex) is created above them. This energy attracts Souls who are awaiting rebirth, from the plane which is harmonious to the energy of the union (the vortex is a composite aura of the couple). Once attracted, the Soul will be drawn into th...

After life in the physical world, the Soul is believed to journey here, finding a place to rest, heal, and renew its spirit.
