“Blessed are the curious, for they shall have adventures.”
I begin this post with a quote regarding the curious, the seekers, and the adventurers. In one way or another, we find ourselves setting off in search of something in our lives and so embodying the archetype of the fool; Freshly green and ready to move forward into the unknown with only our wits and instincts to guide us. This example is what I intend to do with these posts: I intend to go on an adventure, and I hope to take you along, dear reader, with me beyond the veil.
This entails seeking true magick and meaning where they can be found and sharing that with you so that we may rise together on this plane of existence. The veil is another word for the liminal, the place in-between this world and the next. It is a place of mystery and pure potential, where energies and entities intersect.
To peek or venture beyond the veil is to come into contact with said energies, and by doing so become something liminal ourselves with one foot in both worlds. That is what a witch or magical practitioner is. Someone straddled between worlds, one who learns of what is beyond the veil, who gains power but for something greater than themselves.
This isn’t going to be an introduction or cursory glance at magick, but rather an in-depth study of the complexities and intricacies of this ancient and profound arte. I will also write on current events within our community and how we as witches can make a difference in the world, for we are the children of Aradia and have a duty to face injustices and use what we have to ensure that we leave the world better than how we found it.
