Wwicked witches:
conversation with wendy the witch continued
...experience that she had when she was twelve years old visiting her grandparents’ home. Wendy and her sister were sleeping in one room, their parents in another, and grandparent in their own room. During the night Wendy’s sister got up and went down stairs. Wendy then shared with me what she had experienced after her sister left the room
“I felt like some else was there but I was falling asleep. I then felt my bed lift up and start to shake. I then sat up and said ‘Well, that was just rude.’ I realized after that instance that I wasn’t afraid of the things that people are usually afraid of; things that they don’t know how to handle. I’ve always this kind of knowing all my life.”
Wendy continued on explaining that she has had a sense of knowing certain things all her life. Often having unexplainable and/or metaphysical have happened to her though out her life. This sense of understanding and knowing has lead Wendy to realize at a young age that she has no fear of the Spiritual World. When this event accord Wendy did not even go and get her parents. There is a possiblity that her parents are even aware that this event happened. Ms. Wendy is one to believe that all of us (magickal practionors and those of the mundane) have spirriual and metaphysiocal experience daily. Most of the time those one could consider "muggles" for lack of a better term chalk it up to the imagination or are unsettled and try to forget an event entirely. One of the many reasons Wendy loves working at Mystikal Scents because she is able to assist "muggles" and witches when they come in with a questions about spiritual or metaphysical issues they are having. A saying that Wendy firmly believes is that Witches are Witches because they've held true to the understanding that the magick is out there and everyone is connected to that magick. Our discussion continued on to how today’s modern technology has changed how us human’s live our lives. Now more than ever information is in the palms of our hands. Technology has brought people together and distracted us from the world around us at the same. It can be seen as a blessing and a curse. Despite our material blessing it is not enough for the human spirit to thrive.
“It’s not enough and it won’t be. We are going to try force materials to be enough for and that will crash down. However, it will get better. Mystikal Scents is a hub where all people can come to learn and ask questions. We are getting a lot of new costumers since last year. It has been intense. People whom are Christian or people who are Islamic or people who would have never concerned talking to witches are coming in and they are looking for answers that they cannot find in what they were taught as children.”
I know that if we were able to do so, Ms. Wendy and I could speak for hours. She and all of the wonderful people at Mystikal Scents have such a gentle wisdom and I believe that is what really brings people to the shop. Not the crystals, the classes, or the hundreds of incense that they sell because those things can be bought elsewhere. It is the energy and the willingness to share knowledge with every person that comes through the door. We continued on with our conversation and touched on religion of all kinds. Many faiths teach their followers that their way is correct and everyone else is wrong. We agreed that this way of thinking makes a person physically and spiritually stagnate. We are not just talking about the Abrahamic faiths but one can become stagnate in a Pagan or Magickal path as well if the person is not willing to listen to others and grow.
“The Universe has always asked that we do one thing and that is change; that you be fluid. That’s why it is called The Flow. You don’t call it The Stagnation or The Pond. The River of Life, everyone is a river. They have deep areas, shallow areas; they have fish and bacteria. We are all connected and apart of one stream. We are all going to empty out into the same Delta.”
“When you get down in dumps and you are feeling anxiety about your life just remember how unlikely it is, your birth. How unlikely it is that you actually exist at all. So, everyone who thinks that they are not special, that they are not making a difference is untrue. Everyone is so special and amazing. We are worried about something or someone taking that from us. Nobody can take your magick away from you.”
