#agnostic witch

[pocketcrystal]

I'm still figuring out my beliefs but I consider myself an agnostic pagan witch. I don't know if I believe in the supernatural or deities as literal entities or not. I lean towards yes, at least to some extent, but due to how my brain works I'm just never going to be 100% unless I get some sort of evidence in the affirmative (I don't think there's really a way to definitively prove they don't exist). This really got in the way of my practice for many years because I was constantly second guessing. In a lot of magical systems belief is step one and any doubt will keep it from working.

However, a few months ago I found Sedna Woo's channel on Youtube and she introduced me to a new way of thinking of it. My current philosophy is that it doesn't matter if my witchcraft is a placebo or if there is at least a partial supernatural explanation, if it works it works. It doesn't matter if deities are literal individual entities (the explanation I would like to be true), facets of a whole, or figments of my imagination if I derive comfort from worshiping them. Could change if I ever receive unmistakable signs or communication, but I am trying to accept that in all likelihood that will not be something I ever experience.

hey! I hope you're doing well!

So for context, two years ago was the first time when I felt the urge to dabble in witchcraft and try to listen to my intuition, I started with small spell works, astrology and tarot. But due to some other reasons, i guess i placed too much importance on achieving stuff through spirituality rather than putting in my part, but i feel like i lost my faith. And even before wanting to practice witchcraft i was an agnostic, so my faith was lost very easily ig.

Now my question is, i wanted to get back into witchcraft because i can't deny that it feels like a part of me, i want to be able to have faith again, but i don't know where to start? And then there's other people who have made me feel like I'm less relevant or stupid for having such beliefs....

You don't need to answer anything but i would love it if you could....

Hope you have a nice week!!

Hi friend! Thanks for the ask, I really appreciate it.

I want to start off by saying this is incredibly relatable. Even though it's not necessarily talked about a lot, I think most people in the witchcraft community can say that they've lost faith in their beliefs and/or witchcraft at one point. You're definitely not alone in the feeling.

Now obviously, I don't know your preferred witchcraft practice and I don't fully know your belief system so please take this advice with a grain of salt. What I think you should start with is just asking for a sign. Ask for some angel numbers or another symbol or animal that feels relevant to you. It's easier to feel gain trust, faith and comfort when you have some concrete experience to build off.

Once you feel comfortable, I think it would be good for you to unpack why you lost faith and why you stopped practicing witchcraft. Dedicate some time to just write down all of your thoughts. they don't have to be coherent. You just need to get them out. And make sure you don't feel guilty about losing faith or pausing your witchcraft practice. As an additional question, why does what other people think of your beliefs effect you?

Next, personally, I would write down all things you used to do in your witchcraft practice that made you feel happy and content. What were your favourite parts of your practice? Start there. Do maybe 1 or 2 small things every few days or every week or so. The goal of this is just get you into the grove of practicing again, to help you feel connected to your craft. It's to help remind you why you practice witchcraft and to show that even the small practices can be fulfilling. This way you don't feel like you need to go straight back to putting a lot of weight on achieving these crazy workings.

Also, I just wanted to quickly touch on something you said specifically, "even before wanting to practice witchcraft i was an agnostic, so my faith was lost very easily ig". Being agnostic does not make your faith any weaker than anyone else's. I'm not sure if that was the intention behind that sentence but I wanted to mention it. You're not more likely to loose faith if you're agnostic. It's the same likelihood as everyone else.

Hopefully this is a nice jumping off point for you! I hope this helped! Have a lovely day :)

Encircled by beauty, nature's embrace,

Fairy rings harbor a mystical space.

Quietly observe, with eyes truly see,

For if you are lucky, you'll see their one true queen bee.

This has basically just become like a junk drawer blog. Recently the only parts of my practice I do often is working with my tarot decks and pendulum, and cooking.

On Sanity

Chesterton has already pointed this out, but I was struck anew today after talking with a robin and feeling wind in my hair, that it was the irrational, not the rational, that makes us sane.

To love, to befriend, to laugh, to think philosophically, to write, to play, to dream. Poetry, music, dancing, nature. As I watched the sunset and whistled, feeling more sane than I ever had in my weeks of studying for exams, I remembered it is the neglect of these that leads to madness. For it is not the dancers and florists who go mad, but mathematicians and chess grandmasters.

Aquinas says that the nature of a human is to be a rational animal. He said that, of course, to distinguish us from animals. Unlike them we have the power to reason, and it is a terrible power and beautiful responsibility. But even Aquinas from his ivory tower doesn't dare eliminate the animal inside us.

There is something deep in the bones of our nature quite apart from rationality. We are animals still, and we must love that. The primal, the guttural, the free and the wild. This too makes us human.

For any of my witches out there. I’m thinking about getting into Scottish folk magic. My last name is Scottish so I’m assuming we’re from there somehow.

I don’t know what resources are good. If you have any suggestions please let me know.
