TRUE MAGICK

In the beginning there was The Great Spirit.

At this time the world slept in the arms of the dark void. From this

place of nothingness, The Great Spirit drew together and created Our Lady of

Infinite Love who is known as the Goddess and also Hectate.

The Lady danced among the heavens, Her feet beating out the rhythm of all

creation. Sparks of light fell from Her hair, giving birth to the stars

and planets. As Her dancing quickened She formed the

seas and mountains of Earth. She chanted words of love and joy, and as these

sounds fell to the Earth, the trees and flowers were born.

From the pure, white light of Her breath came the colors of the universe,

turning all things to vibrant beauty. From the bubbling laughter that spilled from Her lips

sprang the sounds of the pristine running water of the streams, the gentle

lapping vibrations of the lake, and the roaring screams of the oceans. Her tears

of joy became the rains of our survival.

When Her dancing slowed and She sought a companion to share the wonders of

the world, The Great Spirit created The Lord as Her life mate and companion, and named him Pan.

Because the Goddess so loved the Earth, The Great Spirit made Her companion half spirit, half animal, so that together the Lord and Lady could populate our planet. The

Lord's power moves through her and She showers the Earth and all upon it with

Her blessings. Together, the Lord and Lady gave birth to the birds, animals,

fish, and people of our world.

To protect and guide the humans, the Lord and

Lady created the angels and power spirits. These energies walk with us

always, though we may not often see them. Their speech creates a tapestry of

positive energy, from which we draw strength.

To each bird the Lady gave a magic song, and to each animal the Lord bestowed the instinct to survive. The God is the master of the animal and plant kingdoms, and therefore wears

the antlers of a stag crowning His great head. This aspect of half man, half

animal shows His joy in both the human and animal creations of the Great Spirit.

 As the humans began to grow and prosper, the Lord and Lady saw a need for

healers among them. And so they drew forth energy from the realm of the Etheric

and Astral Planes, The OtherWorld (the realm of the power animals), and the

Physical realm of the humans to create the Witches.

The Witches brought with them the wisdom of the Lord and Lady, the ability

to heal, and the art of Magick. The Lady taught the Witches how to cast a

Magick circle and talk to The Great Spirit, and the Lord taught the Witches how to

communicate with the elemental energies of air, fire, earth, and water, and

commune with the animal and plant kingdoms. 

At first, the humans accepted the Witches and treated them fairly; but

because the Witches are different, humans began to fear the Wise Ones of the Lord

and Lady, thus the Witches became the Hidden Children, conducting their rites

of positive energy in secret lest they risk capture and death at the hands

of uneducated humans.

As the world grew darker with ignorance and hate of human creation, The Lady

took the body of the Moon for her self as a symbol to represent the gentle light of her perfect peace

and the Lord took the vibrant rays of the Sun as his symbol of strength in

perfect love, and both retired to the SummerLand.
