The Witch's Most Important Tool
I haven't taken many students over the years, but—let me tell you—I couldn't be prouder of those that I have.
Here's why:
They all disagree with me.
You can be a witch and not know anything about Tarot.
You can be a witch and not know anything about chakras.
You can be a witch and not know anything about astrology, Qabala, or I Ching.
But you can't be a witch and not know how to think for yourself.
The ability to think creatively is the witch's most important tool.
A student and I were standing one night watching the drumming and dancing.
“I think that you listen to me too much,” I told him.
He looked at me.
“I disagree,” he replied.
Which is, of course, exactly the right response.
You know who you are.
