I remember when it all changed…

The shift from an intellectual pursuit to really FEELING the Magick I was studying. 

I was 21 and had been exploring various books and practices about Wicca and Witchcraft. I didn’t really know what I was doing and the internet really wasn’t a thing of any significance yet so there were limited ways to learn. But regardless of that I was just so enthralled by it all. So I kept going.  

I tried doing different little spells and made plenty of mistakes along the way. I attempted to celebrate some of the Wheel of the Year holidays but wasn’t sure if I was getting the hang of it. I was too much in my head about it. Analyzing (or frankly, overanalyzing) everything and trying to follow exactly what I read- even though it wasn’t quite hitting home. 

Until one day—I did a little ceremony. I cast my circle and lit the candles and burned the herbs. I had done these things before. But this time I did something else that I hadn’t yet done.  

I INVOKED THE ELEMENTS. 

And from that moment on it all clicked. The powerful act of Invocation took me out of my analytical mind and put me into my body.  This allowed me to FEEL the energy and actually connect with the beauty of the ritual and Magick. 

Do yourself a favor—if you’re feeling like something is kinda missing or not quite there in your spiritual connection—explore this ancient practice of Invocation and see if it helps to bring you home to your Divinity in the way it did for me
