i'm overwhelmed by how rich and beautiful hinduism is. how am I only just realizing this, though? over the course of my journey i've learned about and adopted practices from, wicca, folk magic, new age, shamanism, anthroposophy, druidry, etc. i know at some point or another, with all of these things, i read or heard there was an eastern spiritual influence. when i left christianity, i picked up where i left off, and started looking for answers in witchcraft/paganism again. it's a beautiful realm of spirituality that a big piece of me still inhabits. however, something just wasn't falling into place. i'd search and read (and read) and just couldn't settle. example: witchcraft is where i feel a draw. but where did it come from? i particularly like wicca because it's a fleshed out religion. oh, it is a reconstruction/re-appropriated system that works for some, but isn't shining in the historical integrity or culture department. wasn't theosophy involved? where did that come from? another sort of mish-mash appropriating eastern spirituality.... Hinduism is so vast and open in a way i never understood before. as someone who identifies as a witch, but longed for something more... truly ancient/overwhelmingly tangible i am adoring this new discovery very much.

i use the word 'witch' to describe that im naturally sensative, intuitive, and feel a real relationship with the earth and the spirits inhabiting it. i can receive visions and messages in dreams (at times prophetic). mythology speaks to me and comes alive.

i dont use the word 'witch' to mean im attempting to have control, or impose my will. the crux of my practice is not my own power, but the act of receiving and living in reciprocity with the other-than-human beings of the land.

i know there are other words i can use that may be more accurate, but i still prefer witch. its something in my bones i cant ignore.
