Do you see the cobbles on the streets? Everywhere you look, stone & rock. Can you imagine what it feels like to reach down with your bones & feel the living stones? The city is built on itself, all the cities that came before. Can you imagine how it feels to lie down on an ancient flagstone & feel the power of the rock buoying you up against the tug of the world? And that's where witchcraft begins. The stones have life, & I'm part of it. - adapted from Terry Pratchett
The gentleman whose picture illustrates this post is a mixed martial artist called David 'One More' Round. My opinion is that witchcraft, in fact magic, bears more resemblance to a martial art than a religion, and in fact I think David's tattoo is a perfect motto for a witch: Be the Hero in Your Own Life. The witch, as well as the martial artist, must step up and stop looking for heroes outside. Below is a video of David talking and another of a suitable song for the theme of this post.
Oh, I quite agree. Witchcraft is an artform not a religion. Well, except for those wicca ninnies, but I don't think they're proper witches, anyway.
ReplyDeleteOh I don't know, I suspect possibly the early ones were? And I do like Candia Mckkormick enormously
