When I first pined a picture of a Pentagram on my wall my brother had a talk with me. He was worried I was getting into some kind of deep trouble. Which is understandable. Every time someone sees this ancient symbol it is associated with something bad. I am here to inform you that I had no bad intentions and fully was aware of what I pinned on my wall that day. Wicca or Witchcraft can be a religion. But it also doesn't have to be. It is not my religion but it is something I practice and enjoy. You don't need to be sworn in or anything. If you practice the things I will teach you here and your intentions are pure and good; then you are a good witch! My mother always told me to not be 100% dedicated to anything. She believes in a balance. I think she is right. There needs to be balance in just about everything. An example of this would be Lemon Water. Lemon water is very good for you to drink but if you drink too much of it or drink it everyday it actually is very bad for you. This has been proven to me time and time again. I don't recommend that you take the craft and make it an all-day, everyday kind of thing. But I do want to open your eyes to the magic that is all around you! Something you can keep in the back of your head for when you need it. What is a Pentagram? A pentagram is a five point star. Symbolically used in ancient Greece. A symbol of Faith by many wiccans. The way I like to think of it is on its own it is a star I have drawn as a child. The star inside of a circle is a little more meaningful. The circle is sacred. It is an object with no start and no end. The circle may never be broken. So the star is safe when it is in the circle. Safe from harmful words, safe from negativity, safe from hurtful people, etc. I have drawn this star inside its circle many times for protection against toxic, emotional vampires. When I started my new job there were a few people that I swear had it out for me. I simply drew the star on a sticky-note and hid it in my desk. I also took a moment to hold it in my hand and take some deep breathes. I thought about how much I wanted this job to work. I thought about how I just wanted to gain friends not enemies. I told the star to keep me safe in the workplace and that I will try my best to shine a smile onto all around me. Needless to say. It worked. The same people that were angry with me were now nice and friendly. I absolutely love my job! Like most religions: There is a good and bad way to view many religious symbols. The most basic one is to simply turn it upside down. The Christian Cross is something holy. Turn the cross upside down and it means something a lot more sinister. This is the same with the witches pentagram. There are good witches and bad witches. No worries! I am a good witch. I will only be talking about things that are for the good of ones spirit. Spreading peace, love, joy and happiness! These are my intentions. As you see in the photo above: This is what each point and each line creating the pentagram means! The star honors each witches element. Spirit, Water, Fire, Earth and Air. These elements are the basis for the type of craft I practice. I am obsessed with nature. We are part of nature and nature is a part of us! You belong here just as the trees that provide us oxygen It also adds in some basic guides to try and live by. These are love, gratitude, respect, compassion and forgiveness. Hope this gives you some insight on this symbol. Not something scary at all. Thanks for reading! -Brittany ![]() Calling all that enjoy the magical world! If you are interested in real-life magic and witchcraft this is the blog for you. My hope is to explain everything you need to know to incorporate the craft into everyday life. Take note! THIS IS A WHITE WITCHES BLOG! There will be no talk of things that brings bad karma, vibes or anything of the sort. This means I am not going to teach anyone how to hex another or banish them to the hounds of hell. I am also talking about REAL magic. I am not going to show you how to ride a broomstick. There sadly is no teleportation or turning people into frogs. This is a place for meditation, calming vibes, helping depression or anxiety and providing a safe space. I want my readers to feel like they are talking to a friend. So welcome friends! Let me share my thoughts and knowledge. I have been dealing with anxiety for years now. There were times that got really bad. Like in the hospital bad. But I am so proud of how far I have come. I want to share some tips and tricks of things that got me through the day. I also want to share some witchy tips of how believing in something more than what the naked eye sees. So what is "Westwic"? I haven't found much on this word. But no matter what it means... To me it stands for wiccans of the west. All the times I have traveled / moved away I have always been to the West. Also my mothers maiden name is West so this is something that has always been close to my heart. I will try to post as often as I can. I am very excited about this new journal of sharing this with the online world & I hope you enjoy. Talk to you soon. -Brittany |
