Watcher, when was the last time you stepped out of your skin and into the skin of another?
Wanderer, when was the last time you left a pretty pebble on your Ancestor Altar just to show them what you found on your travels?
Witch, when was the last time you picked up each item from your Altar and cleansed it, recharged it, and CONNECTED with it?
Bard, Healer, Smith, when was the last time you looked at your tools, your instruments, your jars, and your hands, that know how to use each of them?
Druid, Heathen, Pagan Priest and Priestess, when was the last time you ALLOWED Watcher to step into YOUR skin and speak of what they Saw on the roads your Gods walk?
Dreams are only a small piece of Sight, but you already know this.
Sight comes when you take off the blindfolds and allow the nictitating membrane to protect your eyes while you Seek inwards.
Sight means looking through open eyes from beneath the membrane and SEEING what nobody else can or desires to.
Those lines on your face are from when you were touched by something so Ancient your skin withdrew from the Energy and it left its mark on you...

Weariness tells the truth about how far you walked with the Gods beside you, and how deeply felt was your conversation with the Dead.
There are no longer any lights down near the Darkest pools of thickly churning water, for the Unformed have gone deeper than you can follow.
Ancestor Dances with your words in his mouth, and spits them back out as Dreams and Memories.
Heed them. You were there once before.
Summer nears for some as Spring begins to fruit, and Winter draws in for others as the same fruits wither unpicked and bitter.
Watch closely.
Activity is often peripheral.
Feed the damned, the cursed, and leave flowers for the blessed and the fulfilled..... Or is it the other way around? You will find out....

Ghosts? Spirits? The leftover Energy of Universe and the Past? Understanding how everything is related and how everything works takes more lifetimes than we have, but we can try to live in harmony with them.
Spiral takes in Energy, transforming it into something we can work with, sending it back out as an Echo. Whether or not we HEAR that Echo depends entirely on how we listen.
Gods are the Immortal translators of the Shadows, and the Elements their Energy. Elementals are the living threads that bind us all together in one space at different TIMES yet in the same MOMENT. See how that works?
No?
Me either, but I don't question what I hear in my ears when it is so Dark my skin bruises from its weight...

Bring home your name.
Wherever it is that the ground sighs when you step onto it, and wherever it is that the cemetery rises into your gait as you walk upon it, there your name belongs.
Moon watches you walk carefully through the Shadows of distant Kin, listening as the voices of Ago rise as one long Keening.
Bring home your name.
Watch from behind the fire as Water gives up its Dead, and they walk onto the same rocks that refused to yield to the compasses of Stars.
Listen for the Gods as they whisper just loudly enough to drive the listeners to madness, but wait.... there it is, your name, spoken in the Ancient tongue.
Capture the words in the silk of Weaver, and tuck it into the pouch of gut, where you carry it, nestled beside the Nuumite Pendulum that cannot lie. Ancient stone has nothing to hide when it has Seen more than the One who asks....

Oracle Sees. Oracle Scents. Oracle Hears. Oracle Tastes, and Oracle Touches. Most of all... Oracle KNOWS.
Oracle follows their own name, taking it home wrapped in equal parts Sea foam and Graveyard dirt, tied with the hair of a pregnant Mare the colour of midnight and Abyss....
Watch closely and learn.
Witchcraft is working with the Oracles of Gods, and telling them your name belongs only to those whose Blood ran down into the Cupstones millennia ago.
Witchcraft is FINDING yourself lost upon a path in a strange Dream, and knowing instinctively the way home is to call your own name.
Witchcraft is asking Oak for His Seed, and being granted your request, and Witchcraft is knowing which of His creatures watch you take that Seed home.
Witchcraft is feeling your way back from the edge of the Darkest corners of Self through the Witches ladder you knotted into your Soul.
Witchcraft is keeping an edge on your dagger just in case...

Carry your Rosemary and your Sage, your Broom flowers and your Ferns, tied within a small Bay wreath and hung on your belt with your curved copper blade.
Collect your bleached mandibles and string them from staffs to capture words in the Zephyr and repeat them to you.
Paint your hands with Henna, your face with Woad, and boil the roots of Nightshades on the night of the Witches Moon.

Bring home your name, and walk it to your table.

Loneliness in a Spiritual sense is a state of Imbalance that occurs when the Shadows allow you to forget just how much LIFE is around you. I speak not of our friends, our partners, our televisions, for they are not the cause of empty spaces within. (Today anyway...)
Loneliness of Spiritual Self happens when your Wards have been carried or put in place with no set instructions.
Wards are not for "just in case of uncomfortable s**t close your eyes and grip tightly"
Wards are specific. Wards take time and Focus to create, to recharge, and to dismantle.
Putting up a Ward, or laying down a Ward for "general safety and whatnot" creates a loneliness so deep it makes you wonder if your larynx has been deactivated.
Examples of temporary Warding would be during a Samhain Feast when you have invited certain guests by name, and by photograph, painting, or a Memento Mori. You Charm your Hagstone as their safe entry point, OR your cat door, or usual safe Spirit Entry point for Ritual work, even Self, if you Channel for Ritual. Once your Supper and Divination has begun, you'll not want any unknowns or unwelcomes to hijack your special night, so you place your Wards at the Cardinal Direction Points. You uplift them, cleanse, clear and ground when all is done the next morning, after seeing your chosen guests out through the Hagstone or chosen portal.

Loneliness through Spiritual protection so intensely strong that you shut yourself off from the vibration of Life is born out of fear, and out of a misunderstanding of the power of the Life around you.
Not everything wants to hurt you.
Not everything is going to sound like or resemble the person who hurt you.
Not everything is out to get you or use your Energy for their own purpose.
Stop watching those movies "based on real life", because the ACTUAL truth is often so mundane that movie or documentary makers insert their own "poetic license" and childhood fears. Don't fall for something designed to entertain and make it gospel. I am forbidden to bring a Spirit Board into my house because my husband has watched too much bulls**t. I have other ways although a Ouija board is still a much desired possession.... (pun intended)
Find the tiny lives that exist around you. Communication with those opens the door to other worlds.
Absolutely there are things that will work cheerfully for Trickster, but they are easily put off by simply asking the benign Energies to alert you. There are specific Amulets for the Unseely creatures that render the wearer Untouchable. Make one. Make it unique to YOU. Put it on when you open Self. It's not a Ward, so those with whom you wish to speak will still come forward.
Amulet equals AWAY from you.
Talisman equals TOWARD you.

Remember that YOU are in control of YOUR Magic, YOUR Witchcraft, YOUR Energy and YOUR Sacred Spaces.
Don't let those things be stolen from you by your own fear or limitations.
Light your candles in whichever colour or material YOU choose, and speak to the tiny creatures that sit on the leaves of your plants in the Sunlight. Speak to the creatures that burrow into the soil until Moonrise, and speak to the flying beasts that struggle in the silky traps of Arachne. Do not free them. It is not for you to decide who lives and who dies on that level. THAT will get every eye you don't want on you to swivel in your direction.
Life is life.
Death is death.
Neither has to be lonely.
Spirit is better wifi than WIFI is.
