Notes from page 4

  • Modern Witchcraft is a path of wisdom that emphasizes a radical new form of personal sovereignty, truth-seeking, empowerment, and responsibility.

  • It stands proudly on the foundations of our ancestors while we craft a meaningful connection to nature that serves our future.

  • Modern Witchcraft is a spirituality that blends scientific knowledge and ancient mysticism with the goal of evolving beyond the pitfalls of other religions.

  • It provides a lens through which we can maintain a balanced perspective, offering a structure through which we can process life’s challenges and grow through them with grace.

Treading the witching path is a lot like a dance to the rhythm of nature. We move through the dance in partnership with the God/dess. Sometimes it is a waltz; sometimes it is a mosh pit, but Witchcraft teaches us to lace up our combat boots and jump right in.

  • This form of Modern Witchcraft is a reclaimed form of Neopagan religion. Specifically, the panentheism influenced by the Greco-Egyptian philosophy known as Hermetics.

  • It is also an occult magickal system emerging within the Western Esoteric Traditions: Neoplatonic philosophy, Hermetic alchemy, Rosicrucian Order, Theosophy, Freemasonry, theurgy, qabala, astrology, tarot cards, yoga, chakra systems, Wicca, New Thought, New Age, metaphysics, and psychology.

  • Despite the ancient sources, the cosmology and paradigm of Hermetics easily aligns with advances in scientific discoveries and provides a naturally progressive, ecologically sustainable, culturally transformative, and radically inclusive framework through which we evolve into a globally aware twenty-first century.
