I posted the blurb below on a Facebook group that I belong to today. I was thinking about it and wondered why I am reluctant to actually post about my witchcraft activities here. Judgement? Should I care at this point in my life? I'm not trying to change anyone else's beliefs, just being joyful that I finally found the truth.
Here's what I posted:
Having
been diagnosed about 4 years ago with Alzheimer's put me into a spin.
My doctor advised me to find something new to learn and keep the
progress in a slow down state. Not really sure how Tarot jumped into my
path, but you must know the rabbit hole that took me down into runes, iChing, astrology and such until I discovered witchcraft.
I
do have a blog about this journey. I'm not really too brave about
posting the witchcraft beliefs because I'm afraid of scaring off those
I'm trying to reach. I do post more on Instagram though where I am
jeanchaneyaz.
(This is a photo that I played with using Procreate and Pixabay. I do not have long hair, lol! The only part of the photo that is "me" is the face.)
People have misconceptions about witchcraft and it has a negative connotation. I'm like you, I don't often tell people I'm a witch. Witchcraft is misunderstood and social media surely doesn't help!
ReplyDeleteI look at what other minorities have gone through and the gains they have made over the past few years and I can only hope, that by being more open, we might help to change the negativity that surrounds the gentle practice of witchcraft.
DeleteThank you for your comment. I agree that we really need to find ways to educate people about what witchcraft really is and what it isn't.
