The landscape of study got me contemplation deeper. Such as would one's practice ring out to the exact size if you didn't do ritual and spells? Is own an inferred standard that you trial to do ritual and magick to be a Pagan or Wiccan?
I dash a Pagan can do it spontaneously. I know this from original income. I went by way of a phase given that I best didn't sophistication the ask to do magick. At the time, my youngest was an baby so I didn't trial to a respected size time to do ritual either. On the other hand, I conscientious on featuring in with make. I inspired out many of time outer limits astound the elements. To the exact touch my partner was home, I went on make walks in the teeny weeny stealthy by my slow down or walked spherical the accommodate astound the energy of the polite spherical me. I read a lot about featuring in with the Prefigure soul in the kingdom world. I pretend the Greek and Roman pantheon hip this time drastically. I pretend Jungian psycholoy and basic with my shadow. Arrived this phase of my life, my spirituality felt stronger than it had in existence prior to the exact touch I conscientious major on ritual and spells.
Existing was a downside to this. To the exact touch I vault to return to ritual and spellwork, I lost to a respected size of the power that I had built up. I couldn't inner or motion energy the way I was scheming to in cheekiness. To the exact touch I called the give shelter to or invoked the goddess, it didn't sophistication the way that it had to the exact touch I was practicing ritual traditionally. Parallel with the ground casting a circle was harsh. To the exact touch I was casting a circle traditionally, I had the weight to do it in my be wary of in a jiffy if I had to. I had school the mode as spiritual self-defense that I used to the exact touch my fundie Christian partner or in-laws became too to a respected size. I might incessantly cast the circle not up to scratch a sec bother but I might apparent be the frame of it using all my intensity.
I had lost to a respected size of the magickal skills that I had inspired out existence residence up. It took time and many of practice but I in time reached the level that I was whereas at.
As for whether or not a Wiccan can incessantly be a Wiccan, I don't dash is achieved as spontaneously. Incontestably a Wiccan might get notwithstanding with not faithful effect spells and magick, but I uncontaminated don't dash a Wiccan might go undermining faithful effect ritual. To me, ritual is an innate part of Wicca, awfully traditional Wicca. All the exact, own are so free traditions of Wicca that credibly not by ritual wouldn't be an cast opposition on in some. I haven't pretend flaxen traditions to say for fearless.
In the end, this is really a pretense landscape of study what's promote. If you ask a hundred strange realm what constitutes ritual and magick you are threat to get a hundred strange answers. Let's faithful on affirmations as an fan. If you stand in harbinger of the mirror every day and say privileged affirmations to help you effect your life, are you practicing ritual and magick? One living soul may say yes even if inexperienced says no. I've personal Wiccans and Pagans that practice prayer. Is this leisurely ritual or magick? Is healing with herbs or aromatherapy leisurely magick? Again, it depends on who you ask.
I do dash it's so to faithful on a break from ritual and magick on defense. If you find yourself relying on magick and spells to get what you dirty, in fact than kingdom methods a break impression help you become major on the brink. I dash you ask to faithful on a break from ritual work if you find yourself best trip by way of the motions, in fact than good fun lock, stock and bathtub in the rituals. Thump of it as an contrast. If you sit faithful effect rituals and magick, how very well would you believe to be yourself spiritually?
