Why ‘Lightworkers’ are still perpetuating persecution of their own kind, and cause even more issues than those in the Craft.

Why Lightworkers are inadvertently perpetuating crimes against their own kind, why working with Light and not Earth energy is no guarantee that YOU will not cause troubleand why you are more witch than you give yourself credit for.

I am going to start by saying that I approach this from a viewpoint as someone who would have definitely called myself a categorical light workers a few years ago, and would not wince if someone used that to describe me. I talk about this subject with experience, and with education. Like always, this topic has come up several times over the last few weeks and I know it is something I need to say my piece on.

Also I am not winning any medals here by saying that witches have long had a bad name and am not going to wow anyone by stating that witches and healers have been persecuted for thousands of years. But we are particularly good at doing it in this country, under the veil of indoctrinated Christian rhetoric. And perpetuating toxic patriarchy in allowing healers, of all avenues, to continued to be suppressed.

But if you are someone who balks at the idea of any sort of craft work, please know that by using crystals, or candles, or essential oils, or having images (Idols) of any being or drinking herbal tea, you are doing craft work. Working with nature energy at it’s very best! The way you would have known who was a witch hundreds of years ago was by noting the tools she used. I can assure you, you are using those same tools today, even if you don’t think of yourself as a witch; you are infact doing craft work regardless.

The persecution of witches in this country was brought in by, what I called in my Catholic upbringing, the Low churches. Not called low for their low vibe (although that is sometimes questionable) but in fact for their services being not as blingy and showy as the Catholic and Anglican churches. King James 1st (VI of Scotland – sure you didn’t want to keep him up there?!) was a Puritan and believed in that it was a sin to try to improve the vibration of an environment for Spiritual purposes. And it was all stripped back. At the same time that the magic was being removed from the church, it was also being removed from the people. A process which lasted through many Monarchs and Parliamentarians!

So every witch or craft worker that you simply look down your nose at; understand that you are perpetuating a Christian crime against everyday healers, midwives and women, that is so ingrained in our society and your psyche, that you are not even aware that you are doing it. Do you have so little self awareness and self perspective? If you are a lightworker you should be able to see yourself from the perspective of the Universe easily right?

And know for every witch you continue to judge to be doing ill simply because they working via their own volition, please know that throughout my life, especially since I have been actively in Spiritual circles, I have had more lightworkers drain my energy, and send me shit, including entities, by a ratio of at least three to one to those practicing witchcraft. That’s not to mention a childhood spent around the Catholic church and various Born Again style, right wing Christian non formal churches (most of the issues I encountered were from the latter. and were generally male, non trained or educated pastors preaching their anger at you). Lightworkers both passive and aggressive in their appearance.

The fact is it isn’t the style of energy work you are doing which causes the issues, but your own personal demons which are the main issue. It is YOU!

I will bang on until the cows come home, that you CANNOT be allowed to develop yourself in terms of strengthening your energetic power, through psychic work, unless you are on your own pathway of personal and spiritual enlightenment and healing. As you are learning how to manipulate energy when you do this work. FACT.

We all know people who’s energy is huge just from being in a room with them. And those people who have more than their fair share of flaws, can make you feel powerless and very small at times. Those people are capable of using something called the Evil Eye. In fact we all are, but some are more capable of it than others. It is simply the ability to project all your insecurities over someone else, onto them.

I have encountered that a lot, simply by being. She’s bright; life must come easy for her! Success easy comes easy to her! Bitch! She’s pretty; bet she gets all the best boyfriends. She only got that job because of the way she looks. Slag! And so on and so forth. Women, still sat in toxic femininity and perpetuating the rhetoric of thousands of years worth of toxic patriarchy.

I can assure you, people within the Spiritual circles are no different. You’ll probably flick through some of my other blogs to see when I have been through periods where it has been particularly bad. It is something, which as a true Empath, I am open about. By discussing my journey, I hope to empower others. I am particularly sensitive as I have been sat in the stance my whole life of processing other people’s issues for them! Not fun at times!

Imagine taking someone with a damaged life, and training them in aspects of energetic manipulation, such as psychic work and spiritual mediumship, with no mind paid towards their healing journey or philosophical enlightenment through the Universe. Well the latter a rudimentary scraping away and wondering as to what the after life looks at, while perpetuating the myths of finite right and wrong. No look at the self, or the Ego. No looking to understanding their own responsibility over their thoughts and actions outside of circle once a week and maybe a service on a weekend.

Imagine that person having a great big booting energy. It is a bit like when Obi Wan Kenobi finds Anakin Skywalker and is told by his Master, Qui-Gon, that Anakin is too far gone to be trained to be a Jedi and maintain his personal balance of the dark and the light. Many of those who are trained are too far gone to be trusted to work with the energy in balance.

Be Careful Who you Choose to Train or how you choose to do it. The Battle of Good and Evil only exists within humanity within you. Obe Wan and Anakin

I have personally had to turn people away from circle. Their own issues creating problems within circles I’ve run with David. And it is quite honestly that pettiness, which is one of the main reasons I have never set up anything formal ever again. I am not your mum; you are here to learn and respect eachother. So many can’t respect that; they are too far gone.

But I have seen the end result of those that have been trained. I have in fact had the worst stuff sent to me by people who run churches and spiritual centres.

Some of these people will have buried their own pain and anger so deep that they make a very good job of pretending they are all ‘love and light’, that they have convinced themselves they no longer feel anger (read another blog on Spiritually bypassing emotions here). Of course you still feel anger; you are human. You may have your buttons pushed less and you will be able to work through that anger quicker, but to not feel it is bull at it’s extremes. There are also those that are fully aware of their anger, but as so full of Ego that they feel justified in their actions, failing to see that it is their Ego, not any spiritual cause which has been dented.

Those of them that simply throw an Evil Eye, do so with some power behind it. There are others which convince themselves they need to do healing work. So it is justified for them to fiddle, without permission, in someone else’s energy or personal situations. Now imagine two or three of them getting together and having a good old bitch! Yeah, that’s when that shit gets really destructive, wishing someone this that and the other and have a good ‘good old laugh at your expense’ (what I was actually told by someone very high up within the local community when trying to justify her behaviour during my pregnancy, one which ended up in my child and I nearly dying).

What many of these situations do, when voiced out loud either in ‘prayer’, or in hushed voices between eachother, is you are spell casting! I can assure you that the Universe itself and any celestial being of high enough order will turn it’s nose up at what you are doing. But the attachment which is currently feeding off you, will sure as hell love to get involved! And did you know how easy it is to send out an aspect of yourself to someone else? Astral travelling, sending aspects of yourself and working with other magical practices such as Golems, effectively come down to the same sorts of formulas energetically (this is the difference between educating yourself on how energy works and reciting formulaically the basics you have picked up and then have the gall to use).

And bham!! Your light workers bitching or healing session has infact turned into an all out Spiritual attack. So what makes you think that you’re not doing craft work ey?!

So why do you have a problem when spell casters, or witches are mentioned?

If you can’t control your energy, why do you have the audacity to suggest that other people can’t control theirs? He who is without sin shall cast the first stone and all that!

Witches are generally people who have studied and learned. Who have been educated on their connection into other humans as well as the planet. Who are infact more aware of themselves and their connection to others as well as the Universe, than you are.

Yes, there are a lot of Insta-witches playing at it all. But there are a lot of light workers doing the same thing. Using angel cards with no training or personal development and giving readings to other people, flavoured by their own personal junk. Healing through Divine beings, when they have had no spiritual mediumship training to identify what or who they are channeling and no healing training to get their energy high enough to skim the crap! Nice! Yet you will find them online, looking to make connections, or in meet ups and classes looking to teach you something. Or even believing their own bullshit enough that they have convinced someone to give a talk, get a million followers or get a book deal!

You see the point that I am making, right?!

WE ARE ALL HUMAN. WE ARE ALL FLAWED. You are not better than anyone else because you choose to declare that you work in light. Not meaning to get biblical on your ass, but that is some Grade A Sin of Pride coming to play there. And you know what prides comes before yeah? And you remember who else the Bible say fell? Maybe you’re closer to embodying your own personal Devil than you realise?

Simply because you profess to be all love and light , does not mean that you have healed and empowered your dark side. As, young bedouin, that is the key to your personal magic. By embracing and healing those sides of yourself which make you feel out of control or disempowered. That make you feel too powerful or make you feel powerless. Aspects that are both passive and aggressive. You make yourself whole. In making yourself whole, you are more aligned to the Oneness in the Universe. Only then can you really claim to be everything you say you are.

Additionally, if you were educated and trained, you would understand that the concepts of light and dark, right and wrong, good and evil, angels and demons, do not exist beyond the 5th, 6th and 7th dimensions. These are all human concepts; not Spiritual ones. So if you’re channeling from those dimensions you are not channeling light; you are working with Whole energy.

Don’t get me wrong, we all send out shit accidentally. I have had many friends accidentally send shit to me when they are in a low or difficult period when our insecurities are heightened. I am sure I have done it others. I always recall it when a comment was unjustified or just plain mean, or at least try to. Like I say, I am human not an angel.

Since we are all human, I ask all lightworkers to look again at their status. If you are only working with your light and not looked at your dark side, you need to turn your thoughts inward. Or not work at all. Or maybe that name doesn’t represent you the way you think it does?

If you are judging others based on the fact they are like to use their own moral compass, who do you think you are to do that? The fact is, that if any of you who care to study will understand, is that each of our realities revolves, literally around us. We are the centres of our own Universes and totally responsible for everything within that compass. So if you don’t trust your own moral compass enough to work with herbs, candles, crystals and the Earth’s energies, then you have a serious problem which needs addressing within YOU; this insecurity should not be projected against someone else based purely in their spiritual practices. Or do the words Lightworker and bigot sit nicely together for you? And many craft workers, are far more conscious and conscientious of their actions than you even are. And those that aren’t; well you are likely sat on different sides on the same table, eyeing eachother suspiciously.

So stop judging others by what methods they use. Stop turning your nose up at the moral compass of others. Start judging other people by their actions. Stop spilling the tripe energy workers have been taught by the ‘man’ to spit at eachother for generations. Stop persecuting other healers; in thought, in word and in action.

I would love to hear your own experiences, thoughts and thumbs up!

Love as always
