Witches get a bad rap. Wicked natures, warts, and scary cult-like followers in weird and wonderful clothing. It’s not like that. Your normal-seeming neighbor could be a witch as she lovingly stirs good vibes into the dinner on the stove and sprays an essential oil mist onto folded linen to smell fresh and lovely on her children’s beds.
A spell, essentially, is you plus other ingredients. All life could be considered a spell, either well-crafted or poorly put together. Intentions are the main ingredient.
Do you have clear and specific goals? Do you add the ingredients needed for manifestation? Do, do, and do some more?
Radical leaders are seen as those who speak up early, speak out when others are quiet, challenge the status quo, and don’t give up easily when people try to quash their words or actions.
We all hear about environmental greenies who tie themselves to trees or bulldozers. Women in the early days of women’s liberation helped us all get the vote in western societies.
Why do people need a radical or rebellious start for change? Because we lack leadership.
If we take more responsibility for any aspect of life and speak up, or live right and be the way we believe we should, are we radical?
Perhaps we’re seen as a tall poppy. But should it be viewed that way? I don’t believe so.
Many are better at going with the majority, blending in, or, at least, not speaking out to keep the peace and there are times for that when it's right.
Radical healers are needed now. Where are the people who know what heals? Who are the naturopaths, the herbalists, and others who can tell us what boosts our immune system safely to prevent illness during this pandemic? I want to hear them shouting from the rooftops.
Do they risk losing their license? Like the doctor who lost his license for using medical cannabis to heal severely affected children with epilepsy.
We owe so much to the sacrifice he made, as his (now clinically proven) healing paved the way for many in Australia. It is finally legal to be prescribed medical cannabis now.
Vitamin D has been in the news, and Vitamin C and others such as Zinc are all good supplements to give your body an immunity boost.
The essential oil Oregano is a potent and powerful natural antibiotic and more. It's readily available in capsules at your friendly health food store and online.
RELIV Defense is a new product recently launched in Australia and New Zealand (as well as the US) to help us humans.
Sprays of essential oils such as eucalyptus or Ayers & Co natural sanitizer, which kills bacteria on surfaces for 24 hours, are available for purchase.
Where are the radical health experts who could shout out this information for others to access? One doesn’t have to claim it's a cure or prevention for all that is Covid-19, but these products can be a great support to our system and situations right now.
I am sharing this information that I have heard of because not everyone can get vaccinated, and alternative and complementary support is vital. I am not an anti-vaxxer. I have had both shots. But more needs to happen, more needs to be said.
Health messages, please! Let's start a revolution in quiet and wise ways.
Have we become so controlled by rules and regulations that the natural herbal remedies and good health and hygiene habits have largely been forgotten?
Fresh fruit and greens, a healthy diet with a balance of some protein, combined with exercise and some human connection. It’s not rocket science to look into some good healthy foods and habits to boost wellness.
Take some vitamins as well, if you need to. Do all that you can do. Sure, many people have health conditions, and there is no simple solution. That's understandable, but for many of us, there are ways we can move into better protection.
Radical leaders and wise ones have their own stories to share as well. Wise one Caryl on her website Charms of Flight writes:
“Pyrite is a powerful protection stone which shields and protects against all forms of negative vibrations and/or energy, working on the physical, etheric, and emotional levels. ...
“It can be used in the treatment of bones and in the healing of cell formation. It treats lung disorders and bronchitis and has been used to reduce swelling and fevers. Pyrite aids in the treatment of infectious disease, whilst also providing protection from the disease for the caregivers”.
I have pyrite in my home, I never knew it had so many purported powers!
Smokey quartz is another common crystal traditionally used for protection.
Julie Nelson, a modern-day white witch, has started a new Rich Witch Magick Facebook Group, www.facebook.com/groups/richwitchmagick/, which launches publicly on 2nd August 2021.
Julie says her members provide energy healing for the planet with the most recent invocation of a powerful Goddess from history called upon to heal and protect.
Often answers are so simple they don’t make a big noise, and we miss hearing them. People's prayers are often quietly done at home and go unnoticed by others.
In general, we don’t feel inspired to change unless things are really bad. Unfortunately, that seems to be the way of human nature.
We need change now! We need radical change for a healthier way to live if we are going to have to keep living with Covid-19 for some time.
Someone may have a cure or prevention. Let's not be shy about sharing what tried and tested things we already know. It's not all about making money, or politics. Share for information’s sake, and for goodness’ sake.
Getting online is a great way to get the information out there, and online businesses are in a boom. But there are traps for the newcomer.
The rah rah internet marketers get noticed. They get business and often make masses of money from aspiring individuals.
People with a flashy, luxury look, claiming to be money-makers, mentor others in monetizing, when they may not really have done it themselves. These appeal to our shallower natures; we are sucked in by good looks and the shiny new thing.
These businesses are the ‘bad’ side of the online world, as are straight-out scams. On the good side, there is an amazing amount of opportunity and many simple solutions that work effectively.
Call me old-fashioned or slow, I don’t know, but I don’t build big email lists or flood Facebook with flashy advertising. I work steadily, writing, helping, doing copywriting, ghostwriting, and content for those in authentic businesses.
My passion is helping those in spirituality, witchery, healing as well as entrepreneurs improving the world for others. Those in coaching, wellness, and more.
If you want a hand with your business to power it up purposefully with the purest heartfelt help, feel welcome to contact me. I would love to lift your visibility, add some creative crack and join you in shooting for the stars.
Let’s make some radical shifts and wise up. Rise up and be the true you. Share your helping, healing, or wise ways. The world is waiting for you to share your uniqueness. It needs you to speak up. Now.
The fine print
Results are not typical. I cannot guarantee your success, which in business is dependent on consistent effort and skill. Individual results may vary. The level of your success and the results you achieve in health or business will be subject to a number of wide-ranging factors, which include (but are not limited to) your background, your education and skill level, your experience, your effort as well as other factors. I ask that you weigh up and give due consideration to the opportunities and the risks involved before taking up what's offered from my writing or other services. Consult a medical practitioner such as your doctor before changing medications, supplements, and support.
Yours, Serena
