Hi. What do you do when you have problems with your faith? Like I consider myself a sorta logical person and it’s like I can’t break down those walls of “this makes no scientific sense” to enjoy and practice witchcraft. I believe magic is real, I pray to gods and goddesses, and I make the occasional sigil, but I feel as if I’m going through the motions and that my faith isn’t strong. There’s that nagging voice in my head that magic isn’t real. How do I deal with this?

Faith, just like everything in life, is in a constant fluctuation.  There are days that I feel so in touch and in tune with my path, practice, and craft…and then there are other days when it is the last thing on my mind.  And faith, like everything in life, is tested by what we know to be true.

Magic and fact can marry one another easily.  It takes time to understand this concept.  When we are children, we are constantly told that magic is real…and then when we grow up, that very notion is ripped from us and replaced with, “Get your head out of the clouds!  You need to be an adult!”  But that is the mistake that adults make too easily: magic is real and we have to find it even in the littlest things throughout the daily rush of life.

Find things that you love and hold onto them, incorporate them into your practice.  Let their energy rush through you like a breaking wave.  Let it spread through every limb and blood vessel, and revel in it.  That is real magic; life is the magic.

Being a witch is not about who has the best aesthetic or who has the most crystals or who writes the most posts about witchery…it is about living life with purpose and intention, and finding the magic in even the most minute details.
