No Turning Back

No Turning Back

Once you have chosen to take upon yourself the

obligations of the practice of Witchcraft, then the effects,

or the immanence, of this way of life will be bestowed 

on you from aligned intelligences, and so will the 

tests that accompany them.

Anyone who willingly opens themselves to powers

beyond the veil of manifestation (as we understand it)

opens themselves to the possibility of inner initiation. Witches

know that they are witches, but initiation is 

what seals that knowledge through the power of ritual 

and the intent inherent within the process itself, to a deeper

strata of recognition and response both within oneself and

from the powers to which we are oathed.

Once initiation has occurred, there is no turning back - you

will quest all your life; it is not a thing to do thoughtlessly.

I stumbled upon this while on my quest to read up on what I am going to pursue. It is something for people to keep in mind.

There is no turning back in anything you do regardless of whether it is religion, work, school - it is all things encompassing life. Time will tick on, life will go on.

Once you open the door, and walk through, you cannot turn back. You can choose to walk down different paths, to make different choices but the experiences and knowledge gained will not be forgotten and becomes a part of your life and what makes you who you are.

"... and when you know the magic believes in you,

how can you not?"
