Working Alone or With a
Group?
Witchcraft groups or covens are not cults!
They do not tout for members, seduce or compel. Witches are mostly
laidback and ethical people. This could have something to do with the
fact that they have to live down so much bad press. Despite the fact
that witches celebrate sexuality and that many rituals are conducted sky
clad (naked), these are far from orgies! The truth is that many of us
are in stable relationships and abide by the usual fidelity and loyalty
that is valued in our culture.
However, there will always be some groups
that will seek the unwary, young and inexperienced, to gratify their own
egos and sexual desires. If you are thinking of joining a group you need
to be aware that there are groups like this. Anyone who appears to be on
an ego trip or over lecherous should be given a wide birth. This is for
you own safety, even if you think you can look after yourself, you still
need to be cautious. A true teacher will always seek to empower you not
overpower you!
I work alone due to the fact that I have
found it difficult to find others of like minds. But I have found that
working alone gives me the freedom to practice as I wish rather than
have to practice as everyone else does. The only downside to this is not
having anyone available to help if you need it. If you do need help
there are people and organizations on the internet that are willing to
help. Just remember we are never truly alone!
Blessed Be
