The submitted question covered in this blog: "...Isn't it necromancy?" Thank you to whom submitted this question as there are many misconceptions about the practices of necromancy, and what it actually means. Many movies and fictional novels have portrayed "bring back the dead" as a literal corps crawling out of it's grave... this is very far from reality. Many are influenced to be fearful of the practices that involve necromancy due to the many misunderstandings and mistruths that have spread over time. When people think of the dead, they often associate with ghosts, gouls, or other maleficent beings. It is my opinion that these misconceptions are what have lead to some practices being labeled as "Dark Arts". Whereas this line of thinking has caused fear of the topic itself. When death occurs, it is difficult to accept that our loved ones will never return to us after they've passed away. But, the reality is, in fact, that the dead can not be risen. There is no 'bringing back to life', once deceased. Magick can not break the boundaries of physics. We carry energies with us in our memories. The spirit of someone represents the impression on which they have had on those around them. This impression memory allows us to recall the feeling of someone's presence, remember the sound of their voice, knowing what they would be saying to us in the moment if they could, etc. How we associate the impressions of a moment with the spirit of a loved one is how to gain insight and realizations within ourselves. This is often an important part of a witches practice, especially if taught generational teachings passed down as ancestors were alive. Or, if taught from a coven which the elders have passed on. Alters can be set up in honour of the spirit of a loved one which offerings of kind gestures may be placed as a form of showing respect and reverence. It's important to cherish and honour the memories of our ancestors and close friends who have died. It reminds ourselves of the impact in which they may have had on our lives and how their spirit may continue to guide us as we live on in honour of their memory. Even though they may no longer be with us we may still live as example to their teachings and knowledge shared. Necromancy is most often referencing this sort of communication with a spirit of the dead, rather than focusing on returning the dead to the living, as often imagined. It is essentially another way of describing the process of what's more commonly known now-a-days as Psychic Mediumship. More about that was mentioned in this previous blog entry: https://www.askagreywitch.com/post/demystifying-mediumship Demystifying Mediumship. As well as discussed in this previous live broadcast: https://www.askagreywitch.com/post/can-you-be-a-psychic-medium on the Witches of Eastview Channel.

The submitted question covered in this blog: "What is the power of witchcraft? and how can this be achieved?" Thank you for this question. It is very much appreciated as there are many misconceptions around the source of power within witchcraft related traditions. As mentioned in this previous blog entry: https://www.askagreywitch.com/post/how-i-became-a-witch about How I became a witch, many believe that witchcraft is powered by some external force often mis-conceptualized as the devil or some evil entity. When, in fact, it's the opposite. My impression is that Witchcraft is powered by ourselves, an internal force that is within the witch. And, is actually within everyone, even non witches! As mentioned in this popular previous blog entry: https://www.askagreywitch.com/post/catholic-witches about Catholic Witches, many non witchcraft related traditions are very similar, if not the same, as to many pagan and Wiccan rituals and traditions. It should be mentioned that witchcraft is a diverse and very personal practice with many interpretations. the source of power is often a matter of personal belief and experience. There are many witches that believe they are influenced by the energies of the natural world such as the moon, sun, elements and plants. Some witches believe they are influenced by the energies of their ancestors, spirits or deities. Where as in my belief and perspective is that a witch's power comes from their own inner strength, focus, and determination. Many witches also believe in a combination of these sources. In my opinion, the power of witchcraft is pure intention. What we truly intend for ourselves and in our lives is often the focus in most spell workings. Even in terms of the spell work in itself, sometimes done as repetitive ritual, can empower the intention within the spell caster. This mindset, often subconscious, can assist us in achieving our goals and desires. For example. associations and symbolisms to the spell's goal begin to stand out in the mind of the spell caster leading to opportunities which on the conscious level appear to present themselves. The more satisfying the workings of the spell, the more likely manifestation. The more confident in achieving the outcome to the spell's goal the more likely one will notice and take advantage of the opportunities around them leading to that success. This is true across all witchcraft traditions and practices. As a secular witch, myself, in conversation with other witches of more traditional Wiccan paths, I am very much able to discuss magick on a common ground even though our perspectives are very different from each other's. Even though we all may look at witchcraft differently, the experience and success is achieved in very similar ways. That, for me, is confirmation that everyone and anyone can do it. I would go further to suggest that many people actually do it naturally without even realising it! This previous blog entry: https://www.askagreywitch.com/post/workings-vs-spells workings vs spells, may be helpful in providing more examples and explanation of intention setting. This topic is related to a previous blog entry: https://www.askagreywitch.com/post/is-the-spell-even-working titled, "Is the spell even working?" may also be helpful. Thank you for visiting AskaGreyWitch.com and for reading my blog! Please don't hesitate to submit your own questions. Blessed be.

Submitted question covered in this blog: "Is it a conflict to be a wiccan and a humanist at the same time?" This very open question is welcome and very much appriciated. Thank you to whom submitted it after reading my previous blog entry: https://www.askagreywitch.com/post/secular-wicca Secular Wicca. Being both Wiccan and Humanist may seem like an interesting combination, it is indeed possible without much conflict. Here is my view on both belief structures: Wicca: Wicca emphasizes reverence for nature, the cycles of the seasons, and the worship of various deities. Traditionally, Wiccans are polytheists, meaning they believe in and invoke numerous gods and goddesses. (For me, deities are representations of the aspects of our own human nature. This makes me a secular practitioner.) Wicca places great importance on the natural world, celebrating the changing seasons, moon phases, and the elements (earth, air, fire, water). Wiccans often perform rituals, cast spells, and work with energies of themselves and their surroundings. Humanism: Humanism is a secular worldview that focuses on reason, ethics, and compassion without reliance on supernatural beliefs. Humanists generally are atheists, agnostics, pantheists, or polytheists. The emphasis is on individual exploration and personal beliefs of one's self. Humanism places humans at the center of ethical considerations, emphasizing human rights, social justice, and critical thinking. Unlike traditional religions, humanism does not have an official doctrine. It encourages individuals to find their own spiritual path. In my personal practice, I blended elements of both belief systems. While I very much appreciate Wiccan rituals, symbolism, and reverence for nature I also embracing humanist values. Being both Wiccan and Humanist was a personal choice of my own while I explored practices from both traditions and create a unique spiritual path that resonated with myself. More about my own personal perspective is written here: https://www.askagreywitch.com/humanist-wicca-what-it-means-to-me about what Humanist Wicca means to me. Both Wicca and Humanism each include many diverse perspectives. There are many different kinds of Wiccans, and there are many different kinds of Humanists. It is my beleif that, one day, science will be able to explain intuition, manifestation, and magick. Or even consciousness. My incorporation of humanist principles into my Wiccan practice has even inspired some humanists that I've met. I am accepted as an active and involved member of Humanist Canada. One can certainly explore and integrate aspects of Wicca into many other belief systems, including Humanism. This previous blog entry is a good example: https://www.askagreywitch.com/post/catholic-witches Catholic Witches. However, it’s always essential to follow your own spiritual journey with what resonates with you, yourself while respecting your own beliefs as well as those of all others. It is in hopes that his has been clearly explained. Please do not hesitate to reach out at AskaGreyWitch.com/contact if there are any more questions.

The intention is to provide an example of one practice as a reference or starting point for those who may have questions or are looking for suggestions or new ideas when setting up their own unique practice. As a Humanist Wiccan I share from many perspectives. Some would say that I'm not really a witch if I'm not relying on the supernatural. With a fundamental belief that each and every human being is capable of envisioning, intuition, expression, and intention leading to achieving goals from what is expressed through actions (the basic definition of magick), I disagree. We are all capable of manifesting our desires. Thanks for visiting my blog! Questions are always welcome!.
