Are you a new witch or thinking about becoming one? Today we are going to talk about some things we wish we knew before becoming a witch. 1. The power of intention. Wayne w Dyer said. "You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, and your intentions create your reality." Your intentions are the foundation of your reality so it's important to be clear about the desires you are projecting that you want to experience. When you understand and are aware of the power of intention you can begin creating the world that you desire to experience. If you are confused on how to set your intentions; it's a very simple process: state what you desire and act on it in any way you can. Remind yourself of your intention repeatedly; writing it down or creating a vision board are both powerful tools to help you constantly be reminded of your desires. Q. What past intentions are you currently living and how did you ensure its manifestation? 2. Nothing is good or bad I wish I would have understood that nothing is good and nothing is bad. Everything just is. When we make a judgment of something is when we put the label of good or bad, righteous or evil, Holy or unholy. All of these are just perceptions based on the life you live, the community you are a part of and what you have learned from family and friends. Q. Have you ever done something that was considered bad to someone but good to you or vice versa? 3. Words are spells Growing up I didn't realize the power behind my words and thoughts. Words are powerful and we have the ability to speak the reality we want. Not only do we have this ability, we practice it all the time. If you look around you can find evidence of things and situations you’ve spoken into existence. Having awareness of how powerful your words gives you the opportunity to speak life into your trust desires. Q. What have you spoken into existence before you understood the power of your words? 4. How you practice is personal Not every witch is the same and there is no correct way to practice witchcraft. The correct way is your way and anyone who tells you differently is taking away your power. Trust yourself, you have the answers within. There are many resources and people who are great mentors but even the greatest mentor will tell you the power is within you, trust yourself and move accordingly. Q. How do you practice your craft? 5. There are many types of witches 6. Trusting yourself Trusting yourself is the key to being a Witch. Trust is where your power comes from. There is a verse in the bible that says if you have the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains meaning if you have faith and trust in yourself you have the power to face any obstacle. Q. Do you fully trust yourself? Why or why not? 7. How to take back your own power The best way to take back your power is to trust yourself first and listen to your intuition. In life we give our power to so many people because we believe they are better than us in some way. This could be your parents, teachers, bosses, and friends. Q. How do you take back your power? 8. The secret to manifestation. Is there a secret to manifestation? A lot of people don't understand the process of manifestation but it's really simple. Faith+Works=Manifestation but there are some secrets that every practitioner uses that makes their manifestations happen faster. Sage and I will share a secret or 2 that we use when manifesting.

What is ascension? Ascension is simply a shift in consciousness. There are different levels of consciousness, but today we will discuss the 3d, 4d and 5d levels of consciousness. 3d- This physical plane that you are experiencing this podcast at right now. In the 3d you experience duality, all emotions. You are able to work through karmic debt and evolve your consciousness. The 3d is the place where lessons are learned and life is lived. 4d- isnt talked about much; as it is the transitioning dimension. It is where out of body experiences happen such as astral projection, remote viewing, lucid dreaming, and shifting takes place.

The Modern Witch Academy Patreon www.sage-sol.com In the Book, the 4 agreements by don Miguel Ruiz, the 3rd agreements Focuses on not making assumptions. We make assumptions about everything, why people do what they do, why people say what they say and even how other people feel. But what gives us the right to think that we know everything? There’s an old saying that goes when you assume you make an “ass out of you and me” and I didn’t really understand that saying as a child. It was never explained to me that immune means to explain without proof. I thought people said that because of the way you spell assume. Assuming can cause so many unnecessary issues. But assuming isn’t always a negative thing. We assume for protection. For example, if you know that most mushrooms you know about that are poisonous have black gills, if you come across a mushroom you're unsure of but you see that it has black gills, its safe to assume its poisonous. Or if you are driving and notice the car in front of you is swerving, is safe to assume they are under the influence or sleepy based on your past experience, you can use the knowledge to avoid being near them. Assuming for protection is smart but assuming for control, to fill in the blanks in your story, or to place blame is harmful, can ruin relations, and is the cause of so much suffering.

Shout out to our first patron Jose. Your support is so appreciated! The power behind being a witch is being aware of your power and the magic that is created with your thoughts and words. Do you recognize that you have the ability to manifest with just the words you speak? In todays lesson you will get a deep understanding of how powerful the words you use truly are and how to be more aware when it comes to what you speak over others and yourself! "The word is the most powerful tool you have as a human: it is the tool of magic. But like a sword with 2 edges, your word can create the most beautiful dream or your word can destroy everything around you" This is quote from the book, the four agreements by don miguel ruiz For todays Podcast we will probably be refencing that book a few times as it was the inspiration for this podcast. James 3:3-6 NLT The tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself. This is pretty much saying your words dictate your ability to live in hell or heaven just by your words. It is said that Hell is separation from God, when you reject yourself, you separate from the god that is within you which causes you to experience suffering leading you deeper and deeper into your personal hell. What part of yourself do you reject? You can also speak life into people! This comes in the form of motivation, encouragement, kindness, compliments. And a lot of time you can cancel a curse and replace it with a blessing. Challenge of the week, be aware of the blessings and curses you speak over those you love. When you see yourself about to speak a curse, stop. If you've realized you spoke a curse, apologies and replace it with a blessing.

www.sage-sol.com The power behind being a witch is knowing yourself and being aware of your power and the connection with All there is. Do you know who you are? Not who you pretend to be when people are watching, but who you really are when you're all alone! Today's lesson is about embracing your true authentic self and awakening your inner child! What is shadow work? As we have discussed in previous podcasts, shadow work is the process of uncovering those hidden parts of you. The parts that you might be ashamed of, the parts of you that you think others may not accept, and even the parts that you forgot were within you! We are like an onion with layers and layers of our identity and it's important to embrace all of you! So as we begin, I ask that you surrender to the experience, surround yourself with compassion and love, and get ready for this journey within yourself! This is a judgment-free zone, and that includes judging yourself! “You’ll never know who you are unless you shed who you pretend to be.” ― Vironika Tugaleva Your authentic self is your true self, the self that is free of limitations, free of social norms holds. It is the side of you that is joyful and happy, wild and free. Being true to who you are takes courage because it can cause fear to go against the norm. Being your authentic self causes you to stand out instead of fit in. We are people who crave and strive in social setting and because of that, we fear judgment or abandonment. So let's start by meeting your true authentic self. Start by asking yourself, "what brings me joy? For some people their most joy and happiness they experienced was as a child, if that’s the case with you, dive deeper and ask yourself what about that experience made you so happy? Who was around? Where were you at? All of these questions will help you become aware of yourself a little deeper. Fully embracing your authentic self is a process, it's not a race but a marathon that begins with one step at a time. Start small, I'm going to give you 10 practices you can incorporate into your everyday life: Awaken your inner child Part of getting to know your authentic self is to awaken your inner child. Everyone has an inner child, some people's inner child is hidden due to trauma, but it's within and yarning for love, acknowledgment, and fun! It's about returning to a playful state! Life is meant to be enjoyed! “Everything seemed possible when I looked through the eyes of a child. And every once in a while; I remember, I still have the chance to be that wild.” ― Nikki Rowe Get out and Explore the world, your neighborhood, your state, anything to break you away from the hustle and bustle of adult life.

They cook with intention and stir up more than tasty meals and delicious treats. Their meals are filled with medicinal and magical ingredients. Their magical tools are their pots, pans, utensils and anything else that will aid them in creating alchemy with their meals. In their practice, they use food as their main source of magick. Each meal is infused with purpose, created with care, love and gratitude. They usually know a lot about herbs and other foods, such as vegetables, grains, fruits, and meats. The Eclectic Witch is usually practiced by a Solitary Witch. Their beliefs and practices are personal and unique to them. An Eclectic Witch does not follow a single path of witchcraft, but incorporates many different beliefs and practices into their craft. Many new witches consider themselves to be Eclectic Witches.

what is toxic positivity- a mental state where we only show and experience positive emotions or reacting to others issues with just positivity. Set unreal expectations that we must be happy all the time. When positivity is used to cover up our emotions instead of experiencing them we cause more internal issues! Toxic positive is: Unhelpful Can be Dangerous for one's mental health Dismissive Rude Forces people to keep silent about their struggles. Cause us to live in denial by not acknowledging emotions Examples of Toxic Positivity- be grateful for what you have, look on the bright side, everything happens for a reason, good vibes only, just think positive, it could be worse, this too shall pass, happiness is a choice. This is not helpful and encouraging, it is more invalidating of someone's feelings, possibly isolating, dismissive, and hurtful. Most people who say these things mean well and often don’t know how to confront and deal with their own painful emotions therefore masking them. Signs of toxic positivity Hiding your true feelingsFeeling guilty for feeling what you feelMinimizing other people’s experiences positivityShaming others for expressing anothing other than being positive What to Do Instead- Have compassion, give support, and validate feelings and emotionsDid you know that 1 in 4 people suffer from a mental illness. Understand that emotions are not good or bad. They are tools to help us understand yourself more! Use empathy by putting aside your own viewpoint and see things from the other person's perspective. Validating affirmations Instead of: Just stay positive; say I know that can be hard to experience, I’m here for you if you need me. If i can do it so can you; say I understand that everyone's abilities are different, if you need help, you can call on me! It could be worse; I’m sorry this is something you're experiencing. Create space for someone to speak their truth. Accept balance Accepting balance- allow yourself and others to feel what they are experiencing. The power of positivity There is power is being positive and in gratitude but it's important to have the awareness to know when it is beneficial and helpful as well as wanted.

www.sage-sol.com “Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.” ― Terence McKenna What are psychedelics? Psychedelics are plants or chemical substance whose that has the power to create out of the ordinary states of consciousness. Which people call a trip! A few examples are LSD, psilocybin (shrooms), DMT, and even THC (marijuana) Laws regarding psychedlics With Denver Co becoming the first state to decriminalize psilocybin in May 2019. Then a month later Oakland followed their example and shortly after we arrive here where just a few weeks ago Oregon becomes the first state to not only decriminalize psilocybin and also legalize it for therapeutic use. In the District of Columbia, voters elected to decriminalize the use of magic mushrooms and other psychedelic substances with the passage of Initiative 81 Right to try act *The use, sale, and possession of psilocybin in the United States, despite state laws, is illegal under federal law. The people are sending a clear message saying that restrictions on recreational drug use show be more relaxed. Benefits of psychedelics -improve mood -able to look t things from a different perspective -aid in depression treatment -aids to stop substance use disorders, including alcohol and cocaine addiction 2016 study, researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine found that a one-time, single-dose treatment of psilocybin, a compound found in psychedelic mushrooms, combined with psychotherapy, appears to be associated with significant improvements in emotional and existential distress in people with cancer.

Visit our blog HERE! www.sage-sol.com There are many studies and research done on the power of gratitude and the outcomes prove the benefits such as: Professor Martin Seligman, originator of the “Three Good Things” exercise, from the University of Pennsylvania, encourages people to come up with three positive experiences, situations or things that took place that day, and after two to three weeks, people were able to recognize a great deal of improvement in their overall happiness.
