me: *lays down in my bed*

“Belief and blind faith are for sheep. Witches don’t need them. Instead, we have tangible experiences to back up our own practices and cosmology. We don’t need to believe in shapeshifting – we do it. We don’t need to believe in gods and spirits – we talk to them regularly. We don’t need to believe in an underworld and afterlife – we travel there. Magic is like the wind. You can’t see it, but you can see what it touches and it is very powerful. A warm wind can melt away the snow and cold and bring in spring in just a few days or a harsh wind over the ocean can destroy hundreds of years of civilization with just one hurricane. Magic is the tangible unseen. You don’t harness it or control it, you are made from it, for magic is the very fibre of your being.”
