ITCHCRAFT is not something you have to believe in to make changes your life. Believing is something monotheistic religions invented to keep people from using their intellect and ‘sixth sense’. You have to believe in their non-sense, one of these believes is that witchcraft and magic(k) are bad. It is bad for their income and power-hunger to control the masses. In the days before christianity witchcraft and magic was the realm of healers, wise ones and those who acquired knowledge of cattle, farming, hunting, to lift curses of to cast them. People knew their way to the Wise, the Pellars, the wayside witches, the wizards, the druids and shamans.
Now Traditional has never been eradicated by all means, because, in the UK for example, in regions like Cornwall, Devon, Dartmoor, Exmoor, Wales, Scotland (mostly Celtic regions), Witches were and are always present, despite of christianity who wanted to eradicate magic folk. Also in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Romania, the Americas, folk magic and other forms of magic never died out, it was preserved.
You don’t need faith for it to work, it simply works, but you have to be cautious of the charlatans, who make use of superstitious believes. Nowadays I encounter a lot of fakers who want to earn money and take advantage of superstitions, they are the worst of all. It’s not, by any means, prohibited to ask money for services, as long as they really help, but saying “I sense something about you, do you want a reading?”. I usually say: “no, I can do my own readings”. If I need any, I can use a witch friend whom I trust.
All the bad religions ask for some kinda blind faith, we don’t, because, like I said before, I simply works.
N a few months I’m going to move. In preparation of that I’m taking inventory of my books. Now they are not sorted on subject, because my bookshelves are not optimized, so they are here and there, out and about. I’m going to buy real bookshelves, so I can sort them out. When I’m ready and all are sorted on subject, I will start making videos on my YouTube channel on the books I’ve read. The preparation will take a few months, but I will post regularly.
ALAN GWAV (Cornish for Halloween), for some just a dress up party, for the ones that kwiek the Craft a time where the veil that deprecates the worlds is at its thinnest. A time for travel, not to earthly realms but the other realms, a hedge-riders journey. Here we can meet Bucca Dhu at his darkest hour. It’s a time that religious people fear the most. For us it’s nothing to fear, a time to energized for our Craft. Little can we say, little there is to share. 
ROOT is what lies beneath wat’s is planted in the soil, from which a plant or tree grows. Concerning myself, after I left christianity in 2015 it took me two years of burnout and agony to come back to my hereditary magical roots. Christianity always tried to eradicate everything what clerical patriarchy considered ‘evil’, I already wrote about the Maleus Malificarum and its impact on society, but if it wasn’t for the Maleus Malificarum other means had been invented to repress magical folks. Now my grandfather knew a lot about the bible, and I also know a lot about the bible, Hebrew, theology, church history etc, which lead to my decision to leave all that behind. I dot find anything magical or useful in the christian viewpoints and theology, though the jewish ones are still powerful to me. 
Herbs, roots and food were the specialities of my grandfather and some of it I took with me when I returned to my roots, the more the side of the 
O many people, especially Wiccans, why Traditional Witchcraft isn’t really open to the outside world about the practices. No, for the most part that’s completely true, on the other hand there are a number of books on Traditional Witchcraft available now like 
NE of the most evil and controversial books ever written, by Heinrich Kramer 1) (or: Henricus Institoris) was a book that set off the official persecution of so-called “witches”. There were approximately 110,000 witch trials and about 60,000 “witches” killed 2). Heinrich Kramer was surely women hater pur sang and he presumed that every women, who wasn’t submitted to men, didn’t conform to church doctrine, had knowledge and some sort power beyond what was permitted (that is doing chores, cooking and caring for children), was a witch. What we know is that the majority of women, that were persecuted, were just christian women, seldom were they witches, because, surely after christianity took full control over every aspect of the lives and thoughts of individuals, we kept in the shadows, with the secrecy that was, and still is, an essential part of Traditional Witchcraft.
Let me give an example: Love spells! There is so much we can do ourself, like taking a bath (hahaha), dressing for the occasion, staying true to your true self and knowing if the one you desire is suitable or not, having consensus! Enchanting someone can be manipulation. Without any magical means can be magical in itself. Sometimes people want something that will be disappointing in the end. A beautiful woman or man can be a trap in the end and then you are disappointed? Witchcraft is the Craft of the Wise, not the ineptitude of the fool! So, part of the journey is being able to learn, in stead of stumbling in your stubbornness. I too still have to learn and when I know that I don’t know I will seek advise of the spirits, the ancestors, the divinities or a wise sister, but in traditional witchcraft you’ll never get a ‘one size fits all’ answer or a standard spell that can fix your hell. Sometimes you’ll get the advice to pick up the peaces yourself if you find the cause of your own failure. I don’t speak to the newbies to the craft, but to those that have the audacity to say that they are a know-it-all, did-it-all. It is a life long journey and the mayor part is being able to learn.
Let’s now turn to Wicca for a moment. Gerald Gardner travelled the world to seek out many magical traditions to gather information, to compare, to merge various Witchcraft and Magick traditions, among that Guna Guna, Voodoo/Hoodoo, ceremonial magick, Oreo Temple Orientis, Argentum Astrum (Crowley), Freemasonry and anything that he seemed fit to incorporate in to his new magical system, which he named Wicca. From the 1950’s his new religion became quite popular with many branches that came forth from. Now In Wicca the Wind Directions and the four elements are different: East: Air, North: Earth, West: Water, South: Fire. Let’s now compare that to Cornish Traditional Witchcraft:
As I have said, in Cornish Traditional Witchcraft, and other British and Celtic Traditions the elements are situated different. East: Fire, North: Wind, West: Water (the only similarity with Wicca), the South: Earth. As you can see there are animals associated with the elements, but it would take a bit to much time now to go into details about that. Another important difference is that in Wicca a circle is casted, this is done clockwise, but in Cornish Traditional Witchcraft ‘the compass is laid’ and is is done witheshins or ‘against the clock’. The workings are done according to the seasons and the eight high feasts, but also dependent on the workings. There is much practice and learning involved and it is not a hobby, but a way of life (but that is of course also the case with Wicca or any other tradition.
