Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Teachers of Magick
As a youngster, We were given copies of the Readers Digest. In this publication there was always an article about someone the author admired and why.
I think it was a way of telling us that there still were hero’s in the world, everyday hero’s.
And, there still are.
I’ve been involved with Magick for decades, mostly healing. I feel the ‘need’ in a person, but I never do anything without permission.
I’m not sure that you’d call it hands on, because I rarely touch the ones I treat. It’s rather a running of my hands over their body, searching for ‘heat’.
I was a girl, 1966 or 1967, employed as a nurses aide. I was caring for an elderly lady of color. She was a lovely woman and showed me how to heal.
She told me to hold my hands above her knee, looking for a ‘hot spot’. When I felt an increased warmth, I was to (figuratively) gather it up in my fist, turn to the west and throw it away where the sun sets.
I was amazed and frightened that it worked and didn’t try it again for a long time. But sometimes the need became too much to fight. And so, my compulsion became a means of healing.
I still think of her fondly. I wish I remembered her name, because, to me she was a hero.
Thank you for helping me remember this wonderful woman.
Blessed Be.
