The Chimera

What is the oldest art we know? Painting? Writing? Singing?

It is sorcery, which accompanies us from the dawn of time; when the first man began to stand erect, connected to primordial nature. Before polluting himself and the world with wars, technology, politics.

Witchcraft is a wolf, which has followed us on our journey.
A hound walking in our shadow, watchful,lethal and vigilant.

I often hear critics about characters such as Aleister Crowley or Gerald Gardner because what they said is "not good", "is old-fashioned". Characters who, for better or for worse, overturned the status quo of tradition. These occultists are children of their time, during which that was the kind of sorcery that was needed.


I smile when I hear the pagan fundamentalists pointing their finger, when one does not follow to the letter a tradition as ancient as humanity itself. How can we pretend to judge, if we blindly accept dogmas imposed by others?

Magic is a chimera, changing shape and evolving with us.

Witchcraft is an instrument, and as such it must be used to obtain what we need.

Why making animal sacrifices in a Europe that can survive without the meat industry? Why faithfully following centuries-old traditions, of people once circumscribed in isolated territories?

The question that must be asked is always: "Why do you do this? What can I do better?".
These are the questions that our ancestors asked themselves, the questions that led them to discover the movement of the planets, electricity, penicillin and all those great inventions that have revolutionised the world. By simply wondering why things, going against tradition.

Sorcery is revolution.

Witchcraft does not look to the past, it looks to the future.
It is important to know who we are and where we come from, but we must look ahead: time flows, and us with it. And if we continue to walk backwards, we will end up with the nose straight against a wall!

Let us be revolutionary! Let us ask ourselves the why of things! Let us improve them, if we can.

But not with littleness and lightness, as we have often been taught by the New Age disciplines. But in depth. Breaking the rotting roots and growing new cuttings - strong and proud, pointing towards the stars.

Do not worry about being labeled as crazy, as heretics. The witch is a liminal, solitary being.

The ultimate limit of witchcraft is not to bend an unrequited love or a lottery win to one's pleasure. The ultimate limit of sorcery is to guard the key to the dimensional door, which unites the multiverse.

It is there, in the middle of the axis mundi where the dimensions collide and merge into the very fabric of cosmost, we reach the climax during the sabbath. The only limit is the lack of knowledge, the only thirst that drives us to improve ourselves and the world around us.
