The difference between Witchcraft the law of attraction can be defined by this Quote:
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”
Witchcraft and the law of attraction are quite similar. In fact, the law of attraction stems from Witchcraft. Witchcraft was the first of many variations regarding manifestation techniques. After many years of discrimination, public acts of antagonism, displays of contempt, death threats and straight up killings, which is got clever and decided to change things up. We no longer were known as the pointy hat wearing, broom riding, cauldron using women we were once before.
Just like that with all of that hate and discrimination gave birth to what we now know as new age practices or what some call “the secret” or “The law of attraction”
Us witches were the OG manifestation gurus. The first ones to believe that an alternate reality was possible and actually created before our very own eyes and once this realization was made we started to do the same for others around us and at some point or another somebody came along and decided oh no this is too much power for one group, it must be evil!
I have to stop myself there with this conversation because I can continue going on and on and on complaining about all of these people who have put witches down for everything that they’ve done. If you look around it is the very reason why so many people have accomplished so much of what they have to this day. Not only that it has been the root of all spiritual practices around the world and we barely get any recognition for it.
If you do a deep dive on Google you’ll find that witchcraft became more popular during the Salem witch trials, we won’t get into detail about that here but basically that’s where the main stream version of witchcraft came about in the United States. All of the stem from the witch trials that went on in Europe from the 14th to the 18th century.
Pop culture would have you believe that witchcraft is the villain in every story. It’s always the same, a witch or warlock (male witch” is somehow the evil culprit behind soulmates being split apart or people falling ill unexpectedly. Don’t get me wrong I love watching the vampire diaries but it’s just not reality. I will say though However Bonnie Bennett is a kick ass witch.
( Although black magic does exists, it is not the reason for every bad thing that happens in everyone’s life. )
The time has come to set the record straight, the difference between these two practices are minuscule and major all at once.
Where the law of attraction practices using vibrational energy from the mind body and spirit to attract love, money or happiness in some aspects of life. Although in more recent years we have seen the use of vision boards or dream boxes. The practice of law of attraction is just one aspect The art of manifestation of one’s dreams coming to life.
Witchcraft is able to do all the same, witchcraft also uses energy from within the mind body and spirit to help attract and call upon energy that matches what you desire. With witchcraft we are also able to pull in energy vibrations from outside sources to manifest even quicker results whilst clearing out old negativity or negative energy and helping you heal from past trauma along with receiving insight and intervention from spirit and divine energy.
With witchcraft we also use tools or Materials such as healing crystals( natural or organically sourced), essential oil, Ocean or river water, herbs, roots, botanicals, plants, celestial events, spiritual vibration energy, candles, incense and the Moon cycle As sources of energy and power.
Tools can vary from daggers and altar cloths to Chalices and cauldrons, vases, chords and rope. Some of these things can even be found in your very own kitchen. All of which have a purpose and all of which are subject to preference.
Each Witch has her own way of going about her still work. What I love to tell people is that if you have ever done anything that has even resembled a ritual, you are a practicing Witch yourself! I’m sure there is that one thing that everyone does in their daily routine that just feels right when they do it that certain way. I am also positive that all the days were that certain “Thing“ hasn’t been accomplished, the day is just not the same. That is a ritual, Rituals are spells that we knowingly and unknowingly cast.
You just need to know which ones serve you and which ones do not. I am a practicing white-magic witch. I always work with the flow of energy, positivity & all things good and light in this universe. My goal and intention every single day is to help change someone’s life for the better in anyway I can. Never to harm and never to hurt anyone!
I truly believe that every other spiritual practice has come from a long line of witchcraft.
Reiki healing, reiki therapy, chakra balancing, wellness center, meditation, spiritual awakening, chakra alignment, spiritual cleansing, spiritual manifestation, mediumship, psychic readers, tarot, Palm reading, tea leaf reading, spiritual guidance, shamans, gurus and spiritual practitioners of all cultures stems from some sort of Witchcraft.
Next time you hear Esther hicks talk about the law of attraction just picture a little witch hat on top of her head! 😂
