Witchy Basics
When things are tough, break it down into smaller, more manageable parts. Instead of worrying about the month ahead, focus on the week ahead, or the day ahead, or the hour ahead. Being mindful of your present helps create success.
Ethics and Responsibilities I am not here to tell you which ethics system to subscribe to. What I will tell you is that most do have certain aspects in common—most importantly, the concept of treating others how you yourself would like to be treated. Some pathways promise a punishment to what you send out, others do not. Some say your punishment will be worse than what you send out. Some say your punishment will come in your next life. Some consider it consequences, and the idea of punishment is unheard of. Whatever path you walk, whether it is structured or your own personal eclectic mix, you will have your own set of ethics and responsibilities you subscribe to. Whatever you believe, remember, it is your belief. It is what you have chosen to affirm as your truth. Know what it is you are willing to stand by. Responsibilities are often overlooked while rights are celebrated. Do not forget about the responsibilities of your path, no matter what your path is. Following the ethical and responsibility guidelines of your individual pathway is part of where your spiritual power comes from. Think about it: if you say you believe in something but don’t walk the walk, your credibility goes down. 21
