As the heat is applied, all things come to the surface. As I dip my consciousness into the community out here, I see much turmoil. Resentments, grudges, offenses all are being spoken of, often in angry tones.
“Cancel this, shun that…”
“We should all unfollow this person because XYZ…”
While this is a place people can vent frustrations, let’s ask ourselves about the core issues that ignite such animosity.
Let’s also recognize that newcomers to magick and the occult may see the drama and think it is representative of the whole. At times I feel it can be a dumpster-fire sh*t-show circus, and at other times, a place of knowledge, collaboration and healing for many.
The idea of “community” on the LHP may at times feel mythical and elusive, as by nature, people generally do their own things.
If you are upset at times with certain people or situations, ask yourself how it truly impacts your life--- in meaningful ways or not… decide if you will allow it to have any power in your life…
I have had my share of haters and trolls come at me with nasty things to say at times…spinning narratives made of their own ego and bu****it. Yet like spider-silk it dissipates in the grand scheme of life and magick.
There may be a few people I have clashed with in the past, yet I can still respect the fact they are magicians having their own experiences. Does that not deserve at least some respect? People can agree to disagree about other people’s actions or philosophies, and refrain from bashing others.
Some people here are like the elephant at the circus, bound only by a small chain around it’s ankle…that could snap it in an instant, yet because of their own traumas are weary and believe the chains bigger than they are. This is not to say that one’s pain is not valid or that things don’t sometimes get to you, yet at the end of the day, what we are doing as magicians is SO much more important than engaging in school-yard tussles.
Instead of allowing bullies and trolls to get to you, cultivate and nurture your own Kingship/Queenship mentalities. When you are more deeply in touch with your own power, you are not as concerned with the curses, words and actions of others…. We stand in power, unique, and have many spiritual allies on top of that. What do you actually have to fear? Not a damn thing.
Instead of trying to mitigate what people may do, decide instead to embrace it fully, because energy is energy, regardless of source. As people wish you ill-will, sh*t-talking or working against you, know that between your own energy and that of the spirits, the energies are caught up in your auric structure, to fortify it. Curses coming at you become food that strengthens you. See it as such and it is so.
The energies meant to demean, harass, intimidate or otherwise harm you are purified by your shift in mentality, and by the spirits themselves. Instead of trolls and haters, you have people leaving energetic offerings at your feet. Use it to your advantage. This is the ultimate “f**k around and find out”.
Curses come at you and instead of outrage, you can say “wow thank you for the neat gift!” You can also have the last laugh, because they have effectively made you their god, their idol. They are so focused on you, they forget themselves. They weaken their own understanding as you rise in power and strength.
The dross will burn and melt away, and what is left is refinement in the community if we shift our own understanding of it; approach and engage differently.
You are all badass magicians…. Act like it. Embrace it. KNOW it. Looking forward and not back, lean in to your sovereign selves… let it heal you.
