POWER

By The Raven Witch

Power..... some know what this means, some think they know, some know but some times ignore the obvious. There is for instance, power in danger.

If you eat something that was a living thing, even a plant, the plant fears being eaten, but you honor its life force when you eat it, and it becomes a part of you, you have its life force,

and that is why you must honor what you eat, but it still had a fear, a fear that was turned to power.To not honor that, is to say, you don't want its power. Every thing is made of power,

but if you ignore that possibility, that knowledge is wasted and is of no use. When you hold a tree or sit with you back or head against it, it gives you great power. If you simply get up and walk away without honoring it, then you have again,

wasted that power. For every thing you ask of the Universe, and everything you take, you must replace with offering, for if you do not, you will find you can take no more. There is power in the wind, learn its song and its shifts, and feel its strength.

Be able to hold the wind within your senses, there is much power also in the wind. Every living thing and yes, of course that includes rocks, has power. If you can learn to use the power they offer,

it is a great feeling. You give a offering back to anything you take from or ask from, and even in that, there is power. There is power in the unknown.

I know, some people have said, "how can something unknown have power?". Its in all creation. We are limited as human beings. Most humans live in a tiny world where only their own perceptions are accepted as real.

They will kill for those perceptions. You must respect that which you can not see, for there is power there too, for if you wish to see things people say don't exists, then you must belive in the unknown.

It can be very hard to "own" your power. As you walk this path, you must have a foot in each world. You have to see with different eyes, except that which is not acceptable. You also let the bad things into your life when you give them power.

How do you give them power? By being a slave to them, or a person. Do you have a fear that rules you, or marks your decisions? Maybe a man or woman that is bad for you, but you cant seem to let go, for some fear,

maybe of being alone, or failing on your own. You give that bad thing power, you give it strength, and you also let that person or thing take your power. By letting someone or something, make you sad, mad, unhappy, etc ,etc ......

you have given that person or thing power over you. You should never let anything or anyone take your power. Your enemy.......

your enemy is imbalance. When you are out of balance, you don't see the world as it really is, and then in turn can not achieve your goals. When you are in a state of imbalance, you can not work well in dream time either,

how can you have a foot in both worlds, when you are not balanced? You can not. Find the power that is in everything, keep that power and stop letting other things or people take it,

and you will see your own power become stronger.
