13 Goals of a Witch

Know yourself
-what type of person you are, and want to be. Hold fast to that knowledge, don't let others try and change you to be what they want.

Know your Craft
-Study. Know what you're doing when it comes time to perform spells and rituals. If not, you may have anywhere from a spell that didn't work, to a "Oh Shit!" moment where you really fucked up. And have to get help correcting your mistake.

Learn and Grow
-Not only learn and grow as a Witch, but as a human being, as well.

Apply Knowledge with Wisdom
-As with many things, your wisdom influences you when you impliment what you have learned.

Acheive Balance
-As with Nature, you want to have balance in you life. Magickal and mundane. Don't put so much focus on one thing, that you overlook others.

Keep Your Words in Good Order
-Think before you speak. Words have power, especially with Witchcraft. Saying negative things, can have as much(if not more) effect, as physically doing something.

Keep Your Thoughts in Good Order
-This goes along with the previous. In fact, this should go either before, or added with keeping your words in good order.

Celebrate Life
-Be thankful that you are alive, and celebrate it. Not just your life, but life of people, and nature itself. Birthdays and Sabbats are times we do this. Also, at time of death, you can celebrate the life someone lived.

Attune With the Cycles of the Earth
- The rituals we do during Sabbats are one way to do this. However, if you look back in history, and even now, at farmers and what they do in preparation for each season, you can see that in a way they are in tune with the cycles.

Breathe and Eat Correctly
-This is something that helps with your physical health. And when you keep yourself in good health, your magickal workings are likely to turn out the way you wanted.

Exercise the Body
-This goes with the previous. Exercising the body helps you feel good. And when you feel good, you are able to do ritual workings.

Meditate
-This is good for your mental health. It also helps you with getting a deeper understanding of, and connection with, the natural and spiritual world.

Honor the Goddess and God
-The rituals we do, the way we live, are ways we can do this. Whether you have a particular Goddess, and or God, you follow/woship, or not; you still want to honor them. They are the reason we are alive. Influence things in, and around us. Like with your parents, you want to show your appreciation of them.
