What is a medicine bag used for ?

A medicine bag is a bag that has items that are sacred or have especial meaning to you spiritually or have some kind of healing relevance to you from along your journeys. It may have items such as crystal, herbs, feathers, bones, rocks or anything else that has meaning to you.

Your medicine bag may be something you wish to carry with you at all times, like a protection amulet or just feels right to keep it with you because you call upon the item within it often. You can keep your pouch on a string around your neck or even keep it another back you keep with you such as a back pack or even keep in your pocket or tied to your wrist.

If  you do not wish to keep your medicine bag on you then you want to keep it in a special or sacred space such as your alter or on a shelf that you keep your spiritual tools , or even near the place you feel most comfortable doing prayer or carrying out rituals.

There are no rules to having, making, or carrying a medicine bag. It is always about what feels right to you and you experience, what has significance to you, and what your intention of having or carrying a medicine bag is.

There are different reasons someone would have one of these bags. They may be some type of healer and the tools they wish to use are kept within it and carried for convenience. Some one may have had many experiences that have taught them big lessons and showed them their true strength and they have items in which are a reminder as to their strength when they are in challenging times. This is a form of medicine. Again there are no right or wrong reasons to have a medicine bag.

Only remember to respect and give gratitude to your items and the pouch in which you carry them, cause if they are significant enough to be considered or used as medicine, then they should be appreciated, for sharing that gift with you.

#Do you understand what a witch is ?

The true definition of a witch is simply a wise-woman. A wise woman is someone who has a deeper understanding of life and how it works. They also utilize the powers of the universe, understanding the misuse of these powers will create negative karma unto themselves. Witches know that the universe is a creation of love, that love is the everything and that so many souls are desperately trying to reconnect with.

Being a witch is not all about spells and magic potions, although the use of these are utilized as it is the given right to all souls who temporarily live here on Mother Earth. Mother Earth provides us with magic everyday and witches honor this in every moment. The herbs she grows in perfection are there to use to heal ourselves and strengthen our thought forms into creation. The air we breath has the power to carry our most prominent thoughts to spirit for them to manifest and a wise woman would use this to help her manifest.

A witch or wise-woman knows how to bring all that Mother Earth has to offer together and manifest what it is they are creating, whether health, love, happiness, abundance or a stronger connection to spirit. Their understanding of how these things work teaches them about true respect for other humans. This allows them to use their God given right to create magic without hurting or causing pain to any other soul, as this would not be the true essence of what magic is.

To use magic is to respect all spirit, all souls and all rights given to humans and life forms. When one uses magic through a combination of herbs or oils and word affirmations, it is no different than sipping on a peppermint and ginger tea and thinking to yourself how you want to restore health. Using the herbs provided by Mother Earth in combination with positive thoughts and feelings, while watching for the signs to take action when the opportunity presents, is an example of what magic is.

Almost all witches are loving healers with a powerful connection to spirit and would never do harm. There is a general rule or agreement that you are to cause harm to no one. This implies any use of magic is done out of love therefore any magic practiced is for the betterment of someone or something. Anyone can practice magic, actually many do without even realizing they are using the very techniques witches use.

If you feel any negativity towards magic, do your own homework and you might find yourself seeing magic in a different light than before. You might even find yourself being called to practice it as many souls have been a witch in a past life and forgotten their connection to it until that is, they re-spark what has always been there, through reading and research. If you are intrigued by this subject don't be surprised if you confirm your interest by seeing the witch in you !
