Welcome to Spiritual Safekeeping,
A short collection of thoughts and practices to assist with keeping your energy positive and protected for each day of the week.
In this Sunday edition,
We will explore strength.
Sundays are the day of the sun,
Which is one of the most vivid examples of strength there is.
In magic,
We recognize that the sun's energy is vital and powerful.
Our world is the right distance away from the sun's power.
Further away,
And we would be robbed of its life-giving rays.
Further in,
And we would be burned to death by them.
From this,
We are shown that life depends on the right amount of closeness and distance,
And we are called to be mindful of proximity in all things.
In examining our personal strength,
Maintaining the right distance becomes increasingly important.
For example,
There can be just as much strength in choosing silence as there is in speaking out.
Works of the mind are no less Herculean than physical labor.
In Wicca,
We call upon the power,
Which is often referred to solely as spells or magic in the vernacular.
The power is something we cultivate,
Refine,
And guard.
Choosing times when it is best not to use the power is anything but apathetic or lazy.
Quite often,
It is a marked display of strength.
When we pair knowledge and discernment with strength,
We enhance it greatly.
The ability to maintain constant awareness or proper distance with strength is worthy of your spiritual safekeeping.
The crow flies from me to thee to send the message,
Blessed Be.
