The Aligned

Most humans are unaware of the energies around them; energies that flow through them and make up every fibre of their being. We are all one, or rather an iteration of the same life force. Subsequently, what we believe we are now is only a physical representation of what we actually are. In actual fact, our human existence is within itself an iteration of our higher selves.

There is a collective of energies, spirits or minds that exist as one that I and many other awakened minds call the universal consciousness. What it is, or rather what we are, is a collection of energies of all living things that once existed in a physical form, or currently exist in some form, physical or a higher state of being.

Though many people are disconnected from the universal consciousness, as such, they do not know their higher and true selves. People lose the connection to the universal consciousness when they are born due to their upbringing. The bustle of the modern world creates many distractions and closes people's minds to the natural world around them.

There are, however, people who remain aligned to the universal consciousness and the energies that flow around them. We have been called by different names over the years in different languages; most notably the term "witch". We are not evil as television has inaccurately portrayed over the years; some shows have shown the good of what we are in a more fantastical type way.

All of us use some form of cast or spell; there are many different types of us and we each channel energies and use our craft in different ways. That does not mean that it has no validity because there is not always consistency among us aligned.

Words are meaningless, as are rituals and casts, or anything that we wish to manifest into being when they are empty. All that matters is will and intent. Without the will, and the absolute belief in what you are, and what you seek to will into being with real intent, then it simply will not hold any power, and ultimately will have no effect.

It's also important to note that people need to be able to listen and trust themselves and what information they are receiving from the universe; every person is guided in some way, and all people receive messages to help them when they need to be helped. Not everybody can hear or understand what those messages are, as so many are disconnected.

Without understanding that we are one with the elements people will never understand their true selves.

What is fire?

What is water?

What is air?

What is earth?

Fire is part of the cycle of life; it is creation and destruction. Fire is energy; like the sun, it radiates and gives heat that enables life to flourish. It can also destroy and transition matter to another state through burning; it is the great equaliser.

It is something that is a part of all of us and must be respected; we must understand the nature of ourselves and the nature of fire to see that we too can create, and we too can destroy; at some level, we are the same, we are life and death.

Water is a great purifier, it can cleanse us when we need to be refreshed; either internally or externally. When water is stagnant, it becomes toxic and can harm us, much in the same way we can be harmed when we have a concentration of fluids within our own bodies that are not flowing through us naturally with an exchange of fluids, such as drinking fresh water.

Humans are made up mostly of water, without water our bodies would not function correctly, and we would die. Water can also create oxygen, which also helps maintain our bodies; without water, there would be no life, as water also gives life to the trees and plants that give us oxygen.

We are water, and water is what we are. It's a representation of the flow, the direction of life that flows in some form for an infinity. Think about what happens to the water when it leaves our bodies once our physical selves are returned to the earth? It becomes a part of something else and continues to flow in some type of liquid form.

Air flows all around us, it's what enables us to breathe. It also carries energies that can invigorate us, or, harm us. Air connects us to nature, the plants and the trees, as we are simpatico. We breathe in the oxygen the trees create, and they breathe in the CO2 our bodies create and exhale outwards.

It also has a spiritual element, a medium or state where energies can flow and be carried to other places. When we connect with the air and breathe in as we listen, we can feel those energies flow through us, and we feel refreshed and calmer because of that. When we listen, I mean really listen, we can feel the spiritual energies around us and connect with them.

The Earth and all living things are bound together. We are the earth and the earth is us. We came from the earth when we were born, and we will return to it when we die. All of what the earth has created is exchanged and transitions into energy that in turn creates new life. Subsequently, when the physical life form dies, life continues inside that physical form in some way, as what remains, is then returned to the earth to become a part of something else.

But, we have to think on another level. There is another element that flows through all of the elements; it's the energy of the universe that animates all matter to enable life. Everything is a part of that, our higher selves are an iteration of that, therefore, we too as do other energies, in some way or form, flow through everything that exists.

Therefore, the four elements are a representation of life, without the combination or unity of these elements there would be no life.

Such as, fire, water and air without the earth is meaningless as there is no grounding and nothing to bind to, or to grow from; there is no base for life to be harboured from.

The same could be said for any of the other elements that, if they did not exist life could not form.

Water, earth and air without fire would also be meaningless, as there would be nothing to animate it, no energy to provide the basis for life to start.

Earth, air and fire without water, there would be no flow, life would become stagnant, toxic, and eventually die.

Fire, earth and water without air or oxygen could be possible, but complex lifeforms could not form, and there would be no flow through the air, meaning life would always exist in some form, but would always be the same, there would be no continuation, except through destruction and a transition to another state.

Hopefully, now, those reading have gained an understanding of what being aligned actually means, or maybe you are already aligned and have understood the meaning anyway.

It's important to understand why many of us aligned don't use the term "witch" or "witches"; some of us do as a reference point, but, ultimately we transcend the negative stigma often associated with it.

Ultimately, within the witch community, there are people who are not actually aligned and use the term witch or psychic to deceive people to obtain some type of financial gain; though some of them might also be partially aligned; some type of trauma has left them in a position where they feel they have to pretend they can hear when they don't know how to listen as they don't know themselves.

We aligned are so much more than the term "witch", we are empaths, psychics, channelers, healers, and so much more!

Please note that I don't support Wicca, not at all. They have some type of intent, but so many don't really understand exactly what it is that they are trying to be. Many of us aligned stem from Pagan roots; Druid or Norse ancestry with a connection to nature with a greater understanding of the elements. We listened, so we could survive in this world and that's why after thousands of years and many different generations of our lines that we exist today.

It ultimately does not matter what country we are in now, or what religion or cultures we were or are a part of, as we are everywhere; when we find ourselves as we get older we always transcend any of the false and man-made religions that are put there to enslave mankind to them; we are, and will always be free beings aligned with the universe and all living things.

Before I finish this post, I want to highlight the new aligned that are not from the Norse or Druid lines; those who awakened at some point during history and have found themselves or are still discovering who and what they are.

I know some of you are lost, some of you may have even found this post and could be seeking direction. It's not easy when you don't know or understand what you are feeling and picking up around you. But, always remember to stay true to what you are, believe in yourself and have confidence when you put out a cast; have real will and intent when you do; never put out a negative cast without understanding the consequences, and avoid self-gain where possible.

I learned that trying to heal yourself, trying to stop the weather for your own benefit, trying to protect yourself will not work as it's not in alignment with the universe; it does not respect the balance at all.

Instead, you have to send out a wider cast to heal yourself and others in need, and bring positive energies and healing to them as well. People who need help are calling for it in the world right now, there are many people and yet not all of them are aligned, they are still praying to their man-made gods, but it's us aligned that ultimately help them as we connect to the universal consciousness and the energies that flow around us to help them (We don't really know them, and so few of us can actually connect with them, but they are there, as they are people, and people always need something).

You can apply similar casts for weather spells, though they are different. If you need to control the weather ideally you need more aligned to do this as it drains your energies trying to will something that big into being. You can only change the weather on a small scale and locally with your energies alone, but, you have to think about the weather you are trying to control.

For example: If you need to stop the rain, be aware that rain is life. Remember the elements, how water flows, how it enables life to continue and for plants and trees to grow as we do. In order to temporarily move the rain away from you, you need to send it to the farmer's fields to bring new life and to send it to those who need the rain that you do not. This cast will make you feel tired, so you should ideally make time to meditate and realign yourself. It may also depend on what type of aligned you are; I am an empath, my elements are fire and water (life, destruction and flow).

Protection comes naturally for me, as does guidance and enabling others to help themselves and find their direction in life; I can also locate things, places and people, as well as feel the good and bad energies of those who have passed away. Therefore, they do not take a toll on me, like trying to control air and water (I believe that elemental aligned are more suited for this).

When you cast a protection spell, the only time you cast for yourself is when you are in danger. Ultimately, when you have the need for general protection, always think of the power of 3 and the 3 circles of protection. You need to ground yourself usually, as you channel the energies inwards and then visualise a shield of energy forming around yourself, then visualise a shield of energy forming around your family, and then the same for your home.

This has always worked for me, and ultimately the bad spiritual energies don't enter into my home. Neutral and annoying spiritual energies do sometimes come by randomly; I can't tell you why they do, I feel it's deliberate to play with you for fun, something they like to do? In my experience I usually ignore them and pretend they are not there until they go away, they don't like the light, so put one on if you were asleep and were awoken by one.

If you have to give out a negative cast, it can't be death or love. Both of those always have a return.

Love is a selfish drive to get somebody to love you, or you to love them. Therefore, it's negative and that return is usually a triangle that has many repercussions.

Death is most certainly a negative, never wish that upon anybody unless there is no other choice, such as when your life is ending due to what somebody has done to you; if you give out death, the same will be returned to you. Some dark aligned ultimately bind themselves to another person through a physical object and send out these casts; usually, that means the binded person dies instead.

Thanks for reading.
