As above, so also below

In our circles, we say, "As above, so also below." This statement comes from the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, in which the text originally reads, "Truth! Certainty! That in which there is no doubt! That which is above is from that which is below, and that which is below is from that which is above, working the miracles of one. As all things were from one."

I have always loved that part of our ritual, where we affirm our unity with all, where we affirm that we are the Universe, and the Universe is us. When I find visual representations of it, I am always amazed and excited to see more evidence of this ancient truth.

I weave the forces of nature. I speak to the spirits. I enchant the future and divine the unknown. I dance in the moonlight and sing to the stars. I am a witch.

thesilverspiral: @Sunfell @fraterfrabato I want some tech like they have in Portal. Open up holes to anywhere I want to go.

thesilverspiral: @TeoBishop Overactive brain can't wait for spring so I can go outside and play, perhaps? Not sure.

thesilverspiral: @TeoBishop I have been having night after night of intense, plot-thick dreams for about 2 weeks. Vivid stuff. It's kind of tiring me out!

thesilverspiral: http://t.co/ZLPqolvz Dogs on subways, cats on buses, tigers on ferries, and other clever animals figuring their way through human society.

thesilverspiral: @Blueflamemagick WHoa. That sounds like a good way to spend an afternoon!

thesilverspiral: @yesherabbit All Hail, Witch Queen Cottontail! :) Glad to find I'm not alone in this sentiment.

thesilverspiral: I feel better. Thank you, Twitter friends, for letting me rant a bit. :)

thesilverspiral: @EdwardStGrey23 LOL. Sometimes, "Slow down and let it sink in some" is the best answer to that.

thesilverspiral: @PPOFTC Exactly. Teaching new people how we do things gives me a chance to go over and revisit things I've taken for granted for years.

thesilverspiral: @PPOFTC How quickly we forget that we were all new once! I think some people just can't wait to become old farts, though.

thesilverspiral: @EdwardStGrey23 That's what I'm sayin. Being hateful doesn't do anything but turn people off.

thesilverspiral: @Cigfran_Lwyd I don't doubt it. Such mighty people, flexing their finger muscles so proudly on their keyboards!

thesilverspiral: @Sunfell Exactly, just don't forget how much fun it is to ride a broom anyhow.
