C is for ....... Competition!

I know what you're thinking.... competition that's not very magickal or Spiritual - but hang with me for a moment...

I was going to blog about Carnelian or Cerridwen or any number of other things but I was reading something in Kitchen Witch forum http://www.kitchenwitchhearth.com/ and it got me thinking about competition...

Hands up.... how many of us know those perfect Witches..... the ones that know EXACTLY the right herb, the right crystal, the right moon sign ............. I'm really lucky 'cos I know several :-)    but we all know at least one.......... and how many times have we 'upped our game' to try to imitate or be like them.???? C'mon be honest........

Competition is healthy it's good for you and it can lead to the most amazing discussions and A-HA's as you pool your knowledge with these 'perfect' witches .... but when competition turns to jealousy, envy and pettiness then that's not healthy!!

We can only walk our Path's, we can't walk anyone else's and they can't walk ours, so maybe your PW (i'm a lazy typist....) can name all the herbs in her garden, whilst you can only name a dandelion.... or he can tell you a crystal piece from 25 paces and you struggle with moonstone and quartz, does it really matter??

I'm 100% certain that there are area's in your Spiritual / Magickal life that they aren't perfect in, but you take those for granted as they come easily and naturally .... maybe they are Champions at crystals but they can't tell a tarot card from a playing card. Perhaps they can tell you the difference between belladonna and basil but they can't tell a Rune from a Rubik's cube..............

So, whilst some competition is good and natural - it's when we neglect our own intuition, our own gifts to try to compete with our PW's that's when the problems occur.... for how can you tell if you have a gift for Runes if you spend 100% of time trying to read the cards and getting vexed and stressed because  your PW is a Tarot guru and to them it's effortless but for you it's like swimming upstream for mating season???

Never doubt for one moment that you do not have talents or are not as gifted as the next Witch along ...... you are Perfect but ............in a different way!!!


love and blessings to all
