This is a free site using witchcraft
as a way to begin exploring the vastness of the Great Unknown. Witchcraft is seen as a field encompassing magic, sorcery,
divination, occultism, ghosts, wicca, and so on...
The first and oldest mystery
school for witchcraft in America, it is still the most original. That's why you are first shown how this
field fits in with our ordinary world of entertainment (the muggles' world, in Harry Potter terms).
When you begin feeling at home with the Unknown as presented
to you by the fine arts in music or video, you may find yourself entering it. You may meditate while gazing at a candle even
while watching the videos that follow.
Imagine, briefly, that you are approaching a temple. Others
are standing about the temple gate, pounding on it. (You do not at this point believe there is a temple or any people--
it's all just a fantasy you can almost see vaguely in your mind in order to understand these instructions).
A zen master comes to the gate from the temple to
see what the ruckus is all about and tells all of you to go home. "You are not wanted here. We do not have anything to
teach you. We know nothing. Go now" and with that said, turns and walks back into the temple.
You and the others are furious after waiting for so long,
only to be told to leave, and begin throwing rocks at the temple gate, demanding entrance. The zen master returns to the gate
and still refuses to open it:
"Leave now. This is all a fantasy you have created in your
mind as you read writings by a school that has been dead for thirty years.
The temple you only imagined a moment
ago, has become a reality. You only realize what it is that you have, when you lose it ... after it is gone.
