Witches cannot move things with their minds.
Witches cannot conjure fireballs in their hands.
Witches cannot teleport, or time travel, or resurrect, or levitate, or anything else that you’ve seen on Charmed, Sabrina, or AHS Coven.
That is television. It is not real.

I don’t understand what the point of this post is if not to just shit on other people and their beliefs. What skin is it off your nose what someone else believes? 

It’s not to shit on anything, it’s to explain to new and young witches, who often come to the craft with expectations of fictional and fantastical powers, that those powers are not real and that those expectations will never be met.

And while we’re staying in lanes, how about you stay in yours?

Who are you to be explaining what beliefs are legitimate or not to anyone? 

I’ll repeat what I’ve already said:

Belief in something that cannot be proven or disproven (i.e. the existence of gods) is an act of faith which I fully support.

Belief in something that has been categorically disproven and is impossible due to the laws of physics is an act of stupidity.

Once again, I cannot believe that I am having to defend a statement that superpowers aren’t real. Seriously?

Maybe someone can fireball with their mind? But is camera shy. Or something else fun like that.
Maybe
MAYBE

Or maybe Maybe MAYBE they just aren’t real.
Seriously?

it’s hilarious to think @cunningcelt that the category of “belief” people put in about witchcraft are FICTIONAL, yes FICTIONAL TV SHOWS. really?!!!! has the craft come to that?!!!!! I am dissapointed! I

If throwing fireballs and
levitating is the aim of your practice, then
ok. I have no right to say you are crazy. It is your practice. Enjoy yourself and I pray to the Gods you do not dissapoint yourself.

But seriously there is much more depth to the practice of witchcraft than these mere feats of physics. You are missing a whole lot more of
spiritual growth and self transformation.
To be honest, It is my opinion that throwing fireballs and sparks from your fingers do nothing for my spirituality but merely feed the petty human ego. It is what I wish to
transcend from in this practice

I hope you people wake up into the reality that the beliefs you need to put your faith in are not what you see on television because they look “cool” and “awesome”. because to be honest they are cool and awesome indeed. who wouldn’t want to do that?! I would…. but that’s my ego petty self and I’m not delusional.

Have faith in the witches and magicians who have lived in the past, and are living in the present reality. People who are living their practice and passed their traditions through word of mouth and books. People who want to make you see in the dark, not with superhuman eyes, but with eyes wide open to the truth that all life is not sparkles and fairydust, that it is filled with pain, darkness and sorrow. People who wish to make you see, not through walls, but through the veil of the spirit.

People who want to make you fly, not literally like a bird, but fly towards the goal of elevating yourself towards becoming a better person and transcending your own intrapersonal limitations.

People who wantto make you set fire, not with fireballs, but with your inner fire, that inspires others and drives you to achieving your goals. (and by goals I mean, tangible realistic goals)

Sorry people, but I am with cunningcelt and nexas-the-sorcerer here.
Bash all you want, it is only you who will dissapoint yourself.

I would add that, in the same way that fish dreamt of someday taking flight and later did, by evolving into flying fish and even birds, we must aspire to transcend human limits. You can’t achieve the incredible until you attempt the impossible.

“Shinto is nothing new, and yet, because of its belief in the endless power of renewal, it is ever new. It is old but ever new. It is primordial. Before man set pen to paper, or rationalized doctrines or formulated scientific principles, people of old had intuitive insights that were probably as basically true as the proven truths of modern science. They caught the spirit of the cosmos”
— “Kami no Michi” by  Guji Yukitaka Yamamoto
(via floating-bridge-of-heaven)

We should not mimic the old masters, but rather seek what the masters sought!

ABOUT “CABAL FANG: COMPLETE STUDY COURSE FROM QUERENT TO ELDER”…

“Fully illustrated and truly complete, Cabal Fang Martial Arts: Complete Study Course from Querent to Elder contains everything you need to start learning the world’s most innovative and transformative martial art. Over 100,000 words and 300 pages of never-before-seen martial arts training information. Six books in one! The functional training drills alone — over 100 of them! — are worth the price of admission.

Inside this incredible volume you’ll find Book I: Origin, History, and General Training Guidelines (covering fitness, flexibility and more), Book II: Soma (External Training, including the physical training techniques of Cabal Fang, self-defense, grip strength, body hardening, pain management, etc.), Book III: Pneuma (internal, spiritual training, the Hermetic secrets of Cabal Fang, contemplation, meditation, and pathworking exercises), Book IV: Psyche (philosophy and mindset training), Book V: The Fraternal Path (group training guidelines) and Book VI: The Hermit Path (solo training guidelines).

Open the covers of this remarkable manual and step into the spaces between traditional martial arts and combat sports, Eastern philosophy and Western mysticism. See how Cabal Fang is at once a modern self defense method, a strenuous fitness regimen, a spiritual framework drawing upon the Western esoteric tradition, and a diagram for maximizing human potential.

A seamless blend of the ancient and the modern, the physical and the internal, Cabal Fang is at once a child of the past and the martial art of a new millennium. For all fitness and experience levels — but not the faint of heart.

Cabal Fang is “full context martial arts” — a modern temple mart for a new age.”

“It has been said that Cabal Fang is one of the most challenging martial arts on the planet.  If that’s true, and I think it is, it’s because we have so much to learn and so much to do. You see, the cosmos is under construction, it’s nowhere near finished, and skilled artisans are in short supply. Even if you believe in a higher power, just remember that neither God nor Goddess, daemon nor angel, has hands with which to build.  

For that, they need you.” ~The First Elder
