Identity Crisis: Part 2

I recently read a text by a good friend. It made me start thinking about what Witchcraft means to me, what it meant before. The truth is that I never wanted to be an influencer of sorts, and somewhere along the way I started becoming one, or trying to be one.

These months have been useful to reconnect with myself, with al part of who I am. Far from being done, I feel closer than I was before. I'm starting to feel like myself once again. And it's uncomfortable, but also exciting.

This friend wrote that a witch is "a person empowered by folkloric practices to enact change in the world," which made me ask myself "what's the change you want to see in the world, as Kyler?"

I immediately thought about bisexuality, fairy tales, and toxic masculinity. I want to devote more time to those, more energy, but not so much quantity. Quality has always been my priority, as it should be in all cases, and I realized I've focused more on quantity.

If there is something that I'm proud of, is my Alder King series. I didn't write that in the blink of an eye, in a single day, or on a whim. I didn't write those entries because anything else than wanting to. I felt empowered by that piece of folklore, something I want to go back to; a few weeks ago I was in a witchcraft store and asked about an alder wand.

Maybe it was the Alder King, maybe it was something else, but at the moment, right there right then, there was something different. Something... much better, otherworldly. It was a sense of belonging to something much bigger, better. That's what I wanted my Craft to feel like from the beginning, and I lost it at some point.

I'm slowly recovering it day by day, but I still need time to get back into that. Turns out that unlearning and relearning are not so easy to accomplish, but oh well, I'll do it.
