Unexpected side effects of pandemic life:

For the first time in my adult life since abandoning witchcraft I feel tempted to engage again. I’m not doing anything I’m just noticing the feeling. I think it’s a desire to assert control over the situation because I feel powerless.

I’m not sharing to get reassurance honestly I’ve got a good read on the things that tempt me. I’m stepping back and noticing it. Many folks are likely having intense spiritual *stuff* come up right now.

For me it’s an intense need to control things. It’s trust. Who do I trust more? Do I need to control this?

This is why the occult is so addicting and why so many powerful people are deeply entrenched in it. They feel in control. They have contempt for everyone who abandons control to a higher power. I know this feeling well.
