on the purpose and foundations of the craft
tomorrow witchcraft requires unflinching personal accountability that harnesses the magic of creative willpower fueled by the sense that if i don't, then who will?
it is a new designation within the family of witchcraft, born from a vision of modern magic tuned acutely to modern malaise—that vague feeling of general discomfort, uneasiness, and distrust that fuels systems of harm and oppression.
tomorrow witchcraft borrows wisdom from all and is beholden to none in service of this purpose.
a tomorrow witch is someone whose magic is channeled through an embodied practice of consciously living future ideals right now.
a tomorrow witch is summoned forth by an undeniable urge to live in alignment with their knowing, beyond explanation and expectation, faithfully following what their discernment makes irresistibly clear.
the tomorrow witch works in the present (i am, i do), resisting the siren's song of the future conditional (if/when, then i…). when faced with systemic dysfunction, the tomorrow witch responds with consistent acts of defiant integrity.
a tomorrow witch is revealed when their lived practice (embodiment) reflects their inner knowing (awareness). they are a creative forerunner and proof that better is possible, defining the foot path to a greater tomorrow by walking it every day.
in this practice, a witch is someone who cultivates deep connection to their inner knowing, knows what needs doing, believes they can, so they do. a witch does not wait for permission, understanding, or perfect conditions to embody their wisdom.
in their piece, Of Power and Will, Ra explores ~the magic in just doing stuff~...a must-read!
magic is active sensitivity (to the subtle and overt forces within being and doing) that moves energy in accordance with the practitioner's explicit intention.
shorthand for a version of the human experience that is centered in authentic and joyful expression of the fullness of life as a result of fearless awareness and conscious choices.
✶ better implies a state of increased individual fulfillment within collective thriving.
✶ tomorrow implies a cause > effect relationship where present action/inaction forms the direct premise of an imminent future state.
embodiment is choice activated in the material plane, through the body and in contact with other bodies (human, animal, plant, machine and otherwise). embodiment is best tuned in conversation with mind, heart, and spirit practices and is the potent ability to ground awareness in tangible choice.
the tomorrow witch knows that the destination is an illusion, sometimes helpful sometimes not, and that the real work is an infinitely unfolding process of becoming in the present moment.
the tomorrow witch focuses on building better options for what's next, not dismantling what is—an important and complementary role that nonetheless falls outside of the tomorrow witch charter. tomorrow witch energy only flows towards creation, not destruction. to this effect, a tomorrow witch's creative work is critical to avoid vacuums and prevent new forms of dysfunction from commandeering progress made.
the tomorrow witch lives by the wisdom of the trine cycle: once there is awareness, a choice must be made, and that choice transforms all that is, leading to new awareness. a tomorrow witch's magic is channeled through embodied alignment with the trine cycle.
the tomorrow witch practices within their own sphere unless explicitly invited into another's sphere. a tomorrow witch knows that every one must do their own work, in their own time, in their own way. this is a conscious act of returning the gift of process back to the individual. a tomorrow witch can guide and support but must never do another's work.
reality is a tapestry constantly being woven but can only be viewed through the myopic microscope of individual consciousness. all things are made of energy; energy forms the threads of the tapestry. all things are therefore connected in direct and subtle ways and all actions and inactions have ripple effects far beyond their knowable bounds, both backwards and forwards: pull a thread here, change the weaving everywhere. something something quantum physics.
a tomorrow witch, knowing this, takes unintended consequences seriously in their practice while simultaneously rejecting paralysis—working their threads with integrity, aiming at the highest good, while embracing the mystery of the unfolding.
the tomorrow witch understands the power of symbolism, viewing all religious traditions, cosmologies, and belief systems as human-channeled wisdom for understanding the mysteries of the weaving. as such, they use that which illuminates their practice and leave that which dims it, holding all lightly and with respect.
