Pieces of what being a witch means to me

Being resourceful. Coming up with clever solutions with what's around. Recognizing when a problem does not need to be solved immediately, and keeping a watchful eye to see if a solution presents itself on its own terms

More than telling or listening, having conversations. With people, with creatures, with the world (I see spells as a conversation!)

Forging my own path, But being receptive to learning from others' paths to aid that process

Refusing to accept things that are purely because they are, But not rejecting things simply because they are either

Experimentation! Trying things, lots of things, just to see what happens

Giving love to the darkness, the twisted horrors, the fear, to see what sort of love it might return.

Being independent and self-reliant, But not pushing away help from the world or the people around me when it's there and can make things better.
