Introduction to Mack
Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2021 6:25 am
Greetings! Just wanted to give a quick introduction. You can call me Mack (a pseudonym). A little about me:
I’m a 44 year old married father and this past year has been quite eye opening for me. Over twenty years ago, when I was in college and the internet was just starting to blossom, I became fascinated with Wicca and witchcraft. Every opportunity I could find, I’d run to the library or nearby Barnes and noble and read everything I could find, or I’d scour the internet for as much information as I could gather in my free time. This interest faded from me and soon after college I met the woman who became my wife. We have lived a regular, churchgoing life and my kids and step kids have been raised in a mainstream Christian way of life.
Two things happened along the way. One was this pandemic took place, forcing my company to work from home. Without the constant scrutiny of work, I started wandering the internet again, sort of rediscovering Wicca and learning all about it all over again. I became very immersed in reading as much as I could about it, but very secretly since this would be very upsetting to my wife. As we started partially working from the office again, and in an effort not to freak out my wife, I abandoned my fascination with witchcraft.
Mind you, in all these years, Wicca has strictly been a fascination. I never actually “did” anything. I came tantalizingly close but ultimately out of fear I never went through with anything beyond knowledge gathering. No spells, no circle casting (I wanted to try this so bad in college!), no incantations.
The other thing was in a roundabout way, my cousin came out to me that she is a witch. She’s been working with crystals and tarot for several years but it’s only in the past few months that she’s gone deeper and embraced Wicca, as this is what she calls herself now. This has caused me to “relapse” and I am once again mesmerized by this belief system. We have messaged back and forth, me mostly blowing up her inbox, and I’ve become very interested in dabbling with magick again. I have been looking for the perfect spell to begin spellwork and I recently performed a relaxation bath spell with epsom salt and shower gel. I’m looking forward to the next full moon, this weekend, and have been researching rituals in preparation for Imbolc. I was thinking of doing a little candle spell to honor my new venture into Wicca. This is proving to be exceedingly difficult to do in secret so that my household doesn’t know. But I’m hoping that with the help of my cousin and boards like this one, I’ll be able to explore this fascination and possible calling.
