The Manifestation Witch

Burn down that witch

Fear and anxiety do not let you make the right decisions; they cloud you, preventing you from seeing that everything has a solution, and if you don't get overwhelmed, it will work for you.

I look at Adal with a smile. — What is a witch to you?

—Hum—, he replies and remains silent.

—What do you think a witch does? — I rephrase the question.

—How does one do? Is that what you mean? — he says, trying to understand.

— Do you imagine pointy hats and invocations to the devil? — Clearer than that, I can't put it.

Thoughtfully, he looks at me and, suddenly exhaling through his nose, throws the kitchen towel over his shoulder and tells me — honestly, I don't know.

— Among your preconceived ideas, that is, what history, television, and cinema planted in your head, do you see them as a good or bad character?

He sees to the table and answers me — bad, except for Sabrina, the teenage witch.

I roll my eyes and give a half-smile to his sweet millennial comment.

—When you meet someone new, but a family member or friend has already warned you about this person, do you wait to form your opinion, or have you already condemned it? And without embarrassment, please be sincere when answering.

— It depends on who the person is warning me. If they are close, yes, I take their opinion into account. — He says with conviction.

— Aha! but it was judgmental. — Adal is about to justify it, and I raise my hands to show that he should wait.

— From childhood, the conditioning process begins, which then transforms into our belief system. They teach us to differentiate between good and evil. The normal is the most repeated among us. Studying is important. After that, focus on your career, start a family, and stay away from drugs. You were taught all of this. - While I explain; he doesn't interrupt me once, so I continue.

—Since the dawn of time, witches have been portrayed as creatures with a pointed nose, engaging in harmful activities and conversing with the devil.

This is what he laughs at.

—Despite the value of these teachings in maintaining social order, they stifle intellectual curiosity and encourage unquestioning obedience. Adal, now I ask you: Do you dare to be open-minded and try to look differently at a story that has already been told a billion times?

— If it's from your lips, of course I am.

I can't deny that I loved that answer. Without losing the focus of the conversation or taking my eyes off him, I continue my questioning.

Ok Adal, let's dig a little deeper. — If you don't understand something in its entirety and feel threatened, would you seek to destroy it out of fear?

—No, Ghanima, I couldn't burn you at the stake. If that's what you're asking me.

I respond with humor. — Good to know. — Adal shakes his head from side to side, causing him to laugh at my answer. With my next question, I will try to go to the basics.

—What do you think energy is? —. He frowns and touches his lips.

—Energy is the force behind the functionality of things. — points it out as the fact that it is.

— Exactly. Adal is power! And isn't magic a power? — Despite his brilliant answer, he looks overwhelmed. — And how does all this relate to you? — He asks me, but I know he's already connecting the dots in his head.
