Religious Control and the Subversion of Witchcraft: Liberation from Religious control

The process of moving away from Religious influence in spiritual practices is often described as a journey of self-exploration and personal empowerment.

Several approaches are commonly observed in this context:

  • Individuals may analyze their beliefs and practices, questioning their origins and alignment with personal values.
  • Sensuality is sometimes regarded as a sacred and powerful element, and is incorporated into magickal practices without association with shame or guilt.
  • Exploration of the so-called “dark” aspects of the self and the world, often referred to as shadow work, is considered important for integrating all facets of one’s being and realizing potential.
  • Practices such as meditation, divination, and dreamwork are used to develop intuition, with an emphasis on trusting inner guidance.
  • Rituals may include raw, untamed energy, and can be expressive, loud, or passionate.
  • Skepticism toward external authorities and the development of independent judgment are also emphasized within these paths.

These practices are often associated with the idea of reclaiming personal sovereignty and power.
