I know what you mean with higher magic reads being complicated. I opened one of crowley's books and it was all alchemical symbols and equation that confused me. I think branching away from wicca is good but i also agree that it doesn't bode well to embrace darkness; to me it sounds pretty morbid. However I don't go around saying Blessed Be and Merry Meet to people any more. Just trying to be myself rather than conforming to how people think a witch should be :)
true though, i am afraid of my future and i have such a painful past that i feel like i can't move forward.... sometimes it is hard to see the truth when you feel chronic pain...
I personally believe that having our expectations set too high can lead to depression and trying to have too much "stuff", which requires too much ambition and hours of work can lead to depression too. You are right that it can often be a result from too much inward thought..."me me me".
I don't remember you mentioning it but mild depression can come from diet, environment and routine. A change of pace can be useful. If you did am sorry I didn't catch it. Am sorry if you aren't organizated but don't trust the pup to be your assistant. It could end badly. ;)

Thank you for posting this video i have been angery and depressed when i was abought 20 but now i teach others what i went through in my life and come out of it . Bless you and love your little dog he she has somthing to say lol
Anger is good if it is focused in a positive way for motivation, we should not feel guilt for this, depression is a loss of feeling of control or fear/oppression which must be eliminated, we have to fight and not roll over for what is important, the media programs us to be repressed along with major religions, the ego must not be destroyed it must be controlled and allow the shadow to express itself in a positive way or you are just suppressing and will come out ugly.
I never thought about it like that. There's times when i feel a little depressed and just really blue, but looking back now those days were days I was very selfish, locked up in my room while my family tried to get by but I was just "Poor me, poor me" thinking of my lack of love or money or what-have-you. Thank you for widening my horizons again, you're amazing. <3
From my experience deeper depression is a spiritual issue usually caused by suppressed trauma/hurt/pain/fear that must first be acknowledged in order to then combat the depression. Depression is a negative coping mechanism of silence that internalizes negative emotions causing physical and mental symptoms. In other words, depression isn't the thing, what caused it is. So medication should NEVER be a long-term solution.. just long enough to be able to function to unearth the truth.
We who are prone to depression, anger/rage, anxiety, etc. have to learn to release our anger/rage and not get so wrapped in the emotions and FOCUS on what we CAN do and not magnify a situation with what ifs/ unrealized expectations that only hinder our progress.
But when the depression is really bad just remember to take one step at a time, brush your teeth, take a shower/bath, comb your hair, wash the dishes, etc. Cry if you need to but also laugh your ass off! It does help. :-)
By the time you do this, the depression, anger/rage should have lessened a bit for you to then continue to process/correct your emotions. For whatever is left, go to a place where you can just scream and I mean let it all out! Hit a punching bag, sofa pillow, whatever.. transfer the energy that has welled up within you to the external realm. Emotions need to be balanced via training just like an athlete trains their physical body.
About depression and anger/rage... you have to practice to simply ask yourself "What is really happening right now?". Speak aloud what really occurred or is occurring to cause the emotional response. For instance, in the example that you gave, take a few secs, accept the negative change that occurred, accept that you couldn't control it, and think of the next steps you need to take - i.e. going to get a broom and dustpan, making sure you have on shoes, locating a paper bag, etc...
Embracing dark nature is part of life, but can be addictive. It can be fun, but leads you toward a negative path, which is not a good way. Hedonism and self interest can only lead you so much. I enjoy your videos and but no way pointing a finger in anyway to you or your beliefs. Love and Light!
Miss Midnight, I believe that alot of people who suffer from depression is due to people's ego. However, as someone who has depression that runs in the family... i..e brother, mother, aunt, cousin, and mother-in-law, it not always written in stone. I DEEPLY respect Buddism, and Wicca, but there are some things that are biological and can be explained by science.
the girl i work with says that,one thing goes wrong and my whole day is ruined,i try to tell her,hold on a minute,rethink the whole thing out,no need to blow up i ,love your videos,keep them coming so interesting,have a great day
