No matter where we live, we seek out the nature of our area and spend time connecting with it. These qualities also strengthen our power of observation. Because we take the time to connect with nature, we see a lot more of it than most people do. We notice a new spider web on a bush outside our home or a new birds nest, and even smaller things like the cocoon of a butterfly, a ladybug on a leaf, and the way the dew on grass catches the morning sun. The more time we spend in nature, the more we see, and the stronger our connection to Her grows.
Witches also take on the task of getting in touch with themselves.
Both the light and dark aspects of us as beings are vital to explore. Part of being a Witch is trying to become the best person you can be. This is not possible unless one has the courage to journey within and understand themselves. This can be a very difficult journey, and we all have personal obstacles to overcome, but the benefits of learning who you really are, and working to overcome personal demons far out weighs the pain involved in doing so. We are all a part of Mother Earth, and to understand Her and our connection to all life, we must understand the mysteries of ourselves as well.
