Personal Philosophies

[Elspode]

In Wicca, we strive for balance, the end result of what we usually refer to as "grounding and centering". There is no stasis involved.

Remaining in balance is arguably much more difficult than any other state of being. Being in balance does not imply that you aren't moving in a direction, either...riding a bicycle will demonstrate the combination quite nicely.

Keeping balance is strenuous exercise, both physically and philosophically. You are always working with and against the forces of life which you encounter every day, expending effort, re-evaluating your positions and feelings on a constant, even subliminal basis.

If you do all of this, and manage to attain some semblance of balance in your life, you are rewarded with more peace of mind and less stress.

It is a bitch to accomplish for any reasonable length of time, though. What is important is that you never stop trying.
