Guerilla Wicca

Having instructed you all on being voluntold, I will now share the "mysteries" of Guerilla Wicca. Guerilla Wicca is a specialty of mine authored by myself and Lady Phoenix to slip by slacking Pagans for our entertainment and the slacker's enlightenment. Guerilla Wicca is not to be confused with Aardvarkian Wicca, another Trad I started 20 years ago with a fellow High Priest, named Pryddth ap Don. Aardvarkian Wicca is a system inspired by Eris and those of her followers who like to roll out the golden apple. If you want to know more about Eris and Discordian magic find a copy of "The Principia Discordia".

Before I go on, I'd like to give credit where credit is due, and post an e-mail received today, from my sister priestess in Guerilla Wicca fun, Lady Phoenix. She sent me this after reading my previous posts.

"KICK ASS.... NOW you can go finally get all that shit down so it can be put
into book form... I got blogs too.. .
i thought Bor was going to shit when we talked about Guerilla Wicca... omg...
you gotta write about that one next...lol..."

All right, now that the proper credit has been given, we begin our Guerilla Wicca tutorial. As I mentioned in the post on voluntold, I have an extremely irritating way of teaching. I call it the "art of the question". So what do you think that Guerilla Wicca might be? Take some time to think about this before reading further.

If you think that Guerilla Wicca is subversive, covert, underground and sneaky, I think that you are probably on the right track! I'll again instruct you, a la Lady Raven, and ask you another question. Why in the world is there a need for a magical system that is covert, subversive, underground and sneaky? Take your time, here, and really think of an anwer before reading further.

For those of you who read my previous post on voluntelling, you'll probably get the idea that many folks are slackers, plain and simple. Now the Craft of the Wise, or Witchcraft, is ALL about change. If you have a bunch of slacking individuals who refuse to work on themselves to change for the better (for their own health and happiness and that of the Planet) then sneak, subversion, and covert techniques can be very helpful. Guerilla Wicca is simply the act of slipping in transformational magic without the knowledge of the student. I'm not talking about "manipulative spell work". In my book or BOS* manipulative spell work is considered "black magic".

Guerilla Wicca is Art in its highest form. It's sneaking in the Spells of Change in such a way that the person does all of the work and gets all of the benefit without ever knowing that I'm slipping them anything. Pretty cool, don't you think? You don't have to be a Poohbah to practice Guerilla Wicca. In fact, being a Poohbah actually gets in the way of working this type of Craft. The point is to remain "unseen".

Some of you may be wondering what the Spells of Change are. I'm going to do my thing again and ask you, "What do you think the Spells of Change are?" I'll be posting about them at a later date and expecting you all to have considered the question, unless you already "know" the answer. Once again, you've been voluntold!
