The Witch Flame

The physical body of the witch gives them power over their material world but within them is the power of the Witch Flame. When we seem weak, it makes us strong; when we seem defeated, it makes us victorious. Our Witch Flame burns with the might of the Fiery Ether, it shines across the Cosmos as a beacon to those forces that govern Natural and Supernatural Law. When we begin our path as witches, our Witch Flame is just a spark, but through persistence and dedication, it becomes a celestial inferno!
