Witches Haven

Even More Letters to The Baba

Dear Baba
I met a man and he is a High Priest. He said that I am a natural witch; that I could become his High Priestess because of my abilities. All we have to do is to perform the Great Rite.

My friends have told me that this isn't true. Witches need to go through degrees to become a High Priestess but if I am a natural witch? Maybe I don't need to do that and he is right.

Baba, I don't know what to do.

Baba talk to Lillith, find out what Great Rite would be.

The Baba need to lie down, take borsch and eat egg for strength. I think maybe Lillith was having joke on poor old Baba. But no. No joke.

What is wrong with you, cookie? You lose brains somewhere? They fall out of head? Wear babushka, keep brains where they belonging.

Vid'ma is born from mother. Was mother Vid'ma? No? Then you are not Vid'ma. He tell you you are natural Vid'ma. I clean stable of sweeter smell than this.

Vid'ma, natural Vid'ma don't need no big fancy name. High Priestess? Baba don't know no High Priestess. Know priests but they are church people. Don't like the Baba so much, those priests.

Degrees? Like on termometer? Again, Baba talk to Lillith. Again Baba need a lie down. So much stupid in world today. Problem? Everybody know everything. Everybody want to be expert.

Ni! No! Don'ka, don'ka...this man, he is zlyy. Evil man. He is after your little mother parts. Don't give them as prize for stupid. Save little mother parts for man you love, not rat in wheat field. Listen to friends.

Dear Baba
My friend is going to move in with a male witch and his other girlfriends. They call this polyamory and they say that this is the Pagan way, it is ancient and part of the belief system. I don't understand how this can be Pagan. She keeps telling me that this is Perfect Love in Perfect Trust, that sharing love like this is wonderful.

I don't really believe this. Is it true?

xxx-xxxxx

Baba is going for long rest. Thinking maybe stupid is new sickness. What is this Perfect Love in Perfect Trust? New way to make zhinky, what is word for zhinky? Womens. New way to make womens stupid? They have name for this in countries from long ago. Harem. Lots of womens, one man. Good for man, not so good for womens.

Baba hears man is going to jail for too many wives. Baba has lived long time. Seen many things. Never seen this turn good for womens. In the end, not so good for man either. I remember man named Rasputin. Many womens, then he pick wrong one. Tsarina. Not so good choice for Rasputin.

What is this Pagan way? This is not Pagan way. This new stupid way.

Love between man and woman is wonderful thing, lyubyy. It is not a share thing. When too many people share same love? It snap like bad dough. Like sweet butter. Can't spread too thin, it disappear.

Ah but you can't live life for friend. When world falls in? You stay, help her to build again. You have the brains. Maybe one day? Friend will find her brains and put them back. Start thinking with head, not mother parts.

Baba needs to rest now. World is crazy place. Full of stupids.

Dear Baba
I feel really silly writing to you but I don't know where to go for answers.
My name is XXXXXXX and I am 22 years old. I am a Witch but my boyfriend is a Christian. He keeps telling me that the devil is trying to take my soul by lying to me about witchcraft. I want to move in with him because we love each other and respect each other and we want to share our lives but he won't let me practice my religion. I really love him Baba, what should I do?

XXXXXXX

Oh little one. So many problems for such young age. The Baba was married at young age. Custom in old country. Baba learned, marriage is two way journey. But one bad ass can block path for all, create bad troubles. Nobody can move on the road.

Baba is vid'ma. Long line of vid'ma. Family is all vid'ma. You are not vid'ma. Witch take very long years to become. You are young woman who want to be witch. We get this clear now.

Witch is not religion. Witch is something we do. Witch has own religion. Some vid'ma are christian like boyfriend. Some vid'ma are Jewish. Some vid'ma have no religion at all. Like this, all herbs are plant but not all plant are herbs. See? Some plant are roses.

You and young man have big problem. You use word, respect. If young man respect you? He would not be saying these terrible things to you.

How can you spend life with someone like this? If you are to be vid'ma? How can you live with someone who would believe that you are too much like brick to see devil?

You be friend with him for now. You wait. Don't let womb talk for brain. Don't move into home with man who cannot have respect for you. He will be ass that block your journey.

Dear Baba
My friend told me that a witch is not allowed to put curses or hexes on people. She says the Witch Law says we aren't allowed to harm anyone.
Is she right? My boyfriend left me for a girl I really hate. I want to hex them both.

XXXX

Young people are so much emotion. Friend is wrong. Vid'ma has no such law. Vid'ma has own law to each person. Curse and hex is part of Vid'ma way but we use careful. We use very careful.

You want to curse boy and girl because boy doesn't love you any long? Did boyfriend has girlfriend before you? What if girlfriend hex you? You must turn coin over and see two sides.

Hex for love is not good. Very bad. It is like twig on willow bush. You push and you push, when you let go? It come back to slap you in face.

Hex is like twig on willow. It will come back for to hit you. Why? Because hex is wrong for love. Even Vid'ma does not want to force love.
Love should be like air, free to take in. Free to let out.

You will find more boys. You will love more boys. You cannot hex boy for not loving back. Hex will come back at you and you will never find love again. It will fly away.
