Dear Rose, I met a man a few months ago and we immediately felt the

chemistry. It was fast to say the least. I’m 50 years old and divorced and seeking a

partner/companion. This man is a practicing Wiccan, I am not. He has much baggage from his

childhood which makes him believe he’s not good enough for happiness or me. He referred to me as a

Goddess. He disappeared without any explanation after two weeks of a wonderful relationship. I feel

we are definitely soulmates and he too agreed but with that said he can’t seem to give himself to

me although he’s experiencing tremendous pain and hurt without me. I’m left with no recourse to

help this man. Just recently he sent me a note via a personals site. In his intro, he stated

“Thanks to all for viewing my profile. I have met a Goddess. K- You have cast a pure magick spell

on me. I fell in love with you the first night we met for dinner. I don’t know what to do.” He is

unreachable..doesn’t return my calls although I haven’t called in over a month and suddenly he

sends this message to me knowing well that I would see it. I didn’t cast a spell on him as I don’t

know how to. I just fell in love with him and want him in my life. What should I make of this

message from him? Please help. Thanks. Karen

Hello there my dear,

I am not sure that he meant what he said in the negative manner in which you seem to be

interpreting it….

It sounds more like he fell for you rather hard and is a little scared by the intensity of the

feelings that he felt for you so early on into the relationship….

Perhaps you might want to look a bit into his beliefs and his religion – as I think you might find

that helpful in understanding where he is coming from and what he is looking for….

Here is some basic information to get you started:

The Wiccan Way
In 1954, Gerald Gardner published Witchcraft Today in which he advocated the use of old, long

established rituals and introduced many of his own devising. Gardner venerated The Goddess and

women in general. He believed in the power of nature and that men and women could tune into it to

alter the course of things. Gardner’s work, according to several anthropologists, three direct

links to ancient paganism – the use of high magic, the use of plants and herbs in spells, and the

involvement of folk rites and customs to manipulate the powers of nature.
Gardner’s work lead to a revival in interest of the traditions of witchcraft, not just in Britain,

and he is credited by many as being the founder of what has become an officially recognized new

religion – Wicca. Wicca honors The God and The Goddess (their names vary from group to group) as

the two main deities and followers worship them in rites and rituals.
Wicca spread and as it did, different groups developed their own rites and rituals. In England,

Celtic practices and Gardnerian belief are blended together in the form of what has come to be

known as British Traditional Witchcraft. In the United States, where Gardner’s work was introduced

and developed by Raymond Buckland, Wicca has now become an officially recognized religion.
Wicca has followers all over the world, wherever people feel a need to turn from traditional

religions and return to a more Earth-based one. They practice various forms of white magic and

perform rituals to attune themselves with the natural rhythm of life forces, particularly those

marked by the phases of the moon and the four seasons.
Wiccans belong to a wider movement – neo-paganism, which as the name suggests has its roots in

ancient pagan belief systems. But not all neo-pagans are Wiccans: the term also refers to Druidism,

New Age, shamanism, ceremonial magicks, the occult sciences, voodoo, and the revival of any of the

other in the myriad of pre-Christian mystical traditions.
