MY WICCA (Part 2 of 5) By Durwydd MacTara2. The Witch must recognize and harmonize with the forces of theuniverse, in accord with the Law of Polarity: everything is dual;everything has two poles; everything has it's opposite; for every actionthere is a reaction; all can be categorized as either active or reactivein relation to other things. a) The Infinite and Ultimate Godhead is one unique and transcendent wholeness, beyond any limitations or expressions; thus, it is beyond our human capacity to understand and identify with this principle of Cosmic Oneness, except as It is revealed to us in terms of It's attributes and operation. b) One of the most basic and meaningful attribute of the One that we, as humans, can relate to and understand, is that of polarity, of action and reaction; therefore Witches recognize the Oneness of the Divinity, but worship and relate to the Divine as the archetypal polarity of God and Goddess, the All-Father and the Great Mother of the universe. The Beings are as near as we can approach to the One within our human limitations of understanding and expression, though it is possible to experience the divine Oneness through the practices of the Mysteries. c) Harmony does not consist of the pretty and the nice, but the balanced, dynamic, poised co-operation and co-relationship. 3. The Witch must recognize, and operate within the framework of theLaw of Cause and Effect; every action has it's reaction, and everyeffect has it's cause. All things occur according to this law; nothingin the universe can occur outside this law, though we may not alwaysappreciate the relation between a given effect and it's cause. Sub-sidiary to this is the Law of Three, which states that whatever goesforth must return threefold, whether of good or ill; for our actionsaffect more than people generally realize, and the resulting reactionsare also part of the harvest.4. As Above, So Below. That which exists in the Macrocosm exists, ona smaller scale and to a lesser degree, in the Microcosm. The powersof the universe exist also in the human, though in general instance theylie dormant. The powers and abilities can be awakened and used if theproper techniques are practiced, and this is why initiates of theMysteries are sworn to guard the secrets from the unworthy: Much harmcan be done by those who have power without responsibility, both toothers and to themselves according to the Laws of Cause and Effect andof Threefold Return. a) Since our philosophy teaches that the universe is the physical manifestation of the Divine, there can be nothing in the universe which does not partake of the nature of the Divine; hence, the powers and attributes of the Divine exist also in the manifest, though to much smaller degree.
