Faith, Trust & Letting Go

I hear a lot more Christians talk about faith than I do Pagans*. Maybe that's because we have no intermediaries between us and the Divine**. One doesn't need to have faith in something one has experienced.

But it seems to me today that what we do need to have is trust. We must trust that the Goddess and God will help us, hear us, love us.

When we send an intention out into the ether, whether it be through a moment of prayer, a full ritual or through spellcraft, the last step is release. Letting go.

That's the mechanism of magic - we create an intent, focus, raise energy and then...release. Let go and trust that the Divine will handle your request. Goddess and God will figure out the details.

When we have trust and practice letting go, all we have to do is put one foot in front of the other. Just keep walking. They have our back!
