Peace is a lie.
There is only ion.
Through ion, I gain Strength.
Through Strength, I gain Power.
Through Power, I gain Victory.
Through Victory my chains are Broken.
The Force shall free me.
This is the sith code in Star Wars and is my inspiration for using anger as an energy source for my witchcraft. The sith mold themselves in the darkest of human emotions and use it as fuel and empower them. Yes I know the saying anger in spells will only result in angry results. While for some that is true its not true with me. You see I was raised in rage, born in it, thrived in it. As Bane says, "Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!" See while I respect the people that overcome the use of darker emotions like the jedi do, I'm destined to be the sith. There is do much anger and rage in me it's a lot. Redirecting my darker emotions to my spells is a 2 way benefit for me, I can get some anger out and I can empower my spells.
And I'm not the only one to do so, those who use magick before us has used anger for baneful magick since ancient days. For instance Ancient Egyptians used execration rituals which means to denounce or curse a person, entity, or object one finds detestable, dangerous, or offensive in some way. These texts were not only curses but is designed to ward off or destroy harmful entities before they had a chance to harm someone or, in the case of physical or mental illness, to drive the evil spirit out and banish it from returning. These texts date back from 2613 to 2181 BCE through the Roman Empire. These rituals are in written text but also evidence s the hanging of garlic to keep spirits at bay. These texts or clay figures in some cases are destroyed symbolizing the destruction of one's enemy or habit.
That aside my opinion is that those that do nor at least acknowledge their darker emotions than they are not healthy. For it is natural to be jealous, hate, to be angry, or to be enraged. We cannot help how we feel, it's not logical it's human. The world is not positive or negative black or white it's shades of gray. It's how we react to those emotions that make it healthy or not. This goes hand in hand with what we witches call shadow work. We suss out the issue at hand and work out ourselves so we can heal ourselves. Now for witchcraft, if you don't have clarity of your anger then it's useless to ne blunt. For me the more I use anger in my magick the less my anger affects my judgement and I see clarity. Once again anger in magick is not a bad thing, it's how you use said anger and how you channel it that is affected.
Now as most of you know I'm not a love and light gal however those who are and aren't toxic I respect. These guys have cool anger release spells after all I suggest y'all research those. We all have differing views about anger in witchcraft craft but it's ok no 2 witch's craft is the same just like no 2 people's lives and experiences are the same. Just its not the emotion that shouldn't be put in negative light it's how you channel it that counts.
