Adventures in Wortcunning: Witch, as in Craft

It’s Witch as in Craft, not some horrey old hag
With a wart on her nose and a dress like a rag

‘Witch’ like ‘Wizard’ means knowing and wise
To percieve intuition and observe the skies

Think hedgerows and gardens and gathering flowers
Of harvesting plants and learning their powers

It’s late nights of research and focused intent
Persuit of the Secrets without relent

A craft much like stitchery, improving with skill
To speak as we do and say what we will

This life is a gift, so consider its end
Each precious moment, the Present we spend

Religions all change, and have through the Ages
This learning is older, belonging to Sages

Every one uses quantum to some small degree
Tis not belief, but a tool, so you see

Lore handed down by old men and Grandmothers
Arcane science ‘n myth becomes Magick for others
