I Will Help You Change


I will change the way you look at me

And others

When you see a pentagram you will no longer see

Stereotypical, pop-cultured views of summoning demons

You will see what I see

The combination of earth, water, wind and fire

The blend of the elements, the sunrise and sunset.

You will see the changing from one season to another

The wheel of life turning.

 

I will change your mind.

I will make you think differently.

I will help you consider the points of views of others.

I will help you be more open.

 

I will change the way you feel.

I will try to make you understand

The way I leave myself as I pray

The way I feel the breeze on my skin

The flicker of my heart as I watch the flicker of a candle

 

I will change the way you hear

So that “Wiccan” will not be equated to Devil-Worshipper.

So that “Pagan” will not involve throwing animals into fires.

I will make you listen.

 

I will try to change the way you think, and feel, and see.

Because I will never change myself.
