Witch, Rebel, Creator: You Don’t Need Permission

Hello, my radiant flames.

This one’s for the misfits.
The ones who never quite fit in the mold.
The ones who felt too loud, too intense, too sensitive, too much.
And the ones who were told to wait:
Wait until you're wiser.
Wait until you're ready.
Wait until someone more “qualified” says it’s okay to begin.

Let me say it louder for the ones in the back:
You don’t need permission.
Not to live, not to speak, not to be who you are.

The Sacred Rebellion

To walk the path of the witch is to step off the well-worn road and into the untamed forest of your own spirit.

You are not following.
You are forging.

Luciferianism doesn’t give you a list of commandments or a one-size-fits-all ritual book. It gives you a mirror. It says: “Look. What do you see? What do you choose to become?”

This isn’t about worship. It’s about waking up.

Waking up to the truth that your power was never something you had to earn.
It was yours the moment you chose it. The moment you stopped apologizing. The moment you said:

“I will no longer contort myself to fit someone else’s comfort zone.”

Witches don’t wait for permission.
We create it.

What You Might Be Waiting For

Let’s be honest:many of us hesitate not because we’re unsure of our calling, but because we’re afraid to be seen in our power. Maybe this is you:

-Waiting to feel “spiritual enough”

-Waiting for a teacher to give you a label

-Waiting until your crystals are cleansed, your altar is perfect, your life feels in order

-Waiting until you’re no longer afraid

Here’s the truth: fear doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means you’re doing something real.

Fear is a doorway.
Walk through it.

Becoming Your Own Authority

Lucifer, as a symbol, represents the inner light, the mind that questions, the will that chooses, the soul that refuses to kneel.

Authority in the Luciferian path comes from within. Not from an institution. Not from a tradition. Not from someone else’s version of enlightenment.

You do not need someone else’s system to validate your experience. You are not broken for not following the rules. In fact, breaking the rules might be the most sacred thing you ever do.

You get to decide what power looks like.
You get to decide what devotion feels like.
You get to decide what magick is.

Reflective Questions for the Unapologetic Witch

Take a moment. Light a candle. Open your journal. And ask yourself:

-Where in my life am I still waiting for permission?

-Who taught me that I needed to earn worth or power?

-What does my unapologetic self look like?

-If I stopped playing small, what would I do today?

The answers may not come all at once, but they will come. And when they do, listen.

The Bold Path Is Not Easy… But It’s Yours

Let’s be clear: walking your own path doesn’t mean it’s without struggle.

You will be misunderstood.
You will be judged.
You will outgrow relationships and roles you thought you’d wear forever.

But you will also become free.
And freedom, true freedom, is worth every cracked illusion.

You will discover that you can hold sorrow and strength at once.
That your rage can become ritual.
That your wounds can become wisdom.
That you don’t need to fit in because you’re here to stand out.

Ritual of Fire: A Practice for Unleashing Your Voice

When you're ready to declare your independence from external validation, try this:

You’ll need:

-One red candle (for courage and passion)

-A feather or small mirror

-A fire-safe bowl or cauldron

-A slip of paper

Step 1:
Write down the words or beliefs that have held you back. Example:

“I’m not allowed to call myself a witch.”
“I’m not ready.”
“They won’t approve.”

Step 2:
Read them aloud and challenge them. Say:

“This no longer defines me.”
“I release this with fire.”

Step 3:
Burn the paper safely. As the flame consumes it, imagine those beliefs unraveling from your body and spirit.

Step 4:
Hold the feather or mirror in your hands. Whisper:

“I am the voice. I am the spell. I am the flame.”

Carry it with you. Let it remind you.

Final Words (And a Little Dare)

Witch,
Rebel,
Creator.

You are not here to be passive.
You are not here to ask permission.
You are not here to live a life that fits neatly into someone else’s expectations.

You are here to awaken.
To question.
To rise.

And to remind others that they can too.

So here’s my dare to you:
Do something today that makes your spirit say yes, even if it scares you.
Wear the thing. Speak the truth. Light the candle. Start the practice. Own the name: witch, rebel, creator.

And if no one’s told you lately:
I believe in your fire.
Now go set something free.

With defiance, grace, and shadowlight,
Veronika Valakova
