What Feeds A Witch War?

I garnered this from Ed Hubbards Book. Which incidentally is available in the www.witchschool.com library for your perusal. It is truly work looking at.

"Gossip and love of scandals is the major source of energy in a Witch War. Tabloid magazines, national enquirers, gossip shows, and tell-all books are America’s favorite entertainment (Let's not forget Blogs).

These highly-charged “alleged” secrets titillate the imagination and give us all something to talk about. The Pagan community, in this sense, sees Witch Wars as their tabloid entertainment.An antagonist gets caught up in the allure of attention and begins a conflict. They get off on knowing the reason everyone is talking is because of them. This appears to be a powerful position even if it is transitory. The antagonist alone knows the whole script and has the ability to share the truth or deeper the falsehoods.

Simply put, it becomes a kick for an antagonist to start a conflict.Heralds, people who broadcast rumors, are also a fuel source because of their popularity and acceptance depends on their ability to gather gossip. So they are constantly combing the community for sharable tidbits. This keeps the firs warm waiting for the right situation to flare up.The second thing that fuels a Witch War is the pursuit of power. While the majority love the randy tabloidism of it all, for a very small number it is the real pursuit of power. The ability to gain resources and increase influence in the community is their personal goal.

For the culty among us, it is about gaining more control over the members’ behavior. The antagonist will continue to fuel a Witch War as long as it makes it possible for them to pursue, gain and eventually hold the power they seek. Real power pursuits include leadership roles, Board of Directors, control over cash and assets, promotion to decision making levels, create policy or even being the last one standing intact. Each one is a statement of temporal power.Contrary to popular belief, spirituality does not feed a Witch War.

True pursuit of spirituality does not include the desire for the temporal trappings of power. The goal of spirituality is to have a place of inner peace and understanding of a higher level of things. People comfortable in their spirituality have no reason to launch a Witch War."
