Laurie Cabot Tradition of Witchcraft

The tradition of Cabot believes that witchcraft is a science and at the same time, religion and art. When applied as a science, it is believed that to harness the expansion of the psychic potential. The key to this science argument is the harnessing of light and the sensitivity to alpha waves, with both being the mystery surrounding every living thing. Cabot controls alpha waves using an ancient Pythagorean method that uses numbers and colors.

Cabot uses the Wiccan Rede to teach people that they have free will to do what they feel like doing as each individual is responsible for their actions and thoughts. While other religions state that if performing magic should boomerang back to the sender, the Cabot tradition believes that this is a violation of the Rede. Those who practice this tradition are taught to build psychic neutralizing shields to make them be able to neutralize the energies to be used in a positive form or disintegrate it so that it does no harm to them. Even the sender.

The practitioners of the Cabot tradition come from all walks of life. When they are performing their rituals, they are normally eclectic with practitioners wearing black which is considered by the tradition as the traditional witch color. The religion notes that, unlike white which reflects backlight, the black color is able to absorb light with the absorption facilitating the psychic power. Gold jewelry is worn in order to provide psychic strength in the form of a pentacle pendant.

Apart from Craft basics, other instructions by the tradition include geometric structure; parapsychology; sociology; astrology; anthropology; healing, aura reading and balancing; meditation; and the psychic arts.
