Agnesse says:
“The Witches Foot is a most potent symbol to us. Three lines that meet at their center…forming a snowflake-like shape.” She scratches this shape on the ground at her feet.
“This shape realizes the shape of creation….the middle line, running up and down through the center of the design, is the the God Stane, stretching from Elfhame below to Chemeri above. If you look at this symbol closely, you shall realize that the crossed lines on the central line are actually four roads that lead to the four kingdoms of the World of man…Thus the pattern of the world is realized…power flows from above, power flows from below, power flows from the four directions all around. You stand at the center. You are where the lines meet. This symbol has a very powerful use…it can be used to tremble the threads of power that surround you….and connect all the worlds.
Now, realize the power connects you, by your spine, to the powers below and to the powers above. By this you may become the Godstane! These powers are always in you, you only need a change of awareness to sense them. Sense the great power flow around you, the great, moving force of the serpent, and the airy presence of the spirit in you and in everything else, floating within it all. It’s truly like a swift river of power that flows constantly through you and all things. You don’t feel it now, because you have become numb to its constant flow.
The Crossing is done thus:
Touch your forehead and name it as the Sky, the Impregnator, and touch your navel and name it as the Mother, and touch your left shoulder and name it the Puckerel, and touch your right shoulder and name it the “Other”. Fold your hands at your chest and call out to the Wisdom and Power of the Great Dark One.
Now, with your breath, take into yourself the spirit of the World, breathe it down into the middle place of your power, in your chest. Gather into yourself the power that endows the whole world with motion, until it is a radiance in your chest. Remember, the secret to this is to be gentle. It will not feel as powerful as you’d like the first time you do it. Keep doing it, gently, and it will grow in power. Be gentle and keep your mind one-pointed on what it is you intend to achieve. Think of the leaf that falls from a tree, and flutters, softly, but always downward, to the ground. It must fall. It will reach the ground. Nothing can stop that, but in-between, it floats gently. No hurry, but inevitable result. When you do any working, be like that. Think like that.
With your mind, and your will, shape this power you have gathered into you into the form of a great witches foot…with the axis running up and down you, and the crossed lines radiating out of you. In your minds eye, the symbol may seem flat, but think with depth, and you can smoothly force it to become not a one-dimensional symbol, but an actual pole of light running vertical, passing through the center of two crossed roads of light. Let this surround you.
Above you and below you, let the axis of the witches foot extend into the sky and the earth. To your left and right, and in front of you and behind you, allow the four roads to trail off to the very fringes of Middle Earth. Feel connected to all six of these places. You are connected to them already, in a very real way, but let the mental image you have conjured open your awareness of these places. You stand at the center. Power flows to and from you to the six places.
You may use the Hex-threads to help feel power whenever you need to.
A smile crosses her face….
“The art of invoking the presence of spirits is done by the power of the Witches Foot as well. Once you have the six threads, and you feel the power coursing at you from all places at once, you can feel the effects your various words, thoughts, and feelings have on the power of the world around you. With focus…you may speak words of calling…and when you do so, make certain that you send the force of your words or thoughts down all six threads…up into the high realms, and down into the deepest ones, and to the four kingdoms…for by doing so, you ensure that all of creation hears the call, and the spirit you seek must hearken to it.
This symbol can also bridge the gap between the worlds, and act as a device that allows for soul-flight and access to the otherworlds, but this is a mystery for another time.”
