In my animist practice, and extended in my witches’ coven, Homing Coven, words not only REFER to energy that course through all things (living beings, colours, planetary bodies, money - which are very much all conscious and alive)), words ARE energy. Work with the words directly as living beings, which are both the bridge to and the literal Unseen, where words and the silence of space between them, are part of the spells we can cast.
