Within the Sanatorian Path, loosely translated as the Healer’s Path, we define the word “w.i.t.c.h.” as a “Wise Individual that Chooses Humility,” However, you do not have to be a witch to be a Sanatorian practitioner. You simply have to be a magickally minded individual who has chosen to dedicate your life to the service of your chosen Divine being(s) and to helping and healing all life to the best of your ability. To be as the Cunning-Folk of antiquity and be the one that others come to when in need of healing, spiritual guidance, and the removal of malevolent magick. This is not a path for those who take the lives of living things for their own personal gain and use the craft to harm others. Sanatorian practitioners do not have to identify as neither white nor dark but should strive to find great balance between the two as that is where true power lies within us all. Those who choose to follow the Sanatorian Path should always strive to keep a pure and Divine heart with intentions on always helping others and strive to keep a good moral compass while at the same time know how to help and be willing to defend, without bringing harm, those who have found themselves the target of malevolent intentions whether magickal or mundane.
The Sanatorian Path is an eclectic, neo-pagan, nature based form of spirituality and Sanatorian practitioners should be able to see the Divine presence in all of Nature and to work to honor that Divine presence with all their words, actions and deeds. Our Sabbat rituals and celebrations, the traditional pagan Wheel of the Year, are utilized to help us attune with the cycles of the seasons, and the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth, and are viewed within the Sanatorian Path as a celebration of the dance between the Sun "God energy," and the Earth "Goddess energy" through which all life here on this planet depends for survival.
