✨~Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.— Fyodor Dostoyevsky~✨

Spiritual Bypassing
With the advent of social media and witchcraft becoming increasingly popular within recent years, spiritual bypassing is a highly important topic of discussion.
For those new to the craft and just starting out, researching and cross referencing topics is sometimes a daunting task. Leading them to look up to those with more experience as beacons of information and wisdom, which unfortunately can lead to spiritual bypassing.
However, this isn't the only instance we see spiritual bypassing appear- many people often promote incredibly dangerous and sometimes deadly tips or information which can lead to all sorts of harm and damage to individuals and communities.
-------------------------------------
What is spiritual bypassing?
Spiritual bypassing is the "tendency to use spiritual ideas and practices to sidestep or avoid facing unresolved emotional issues, psychological wounds, and unfinished developmental tasks" (John Welwood,. 1980). In other words, to avoid or ignore issues in favour of using spiritual practices to "heal" them. A very common example of this is, "stop taking your medication it lowers your vibration".
-------------------------------------
We commonly see this in the new age 'love n light' community, however, no spiritual community is exempt from this. You will often see people recommend the use of crystals and spellwork to "cure" mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression. Or telling others that their medical treatments such as medications will lower their vibration and recommend an alternative (and highly dangerous) treatment instead.
While witchcraft and spirituality can be an important aspect of a person's life, it should not replace a medical professionals advice or medical treatment in any way. Not only is spiritual bypassing dangerous, but it often veers into eugenics (an example being, "I'm not autistic, I'm a starseed).
-------------------------------------
So, if you're a beginner what should you look out for?
Well, here's a small list-
- telling you that medical treatment effects your 'vibration'
- that your medical/mental conditions can be 'cured' by cleansing
- telling you that things should be "positive vibes only"
- using concepts such as starseeds and indigo children as a justification for neurodivergency (starseeds and indigo children stem from ableism)
- xxxxx is a substitute for therapy
- that your disability is because you are "out of alignment"
- that traumatic experiences are because they are a "learning experience" from God
- that negative experiences are due to "karma"
- promoting toxic positivity to overcome negative feels
And there are many more.
