But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
And he arose, and departed to his house.
But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
Matthew 9.6-8
As Cochranists, we are mystics and priests first, seekers of wisdom and doers of good whose rituals are enacted to bring the divine into the world. The word witch can be debatable, and is enfolded into the rest of what we do, The story of the Paralytic Brought Through the Roof in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke is a perfect illustration of that which is sometimes called magic, of the divine alchemy. The power of Christ is the divine power working through the hands of men to heal and to bring change in the midst of perfect love and perfect trust, the final incarnation of Christ called upon before Christmas, Emmanuel, not merely God is with us, but God with us, God as us, the Divine in our midst, in all of our doings
Latin:
O Emmanuel, Rex et legifer noster,
exspectatio Gentium, et Salvator earum:
veni ad salvandum nos, Domine, Deus noster.
English:
O Emmanuel, our king and our lawgiver,
the hope of the nations and their Saviour:
come and save us, O Lord our God.
