Magic

"True magick is not superstition or folk magick, such as one encounters in the ascribed powers of herbs and natural charms. It is the understanding of metaphysical principles and how to employ them in order to make manifest one's wishes or needs."
- Raven Grimassi, The Wiccan Mysteries
Within each one of us is an intrinsic life-force of divine energy. All people, animals, insects, plants, trees, rocks, crystals and metals have this energy. This energy is all around us and within us, weaving a sacred web throughout all living creatures. It is what binds us together. We are all part of each other and all living things. When we perform magic, we affect everything and everyone around us. This is why it is necessary to gain as much knowledge about energy and spell-casting as we can, before attempting to manipulate this energy.
Magic is all around us and it is very natural. Performing magic is the act of focusing on a desired outcome, and directing the energy around you to help enable that outcome to manifest. Wishing is a form of magic. A spell is an empowered wish to bring about a desired outcome in such a way as to be aligned with natural energies. It is an energized "prayer" to receive what you wish.
Your thoughts are very powerful...they consist of energy much like that of sound waves. When you think, you send out little waves of energy into the air that travel around, bounce off things, and influence anything around you. When you think of someone, and then they call, and you say "Wow, I was just thinking about you!", you may have sent a message that reached their subconscious and prompted them to call you. They could have chosen to ignore the prompting, of course, but regardless of how they responded, you still reached them. That, in a sense, is the way spells or magic works. A true magical spell would contain much more energy than a simple thought, though. You would infuse all of your energy into what you wanted to happen to assure that it occurred, although, you have to be very specific and always think about how you will affect those around you.
'White Magic', 'Black Magic' and everything in-between is all the same magic, just used in different ways. It's all in the intention. We all use the same energies to achieve our wishes and objectives. Some people strive for things in a selfish way, not thinking of how their actions are going to affect others. Some use magic in a selfless way, sometimes disregarding their own wants and needs. Think about what you are doing before you do it and how it will affect everyone and everything around you. Remember that your thoughts are intentions that have power behind them, so always strive for your highest and greatest good, knowing that what you send out is what will eventually come back to you.
“Magic exists. Who can doubt it, when there are rainbows and wildflowers, the music of the wind and the silence of the stars? Anyone who has loved has been touched by magic. It is such a simple and such an extraordinary part of the lives we live.” “And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.” “The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” |
“The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.” “That's the thing about magic; you've got to know it's still here, all around us, or it just stays invisible for you.” “Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.” |
