This week we’re talking about magick and its profound impact on our lives. So gather ’round, witches, grab your cauldron, light some incense, and settle in as we unravel this mystery together.
Part 1: How does magick really work?
Magick, much like any other spirituality, is a belief system that connects us to our higher power. It’s that eternal, omnipotent, and intelligent consciousness residing within us, which represents our true selves—the part of us that remains when all the window dressings of our ego are stripped away. Think of it as our inner Zen, the relaxed, in-touch-with-ourselves, carefree essence that knows who we are and isn’t afraid to be seen. It’s the unfiltered and unapologetic version of ourselves.
In the realm of magick, we tap into this higher self and believe that the universe listens to our will and responds. It may not always give us exactly what we want, but it answers nonetheless. Recall those childhood moments when we blew out birthday candles, fully convinced that the universe would grant our wishes. That inherent understanding of our wishes having power remains within us.
So why can’t we extend this belief to other aspects of our lives? Why can’t we light a green candle in a bowl filled with uncooked rice, coins, cinnamon, basil, bay leaves, and adorned with green aventurine and pyrite crystals, and ask the universe to keep money flowing our way? The act of creating this money bowl becomes a powerful expression of intention and manifestation. It serves as a visual reminder of our desires and a sacred space where our higher self can channel its energy towards attracting financial abundance.
When we engage in magickal practices, we are tapping into our inherent power. Magick is not some external force acting upon us; it is the recognition and utilization of the power we possess within ourselves. Through focused intent, ritual, and visualization, we align our consciousness with the energies of the universe, opening the channels for manifestation.
In my own journey, I’ve discovered that magick is not limited to specific rituals or tools. It permeates every aspect of our lives, from the smallest daily rituals to the grandest manifestations. Magick is an intrinsic part of who we are, and we can harness its power in countless ways.
For example, have you ever found yourself in a difficult situation, unsure of what steps to take? Magick can be your guiding light in these moments. Through meditation, divination, or simply connecting with your intuition, you can tap into the wisdom of your higher self and receive guidance that aligns with your true path. It’s like having a personal GPS system that leads you in the right direction, even when the path seems uncertain.
Magick can also enhance our relationships and interactions with others. Consider the power of intention when we offer a simple blessing or prayer to a loved one in need. By infusing our words with love, healing energy, and positive intentions, we can create a profound impact on their well-being and the dynamics of our relationship with them. It’s a beautiful way to show our support and channel the energy of the universe into the lives of those we care about.
Furthermore, magick extends to our daily rituals and self-care practices. From brewing a cup of herbal tea with intentions of healing and relaxation to creating a personal sanctuary in our living space, we infuse magick into our surroundings and invite positive energies into our lives. Cleansing rituals, such as smudging with sage or purifying baths with essential oils, help us release negativity and restore balance within ourselves.
Magick can also be found in the art of manifestation. By visualizing our goals, creating vision boards, or writing affirmations, we focus our energy on attracting the desired outcomes into our lives. It’s not just wishful thinking; it’s an active engagement with the universe, sending clear signals of our intentions and desires.
Remember, magick is a deeply personal and subjective experience. It is unique to each individual, shaped by our beliefs, experiences, and the symbolism that resonates with us. Whether it’s casting spells, working with crystals, or connecting with nature, embrace the practices that speak to your soul and allow you to tap into the wellspring of your magickal power.
So, as we explore the depths of magick, let’s remember that it is a limitless force that flows through us. It is the essence of our connection to the universe and the expression of our true selves. Open your heart, trust your intuition, and embrace the magick that surrounds you.
