‘Given the fact that two thirds of Man’s brain is dormant it never ceases to amaze me how little he uses the one third which is active. If Man pushed just a little harder what miracles there might be!’

Thoughts on Magick and living magickally - United Energy Centre Member

I have included this section because it felt right to do so. It’s really the glue that holds all I do or try to do together. It is also here to give those new to or unsure of magick a taster of it and those well versed in it one more person’s input and the chance to add their own. Please see the ‘Sharing Magick’ page for my own and other people’s spells, ideas, incantations and the like. For me it is in being more ourselves and in connecting with life's cycles that we see more life and encourage others to do the same. Whatever you choose to do, may you find joy and love within it.

Magickal thinking can be found everywhere. In almost all creeds and religions if you look closely enough and disregard that which seeks to lessen and control us. Magickal thought often translates that when writings and scriptures claim that we as humans were moulded in the image of God, a part of the meaning of this is that we are imbued with the image-creating power of God. Within our imagination lies the power to create; to manifest and change our realities. Descartes said ‘I envision therefore I am.’ It is possible we are each a part of the universe envisioning itself. I believe divinity, whatever we choose to name it, is in us all and within all life, that it has both male and female forms and is all genders and none. I see it as the breath behind the wind, the spark in our thinking, the fire in our bellies and the joy in our hearts. We may learn to know it through living and loving; through ourselves, eachother, the nature of now and within writings ancient and modern. We may hear it in laughter and in tears and feel its presence and power both in the daytime and at night.

Working towards thinking, living and being magickally requires, in my eyes, creativity of thought and an ability to listen to life; it asks for us to be able think outside accepted ideas where it is appropriate, even vital so to do. Living with awareness comes with a responsibility to see how all beings, lives and energies flow in and out of each other and how we are all part of a big ‘oneness’ with many currents and tides. I don’t mean we should ‘survive’ like a dead fish just going with the flow. It is to recognise and celebrate change; to be part of it; to be navigators of the tides and a part of the tides themselves. This is of course my own opinion and I welcome others.

To me spell-weaving is based on living with intent, focus and joy; about sending out and receiving energy and about actively visualising and working towards a future and inviting other energies to work on that plan. We may be taught spells by others, past and present, by a voice in our hearts. We may see spells written in flame, hear them in wind, reflected in water. They may nourish us like fruits from the earth. All is connected to spirit. As I believe we are all linked I see a ripple affect in magick. Just as when we give out smiles we welcome others to share being happy and the opposite can happen when we trade harsh words, I see that joy given to one can lift many, pain given to one can hurt many. For this reason I try to exercise my will through love, to protect others' right to live and be within love and to take the path of no or least harm.


“Love is the law, love under will.”–AL I:57
(I would add to this: 'will through love')
