Introduction

What Is Magick?

It was a Friday night in mid-May and our coven was especially focused. For the first time ever we were all participating together in a large jobs spell. Several of us needed a change from our current circumstances, and a jobs spell seemed like the best place to start. Not all of us were looking to start completely over. Ari, for example, was simply looking for a little nudge that might advance her career. No matter the exact reason for each participants involvement in the spell, we were all restless and seeking new opportunities.

Our spell involved a variety of disciplines. There were tokens representing wealth and prosperity, and a collection of stones and herbs had been laid out, all associated with growth and new beginnings. We wrapped all of these materials into small squares of cloth, saying incantations as we tied cords around our sachets and secured them with knots. Our bags now bound tightly, we anointed them with oils for success and sealed everything with a few drops of candle wax. We finished our work by chanting together, infusing our bags with extra energy. Every bag that night was unique, in a way every spell was different, but because of our shared energies, each bag was also a part of a greater whole.

The results trickled in over the next few weeks. Matt took a new job managing a local metaphysical bookstore. Amanda left behind the life of a barista and began managing a fleet of food trucks in Silicon Valley. Ari got that promotion she was looking for and was now the unquestioned leader of her department at work. Jason received an email from Llewellyn Publications (the publishers of this book), asking if hed be interested in writing a book for them. The results from that night were real and tangible, and weve all had other successes when utilizing the power of magick.
