An Introduction to a Magickal Life
Table of Contents
If you mention magic to people, they will think about stage or street magic. However, there is an even deeper meaning of magic that our ancestors have been using since the beginning of time. Magick is a term used by people who practice the art of witchcraft to define the force that utilizes power, knowledge and wisdom. It is used to change things that are changeable. It is also defined as the energy intended to make changes.
Its aim is to train minds by harnessing as well as making accessible higher brain faculties like intuition, creativity and inspiration by drawing the power of the unconscious and subconscious brain. It assumes belief in subtle and small energies that we cannot see but has profound effects on us and directing them to make changes. It is an intriguing discipline that has attracted a lot of people who want to harness the invisible energies around them to make positive changes in their lives. If you are one of the followers of magick and you dont know where to begin, then this book will serve as your guide.
Many people will scratch their heads if you ask them to define what magick is. Magick, as an art and science, is difficult to explain unless you keep yourself abreast with the necessary information related to it. Thus, this chapter will discuss about what you need to know about magick.
Magick is the science and art of causing change in things in conformity to the will. It is also defined as the energy that circulates within the universe of the Gods and flows towards humanity. It is spelled with a k so that it can be easily differentiated from magic tricks performed by illusionists.
It is the aim of magic to train our minds in drawing the power of our subconscious mind so that we can use our brains capacity to the fullest. Magick employs meditation, voice work, breathing control, visualization, rituals and drama which are all designed in order to improve both the body and mind so that we are able to feel and wield even the subtlest energies around us.
Some people believe that magick is a type of ancient religion that is being resurrected by its followers. However, the big difference between magick and the religious path is that the former is more dynamic and it puts emphasis on the work for change. Unlike religious paths, there are no gurus central to its beliefs but there are fellow students with different experiences and perspectives that teach one another.
Magick also works with many symbols and they serve as the language of the unconscious. The symbols function differently which include confounding the ego, perceive truths, censor mechanisms and other revelations. The thing is that symbols provide harmony with the different types of energies present around us.
Being a student of magic is a painful process and it often involves a lot of hard work when it comes to dealing with strong energies around us. It takes a lot of practice and this book will serve as your guide as beginners.
There are five primary phases of energy accepted in magick and these energies come with their common attributes and qualities. This chapter will discuss about the five energies essential for magick believers.
- Fire: Fire is an essential element used in purification and defense. It is visualized as red energy and it is believed to be the main energy or force needed for expansion.
- Water: Water is the energy visualized as blue energy. It is used in healing, regeneration, cleansing and movement. It is also the universal force for contraction.
- Air: Air refers to intelligence and other mental stuff. It has a strong energy that can push something away from it or draw it near. It can also purify by blowing out bad energy. It is often visualized as yellow energy and it is the universal force that reconciles water and fire.
- Earth: Earth refers to solidity, strength and permanence. It also has regenerative capabilities. It is perceived as green energy and is thought to be the combination of water, fire and air thus it is the universal force that solidifies all physical manifestations.
- Spirit: The element of spirit is visualized as the white energy and is used for anything. However, you need to work with it to get the feel of it so that you can decide on how to use it. This is the reason why many magick followers find it challenging to control this energy. Also called Akasha, it is the universal principle that covers all things.
As a follower of magick, it is important that you know how to use all energies and channel them to yourself. The best way to channel the energy to you is to meditate and imagine yourself being filled with the element without being harmed. It is important that students of magick spend time meditation and balancing their self with each element so that they can put them to good use.
Rituals are essential for students of magick. They are necessary because they result to external and internal changes through the will. Below are the reasons why magick rituals are very important for students and followers of magick.
- To help beginners to learn how to shift their mental gears which can help them achieve meditative state of their mind and will.
- To help them focus themselves to the tune of their mind particularly to the type of energies that can help them achieve their goals in an orderly manner.
- Rituals also serve as mental training for beginners but advance magick students can use it to improve their focus and skills in harnessing energies and using them to make changes.
- To be used in formality as some spirits and energies require rituals for formality in order to respond to the invocation.
Rituals are very important tools used by students of magick. They do it so that they can focus on their will and to accomplish their goals. This chapter will discuss about the basic magick rituals that you need to know when practicing magick.
The qabalistic cross is the most fundamental of all rituals a magick student should learn. It uses the symbol of the cross which represents the circular horizon and cardinal directions of north, south, east and west.
In this ritual, you need to visualize a cross made of brilliant light that is shining through and within your body to symbolize the spiritual orientation and the intersection of different primal dimensions. The vertical line emanates from the sphere of white light from the crown of the head and moving down the body towards the feet. This forms the connection between the Source of All and here which refers to the present moment.
On the other hand, the horizontal line of action is the brilliant light that runs from the sphere of red light from the right shoulder through the top of the heart which is the center of the sphere. This line continues to the left shoulder but continues on as blue light. This line expresses the truth that you are conscious thus you have the will to make decisions based on your values.
The ritual of making the qabalistic cross is a magickal method that allows one to gain spiritual orientation and consciousness so that they will know here and what they are going to do. To perform the ritual, below are important steps that you need to take to be able to make the qabalistic cross.
- Eliminate the distractions and noise while doing this ritual. You can do this inside your meditation room or a nook in your garden.
- Start by standing while facing towards the east where the sun rises.
