This is my little page to give you some basics
on magick, and some quick types of magick as well.
Consider this a brief, brief summary of what there
is... because there is so, so much more to it.
"The text book
definition of "magick" goes something like this: Magick - using one's
will to create form. Magick requites belief in a higher power, and faith
in yourself." Silver RavenWolf; Teen Witch
This is very, very true... now,
if you read my belief page you would know that higher power, always refers
to a positive energy, not something negative like "satan" or "the devil"
since witches believe in neither. Yes, it is needed to believe in
a higher power no matter what the name, be it God, Spirit, Goddess, a specific
deity of your choice (i.e. Diana, Apollo). But above all you must
believe in yourself... you will accomplish nothing if you don't. When working
magick, nothing is more important than believing that you do have the power
to do what ever it is you are setting out to do... if you doubt yourself,
it will only set you back. I have found, (though personal experience)
that if you doubt yourself, purpose, or say "this will never work" you
are right. Also i have found the stronger your belief in your magick, the
quicker it comes into being. (At least that is how it's always worked with
me). Below are some quick types of magick, (most taken from books of Silver
RavenWolf's she is after all my favorite author), below that list is some
more small tid-bits of information, and below that list is the Basic Witch
Rules of Magick (also from Teen Witch). Hey, and always remember
the Law of Three Fold!
All magick should include spirit
(god, goddess, deity etc.)
Use some form of divination before
attempting any magickal operation
Remember that every action you do
results in an action that will affect yourself and others
Remember: "Do what thou wilt, yet
harm none."
Remember: "Ever mind the Rule of
Three, what you send out comes back to thee"
Never work magick to inhibit another's
free will
Always walk your talk
Always have a back up plan
Always work the real world with
the magickal world
Do all magickal workings in a magick
circle or sacred place (at least while you are still learning)
Never threaten or scare anyone with
your magick
Remember: "Embrace Balance - Respect
Change"
Well that's all for now, hope i gave you at least
a little bit of info to help you... those advanced witches visiting my
page probably already know most of this, but hey, i hope you guys enjoyed
it too. =)
