Magic Basics-Casting Spells

As you read in the lore of magic you realize that spells are endowed with ritual and ceremony. They are framed and performed in such a way that they seem to have a lot of power and importance. They are not cast lightly. Think about this in relationship to the power your subconscious has. If you want to impress on it changes and get it to help you create your new life a well crafted spell will be just the thing. Your subconscious perceives things differently than your left brain does. The workings of the subconscious are not easily evident, they are hidden or occult. Magic is called the study of the occult. To craft a spell state the desired change in as lyrical, clear and happy way as you can. Bring in any sensory messages you can. Here is one I might use: "I am writing, I am writing large on the canvas of life, clothing my message, my vision, my values in all the joy, fun, and excitement that I can bring forth. I am writing for the hearts and eyes of my precious readers, whoever and wherever they may be. It is so.' Spells are clear, assertive and reach out into the universe for you, as well as getting your inner self to help you. Let the energy of the magic that surrounds you help you to craft some spells for yourself. Once you have cast them it will be easier to stand behind them and work to bring them into being. Cast spells for positive changes in your life. If you have negative things in your life do not react with negativity. Craft the spell so that you stay positive. Here is a possible example. 'I recognize that I have lessons to learn in this situation. I proclaim that I will become clear about all and I will move toward self nurturing behavior in this situation. If I need to negotiate I will do so. If I need to break ties I will do so. I recognize the right of all for respect, especially myself and my soul. It is so.' May you be able to cast good spells for yourself. May the spark be with you.

Magical Wisdom

Magic is often referred to as the occult, or that which is hidden. At times we hide things from our self, or at least do not let the whole impact of them come to us. Procrastination is a signal that something needs to be faced. Sometimes gimmicks and habits can be helpful with procrastination. If it is just a little bit of putting off you can apply the gimmick of 'getting a small start' of unraveling the knot a bit. Once something is started it is much easier to get it finished. But there are times when it is good to go a little deeper and find what anxiety needs to come to the surface and be faced. That's when the idea of magic is useful. Tips, gimmicks, good habits are all useful and should be part of our repertoire. But magic, with the idea of uncovering that which is deeper, is the right tool for the job at times. When we know what we fear we can face it. Then the behaviors we were putting off, to alert us that we were procrastinating, are much easier to deal with as well. So, I suggest that if you find yourself nagging at yourself about your procrastination do not just try to call up will-power to help you. Meditate until you understand the whole picture. That bit of understanding will be the spark of magic that will give you the energy to deal with the deeper cause of your procrastination, thus improving you life.
