Interrupting is a Magic Wand
At times the urge for Magic to come to our rescue is a recognition that we aren't happy with the way we are thinking and don't know how to get to a better place. We may be feeling negative thoughts but know that it might be dangerous to try to supress them. The more we deny that we want that piece of chocolate cake, the more likely we are to eat three pieces when we finally quite resisting the desire. At times like this there is one "magic wand" that we can use. That is humor. If we were to imagine that piece of cake growing green hair, taking a place on a stage and singing to a funny audience, perhaps of fat Alice in Wonderland caterpillars, we might be able to get away from the desire to grab the cake and gobble it down. Other times we can go with the desire or urge and exaggerate it until it loses its hold over us. Whatever way we choose to move away from the darkness of not having the magic we want, is a good way. Don't suppress. Examine and play with the negative thought. Magic is yours. Find your magic wands. Use humor. Use movement. Take deep breaths. Do what it takes. Do not suffer from the lack of magic. May the spark be with you.

Work Magic by seeing the Next Step
I have ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder), although the hyperactive part is not so much physical as it is in the way my thought processes can jump all over the place. I have had to design ways to cope, to rewire my brain. One of the things I do, to ensure that I am productive, is combat the resistance to shifting gears by visualizing the 'next step'. I may feel a big energy sink, I just don't want to get in gear. But if I practice in my mind 'the next step' I am able to get it done. We have a pear tree in our front yard and I decided to make some sort of partridge ornament for it. That meant looking at pictures of partridges, finding materials such as paint, drawing it out and so forth. Now I can look at my emerging partridge and feel a sense of anticipation..by tomorrow I will have a 'partridge in a pear tree' in my front yard. By practicing what I had to do in my mind until I could manifest it I was able to bring something fun into my life. I suspect that this is a technique that all wise magicians can use. Keep your goal before you, practice seeing yourself accomplishing it and you will be able to bring magic into your life. The field of energy that is magic that surrounds us will help you. The means to accomplish your goal will manifest. The old paints I had turned out to still be usable, brushes were good, pictures were on the internet that I could draw from. See your next step, as many times as you need to. Bring magic into your life. If you have to see yourself solving problems to do that next step, do so. This is a good time of the year for magic. May the spark be with you.
