The Magic of Interaction

   Magic does not happen in a vacuum or a sterile atmosphere.  The spark may go from the wise magician to an object of nature, or come from the natural entity to the wise magician.  Such may have happened when early people discovered the beneficial qualities of certain plants.  But a great magic can happen between people.  Think of how energized you feel when you are validated by a smile from a mentor or a thumbs up from a friend.  Even more, when true collaboration takes place and a problem is solved, a great spark of energy surrounds the group.  Often ideas will come in clusters because the magic of creativity has opened up minds.  Dialogue between minds, even dialogue between different aspects of your self, can make life richer.  So, wise magicians, I urge you to keep the interaction going.  Listen.  Respond.  Question.  Avoid close mindedness.  Slogans and labels are anathema to magic.  Remember, good magic- white magic- is all that is good for people and the world.  Black magic works against our good and our world.  Corruption is black. Apathy is black.
Love is blindingly white and gold.  Warm your world by encouraging interaction.  May the spark be with you.

The Magic Of Coincidence

I recently re-posted on facebook a video my granddaughter had made a couple of years ago just because I had enjoyed re-watching it. But I found out that my re-post had brought benefits such as comfort and joy to several of the people who were mutual friends. It made me think of all the times we do things and events are set in motion that we don't even know about. Karma is a term used by many people but we don't always think about the implications of it. I suggest that the wise magician will, as often as possible, direct his or her actions towards kindness, nurturing of others, reaching out to make positive changes in the world, courage and consideration. It can't hurt and you may have set all kinds of unknown events in action in an ever widening circle. This is sending coincidence out into the world. When coincidence comes to us it is also known as opportunity. Many times small coincidental events will happen that we respond to with open arms. These may open up new vistas in our life. I recently ran into an old friend and that meeting seems to have widened my life quite a bit, because we reconnected. Coincidence is not really in our control. But we can encourage it by being open and watching for it. Patterns and connections are all around us. Find ways to let awareness into your life. The energy of magic that surround us will be more evident to you. Reach out for a better life. Appreciate the way life reaches back. May the spark be with you.
