Magic Shadow Book

Magic is an art of controling energy , and it’s strength derives from the depth of a human soul. Unwittingly it is hidden in everyone, and under the surface it is hiding various possibilities and potentials, waiting to be drawn to the surface to achieve the goal that is being set.

Magic is an art, ability to recognize the inner strength and focusing the energy with a certain goal. Every magical act is a communication with a higher entity (god, godess or other deities). Magic goes beyond the boundries of the natural world and goes directly to the cause and result. The result in magic can be exactly predicted, and the same magical rituals don’t give always the same result. It varies from person to person, depending on the inner strength and the ability to control the energy.

Magic, just like a river, always searches for the closest way to the sea. When the wish is defined and the ritual is performed, the magic seeks for the closest way towards the fulfillment of the wish. Magic opens many possibilities, and an adept magic practician (called a witch or a mage), recognizes them and uses them as best solutions, because in the contrary, they will be lost. If you wish to eat an apple, magic will put the apple in your hand, but you have to bite it yourself.

If there are any obstacles on the way to the desired result, magic helps to overcome them, even if they seem insuperable. If extraordinary, spectacular results are needed, magic is spectacular. One of the aspects of magic is, that it is unbound and is not limited with time. A magical result can appear even before the perfoming of the ritual. This can sound as fantastic to those who haven’t experienced magic yet, because you don’t have to know how magic works in order to use it. In many cultures magic is being practised by regular, often unskilled people, in order to overcome everyday problems.

There are a lot of sorts of magics: natural magic, ritual magic, high magic, ceremonial magic and every branch is slightly different form the others, in some rituals, ceremonies or practice. But the basics and the roots in magic stay always the same. The difference between the branches of magic arises in the individual approach of the practicians, the difference in cultures, language and the variaties of the deities they worship. Different variations manifest even inside the same branches of magic, especially in the same rituals and magic spells which are adapted to the individual for his easier visualisation and experiencing the personal energy.

In natural magic, there is a theory that many objects in the nature (rocks, roots, plants, bones of the animals) are interconnected. For example Rose Quartz represents love and love rituals, the spice cinnamon is associated to money and wealth, moss is associated with money winnings and games of chance. In this branch there is a connection between the objects and their magical simbolics and the magical attributes that arise from old doctrines and learnings which unite the spiritual, the nature, the learnings and the alchemy. Witchery in the natural magic often does not include elements of invoking deities, prayers or ritual structures. Here are only being used the magical atributes of the herbs, rocks or objectes for magic to be performed and acomplished. In some traditions, wicce or paganism magic is the reality of the divine. The practician then invokes a god or a goddess so they take part in the rituals. For example, performing the love magic, the person would want to invoke the goddess Aphrodite to take part in the magic ritual. A person who is moving in in a new home will invoke Brighit or Frey, godess of love and home.

Some magic branches believe that only the exact goal and a strong will are needed for the completion of a magical act. In this branch candles, herbs and objects are not that important, but can serve for easier visualisation. Magic won’t solve all of your problems, but if it is being used carefully and correctly, can be a very useful medium that will ease your everyday life and often it will surprise you with the extraordinary results, will make you stronger and happier.

In magic, i often stumble upon one question: „ Is magic real?“ Some claim it is, others that it’s not. Magic cannot be scientifically explained, because it does not always have the same result and sometimes looks like pure luck. But the best way to find out if it is real or not is to experiment a bit. Try to perform any spell (a protection spell, attracting money spell, attracting love spell) and write down your result. Sometimes you’ll be really amazed how a simple magic can have a strong effect. Like any other ability, magic must be practised, perfected and cared for. Most people already quit after first failed attempt. That’s just a sign that the ritual needs to get perfected, the ability developed. Just like knowledge, it needs to be renewed. Remember your first attempt of riding your bicycle, or baking a cake. Maybe it didn’t work the first time, but you tried again in the belief that you will succeed. It’s the same with magic. This ability is within you and waiting to be freed.

Many people follow a certain magical branch, her beliefs and the represent themselves as wiccans, pagans or witches, but they have no sucess in performing rituals because they haven’t put any efford in learning how magic works. Like any other ability and talent, magic demands a certain knowledge and practice to be sucessfully applied. Learn, read, research, experiment and grow. If magic is real, why doesn’t everybody use it. In a certain way, many people do use it, even if they are not aware of it. Have you ever wished for something and blowed out the candles on a birthday cake? Crossed your fingers for good luck? Eagerly wanted a raise?

Many people haven’t heard of magic, or they associate it with something dark and evil. With curses, diseases, ugly witch-women, demons. Magic is often considered to be evil, people think that if something isn’t from God, it is therefore evil.On the other hand, magic is nothing from above. It is the opposite it. Magic is an ability like painting, often a people’s doctrine, natural, pure, a state of spirit, spitirutal and comforting.
