Magick, Boundless Magick

Have you written any new spells lately? What are you declaring? What would happen if you appeared as your true self?

Do you remember reading something like this long ago…?

Eye of newt,

Leg of Toad,

Blood of Bat,

Pinch of woad.

Three times left,

Three times point,

Have this desire,

And never say want.

This witchy ditty is typical of many coded spells written in days of old. These beguiling verses, boiled in mystical brews, require

you to do some hunting. In the universe, the intensity of thoughts is doubly efficient when transformed into words. The

thought (lightening bolt) is imprinted. Mind energy has changed into matter. You have made a definite move to claim whatever

you created in your imagination. It is transfigured. This is the power of a spell.

A fool can utter sentences and hurl them at the moon, but a fool cannot catch the meaning of what has been done. A thought 

was performed, and will seek its end. Nothing is muffled in the eternal space. To modern people, seemingly laughable spells could

not possibly work. Sophistication snubs the ancient arts, ignoring the vastness of the mind, yet the forces of eternity are ever

prompting and instructing us. The trail is laid. Never disregard the tiny, even unseen matters in life. You will find that detail is the

basic ingredient of any potent infusion. One needs acute concentration, and a devotion to lift the Higher Self. The scrolls are 

closed to those who are skimming for amusement.

Develop your five physical senses, feeling for what must be used. Stimulate them by slowing down every action, observing how 

life proceeds. Cultivate a garden of herbs and get into that soil everyday. Know that unborn seeds are rising, wiggling to enter the

sunlight so they may produce life for you. Chop up wet, chilled parsley. Smell it, glide it over your face and throat. After a while, 

it will speak to you. Do the same with lavender. Soon, you begin to hear, inside and out of your being. Use water frequently in 

bathing and drink. It is necessary to the spark in your soul. Fondle every part of a rose. Dance on the grass when the morning 

star passes over. Taste the utterly fascinating midnight air. Thrill to starlight, capsules of energy. Can you bear the stillness? 

This is how we first walk our senses.

Acquire your personal book for the writing of notes, and anything that might vanish before you record it. Special moments occur 

which you must hasten to jot down. Your book is yours alone. Keep it secure. Manifest your own grimoire, perhaps on handmade 

paper, embedding the whole with vibrations, which is to your advantage. Paste onto the pages little things that you pick up here 

and there that seem to call out for your attention… sprigs of herbs, a poet’s flower, seeds, photographs. Whatever you feel is 

part of you. Look again and again.

Keep an inkpot and pen for the journal. A wooden shaft on the pen that you can engrave and embellish will indicate to your mind 

that whenever you use it, you are within the magick circle of a ritual. This is the purpose of sacred instruments and garments. 

They separate you from the heavy, earthy aspect that our physical bodies need to exist. What we are doing is entering a spiritual

dimension. This is where our soul longs to be for nourishment. It is the most natural place for our minds to be. Look to the well of 

wisdom. Who are you? What are you declaring? What would happen if you appeared as your true self? These are mighty questions,

but you know them all. Enter the Higher Self which lives forever within the inner of the inner chambers. Forget not that the 

physical you might be interested in the price of bread, but your Higher Self craves knowledge.

Title: Bubble World

Artist: Josephine Wall 

"In the universe of bubbles, each shimmering orb contains a world all its own. Some are filled with rainbow rivers, tranquillity and peace, while others provide a glimpse into exotic adventures in faraway places. Together the two friends watch with curiosity to see which of the floating images will merge with each other into a brand new world. Will they transform into worlds where new images are caught or will they timelessly float just out of reach?"

Title: Sea Spell 

Artist: Rossetti, Dante Gabriel
