How Magic Works 

Everything is energy. 

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change

form. Magic is a form of natural science, working with

energies, understanding them and directing them in

conjunction with the will of the practitioner to bring about

needed change.

All matter is made from protons, neutrons and electrons -

which in turn are made up of quarks - or vibration waves. We

use magic to send out a vibrational signal to the universe

to attract or repel energy depending on our desires.

Of course we do this on a daily basis every single day

through various means.

Verbal -“Can you get me a cup of coffee honey”

 

Written - well you’re reading this aren’t you. 

Non-verbal - Everyone remembers the ’stare of doom’ from an

angry parent, dressing to impress, fragrancing the home to

make it inviting etc.

All of these methods are designed to elicit a response. When

we cast a spell we are either sending a message e.g.

healing, banishing - or we are looking to receive a desired

response e.g. inspiration, love/friendship, prosperity etc.

In both cases, a magic spell is designed to create a signal

that will project or attract the required effect. By using

tools with a similar or complementary vibration we can

produce a stronger, more focused signal.

An everyday example:

If we went for a job interview we would wear smart clothes,

choose a pleasant aftershave/perfume, apply neutral make-up

and adopt a professional demeanour.

All of these steps are usual in themselves, but combined,

result in a focused approach to the job interview – 

increasing the chances of success.

In magic the most common tools that are utilised are herbs,

crystals, rituals, the petitioning of deities, incense, oils

and colours to name but a few.

So how do we know this works?

Through thousands of years of experimentation, story telling

and record keeping, this information has been passed from

generation to generation. The simple truth is that if these

tools did not work, then their use would not be remembered.

Often referred to as correspondences, this information is

now readily available in books and on the internet.

Once the appropriate tools have been selected, they need to

be used in a way that harnesses the personal power of the

spell.

Many people ask 'How long will it take a spell to work?'

the success and/or failure of any spell depends on several

factors, so there is no concrete answer, but generally

spells take about 21-28 days to take effect, bear in mind

that the results may not been seen immediately.

Checklist:

*Moon Phase - the moon affects our planet, our bodies and

our moods, choose the correct phase for casting your spell.

power, success and important spells; Waning Moon to rid

*Correct Material and Supplies - the supplies that you

use should correspond with each other e.g. candles, herbs,

oils; all of the ingredients and tools that you use should

have a vibration that is related to what you are trying to

accomplish.

*Mental Condition - You must have faith in yourself and

be in the right frame of mind to cast a spell. Your mood

should reflect the spell you are casting - for example you

should not cast a Love Spell when you are angry. Believe in

your work and have no doubts. You cannot expect a spell to

work if you do not believe it will.

*Universal Will - The Universe has a tendency to give us

what we need rather than what we want in life, so a spell

may manifest within days or after a couple of months.

*Re-enforcement - Before during and after your spell

remain positive about the outcome, this re-enforces the

energies you have already sent out. If you want an

employment spell to work, you need to go out and actively

seek employment - you cannot sit at home and expect a job to

drop into your lap, instead you need to HELP the spell by

giving it opportunities to manifest.

Positive thinking = positive outcome.

If after 28 days have passed and you feel you've seen no

outcome there is nothing to stop you from repeating the

spell; use divination techniques such as pendulum dowsing or

card readings to look for reasons why the spell may not have

manifested in that time.

It is important to keep records of your magical workings,

you will find these notes to be useful for future reference

and/or help you refine your techniques.

It is also important to remember the Law of Attraction i.e.

like attracts like - any energy that you send out will

eventually return to you, so think carefully before sending

any destructive signals. T S Elliot put it perfectly when he

said “Do I dare disturb the universe?”

Before undertaking any magical act, ask yourself this

question and if you are unsure then go back to the books,

discuss the options with friends or forum members.

Pay attention to your personal energy and intuition, when

the time is right - send your magick, and let the universe

respond.

Draw a bath for yourself.
