MAGICK, WHAT IS IT? By: Pam Parker Learning to truly experience all that happens around us, to explore its meaning, its way of growing and interacting with the world around is a very important step forward on the path of discovering Magick. It is all around us, it is the interaction of life with itself, it is the balance of our lives. Teaching ourselves to have respect for ourselves and for all life around us creates a positive energy flow that goes out to fill the universe and ripple back to ourselves. Each of us must find our own truth and let it reverberate. All the wisdom we gain is but the echo of the truth we send forth. Michael Ravenspirit speaks quite beautifully on the subject of finding our own truth: "This is the beginnings, the middles, the ends. Let each of us rejoice in our own way, in our own time, not in our differences, but in our glorious commonality. Let each be willing and able to have a whole healed person standing before them each time they look into the mirror of their souls. The work, love and joy that we share makes each interdependent upon each. We cannot shake a strand in the web of life without affecting the entire web. All of life is change. All of life is choices. Choices are the constant river which flows and when we become one with that flow, the changes and the choices become positive living vibrations that ripple throughout the oceans of time. I choose positive creative choices. I invoke positive changes as a secure loving force. Take a breath, step into the waters of your existence and float upon the glory which is this moment, this life, this now. It is easy to believe in the things that we can see, touch, taste, smell, hear. It is the belief in those unseen parts of the universe which takes work. "Stand in wonder of the Medicine of the Universe. Make a wish, own it, have it, receive it, believe in yourself, because the Creators already do. As said in song, 'you can do Magick, you can do everything your heart desires.' Some may say that I look at this world of ours through rose-colored glasses. I choose to know that I am invoking the magicks, the medicines of the greater future reality into the now. So in a final analysis, when I'm asked 'what is Magick?', my answer is 'what isn't?'" The time of taking things for granted needs to be put behind us. We need to truly look at each and every moment of our lives as the precious miracles that they are. In this way we can not possibly fail to recognize the Magick that is inherent in all life. In Love and Light where Magick dwells. |
