| Living an Enchanted Exisitance |
| I am currently reading a terrifict book by Patricia Telesco called "An Enchanted Life" and it has reminded me, or better to say, reawakened me to the idea that I already live an enchanted exisitance every day. I take care to pay attention to the mundane moments in my day and charge them with enchanting energy. I make simple every day tasks symbolic. Such as taking out the trash, I symbolise this daily chore with cleaning out the clutter and baggage from my past. I take it out to the trash to be disposed of. The same with washing the windows of my home. I make washing the windows and mirrors an eye opening experience. As windows are always the eyes to the soul of a home, when I wash them (as well as mirrors) I am seeing my soul and my soul's purpose more clearly. Anyone who knows me is already aware that they rarely come into my house twice and see it the same way. My husband and I are constantly re-arranging furniture and reshaping our individual rooms. The living room and kitchen are often the most often rearranged. I see this as a sweeping and cleaning out of old energy and breathing new life into the room and into it's daily usage. It just makes the whole house feel new when the living room is different. I also make my morning coffee a ritual for magick. I often stir my coffee clockwise to symbolize bringing in positive energy into the day by infusing it into my morning drink and then internalizing it when I consume it. Or if I'm having difficulty with a personal situation, I will stir my coffee counter-clockwise to release the negativity and blocks that restrict my creative problem solving. Even things as simple as bedsheets. Think of this handy incantation next time you and your spouse are having an argument. Remove your sheets to wash them, pillow cases and all. With the removal of each sheet, continously chant: "With each sheet that I take off, let the anger cease and bring resolve." And later, when you put clean sheets back on the bed, chant "With each sheet that I replace, bring love back in this happy place." This is a great one that I practice alot. It's a normal activity that we all have to do, but we can make it special and allow it to solve our special needs. It's all in the intention and symbolism. Why not take a few moments today and jot down some of your normal taks you do every day. Taking out the trash, showering, (showering at the end of the day is a great way to wash off negativity from a tense day at the office), cooking for your family, etc and find a way to make each one of them enchanted in a way. I hope you take time to honor the place in yourselves where the enchantment lives. We all have the beauty of intuition and magic within us. Let it out!
