Greetings to you.
In this post we speak of magick, What is magick you say?
Magick comes in many forms, but most essentially it is divided into three categories. 1. Natural magic, it is most known to be of witchcraft. Natural magic comes from the understanding of 'how' nature corresponds to our mind and such uses of herbs as a 'mix' with spells. But that doesn't make natural magic itself, so what does?
As what Cornelius Agrippa would say (An author of good books whom made the occult wider whilst its dying era in the past, a post will be made about him later)
"is the most perfect, and chief science, that sacred, and sublimer kind of philosophy and lastly the most absolute perfection of all most excellent philosophy." Three Books of Occult Philosophy Bk.I, Chap. 2 (Tyson ed.) page 5. This comes as something of a surprise to moderns who generally think of magic as superstitious nonsense or an entertainer in a tuxedo pulling a rabbit out of a hat." -- Natural magic -- is of material properties, an understanding of the dimensional making in this world, thus its understanding is made an occurrence with the mind, be ventured with Magic, which is much of spells and witchery. To give an example of this, you would use candles, herbs, verbal speaking and your will to make a manifestation occur. Though it is not limited to this, you may use sigils, the elder futhark runes, and much more. However, this also can be seen as practical magick. For what is most popular today, love, wealth spells are best known to be seen as natural magic. The use of Red candles, and corresponding incense (Rose), and upon it an affirmation/chant for its simple making(Love spell) is very basic witchcraft. That does not make natural magic as a whole keep in mind. This is a short summary of what can be made, and what natural magic can be looked upon as.
Divine magic - What makes of it?
Coming with Divine magic must come with it the understanding of spiritual knowledge. The communication of entities, theurgy, and theology. The contemplation that can be seen by the experience of the Psyche, which abilities come thereof after several practices. Clairvoyance, clairaudience, energy sensitivity and more. To its manifestation you committeth your will, exerting its properties to your desires, it is you who is the Divine being for the divine flows within us all, granting us the ability to create or destroy. Take auras as like bubbles that shroud your very being. It is your reality that you can manipulate, the use of rituals can be transcending because of this.
Celestial Magic - The application of Stars, this is much of astrological magic, using zodiac energies as an influence to your life. One of the most potent forms of magic is of Planetary magick. This is understanding the energies of celestial objects and how to use them, it can do much more than assist you if you allow it to. It is an upheaval if you aren't careful enough, if you haven't learned much of Saturn and used it, it may backfire for instance. This applies to everything you do as a Witch, Magus..etc.
Black/White Magick, to say and label magick itself is just nonsense for it is the practitioner that makes use of it. The user of whether be it Black/white/grey type of magick, it can be damaging if you don't know what you are doing. Black magick isn't necessarily bad if you use it as justice and defense against forces you may not understand properly as a beginner. White Magick is seen as always of good intentions, which it is. Though, it can be i'm-balancing you if you're using the wrong elemental workings, for example, so does that make it black magick? No. This would give the perspective on what I'm trying to explain, magick is just magick. The user of magick is what makes magick black/white + Rest of the colors, now I said colors, and what would entail?
Now magick has many purposes, sex magick, money magick. It is of many things. Remember this, it is your mind exerting its force creating its desired result. Personally, I have practiced sex magick before and it definitely is powerful for you're using your sexual organs as a source of energy. There are many ways soon that you may learn how sex magick can attract the lover you need with only but sexual energy itself, now magick is more than just simply of three divisions. Though, that is what is mostly categorized by for many of grimoires and rituals/spells are based of these three categories. Magick can also be used with only your aura by manipulating it under various mantras for example, but this is aura magick. Mantra magick would be seen as using OM for instance and adding an affirmation such as "I am creating a peaceful space", so now you got the idea. You can make magick whatever you want it to be. You first need to learn how to use Mind and energy.
Magick doesn't work? (How to make it work)
One way to look at this is, why do you think your magick doesn't work? Have you felt energy or opened your energy pathways? If not, then think again. Using energy and to feel it is essential for magick to work. Otherwise, you wouldn't know what you're doing, so the Chakras, yoga, pranayama (Breathing exercises, which can be found in "Initiations into Hermetics" by Franz Bardon), and many other books you may find are helpful to feel energy and to awaken you deeper. You may also find these spiritual practices online too, they become essential to your advancement of how good your 'will' can be exerted, and how much energy you're using. Just like with astral projection, you feel the vibrations in order to project out of your body. One of the easiest ways to feel energy is to do "Hatha Yoga", Kundalini Yoga is to advance your Chakra system and psyche, and more too. There shall be more posts to be made of this soon, I hope everyone here enjoyed this post. This too is helpful, but as well as more westernized versions, if you will. Such as Hermetic Yoga, now to start with magick you need to practice this as it is very much recommended. Western versions in my experience are helpful for whatever its practice is based upon, Hermetics, Transcending rituals. Whatever the use of it, it may be.
This is a complete summary of what Magick is, and how to use it in your life. Follow up for other upcoming posts prior to this, "Solving problems with magick", "Experimenting with magick".
Thanks to all my dearest friends here.
