Magick

Magick or is it Magic?

Someone recently asked me to teach Magick to them.  Most, I venture, do not even know what that word means.  They may think that they do, but hey, if all we had to do was think, then things should be pretty fantastic, right?  Yet so often we are left in a quandary, knowing that we do not really know, just because we think it is so.

Magic - Are we talking parlor tricks, deception, manipulation, willpower, intent, multiple realities?  Or maybe I just want to know that what I see or perceive is knowable, determinable, influenceable.

Ahh influenceable!  Now there's a notion.  Can we actually influence our environment?  String theory says yes, but better yet, why would you want to?  Now, back to Magick, or did we ever leave?

Yes, magic - can you see the wind?  Magic - can you hear and feel nothingness?  Magic - can you reach both ways in time?  Are all sounds equally pertinent or relevant, or are some sounds revealing what we need to hear?  Be free to pay attention.  Is there a path or just our lives?  Make sure you allow yourself room to be free of encumbrances.

Magic is mystery, mysticism.  Magic is being able to let go, or is it let glow?  Me thinks they are the same. Poor Aleister I knew him well. He just did not want to sell himself short.  Looks like he had a very interesting life!
