Dance in Magic
 
     Dance is an ancient ritual practice. It's can also be a magical act, for physical movement releases energy from the body, the same energy used in magic. This "secret" was discovered early, and so dance was incorporated into magick and ritual to raise energy , to alter consciousness or simply to honor the Divine with ritual performances.
     Group dances such as the spiral dance, are often performed in coven workings. In individual workings, however, you're bound by no tradition or choreographed steps. Feel free to move in any manner you wish, no matter how child like or "savage" it may seem In magick many people perform a short spell or ritual manipulations of some kind and then perform the real magic: raising and channeling magical energy. They often move in a increasingly faster clock wise circle around the altar, either alone or with a coven, watching the candles flaming on the altar, smelling the incense, overwhelming themselves with chanting and intense visualization.
     When the practitioner has reached the point of no return, the exact moment when the body can raise and channel no more energy, the power is released toward the magical goal. To do this, some collapse to the ground, signaling the end of what is rather peculiarly called "The Dance." Dancing is used to raise energy as well as to facilitate attunement with the Deities of nature. Dance as the wild wind; as the stream rushing down a mountain, a flame flickering from a lightning struck tree, as grains of sand bouncing off each other in a gale, as flowers unfolding their brilliance on a sunny summer afternoon.
     As you dance, using what ever movements you wish, open yourself to the Divine. Think for a moment of the whirling dervishes, the untamed Gypsy dances of Europe, the sensuous belly dancing of the Middle East, and the sacred hula of old Hawaii. Dance is one of the paths to Deity.

  The modern evolution of this (least how i see it) is concert magic. Mosh pitting is of course my fav . This type of magick involves using or redirecting the energy that is being radiated from the many members in the concert to one's own personal wishes. I hear alot of DJ's (and bands in my experiance) will put on certain types of dance music followed by serveal laser sigils which are projected unto the walls and unto the people themselves. A subconcious responce is then triggered as people give conscious awareness to these various peices of art. Thus, the sigil gets charged by a large number of people who are exerting a large amount of energy.
  My suggestion though is that concert magic be used for direct or near instantanious results for long term projects tend to become very obscured and complicated due to the abundance of energy patterns that were used to enact the spell. From personal use, I've only found failure because my magik is not usually a direct push, but a long term strand. Especially when the purpose for use was to charge a personal thot-form (heh looking back, it was prolly silly to do it with that source in the first place). But of course, people get differant results based upon their own personal ways of doing things. So just take this system as yet another in many and use it as u will or won't.
