I Want to Do Spells!

     Well, I'm afraid you have come to the wrong place. Magic is not like what you see on TV. There is no such thing as "Buffy" or "The Craft" or "Charmed." These shows are made up by people who have no idea what magic is. They just want to make something that looks cool to get you to watch their television station. You are never going to learn how to fly, or how to shoot lightning from your fingertips, or how to light candles with your mind. These things do not happen in real life. The first step to understanding magic is to understand that television is make-believe.

     That said, there are many things that witchcraft does teach. Witchcraft teaches you to love yourself and others. It teaches you the rhythms of nature and how to understand the language of the animals and the trees. Witchcraft teaches people how to be kind and generous and to see the good and the evil in everyone. Magic is not about getting what you want. It does not work that way.

So Then, What is Witchcraft, Really?

     Witchcraft follows the rules of nature. Basically, if something can happen, then you can make it happen. For example. Weather changes, healing, speaking to animals (not actually speaking with words, but with your mind), finding your true love, and feeling beautiful are all things that you can make happen. Sometimes some of these things seem unbelievable, like weather changes. Be advised, you won't be able to bring down a tornado or suddenly create wind or a torrential downpour. Magick works slowly, unlike the flashy crap you see on those cheesy TV shows. You won't see any twinkle or lightning. And nothing is going to fly from your fingertips.

     Magic is the art of teaching your mind to make changes subconsciously. The human mind is a powerful thing. It is strong enough to make someone ugly or beautiful. It can even cause your body to heal itself after severe physical and emotional trauma. Magic works on the same premise as prayer and has everything to do with the mind.

     For example, you have probably seen ways in which the mind can bring about change in your everyday life. Sports players often use mind power to overcome obstacles or push themselves to do things they could not otherwise do. Also when you go to the doctor it can sometimes take a considerable amount of will-power to get a shot or force your body to sit still for something painful. Have you ever held back a gag reflex? Sometimes a person's mind power over their body is so strong they can make themselves vomit just by thinking about it. This willpower can help you to overcome obstacles in your life and make changes within your body as well as without.
