Magick as Spiritual Practice

by Ananaia O'Leary

 


“Magick?” you say. “Poppycock! Nonsense!!”

But magick is a far cry from non-sense … it is indeed deep-sense. Delving deep into the rich soil, drawing up the fertile wisdom of Nature and Life itself. Soaring deep into the realms of Space and Cosmos, drawing down the blessings of Spirit and Divine Source. Reaching deep into the past for sustenance, drawing forth the ancient wisdom of Earth’s first peoples. Turning deep inside ourselves, drawing on the flame of True Will which burns within.

Where these lines of force meet — Humanity, Nature, and Divine Source — there lies magick. True magick is a subtle partnership of Human consciousness with the consciousness of Creator and Creation. When we begin to understand our own Divine Spark and it’s role in relationship with Nature, we begin to comprehend the power and responsibility offered to us: kinship with the forces of creation and the obligation to wield that power wisely in alignment with Spirit. We cannot claim one without the other and retain balance.

We have the subtle, yet tangible ability to engage the creative process consciously. To open our eyes to the strands of the web which we weave each moment of our lives ... to claim ownership of that which we have co-created ... to heal that which no longer serves us … to open a pathway of evolution which reunites us with the Source.

To embrace magick as spiritual practice is to recognize magick as both journey and destination . It is, perhaps, a paradox that in order to reclaim our birthright as conscious co-creators we must first act on the faith that we have such power. For it is this faith (or at least a willing suspension of disbelief) which opens the doorway for magick. 

Open that doorway even a sliver and you begin to welcome connection to Source and Nature which resonates with your deepest core. In that moment of connection all things change.

It is from that core of wisdom within that we are called to create. Not from Ego, but from our True Divine Will. Thus our first task is to distinguish between the two, honoring each for their role and service to us, while developing communication and trust amongst Ego, Spirit & Source.

When we learn to listen and respond, the universe conspires on our behalf to support us in sharing the gifts and service we came to offer the world. As we engage more deeply, we find ourselves in magickal partnership with Source and Nature, working together to ensure evolution and balance.

Our world is alive with Spirit and magick. We are surrounded by Spirit Allies who offer generous guidance — not to sway us from our course, but rather to amplify our ability to stay the course… to act strongly, bravely, steadily, fiercely, joyously in alignment with our highest purpose. We are called.


Are you ready for magick?
