Magick
is the movement of energy, or other forces, moved by will, concentration,
and visualization, to create neccessary changes in one's environment. To
be able to controll these energys you use your mind, some witches use tools
to help them focus or to magnify their concentration. Meditation will help
you in concentrating and focusing, for information and tips on meditation
go here. Controlling these energys you are able to controll things. Magick
should not be used selfishly or to harm anyone. Anyone can do magick, but
a wise Witch will know when to do magick to accomplish a task and when to
leave magick out of a task. Magick is practiced for positive purposes, spiritual
and psychic development, healing, to attune with the forces of nature or
to make you feel better yourself in some way. Rituals usually are performed
at the New and Full Moons, and at eight Sabbat festivals which mark the
wheel of the year and the changing of the seasons, although you can do magick
and rituals every day if you wishes. |
