| Foundations of Magick Every intentional act is a magical act ~Aleister Crowley |
Natural Magick involves using the mind and the properties of natural things.
To increase the energy you are calling on, work on the day of the week, use a colored candle or dress in clothing that is most
auspicious for manifesting your intent. Working in Harmony with Elemental Energies is also key in successful spellwork.
Knowledge and understanding of the Elements is essential for creating magick. Almost every aspect of spellwork relates back to
the elements in some way.

The four tenets of magick are 'To Know, To Dare, To Will, To Keep Silent'
Magick is ancient. Though much has been forgotten, its traditions are scattered through the present day in unconscious remnants
from the act of wishing upon a dandelion, to blowing out birthday candles. So what is Magick? What traditional witchcraft is really
about on its practical side is accessing the hidden powers of the human mind and finding the links that echo through the Universe.
For every spellcaster knows there is a truth that is greater than he can see or comprehend, but that by acting on that which he can
understand he may perhaps influence other things associated with it.
So how does magick work? All spells are symbolic acts first conceive in the mind, and believed in the mind, to become reality. So
before something can come to existence, someone first must visualize it....and it goes back to early civilization....When early man
settled an area that allowed plant life to flourish, agricultural societies prospered allowing for the pursuit of higher ideas. In areas
where grain could thrive, civilizations grew, cultivating religion with man's evolving ability to sense the changing seasons and note
the motions of the celestial bodies.
The modern spellcaster still strives to connect to this natural energy following the natural progression of the agriculture year as it
falls into four quarters based on the movements of the sun at the solstices and equinoxes. Seasonal awareness, awareness of the
solstices and equinoxes and reflecting seasonal changes in our own personal practices, allows us to calibrate our energy to the
energies of the natural world. Celebrating these ancient rituals is a way to attune ourselves with the magical tides, to recognize the
rhythms of life, death and rebirth. Living in tune with the seasons is a way of living and working with nature to harmonize with the
world and to recognize that we are a part of it.
So how does it work? Well, magick is about visualizing what you desire and working to manifest it on the physical plane. Magick is
about creating synchronicity. The magick spell helps create the right conditions to achieve your goals but to make it work, you must
create the necessary channels for energy to manifest itself on the material plane and you do this with intent.
