Magic

Magic, the craft, the art of the esoteric. For some, magic is a way to rationalize the unknowns in the World. For others, magic is part of their World. Magic can be an expression used to describe or an expressed way to apply according to your personal belief system. Are miracles a form of magic? Does magic only affect a believer? Does cultural influence determine the importance of magic both directly and indirectly?

     Magic has roots in all cultures and across the Globe historically. Does magic have to be a supernatural phenomenon? Is love the “most powerful magic of all” as the fairy-tales prescribe? Id magic all a ruse with an explanation available that may just be unexplained at the time? Did the magic of the Goods help the Vikings sail so good and accurate or was it simple science of a compass invention that no one knew to call a compass or how to explain the methodology and science behind the principle functionality of such a now days simplistic device. What magic would our elders of viewed Wi-Fi or Google maps as if such was exposed to them at their time?

     Does science takeaway from magic or does it add to it? I for one think it is quite magical to be able to fly, or to teleconference/communicate with people around the World in real time or find a vaccine for a deadly plague/virus in less than a year! According to Encyclopedia Britannica magic is simply a way of thinking about invisible forces that influence events or create changes or illusions of changes in circumstance or through happenstance. Well, this could be the explanation for hypnosis, NLP after all was founded on the basis of hypnosis and behavioral change. The powerful mind is most certainly an invisible force opened further for some and closed too tight for others, is it not?

     There are said to be varying types of magic with that old adage of good and evil in the mix of course too. White magic = good magic, while dark magic = bad magic. Is intention always the influence of result when it comes to magic? I would opine that intention and result in the non-magical World are two distinct elements and often times differ. Is this the same for magic, or does intention always determine the outcome? Practitioners of magic include mystic, and scholar alike if one is to accept the operating definition determined by the literature. Whatever your thoughts about magic are or are not, one thing is indisputable, there is unknown forces in this World that effect humanity as a collective and individually. The mind is a gateway of control for us all and try as we might, there will always be things that happen that we will not be able to explain away or justify with evidence – at least not at that time in space and version of reality.

Types of magic:

Elemental magic – use of the water, wind, fire, and air

Ancestral magic – use of the spirits and the ancients, a call of power or wisdom from beyond our reach

Earth magic – use of plants and animals and other Earthly combinations of tinctures, potions, rubs, oils, concoctions

Ceremonial magic – use of chants, and spells, rituals, and items like ruin stones, or drawings and artifacts in the performance of the ceremony

Sex magic – Tantra, Kundalini, Jin control or release, and seduction meant to transcend into an altered state as a result of the orgasmic ecstasy induced or prohibited. 

(For purposes of this article we left out the darker forms of practiced magic)

     Magic is far beyond the discussion here and believe it or not is a choice. However, the indirect results of any believer seem to influence World events – one believer of a Deity or Dogma in a place may take an action or inaction that affected hundreds of thousands in a completely separated place – history shows us this is true and without doubt. In fact, some actions of faith or belief have influenced 100’s of years of thinking after the single act was taken or the few words where whispered into an ear of an influential person.
