Curses and Blessings

Have you ever felt like there was an area in your life that was cursed? No matter what you did or how hard you tried nothing would go right for you. I know you have felt that way because we all have and we all do.

There is a dual quality to the magickal universe. When energy flows in one direction something else comes in to take its place. Nature does not allow a vacuum.

I look around the house and see electrical outlets everywhere. The wires run inside the walls where I can't see them. Guess what's running inside the wires? Electricity? Much more than electricity! Magnetic fields radiate from the wires. There is a pulsing you can almost hear. It's called the 60 cycle hum and if you've ever gotten a shock from it you will recognize the feeling.

But the biggest thing I want to point out is the type of electricity that runs through the walls and literally encases us in a magickal magnetic web. I'm talking about alternating current! The current flows in both directions back and forth. First it's positive, then it's negative.

Alternating current is a form of vibratory energy and the entire physical universe as well as the magickal universe consists largely of alternating current and magnetic force lines or astral cords.

Like the yin/yang symbol that is half male and half female the energy that flows through us is half outward expansive energy and half inward constricting energy. This is how nature keeps in balance. Life contains both and is bitter-sweet. Living a magickal life is bitter-sweet.

No matter what we do there are certain things we can't get because we repell them. Other things we don't want are attracted to us. Is that our curse? To repell the things we want and attract the things we don't want? Is that what life is about?

Magically speaking it is possible to attract the things we want and repell the things we don't want but it is very hard work to reach that stage of magickal development. It requires a complete reversal of the energy flow within us.

That means learning to see curses as blessings and blessings as curses.

Curses are opportunities to become aware of our weaknesses and work on them. They hit where we are the most vulnerable and not where we are strong. The only way to become strong is to develop our weak areas. This is what curses make us do. We struggle against them and learn from our mistakes. With trial and error we develop competency and then mastery. When that happens the curse is broken. It can't harm us anymore. The weak link becomes just as strong as the rest of the chain.

Blessings attract things to us that we haven't earned. They make life too easy and we take things for granted. Because things are so easy we don't try very hard. The simple truth is magickal development is about effort. If things are too easy we will not develop magickally.

In all of this there is both bad news and good news.

The bad news is there will always be magickal energy flowing against you. There will always be curses. The good news is there will always be energy flowing in your favor. There will always be blessings. This is the alternating current effect and it fills the entire universe. You can't get away from it. Life is bitter-sweet. Get used to it. Learn to love it.

How can you enjoy prosperity when those you love and care about are going through hard times? This is only an example. What good is having fancy toys to play with if there is no one to share them with you?

When one goal is reached another will take it's place. When one fear is confronted another will take its place as well. The answer lies not in the destination but in the quality of life along the way!

A Book of Shadows

Magick, Mystery and Madness

Have you ever fallen in love with the mystery and elusiveness of magick? Do the shadows make your pulse jump? Does energy work fill you with an intense pleasure?

I know that over the years it has done this for me and much more. What yearning can possess someone to seek initiations into secret organizations and knowledge? There is a hunger in my soul that only magick can fill and this book is for those like me.

In the subjective world of magick where everyone percieves differently there is one universal truth. Once you have experienced something magickal you can recognize when other people talk about similar experiences even when they use different words and concepts.

This is such a broad subject and there are so many places one could start.

I've chosen to begin my book of shadows with magick and it's ties to  physical reality. Contrary to what many believe magick is for those seeking material manifestations and intense physical living. It is not an escape from reality but an intense immersion into physical reality.

Magickal energy is generated by the physical body. It stands to reason that anyone seriously interested in magick will take good care of their physical body and treat it as the temple it truely is.

Extreme living is the norm for magickal practioners. Often excessive, compulsive behavior is needed to develop the magickal powers of the soul. Think about it. An intense energy drives people that are serious about magick.

So what is magick? It makes me almost puke to hear "change in conformity with will" or some other garbage.

Let me tell you what I've heard from sources I trust. The Rosicrucians claim that H.Spencer Lewis,former Imperator, was able to manifest gold alchemically in a public demonstration. Joseph Weed mentions that a Rosicrucian Master manifested physical roses falling in an auditorium. These roses had stems that tapered to points. They were not natural flowers.

These statements clearly state physical manifestations are possible. As a Rosicrucian of over twenty years I've studied the techniques claimed to manifest these things. I have not had such impressive results. I some day hope to find conclusive proof of this one way or the other.

What I have personally experienced is powerful transformative techniques that have changed my life. These have been magickal in every way. I have also experienced precognitive dreams on a regular basis that prove physical events must happen astrally before they manifest physically.

I have also experienced lucid dreaming in which the outcome of an event was altered through will and magickal effort. There is no doubt such dreams altered the potential outcome of physical events that happened the next day.

In summary, astral work or dream work can and does alter physical reality before it manifests. That is enough for me to believe in the value of magickal workings and the validity of astral phenomenon.

In the pages that follow we will explore the unseen magickal worlds and the path of personal development.
