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.

And Lastly, Spirit or Akasha represented by a white candle set in the center. At times I address Spirit as my higherself at others the Goddess, the
creator of all, the source of all power.
The elements emerge from spirit, the immutable changeless source of all energy. It is the spark of life. It is the energy that extends across the
universe that has not achieved form or substance.
This year I have made it a point to celebrate every full moon.

What is Magick? How does it work?
Three key steps to master on the magickal path are Meditation, The Art of Visualization and leaning to listen to your
Intuition. Magick is the practice of influencing energy to achieve a given goal. Energy flows through the universe,
through all things, through us. To work a successful spell you must harness and shape this energy. Through practice you
will learn to gather and direct energy while visualizing your intention.
There are different ways to gather energy . Some days it's a magical wind that charges my spirit. Others it's the beauty
of the day that calls me to calm and ground myself like a tree drawing energy from the earth through my root chakra. On
full moon nights I cast a circle and call to the elements to stand firm and lend their power to my intent.
Magick is ancient. Its traditions are scattered through the present day in unconscious remnants from the act of blowing a
dandelion, to making a birthday wish. Even the Christian calendar has retained many pagan practices.
So what is Magick? Well, the underlining principal can be summed up by that old phrase "for every action there is a
reaction". Before something can come to existence in this plane someone first must visualize it. Before a cake is baked
a recipe is consulted, before a house is built first an architect must conceive the plans...so it is with magick. You first
create a mental image of the result you wish to produce then you design a spell to achieve that purpose. You raise the
energy and then you release it to that purpose.
Magick is about creating synchronicity. Magick 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. Visualization is a
foundation of magick. When done correctly your visualization acts as a mold to pour the energy in and give it form. It is
a way of using your mind to create images that work both on the unconscious mind and on the outer world. At the same
time of course, you must do everything you can on the material plane to manifest your desire. You can visualize getting
the job you desire all you want but it's never going to happen unless you go in for that interview.
Remember Magick is a way of reprogramming the unconscious mind so we have a different set of expectations about how
the world will respond to us.
