| Living the Magickal Life Each today, well-lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and each tomorrow a vision of hope. Look, therefore, to this one day, for it and it alone is life. -- Sanskrit poem |

Natural Magick is not just a vehicle to manifest your desires. Natural Magick is a religion,
a way of connecting with the divine. Most of humanity has experienced their most moving
spiritual experience in nature. How inspiring is a thunderstorm or the sight of a brilliant
sunset? What emotions were elicited last time you caught the scent of a summer
rainstorm or felt the first cold nip in the morning as the seasons changed?
Living a magickal life is the process of living intuitively and acknowledging the presence
of your guides, to listen to their messages and to see the magick at work in your
everyday life. It is a way to connect with nature and move within the slower, more
harmonious rhythms of life.
Natural magick is about learning to work with the cosmic tides of the universe,
connecting with the knowledge of creation and surfing that energy and directing it with
ones intent.
Magick is a tool of self-transformation.
When I began walking the magickal path I began to see the magick in the natural world
around me, in the beauty of the setting sun, in the glory of the full moon, in the wonder
of a butterfly sipping nectar from a blossom
Indeed that knowledge transformed my world and transformed my life, as I opened my
perception of things around me and became aware of the magick that had been at work
in my life all along.
Every morning no matter what is going on, I find a few moments for meditation. While 30
minutes is ideal, 15 minutes is acceptable and, in a pinch, 10 will suffice…but I can't say
enough about how important it is to go inward and listen to the world, yourself and your
guides before taking on your schedule. My best days begin with morning energy work to
rejuvenate my aura, energize and open my chakras or a simple meditation to ground
myself.
I understand how easy it is for one to become disconnected from the natural world in this
modern, indoor age but if you aspire to live a magickal life it is important to be aware of
the timing of the natural world and what is going on in it.
A key component to a successful spell is the phase and aspect of the moon. At the new
moon we begin projects. We plant auspicious energy to bloom at the full moon and we
work with banishing and decrease with the waning cycle. It is also important to take into
consideration the aspect of the moon when working with the moon's energy. When the
Moon is in a cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) do work to generate ideas and
get things started. When the moon is in a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius)
maintain follow-through and aim for completion. When the moon is in a mutable sign
(Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) gather loose ends and take care of details.
Seasonal awareness, awareness of the solstices and equinoxes and reflecting seasonal
changes in our own person practices, allows us to attune our own personal energy to the
energy of the natural world. Celebrating these ancient rituals are a way of attuning with
the magical tides, to recognize the rhythms of life, death and rebirth. Living a magickal
life is a way of living and working with nature to harmonize with the world and to
recognize that we are a part of it.
Practicing daily ritual is also a key stone of the magickal life. There are many simple
ways to incorporate ritual into our daily lives: keeping an alter, lighting a morning candle,
whispering a morning prayer of gratitude, silently focusing only on your breathing as you
visualize what you want to accomplish during the day… all of these are examples of
simple morning rituals and all of these work to pull your awareness from the mundane
and shift it to the sacred. Through daily rituals we are able to recalibrate our energy and
connect with the divine.
