The Noble Pagan Forums - A Few Thoughts

the other day i was thinking just what is magick?? a few things hit
me last night at 2 in the morning, please bare with me while i try to
sort them out.

to me magick is a rainbow after a devistating storm, the fact that
people can pick up an rebuild just because that rainbow is there.
magick is a volcano erupting, causing massive destruction, yet at the
same time, rebuilding the earth.

to me magick is a baby's smile. your pets unconditional love, the
fact they seem to know exactly when you need them to be there for you
without a word being said. the whisperings of your first love, or
even your last love, and every love inbetween.

to me magick is being honored with being in the room when someone
crosses over. with being honored to be allowed to be in the room when
a life comes into this world. and to realize what an honor both of
those things are.

to me magick is that jolt that you feel when you meet that someone
right, whether that person is right for a few minutes, a few months,
a few years, or even that right someone. its the fact that you have
come to love yourself, and know even if that person is the right one,
you don't NEED that person to make you feel good about yourself,
because you already do.

to me magick is looking at the stars and wondering, what is out
there?? that moment of discovery when suddenly something all clicks,
even if its as simple as your homework, or finding that cure for that
thing you've been looking for. that feeling of accomplishment, when
you finish a project, its done and you know YOU did it!!

to me magick is not the fact that we cast spells to solve every
problem, but the fact that we can solve problems, even without
spells. the fact that when we need to we can cast a spell, say a
prayer, or do whatever.

these are just a few things magick is to me......but most of all to
me magick is the ability to believe. believe in what?? does it really
matter in the end?? its just the ability to believe.

To me Magick is the power of Yoga. I can walk in there with a bad additude, having a horrible day and within an hour I'm right as rain.

To me Magick is the power of words from a familiar and loving face. The words you desperately need to hear when you feel like your world is falling apart.

To me Magick is the power of friendship and love. Time and distance cannot hold a candle to the power and magick friendship holds.

To me Magick is the first blossom in spring. Winter was long and harsh, the snow has barely begun to melt but you can see the buds on the trees and within a few weeks a blossom will open.

To me Magick is racing the wind. Running down a hill side with the wind licking at the heels of your feet. You almost feel as though it could lift you off the ground and carry you away. Sometimes you even want to ask "Where are you going?" but the answer is "I'm already there."

To me...Magick is not a definition because these sensations, feelings, moments, memories, seasons...they will all be met, felt and seen differently. Magick simply is and what it can be.
