Other Gifts of Magick
Some of the suggestions below include a physical gift as well as a ritual or non-physical gift. Where we have links to articles describing certain techniques or rituals, feel free to print them off to share with a friend or family member as a gift or send them the link to the article online. Or just send them the link to our website where they can signup for the blog or newsletter and get a magickal gift that keeps giving all year round.

QUIET: Give yourself a day of peace and quiet. In a world of internet, cell phones, TV, and radio, a day of silence or quiet can be a true gift. Turn off the phone and don't invite in other stimuli such as TV. Sit, rest, take walks. Be quiet inside and out. Even half a day of quiet, without talking, can rejuvenate your spirit.

LET GO: Once you've had a chance to unwind, some old issues or problems that have been subconsciously nagging at you may surface. Take the time to let them go in a simple ceremony. Write them down on a sheet paper, appreciate them for the lessons they bring, then burn them. Cleanse yourself by burning some sage or incense afterward. Or you can consult the spirit of Owl and you may want to carry the owl totem figure with you throughout the day as a physical connection to this wise spirit.

CREATE SACRED SPACE: Daily life tends to introduce some junky energies into our living space. Take the time to create some sacred space in every room of your house. Do a regular room cleansing or use a sun candle to create sacred space.

START DOWN A MAGICAL PATH: Make a resolution that the coming year is the year you will start inviting magic into your life. Or if you already have a magical practice, recommit to it by resolving to perform an act of magic or daily ritual each and every day. We have ebooks, Kindle books, or our Everyday Magic Email Course that can help you keep this resolution easily. Or just pick a different article each day from our blog or the special member's library at shamanschool.com to give you ideas of simple magical acts to do daily.

Magick is very real and has existed as a precise science for thousands of years. Every single person can learn to do magick. We were ALL born with the talents and abilities that empower us to do magick. The only reason that magick seems so, well, magickal is that this society no longer teaches the art and science of magick. In the distant past, magickal study was just as important as math, science or the arts. Magick can help you manifest what you want and need in life, change old beliefs, balance your energies for healing and manifestation, defend yourself against physical and psychic attack, find hidden information and see possible futures, psychically communicate with other beings, bring peace and harmony to your life, and much, much more. We wish you a magickal holiday season this year and hope you will pass the magick on to others to help keep these traditions alive.
