Ready to Get Serious About Magic? Start Here...

For those who have dabbled in magic and are truly serious about getting on the magical path, Basic Magic I is the place to start. This online beginner magic course will teach you the foundations of a solid magical practice. You will learn the basic techniques necessary to work with the four magical elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. It is said that if you can understand the four magical elements, you can understand anything in the Universe... Ready to give it a try? Then get started with the Level I basic Magic Course. Not sure yet? Here's a look at the four elements to get you going.

By having an understanding of and a working knowledge of the four elements, not only can you understand anything in the Universe, you can also create anything you desire. Four element magic is at the heart of everything in the Universe including magical powers and abilities. For example, clairvoyance and telepathy can be developed by working with the Water element since Water is the language of Spirit and lets you access information and emotions at a Spiritual level. Telekinesis is the ability to channel your Fire energy. Our classes teach students to practice this skill by throwing firebolts at a candle flame. When they are able to make the flame "jump" by pointing a finger at it then they have begun to develop this magical skill.

Understanding the four elements goes deeper than just developing magical abilities. They help in just about every aspect of life. For ourselves, they can help us follow our birth visions, listen to our Spirit guidance and live more creative and peaceful lives. In our everyday life, understanding of the four elements helps us to know ourselves better according to our elemental makeup and see what types of careers we are well suited for, help us choose compatible relationships and have a better understanding of the lifestyle that will make us happy. We are also able to apply this knowledge to others and provide service in the forms of healing, divination and facilitating communication. Having an understanding of this magical foundation of four element magic and the laws of the Universe allow us to be in accordance with the Universe instead of running into constant resistance with it.

Four element magic is the first step to developing a deep understanding of the driving forces of life and opens the doorway to direct knowledge and spiritual scientism. You can get started on this path for yourself with our online Basic Magic courses and bring some serious magic to your life.

Got the Blues? Dump It Magically!

If you need help with mood swings, we have a ton of magical techniques to help, from the simple to the complex. Read all about them in the Mood Changes section of our library of magical articles. You can also learn about dreams, divination, protection, manifestation, and much more. The wealth of magical treasure is there, just waiting for you to come visit. No cost, just a little investment of time and interest on your part. Here's an example of the type of magical treasures awaiting you in our library.

The Magic of Small Changes To Cure the Blues
Part of the Universal Law of Divination says, "A small change in the present will create a larger change in the future." There are two reasons that small changes now can make bigger changes for you in the future. First, they help change your habitual thought patterns enough to let you open the door to new ideas and inspirations. Second, because they are small changes, you are able to avoid running into the resistance factor. Changing your thought patterns helps you get to a new level or pull yourself out of the blues. You know that what you think and feel determines what you will bring into your reality. So if you are experiencing the blues, you will bring more depression and sadness to yourself whereas if you are upbeat, positive and happy, you will attract more of the same. By changing your mood or making a small change in your habits you can rise up the ladder a step or adjust your position just enough to be able to access different thoughts and feelings. The doubt factor is often a cause of resistance that keeps us stuck in where we are. Small changes in habit will be less noticeable and are things that we are more comfortable with. This helps break down the resistance letting us move forward.

So what kind of changes are we actually talking about? Take a good look at yourself and see what types of things you do just by habit. Do you always wear a particular ring on a certain hand or finger? Do you always sit in the same place at home or at work? Do you always perform your morning routine exactly the same way and use the same hand to do certain tasks? These can all be examples of things you can choose to do differently that no one but you will really notice. Wear that ring on a different finger, get up on the opposite side of the bed, wear your socks wrong side out, open doors with your left hand instead of your right and so on.

You get the idea now I'm sure. See what small changes you can make consciously instead of the mechanical habits you usually perform and make a shift as to where you stand inside yourself. This will open the doorway for new thoughts and feelings to come in, allow you to raise your level, and help magically beat the blues.

Just to get you started, here is a very basic beginner exercise for you to try out. Give it a try and see what you experience from this exercise. Then jump onto Facebook and share your results with our magical community.

Sun Candle
A sun candle is a great magical tool to use for creating sacred space, giving yourself an energy boost, clearing negative energies or picking you up when you're feeling blue. A sun candle is simply a regular candle that is pure, bright yellow in color with not too much orange in it. To turn this common candle into a magical tool it needs to be charged. Here's how to charge and use the sun candle.

1. Stand or sit in the South facing North and have the yellow candle in front of you

2. Light the candle with wooden or paper matches. Do not use a lighter.

3. Watch the flame grow steady and tall until it reaches what we call a good "working" flame.

4. These next steps will charge the candle. Hold your hands so that they are close to (not too close that you get burned though) and cupped around the flame.

5. Focus your attention on the candle and flame and say this verse out loud in a voice of command (strong, powerful voice):
"Child of Wonder,
Child of Flame,
Nourish My Spirit,
And Protect My Aim!"
6. The candle is now charged. Leave it burning for at least 30 minutes making sure it is on a plate or other protective surface so as not to be a fire hazard.

After at least 30 minutes, when you feel ready, blow the candle out. Check in with yourself to see if you feel a difference in your energy level or the quality of your energy. You may also feel lighter, more harmonious and more peaceful.

This very simple, basic magical technique could be the start of your journey into magic. Try it out for yourself, examine your results, and then decide what your next step will be in exploring the wonderful world of magic.

Under Attack? Magic's Got Your Back

Every single person has the right to sacred space, and fully safety and security within that sacred space. If you are under attack--physical or psychic--then magical self defense can help. You may use any and all magical means to defend your sacred space from attack (from verbal abuse to someone getting too personal at work to out-and-out physical attack) so long as you follow the primary rule of self defense. The rule says, "In cases of direct and violent personal harm you are entitled to defend yourself by any means available provided you did nothing to encourage or provoke the attack." Here's a more in-depth look at this rule and what it means when considering the use of magical self defense.

Direct – This includes a threat made upon body, mind or spirit. In a magical sense this would include attempts from any outside force or influence to cause a drain on your energy or impose their will upon you.

Violent – Anything that damages your physical, mental, emotional or spiritual well being is considered violent in a magical sense. Their intention to do violence or not is not part of the consideration, only what harm is actually done.

Encourage – This means that you have done nothing that would create or permit an unnecessary opportunity for a hostile being to attack you.

Provoke – If you know a sore spot someone has or know they are under a lot of internal or external stress and you become excessively pushy or confrontive, then these would be considered provoking on your part.

By Any Means Available – As long as all the other conditions of this rule are met, you can use whatever means you choose to defend yourself and the Universe will not consider any response you offer as excessive.

Sound good? Ready to explore more about the world of magical self defense? Learn more about the ins and outs of this rule, plus many magical techniques for self-defense in our Magical Self Defense online course.

Is Magic Real, for Real?

There's no better way to start a magical New Year than to address this topic! We get asked this question almost daily by people hoping, wishing, and praying that magic is real. And yet, there's that doubt factor, too. So, if you're teetering on the edge about this topic and you're just not sure, check it out.... Magic IS real.

Magic Is Real
Not only is magic real, spellwork works and daily magical rituals can improve your life and help you resolve your daily life problems. Of course, like anything else, you get out of your magic practice what you put into it. This is what we know to be true. BUT you have to find out for yourself what is true for you. We encourage you to read our Magic Is Real article and try out some of the techniques we give on our blog and in our magical articles library. The only way magic will become real for you is when you try it out for yourself and see the results it brings you. Remember though that magic is also a precision science as well as an art so don't be too quick to give up if you don't see immediate results. Really give it a good chance to work for you and be sure to do techniques exactly as described because altered procedures produce altered results.

You Decide
By trying out some magical techniques and skills, you will then have your own experience and observations to make a judgment on if magic is real for you or not. Suspend any disbelief you may have long enough to try out some daily rituals and see if they are helpful and useful for your life. Just to get you started here is a very powerful contact ritual that we start our Basic Magic students using the first day of class and students continue to use it up through levels of advanced magic classes. This ritual, called the Exit Ritual, is part of the Navajo Beauty Way. You do it every time you leave an enclosed space, like your car or your house. This incredible magical ritual helps you connect with higher powers and beings and restores a state of inner peace and harmony in you. Here's how it's done:

The Exit Ritual
1. On leaving your house, place of work, store, car or other enclosed area, stop and put your focus up into the sky and say aloud, "Sky Above" or "Sky Father."

2. Keeping your awareness up above, then also extend your focus into the earth and say aloud, "And Earth Below" or "And Earth Mother."

3. Then, keeping your awareness of both above and below, say aloud, "I Greet You."

4. Just stand still and wait a moment or two and see what happens. Watch for acknowledgement or response in one of these ways:
  • From within you, such as a realization, a change of attitude or belief, a new awareness.
  • Changes in your environment, such as a sudden breeze, a change in the color of the sky, a bird or animal suddenly appearing and maybe being extra large, or a tree or bush suddenly becoming vividly visible.
  • A response from Sky and/or Earth: a special message for you, an answer to a question, or guidance and new directions.
5. What happens may happen at just that moment, or it may happen throughout the day. It may change the quality of your day, your awareness ... whatever you notice.

6. You can also include hand gestures in this ritual. As you focus your attention upwards raise your arms in an upward facing V for "Sky Father" and when you move your attention downward lower your arms into a downward facing V for "Earth Mother."

Practice doing this ritual every day and record any results you notice. At the end of about 3 months, try not doing the ritual for a week or two and see the difference in your life. Life can be so much easier with higher powers and beings helping you out. This ritual helps you establish a connection and relationship with those beings. Once you have the relationship going, you can ask for help in just about anything. Nothing is too small, too unimportant or insignificant if it is of importance to you. Having these types of allies can make life, well.... magical!
