Why You Should Never Trust Magic Without an Explanation

Some of the top rated books in the magic, wicca, and similar categories are those that have the reader dive straight into rituals with no explanations, no explanation of the universal rules of magical practice, and no word on precautions. Thumbs down to that because it is one of the best ways to get into trouble. You could break a magical universal rule and have a magical side effect without ever knowing why or how to take it down. We always offer Rules of the Road and explain what the topic is, how to maximize the knowledge, and how to prevent trouble in our ebooks, courses, and Kindle books. If you read any book that doesn't offer you that, beware for your own sake!

Magical Trouble
Here are some examples of the type of trouble we have known people to get into by either not having the right foundation to perform the magical operation they undertook or by not having a good understanding of how the Universe works and its laws. In some cases the operation just didn't seem to bring any results and in other cases results were achieved, but not in a way that was acceptable.

A Financial Disaster
One of our students used a free online money spell and the results were both great and tragic. She got the money she wanted. The only problem was that the money came from her husband's life insurance policy, and he died three weeks after she cast the spell. Powerful spells without limitations (specifying, for instance, that no one die as a result of this spell) can often lead to disaster.

Let It Rain
A man trying to help his community that was suffering from drought set up a spell for it to rain. Unfortunately no rain came to his area. Upon examining his spell we found that there was nothing built into the matrix to specify where and when the rain should happen. It probably did rain somewhere as a result of his spell or it may rain in his area in the future as a result, but without these specifics included in the spell we'll never know and his community did not get the relief he hoped for.

Love Spells
We often hear from people asking about casting a love spell to make a particular man or woman fall in love with them. This is something we never recommend anyone do. This type of love spell has a good chance of backfiring. Love spells of this nature break one of the fundamental rules of magical practice, rule #2 in Rules of the Road, which says:

Don't bind another being unless you are willing to be likewise bound. This applies to many love spells and some kinds of healing rituals.

The good news is that you can cast a love spell that will work to bring you the partner you seek. You just can't name a specific person. If you set the spell up with a list of characteristics you want in a partner, then the Universe will deliver that relationship. It may or may not be the person that you had in mind. It might be someone even better and more perfect for you.

As you can see there can be catastrophic consequences, inconveniences, and loading of karmic debt to yourself by not taking the proper safety precautions in magic. Magic can help you achieve wondrous things in your life, just be sure you understand the operation you are performing and have the basic knowledge you need to perform it safely.

Want a Tarot Reading But Don't Want to Learn the Tarot?

You can certainly learn tarot and do your own tarot spreads anytime you want. We have an online course that walks you through how to learn Tarot and there are a lot of advantages to being able to do your own readings whenever you want. But if you don't want to take the time and effort to learn Tarot yourself, but have a particular issue a reading could help with, we have a trained Tarot reader available to help you with that. With this option you can get one or more readings done on the topic of your choice and just pay per reading. Readings also include any progression or regression readings needed to get to the root of the issue and you can also follow-up with questions by email if you come up needing more clarification on any point later.

What Tarot Can Do For You
Doing Tarot readings gives you a look at possible futures for any situation you can find yourself in. Relationships, where to live, career choices, health issues, travel plans, just about anything you can think of can be guided by a tarot spread. Since the future is not pre-destined, the Tarot shows you various flow lines going from past to present to future possibilities of what can happen if you continue on the same path. To change those future possibilities all you have to do is make a small change in the present to what you are currently doing and you can change the outcome. You can see how useful a magical tool this is in avoiding pitfalls and catastrophe in a variety of situations. The Tarot can point out influences affecting your situation, energies and probability lines that are active in your life and help you make important decisions from seeing the future probable outcomes. With all this you can direct your own fate and leave nothing to chance. 

So the next time you need help determining which path to take, finding out what the future may hold for you, or in making a big decision think Tarot. Learn it yourself or hire one of our Tarot reader experts to help you out. Since cost for individual readings are based on the number of readings needed for a specific situation, email info@shamanschool.com for an estimate. Either way, the Tarot is a tool that can use real magic in a real way in your life.

How Do You Study Magic? Here's How

We get this question all the time from people all over the world. They are ready to dip their toes into the magical pool but are not sure how to get started. Check out this online tutorial to get an idea; here's what's covered.

This tutorial starts you out with an explanation of what real magic is and the universal laws that specifically govern magical practice. It then moves on to the topics you need to learn to begin a magical practice starting with mastering the four elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. It then goes through how to use those elements with handwork, magical tools, and in magical operations such as divination, spellwork, and self-defense and then how to add the Tarot to your magical practice.

Since the four elements are the foundation of a magical practice, our students spend a lot of time experimenting with each of the elements with each of the colors and characteristics; increasing each of those and decreasing each of those. That allows you to feel for yourself what each element in all its variations is like and become personally involved with them. This will pay off as you progress in your magical skills and practice. For example, let's look at all that is involved with just the Air element in terms of colors and characteristics our Basic Magic students experience and experiment with.

Air Colors
Clear: breathing, physical reactions, physical sensations, seeing
White: mental processes, thinking, planning, communicating
Sky Blue: spiritual enlightenment, wisdom, understanding

Air Characteristics
Transparency or clarity – can see through it
Carrier – carries fire energy and light objects
Reflectivity – can be mirror like or silvery under some conditions
Compressible and Expandable – able to occupy less space or more space
Easy Flow – flows readily
Reactive – reacts quickly to energy input
Shape Malleable – changes shape easily
Mutable – can be changed into other elements under some conditions
Insulator – can insulate or separate from conditions
Inherently Stable – doesn't move unless acted on by an outside force
Direct Mediator for Fire – mediates fire so it can be applied to water and earth
Lightweight – very light, almost weightless
Masculine – outgoing or forceful

Did you have any idea this one element has so many characteristics? By gaining an in-depth understanding of how these work, you have a wide selection of characteristics to add in when using the Air element for unlimited operations. If you aren't sure how to get started on your magical learning, begin with the tutorial and get an overview of what your magical path can look like. From there you'll be able to find your interests and how involved you want your magical learning experience to be. Then we have a full selection of online courses, ebooks, and Kindle books as well as our free blog and articles library to choose from and really get going on your magical journey.

3 Things You Probably Didn't Know About the Tarot

If you are familiar at all with Tarot, then you probably know it offers you a form of divination to foresee future obstacles if you continue on your present path in a situation. By making a change however in your present, you can change the future outcome. It gives you a direct method of obtaining information not available to the physical five senses. But here are three things you may be surprised to find out about the Tarot. 

1. A properly keyed tarot deck is an actual model and reflection of the Universe. Taking the time to key each of the cards attunes it to your own personal energies which will make your Tarot spreads personal and create a connection between you and the cards. During 12-card readings your tarot spread will show you the past and present for any situation you are reading that you will recognize from your own past conditions and where you are at presently. Then flow lines will show you what future conditions you can expect if you continue in the same manner or what changes can occur if you make changes in the present. The success of these type readings depends on picking signifiers for the person and situation being read.

2. Since your deck is keyed to represent a model of the Universe you can change the universe by changing a tarot reading using a tarot spell. Once you have the tarot spread laid out that you have decided needs a change in the present to change the future, you can set up a spell matrix using candles and spell verses around the spread. Making the card changes in the tarot spread within a spell matrix creates that change in real life.

3. The proper interpretation of the cards has to be done through keying and studying the cards of certain decks, such as the Thoth deck and Waite-Ryder (other decks have their purpose, but truly useful tarot decks reflect their true meanings with their images and thus lead to proper interpretation). Just memorizing meanings of cards or going by standard book definitions is really restricting. By keying the cards and "wearing" them around to get the feel of each, you become personally connected and are able to see enhanced meanings of them.

Find any surprises there? If you are interested in becoming adept at using the Tarot and learning to do tarot spreads and readings, our online Tarot Couse is for you. It will take you through how to key your deck, how to pick appropriate signifiers for people and situations and how to do Celtic Cross and 12-card readings. Make the Tarot come alive for you and help you use magic to get the results you want in your life.

This ritual is part of the Navajo Beauty Way ritual called the Exit Ritual and here's how it's done.

The Exit Ritual
1. Everytime you leave your house or car or other enclosed area, stop and put your focus up into the sky and say aloud, "Sky Above" or "Sky Father."  If you feel comfortable doing so, you can also raise your arms in an upward facing V toward the sky as you say this.

2. Keeping the awareness above you, extend your focus into the earth and say aloud, "And Earth Below" or "And Earth Mother." You can also use the hand motions while saying this by lowering your arms toward the ground in a downward facing V.

3. Keeping awareness of both above and below, say aloud, "I Greet You."

4. Wait a few moments and see what happens. Be alert for acknowledgement or response either:
•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, or a tree or shrub suddenly becoming vividly visible or possibly a four foot skunk to come walking by.

•A response from Sky and/or Earth: a special message for you, an answer to a question, or guidance and new directions.

5. Stay aware throughout the day for any additional results. It may change the quality of your day, your awareness, send totem animals with messages, or many other ways. The more you do this ritual, the more connected you become and the more you will see magic show up in your life.

2 Simple Magical Rituals that Enhance Any Magical Procedure

The more magic you have in your life, the more powerful the magical rituals you do will be. By adding two C's to your daily magical practice, you can increase your connection to higher beings and powers, boost your supply of positive power, and increase your ability to hear your own inner guidance and follow it. What are these magical two C's? Consistency and Conscious Choice!

Consistency
Your connection with the higher can be enhanced by doing a ritual at the same time every day. In terms of any relationship, which is stronger; one you have contact with every day or someone you seldom have contact with? Usually family, spouse, close friends, and co-workers are the people you have consistent contact with and those are the people that are a big part of your life and that you know you can count on. Those you seldom have contact with fall more in the category of acquaintances or distant friends. They don't have much influence over your day to day life. It works the same way with higher powers and beings. The more consistent contact you have with them, the more you know you can count on them. One daily ritual that helps develop more consistency in your life and that can enhance your magic practice is the Consistency Exercise. Since magically speaking, it takes 40 days of consistency to manifest a desired outcome, the secret to success with this exercise is to work towards doing it for 40 days in a row. I say work towards that goal because even though this is a very, very simple exercise to perform, it is very hard to reach the 40 days in a row goal. As you do this exercise, just remember that it is the journey towards and the striving to that are most important. Berating yourself for missing a day, which in this exercise means you start over at day one, is not helpful and will not help you build force. If you miss a day, you simply start over at day one and work again towards the 40 day goal. Here's how you do this very simple ritual.

1. Choose a very simple act that you will do every day. And I do mean SIMPLE! It might be making a mark on a piece of paper, touching your nose with your index finger, saying a particular word out loud or any one of thousands of other simple, simple acts.

2. Choose an exact time that you will do this act every day. Make it a time that you will be likely to remember easily. If you are constantly on the go with a demanding job, then don't pick a time at work. You might want to pick a time when you know you will be sitting down for a cup of coffee or a break in the day. Consider your schedule and pick a time that will work best for you to be the most successful.

3. Now that you have chosen your simple act and a time you will do it each day, do it. Yes, it's really that simple. If you miss a day though, you have to start over at Day 1. Even if you make it to Day 38 and then forget the next day, you start over at Day 1.

Making it to the 40 day mark, you will find, is the trickier part of this exercise, but it is what really develops the consistency. When you miss a day (and I've never known anyone that didn't), just know it is all part of the process and you're getting even more practice at consistency. You will also gain insight into how mechanical our lives are for the most part and see how important it is to step out of this mechanicalness and into consciousness.

Conscious Choice
Doing this exercise at the same time as the Consistency Exercise helps you generate a lot of positive power that can be used for manifesting. The Consistency Exercise was geared towards developing focused aim. The Conscious Choice exercise gives you practice listening to your own inner guidance and wisdom and following it. For this exercise you will stop at anytime during the day, everyday, and make a conscious choice. Start with small, trivial choices such as what color socks to wear, whether to go for a walk or relax and read a book, or what to eat for breakfast. Then follow these steps.

1. Either out loud or silently, say to yourself, "I will now make a conscious choice."

2. Ask yourself the choice question now. "Do I choose to relax and read a book or go for a walk?" The question might also be "What do I choose to do right now?"

3. Take a moment to be silent and listen to your inner self. The first answer that comes to you is what you must do.

4. Do this exercise each day for 40 days. Just like with the Consistency Exercise, if you miss a day, you start over at Day 1.

We say start with trivial choices because you are just learning to listen and trust your inner guidance. In that process it really won't matter too much if you have oatmeal instead of eggs for breakfast. By practicing with these small, less important choices, you'll be able to develop your inner voice and learn to trust your own inner wisdom. That way when bigger life choices come along, you'll have the experience of accessing your own inner wisdom as well as the consistent relationship with the Universe to draw on for help in making the right decisions for you.

These two C's may not seem like much to you at first, but give them a try and you'll see the powerful changes doing them will magically bring to your life. For more daily rituals you can do to enhance your magic practice, check out our Daily Rituals For Attracting What You Want in Life ebook.

A Simple Magical Ritual to Unwind Problems

Magic can play a big role in your everyday life and you can get rid of a variety of life problems with a simple magical ritual using the pendulum. The pendulum is a great magical tool that can be used for dowsing, divination, diagnosing health concerns and with many other magic techniques. You can buy a pendulum online or at a new age store or you can make your own pendulum with a string or chain and a small rock or other small object like a paperclip. Get your pendulum ready and the next time you have a problem or snag in your life, use it to unwind that problem and magically clear it from your life. Here's how.

Clearing With the Pendulum
1. Hold the string or chain of the pendulum in your dominant hand (hand you naturally point with), let your pendulum hang loose.

2. Visualize the problem that you would like to clear.

3. Holding this visual of the problem in your mind, ask the pendulum if this is a situation that you should and can clear.

4. If the answer is yes, continue with the clearing. If the answer is no, stop the procedure.

5. Start the pendulum swinging in a counter-clockwise direction, asking the pendulum to clear the problem, and visualize the problem resolving. Be specific in what you ask the pendulum to do and specific in your visualization of the problem resolving.

6. Continue focusing on the problem's resolution and clearing it until the pendulum stops spinning in a counter-clockwise direction. If the pendulum stops spinning, begins to move in a horizontal or vertical direction or starts spinning clockwise the problem is cleared.

Of course, since you have free will you can always choose to let the problem back into your mind and your life. To keep the problem cleared, find something else to focus on when it pops into your mind and perform the clearing more than once if you need to. This is a great technique to use with negative and repetitive thoughts too. This is just one of the simple magical techniques you can learn how to do in our Psychic Development ebook. Let magic change your life and change the way you deal with life problems.

Magic Not Working? Get Back to Basics

If you're not seeing the results from your magic practice, maybe it's time to get back to basics. A great way to do this is with our online Basic Magic Courses. If you are new to magic, this is a great way to study real magic from a real teacher that fits anywhere into your schedule and can be done on your own timeline. The same if true if you are an experienced practitioner that just needs a little refresher course on the basics of magic. You can take the full course, or if there's particular topics you want to review, the course is divided into three sections so you can pick and choose what you need. Here's what you'll find in the three levels of the course and then the full course includes it all.

Basic Magic Level 1
This first section of Basic Magic covers the Four Elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth in depth. You'll learn the characteristics, correspondences (direction, tool, elemental spirit, part of person, direction of view, colors, and spiritual aspect), techniques for using these elements with your hands, and receive guidance on practicing with the elements until you are thoroughly familiar with them. You also cover the Rules of the Road that govern magical practice, charging and using the Sun Candle, and doing the Navajo Beauty Way to start forming relationships with higher powers and beings.

Basic Magic Level 2
In the second section of Basic Magic we cover more techniques using the four elements with your hands for such things as self-defense including learning to use hand lightning, lightning rods, and fireballs. The course then moves into magical tools for each element, how to obtain or make each of the tools, and techniques each can be used for. Tools covered include the firebowl, Wand (magical Air tool), Athame (magical Fire tool), Chalice (magical Water tool), Plate (magical Earth tool), and the pendulum. This section also takes a dip into divination and some divination techniques to do with these tools as well as how to ward and bind mirrors for protection.

Basic Magic Level 3
The third section of Basic Magic covers the Tarot, including how to key your deck, choose and key signifiers for readings, how to do Celtic Cross readings and twelve card readings. This indepth look at the Tarot also goes into how to do progressed readings, regressed readings and use the Tarot with multiple signifiers. The course then moves into doing spellwork with single candle spells, multiple candle spells and Tarot spells as well as how to use sonics magically to enhance spells and use in other techniques. The final part of the course covers simulacra magic which allows you to do magical operations at a distance. This is particularly useful if you need to do healing work or cut psychic lines on someone who lives far away from you.

As you can see this is a very comprehensive program. That is important for magical study, especially if you are new to magic. There is a magical principle that states, "altered procedures produce altered results". This can lead to disastrous results in a karmic way for you and possibly in physical ways for you or someone else. When you begin a magical practice, you need to have a thorough understanding of what you are doing, why you are doing it in a certain way, what the ramifications of doing it are, and if it is in accordance with the Rules of the Road to be doing it. This is why we don't encourage people to perform spells that someone else has given to them or just blindly follow magical instructions. If you create the spell, then you know all the intentions and parts that have been built into it. This is not always the case for a spell someone else writes and gives to you. Our courses are designed to give you an understanding of how real magic works and present it to you as a precision science with techniques that can be duplicated over and over again.

If you are looking for a magical refresher or a place to start your magical journey, the Basic Magic Courses are the place for you. These online courses will help you develop a safe magic practice with guidance from an experienced online teacher through the format of audio files, video files, class notes and exercises to practice skills. So if you're ready to get serious about studying magic, check them out.

Why A Spell Doesn't Have to Be Complicated

While some magical spells, such as Tarot or multiple candle spells, CAN be complicated, you can also do magical spells that are effective while remaining simple. Our Kindle book 3 outlines a number of simple spells, including using apples magically to get rid of the unwanted such as extra weight, bad debt, bad habits or a health condition, using a magical plate for healing, and getting rid of negative thoughts and emotions with the Firebowl Burn and lots more simple spells and rituals.

You'll also find lots of magical information in this book to help guide you in starting a magic practice. For example, do you know the difference in a ritual and a spell?

What is a Magic Spell?
A spell is a psychic or magic operation or formalized intention utilizing a combination of the elements Air, Fire, Water and Earth, forming them into an energy matrix, and possibly programming factors in it to gain force, momentum and overcome obstacles in order to produce a certain result over a period of time. By this definition chants, litanies, rituals, sonics and even prayers are magic spells. A spell will accomplish its goal by taking the path of least resistance unless directors and limiter (what the spell will and will not do) are programmed into it. This means that even if the goal is in accordance with Rules of the Road governing magical practice, the path it follows to get there may not be in accordance and can be destructive. For this reason a spell requires much more planning and is usually a more complex or involved operation.

What is a Magic Ritual?
A ritual is a type of spell that is usually of the more simple variety. It is typically used more often than other types of spells and repeated even daily to form relationships with and receive guidance from higher beings and powers or to deepen and reaffirm our intentions. Rituals and spells both produce effects that many would view as miraculous, but to higher powers they are normal. Higher powers and beings live on a higher plane than we here on the Earth plane do and the practice of miracles is commonplace for them. Using magical rituals allows us to bring these beings in to guide and help us achieve our desires.  

This is just a bit of the magic information awaiting you in Learn How to Do Witchcraft Rituals and Spells with Magical Tools. Get the book for yourself and explore all the magic knowledge and try out the magical procedures for yourself. It's an easy way to study magic on your own schedule in your own time.

Are You a Deep Magical Genius or a Practical Manifester?

Each of us has a different personality. We know this when it comes to friendship or dating. But did you know that you also have a magical personality? You might be primarily an Air, a big time communicator and thinker, or a Water, a person who interacts with the world through emotions, the language of Spirit. Take the test to find out more.

Which of the Four Elements Is Your Dominant Element?
Once you take the personality test and know your personality according to which of the four elements you are most dominant in, how does this help you? Good question. Each of the four elements has its own characteristics associated with it. By knowing what these characteristics are, you'll be able to identify what your strengths are, how you view the world and how you interact with the world and others. This knowledge can help you find the career you are best suited for, know the type of people you are most compatible with when looking for friends or a mate, and give you an understanding of the best way for you to approach situations in your life. It also makes you aware of your challenges so you will be prepared to encounter resistance or difficult situations with a plan for dealing with them already in place. Once you know which of the magical four elements is dominant in your personality by taking the magical personality test, you not only get a better understanding of yourself, but also start looking at others and any situation you encounter in relation to the elements and how best for you to interact with them.

Real Life Example
My adult daughter is totally dominant in the Water element so I know that she views the world and will generally react from an emotional stand in any situation. I, on the other hand, am most dominant in Earth. As a water personality, my daughter views the world from characteristics such as emotions, feelings, intuition, compassion, empathy, sympathy, knowing, and devotion. She always makes herself available to help others, she has a helping service career, and feels very passionate about community and making things "right" for others. She is able to appreciate beauty in her life as well as the gifts and blessings she has. The problems come for her when she takes on too much feeling for others and absorbs their negative energies or when her water energies become stagnant or too dark which causes depression. As an Earth personality, I am often able to help her anchor and ground out these negative energies when this occurs. Knowing my personality characteristic which include strength, endurance, patience, structure, serenity of beingness, solidity, boundaries, permanence, loyalty, persistence, stubbornness, security, and anchor, and knowing hers, I have insight into the best ways to help her when she goes on emotional overload and calls me in tears of frustration, sadness or from being overwhelmed. I know that she will be most successful in situations that allow her to express who she is and stay true to her values, so any conversation we have needs to start with just letting her talk. As an Earth personality, I am able to patiently wait and listen until she winds down and gets all her emotions verbally spewed out. This in itself offers an anchor and some stability to her. I can then offer magical solutions to help her regain energy such as Rooting or going to the nearby river and putting her feet in the moving water. Once she has her emotions balanced again, it is simple to guide her through looking inside herself to find her own answers for her current problem. My role in this process is to simply be an anchor and a rock for her. This is what I am able to share with her just by having an understanding of my four element personality and hers.

On the other hand, as an Earth personality I can be rigid and yes even stubborn at times. These are characteristics that I am aware of and have to be on my guard against. I often lack the emotional connection in situations and with people in favor of organization, practicality and I can be inflexible at times. Especially when interacting with other people, I have to be aware of these challenges and guard against closing off and showing no empathy for others being convinced that I am right and there is no room for compromise. This is when my daughter's personality can be very helpful to me. As an empathetic Water personality, she is able to translate to me what others might be feeling about a situation and give me insights from an emotions perspective. This helps me shift my Earth stance a bit to be able to look for compromise and consider the other person's view on the situation. By knowing these personality characteristics that we each have, my daughter and I are able to help each other through our challenges by lending the strengths we each possess from our dominant element.

Fire and Air
Since we pretty much covered the characteristics for Water and Earth in the example with myself and my daughter, let's take a quick look at characteristics associated with Fire and Air.

Fire - energy, power, will, desire, anger, pain, motivation, radiance, passion, initiative, aggression, limitation, endeavor, activity, creative, willingness, urge, inspired, excitable, courage, bravado, compulsion, fanaticism, frustration, resentment, rage, freedom

Air - seeing, breathing, speaking, hearing, planning, thinking, believing, memorizing, communicating, learning, teaching, information, ideas, wisdom, understanding, worry, sensation, awareness, opinions, data, memory, mind

Look through the characteristics listed for each of the four elements and see which sounds the most like you. This will give you a good idea of your dominant element. You can get an even better idea by taking the four elements personality test. Then look at the people around you that you get along the best with and those that you don't get along with. Consider what their dominant element might be. This will help you find the people you will be the most successful with and help you be aware of those that you will have a challenging relationship with and help you find ways to deal with them. Beginning to see the world from a perspective of the four elements can open a lot of doors for you and help you be successful in whatever you do. This is the start of living a magical life and seeing life from a viewpoint of magic.

Deceptively Simple Ways to Start on Your Magical Path

Contrary to Harry Potter movies or shows like Charmed, magic isn't all about blowing things up, freezing people and items, or even doing spells on the fly. In fact, magic is quite deceptively simple, especially in the beginning. Find out how by reading the many magical rituals and offerings we have on these web pages.

Magical Articles Library
Magical Blog
Magical Facebook Community 

Just to show you some of the simple magical rituals and exercises you'll find in the resources, here are a few from our articles library on ways to get your day off to a good start with magic.

PREPAVING: This is one of our favorite magical techniques from Abraham (http://www.abraham-hicks.com). Just sit for 3-5 minutes in a quiet spot and focus on what you want and how you want your day to look. We spend so much time worrying about what we have to do, what we should do and what might happen that we forget what's most important – what we want! So spend a few minutes sending the Universe a few hints about how you want your day to look, and the Universe will deliver exactly that, and then some!

SUN CANDLE: Did you know that the color sun yellow (bright yellow with no orange) actually nourishes and refreshes your Spirit? If you're feeling groggy, grumpy or grouchy, sit in front of a lit sun yellow candle for a few minutes. It will refresh you and give you happy, joyful energy.

CONSCIOUS CHOICE: We spend so much time in our minds that our Spirits don't get much chance to come out and play. Yet, we are happiest when we are living in Spirit rather than in mind. To give you a hint, you were probably most in Spirit when you were a playful child. So, to get your Spirit in gear for a fun and playful day, make a conscious choice – it exercises Spirit. Just say to yourself, "I will now make a conscious choice." Then ask yourself a question such as, "Do I choose to have cereal or toast for breakfast?" Go with the first answer you hear or receive. Following Spirit's guidance will align your energies and make for a positive day.

GREET THE DAY: One way to stay in touch with your Spirit and with nature is to go outside and greet the day. It's simple. Go outside, extend your attention into the sky and say, "Sky Above." Then, extend your attention into the earth and say, "and Earth Below." Then, with attention both above and below, say, "I greet you." Wait a moment and see what gifts the Universe brings you (this is a simple form of the Navajo Beauty Way). You will experience peace, joy, satisfaction and nourishment.

Try these out, then go to our blog or library of articles or join in the fun with us on Facebook. You'll find tons more simple, magical offerings to try out for yourself and invite magic into your life.

How to Amp Up Your Relationship with the Universe

Establishing a solid relationship with the Universe now gives you the inside track when you really need it. Accessing spiritual information from your own Spirit or from higher beings and powers just makes life easier. The more you connect with the Universe through angels, guides, animal totems and even your own Spirit, the easier life in general will be and the easier it will be to manifest those things you desire in life. So how do you go about establishing this relationship? One way is through daily rituals. These type of rituals reconnect us with what we really want in life and put us in the energy field that allows us to receive what we ask for. There is an angel, guide, totem, and helper for just about anything in our lives. Want a new job? A new mate? A parking space at the mall? It doesn't matter how big or how small your problem is, there is a Universal being just waiting for you to ask for help. Asking is one of the keys however. These beings don't just interfere in your life at will. You have to ask for their help. Then to really get an ongoing relationship built up here are a few tips.

1. Work with the same spirit guides, such as parking angels or Spirit of Owl often and consistently

2. Thank the beings before and after the act (this is most often forgotten by people, but these guides mostly work for appreciation)

3. Ask for help as often as possible (there is an angel for everything and they gain their own ascension by doing magical acts for humans, everything from clearing up scheduling conflicts to guiding you as to how much salt to put on your food or what is healthiest and happiest meal to order at a restaurant)

Working With Spirit Beings
Not sure how to get started working with Spirit beings? No problem, we can help. First here are some general guidelines to follow when interacting with them.

• Don't be afraid or hesitate to ask for help. These beings are just waiting to be called upon. 
• Remember to always thank your Spirit or your guides when you ask for help before and after they have given you aid. 
• When asking for information ask for it to be given to you in a way that you can easily understand.
• If you don't get the information you need the first time around, thank your source and ask for clarification. Don't be afraid to keep asking until you get what you want.
• Don't second guess the information or the way in which help arrives for you. Accept it with gratitude!

Working With Angels
Now that you have some general guidelines, let's get down to specifics starting with angels. Angels are good beings to begin working with because they don't require a long, established relationship to begin working for you. Let's say you are stuck in traffic, late for an appointment, or find yourself dealing with some type of awkward situation. This is a perfect time to ask for help from an angel as they are experts at quick fixes. Here's what you do:
1. Out loud or in your mind say, "Angel expert in ___ [traffic, parking places, in-laws, etc.], please come to my aid."

2. Before proceeding, wait several moments in silence to feel the presence of an angel arriving. They are quick so you don't have to wait for more than a few seconds.

3. Tell the angel exactly what you need help with and be specific. For example, don't just say I want a parking space to be available to me. Instead say that you want a parking space at the Crossroads Mall and maybe even what city the mall is in and that you want it on the side of the mall where the Sears store is. Include that you will be arriving at the mall in 15 minutes and will need the space available at that time.

4. After stating what you want, be sure to thank the angel. Don't wait to see if it really happens, go ahead and show your gratitude now. This step is very important so that they will be more willing to help you in the future and because you are receiving a wonderful gift.

Step 4 can be tricky for some people and is the place where the communication process often breaks down and what you want may not happen. This is because angels cannot go against your will. So if you ask for help, but you are having negative or doubtful thoughts about what you have asked for, the angel can't go against those thoughts. For example, you ask for help in getting a great job. In your mind however you are thinking of all the reasons you won't get the job or how you don't believe the job will be offered to you. The angel can't override those thoughts and gets the message, "I can't get this job." See the problem? If you find your mind having these types of thoughts, you can get around it by asking one angel to help you stop your negative thinking and then ask another angel to help you get the job. Remember there is no shortage of angels to help you out with whatever problem you have, so start thinking in that direction. Anytime a problem comes up in your life, begin thinking of an angel to help you through it.

This should get you started working with Spirit beings and seeing all the magic they can bring to your life. When you are ready to move on to working with other Universal beings, our Daily Rituals for Attracting What You Want in Life ebook can help. In this ebook, you'll learn how to create your own rituals as well as find more than 35 daily rituals you can use to release pain, start and end your day properly, get angelic help, access knowledge, and to lift your mood. Daily rituals will allow you to start establishing long term relationships with Universal beings so that you'll always have magical help available whenever you need it.

What You Probably Don't Know About Magical Self-Defense

Here are three things you may not know about magical self defense.

1. You can defend yourself even if you are not physically harmed, if your sacred space has been invaded
According to the rules of magical self defense a direct attack upon your mind or spirit also is an acceptable reason to use magical self defense. Anything that damages your physical, mental, emotional or spiritual well-being whether the intention is to harm you or not is a cause for self defense to be used.

2. Self defense can backfire if you provoked the attack
The rules governing the use of magical self defense also say that you must not have done anything to encourage or provoke the attack. This would include that you do not create or permit any unnecessary opportunity for a known hostile being to attack you. For example, if you know a particular sore spot someone has and you push their buttons in that area or are excessively pushy then you have provoked the attack and are not within your rights to use magical self defense.

3. The more powerful you become magically, the more likely you are to be attacked, so it becomes more and more necessary to learn magical self-defense as you progress down the magical path
As your magical abilities grow you will more than likely attract beings on different levels that will interfere with your path in some form or fashion. As Clarissa Estes, author of Women Who Run With the Wolves, says, "If you have beauty in your life, know that it will attract the dark as well as the light. Don't be surprised. Be prepared."

If you want to know more about magical self defense, our online course can help you with that. Some of the things you'll learn in this course besides when it is appropriate to use self defense techniques and when it is not include:

• Direct flow of fire energy
• Grounding out fire energy
• Rooting and grounding
• Hand lightning
• Lightning rod
• Fireballs
• Half Shields 
• Using Sonics

Here is one of the techniques you'll learn in this course to give you an idea of all the magical treasures you'll find there.

Fire Half Shields
Fire half shields are temporary energetic shields you can create to protect yourself from psychic and energetic attack. This is a static shield so it does not move when you do. It will protect you however for up to a minute as long as you don't move. The more the shield is attacked, the stronger it becomes so it could last longer. Here's how you make a half shield.

1. Use your right hand, moving it from left to right in front of your body. Hold your hand at chest height in front of your body and just to the left of it with your fingers pointing up, thumbs facing you and your palm facing to the left.

2. Pull the fire color Electric Blue in through your left hand, up your left arm, across your body and down into your right hand. You can use other fire colors, but Electric Blue works best for most types of self defense and is a good one to start with.

3. Extend a beam or blade of energy out from the top and down through the base of your hand making sure it is tall enough to cover the whole length of your body.

4. Sweep your hand in a curve from left to right in front of your body. You can either make a convex curve (bulging away from you) or concave (bulging in toward you). Convex will scatter incoming energies away from you and concave will focus and redirect energies back to the attacker. Both intensify the energy being sent out, so concave will be best for really severe or serious threats.

5. Stay behind your shield until danger from the attack is over. If you have to move, put up a new shield since it will not move with you.

Practice making half shields so that you can throw one up quickly and efficiently and be ready when it is needed. Find this branch of magic fascinating? Learn more techniques and information about magical self defense in our Magical Self Defense online course.

Tricks for Boosting Your Psychic Senses

We all have the ability to be psychic and receive information that doesn't come from our 5 senses. Some of us have a natural psychic ability and others need to practice to develop our psychic senses. Our Psychic Development ebook can help with exercises to practice that will help expand the psychic senses and develop the skills needed to awaken psychic abilities. One of the first things to do in awakening the extra senses used as psychic abilities is to get in touch with your inner silence so that you will be able to hear information the Universe sends you. One exercise to get you started on preparing your senses to receive information is through meditation.

Meditation
There are many ways and forms that meditation can take. For the purposes of developing psychic senses, meditation allows you to create enough quiet space and silence in your life so that you will be in a position to hear the messages sent by the Universe and from divination techniques. Meditate a little bit every day to start developing these skills. Here is an exercise you can use if you don't already have an active meditation practice.

• For at least 15 minutes, sit in a comfortable position with closed eyes, hands in your lap with right hand cradled in the left. 
• While you are aware of your thoughts, remain unattached from them. Be aware especially of your sensations. 
• If you have trouble relaxing, try having a lit candle to center your concentration, burn soothing incense or sit near a running fountain. 
• Now begin feeling your natural breathing as the breath moves in and out of your body. Don't force your breathing or change it any way, just feel and be aware of your body's own natural breaths. 
• As you become aware of thoughts popping up in your mind, let them pass through without focusing your attention on them. Think of this as sitting on a shoreline watching boats pass by. If you find your attention drawn to one in particular, simply return your focus to your breathing and let the thought pass by.

After at least 15 minutes of sitting in this manner you can get up and end your meditation time. Don't dwell on what happened during the meditation, or how successful you feel it was or if you had any revelations or not. The only importance is the consistency with which you do your meditation and the effort put towards doing it. Doing short meditations daily for instance will serve you better in the long run than doing longer meditations occasionally. Consistency is a key element. You will find over time that consistently doing this exercise will increase your ability to have inner silence and take it with you throughout everything you do. Your time spent in meditation should be an enjoyable time for you as it is time you are devoting to your inner development and the more you develop your inner life, the more benefits you will see in your outer life.

Reading Other People
Another set of exercises you'll find in our Psychic Development ebook is on the topic of reading other people or learning to gather information about others that you cannot get through the traditional 5 senses. Here is one of the exercises in this area that you can practice by broadening your view of someone. This helps you understand the other person's motivation for behaviors or attitudes they display and can give you insight into the best way to deal with them. 

Look up and down the other person's entire body and aura. Notice for example if their hands or feet are still or agitatedly moving. Notice if their breathing is fast, slow, shallow or wheezing. Look at the tongue and see if it is red which would mean too much fire energy, pale and wet which could mean a deficiency or internal coldness, if it is swollen and puffy and has teeth marks on the edges which would indicate a weak spleen and kidney yang, if it is stiff and wooden-like with a blunt front which would mean they are emotionally shut down or if it is quivering with a red tip which would indicate nervous anxiety in the neural system. Look at their eyes to see if they dart about, look at you, look through you or move up and left or down and right. What is their posture like? Is it erect, flexible, stiff, slumped or weak? As you notice all these type of conditions, begin to build up a vocabulary of relationships between body language and inner causes and conditions. Use your own states and meanings to consider what the types of things you notice mean. As you start training yourself to notice these types of behaviors in others and putting meanings to them, your mind will start working from your own Spirit perceptics or psychic senses and gather information from others. Once you have practiced this type of information gathering for a while, if there is something in particular you want to know about another, your psychic senses will kick in and get the answer for you.

With some practice in exercises such as these, you can start gathering information from the Universe, through divination techniques and through your own innate psychic senses. So don't worry if you haven't shown any psychic talents before. All it takes is waking up those senses that live inside your inner wisdom.

3 Ways to Take Your Magic to the Next Level

Consistency adds magical force and a great way to bring consistency to your magical practice is to engage in daily rituals. Daily rituals can include practices such as your morning yoga practice, meditation, working with spirit guides like angels or the spirit of owl, or doing the Day Greeting of the Navajo Beauty Way. Just about any magical operation can be used as a daily ritual and by doing it every day for at least 40 days you can create the "habit" of making magic an integral part of your life. These magic rituals could be contact rituals that will help you develop a working relationship with the Universe, rituals that give guidance on solving a problem you feel you are unable to solve by yourself, a healing ritual working on a particular health condition you have or just a time to experience your inner silence. The important thing is that you pick a ritual and do it every day to develop consistency. Creating this magical force inside yourself means that force will be available to you when you want to do an act of magic.

Three Ways to Put Your Best Magical Foot Forward

Here are three ideas for "magical" Wheaties to start your day off right with magic. You'll find these and much more in our Daily Rituals for Attracting What you Want in Life ebook.
1. Pick a card of the day from a deck of Medicine Cards or Angel Cards
2. Go outside and do Day Greetings (and Endings) from the Navajo Beauty Way
3. Hire an angel to solve possible tricky issues in your coming day

Pick a Magical Card
Take a deck of Medicine cards, Angel cards, Tarot cards or any other kind of magical card deck. Spread the cards out and move your output hand over them feeling the energy from them. Find the card that "calls to you" or feels energetically warmer or tingly to you and pick it from the deck. If you don't have your own deck of some type of magical cards, make one yourself. You might make cards with words and concepts like love, peace, joy, gratitude, etc... Or you can use a book or magazine and open it to any page, picking the first word or picture that jumps off the page at you. Your own need and the Universe's clever forms of communicating will help you select exactly what you need to hear. Whatever card, word or image you select will be your theme for the day. If you used a card, look up the meaning of the card and see what guidance, knowledge, or information it has to offer you for the day. Then watch throughout the day for messages from the Universe that correspond to your theme. The Universe is always sending us messages and has assistance waiting for us or something that we can learn. Throughout the day remain conscious of the message or theme and watch for how it applies to your interactions with others, your internal thoughts and patterns and the situations you encounter. This simple ritual done daily helps you to operate from a place of consciousness rather than from mechanical reactions and habits, builds your relationship with the Universe and actively brings magic into your life.

Magically Greet the Day
One part of doing the Navajo Beauty Way is to do Day Greetings. This is a ritual from ancient times that is non-denominational and can create powerful, positive effects in your life. It is a contact ritual that helps you establish a relationship with the Winds of the four directions, Sky Father and Earth Mother. Doing Day Greetings on a daily basis can help you in restoring personal power by the development of trust in your own wisdom gained by personal experience, enhance your creative flow and connection with the environment and the laws and forces of nature, aid you in observing and maintaining harmonious inner states, restore your inner and external balances, and develop a working relationship with higher powers and beings. For directions on how to do Day Greetings (and Day Endings) check out this article.

Hire An Angel
We all run into frustrations, irritations and sticky situations in our daily lives from being stuck in traffic to running late for a meeting. This is when hiring an angel can help us change the situation into one that works out alright, help us avoid going into negative states, and allows us to introduce magic into our situation and day. There are angels to help with literally anything you need help with and they are just waiting to be asked. By helping humans they are able to move to the next level of their evolution, but they can't help until they are asked. Angels also can't go against your will, so be sure that what you are asking for is something you are willing to receive. For example, if you are asking for help getting a job, but in your mind you are repeating negative thoughts about how you can't possibly get the job, the angel will not be able to get past your negative will and certainty that you can't get it. You can however get around this by first asking for an angel to help you stop thinking negative thoughts about getting a job and then ask a second angel to help with getting a job. To bring angels into your life and request their help all you have to do is:

1. Say either out loud or in your mind, "Angel expert in ___ [traffic, travel, in-laws, bosses, etc..], please come to my aid."
2. Pause quietly for a few seconds until you feel a presence.
3. Give specific instructions for what you need or want done and thank the angel.
4. After the situation is over or you have received the help you asked for, thank the angel a second time. It is important to show gratitude in advance and after the fact.

There you have it, three simple ways to get your day off to a good start with magic. Give it a try and see what happens for you once you start introducing magic into your life. Practice daily rituals for several weeks and then stop for a week or two. This may make it even more obvious to you how magical rituals have been at work in your life and magically enhance it.
