Is magic real?

Is magic real? Yes! Real Life Witches know this because we practice magic. We are proud witches!

This is what I know. 

Understanding magic starts with the science behind thoughts. 

1. Thoughts are electrical signals that jump from one neuron to other neurons in the brain. Thoughts are not ethereal wisps of nothingness, they are physical bits happening in our brains. 

2. Because they are electrical, they are physical things. All physical material and matter has weight and substance. 

3. Because thoughts are physical matter, then they are subject to the quantum physics theory "like attracts like"... so when you think negative thoughts, you attract negative vibrations which can bring more bad thoughts. This also applies to surrounding yourself with negative people, words, news.  Quantum manifestation means that our focused thoughts and positive intentions have the potential to influence and shape our reality. Magic is this but on a MUCh higher level. You apply positive thoughts and outcomes to attractive positive outcomes and positive realities. You can change your reality and this is magic. 

4. Witches are people who live on a much higher level of this skill set and who take this to a much more powerful level. We are highly gifted and skilled in this process. 

This is not crazy witch stuff, or hocus pocus, or wishful thinking. This is a concept that is also used in so many other areas that are considered mainstream. There are several popular books on the "law of attraction " they speak to this exact premise. Also, prayer is the process of communicating our needs to a higher being to influence and shape our reality. Positive affirmations are used by everyday people who say positive things repeatedly to themselves to help change their thoughts, to attract positivity and change their lives. 

To the naysayers, I ask.... why is it such a stretch for people to believe that magic isn't doing the same thing. We use spells (thoughts) to influence and shape our reality. This is obvious to all Real Life Witches because we know that we can't Harry Potter things across the room to each other. We can't put up a small tent that is magically huge inside. We don't have a cloak of invisibility. If you know and accept the real premise of magic then you know that your magic is influencing and shaping your reality, and magic is very much real.   

If you are a witch, then you have the ability to influence and shape reality on a much higher level than most people. 

This comes with responsibility. "An' ye harm none, do what ye will" - but you'd best put a lot of thought into "ye harm none". What you believe should happen for others might not be what others want. If you include others in your magic, be very mindful of what you are doing and what the outcome is to changing their reality.

So in summation:

1. Magic is very real.

2. Magic starts with collected and repeated thoughts/spells that form the basis of changing reality. We layer on traditional magic with crystals and stones, water and wood, wands and tarot. The most effective magic is always in layers (more on that in another blog).

3. Real Life Witches understand the difference between real life magic and Hollywood Magic. 

4. With great magic comes great responsibility. 

5. We witches are highly skilled at magic. We are born with these skill sets and we develop these skill sets. Genetics isn't necessary. 

6. I don't wonder what the naysayers think anymore. Our lives and our practices have put any doubts to bed a long long time ago. 

7. I am grateful to each of you that chooses to be in, or even just visits, my online coven. 

From my witch heart to yours....
