Do God and the Devil
change places in an instant?
The late and great martial
artist Bruce Lee once wrote
that the Chinese believe
that they do just that.
I want to address your possible
beliefs and specifically fear
based thinking in magic
and magicians minds.
The thoughts and emotions
that you hold before casting
a spell or working magical ritual
are magnified by the very same
magic that you do. By a simple
shift in your thinking you may
jump outside the mental box
that you are in and that you
operate through and this may
change everything including
your magical outcome.
Why do so many beginners
fear magic and spirits?
It most likely comes from
fear of the unknown
and the things that
go bump in the night.
However this need not
ever be the case.
Recognize your fears
and gradually face them
and over time they will
fade away. This is known
as systematic desensitization.
When I was young and they
carted me off to grade school
I feared several things.
The Boogy Man, The Devil
with two horns, and having
nightmares. Over time I saw
that these things were transient
and without substance and
unless I gave them importance
and fed them my attention
then they had little to no
importance and eventually
they had none.
