First of all, you need to realize that there are no spontaneous thunder storms, no gusts of wind blowing in your face from out of ancient tomes, no waving your wand and making stuff happen. If that's what you were thinking, you don't even need to read the rest of this. Those things are not magick, they are ridiculous!

No one can just give you a set of words to say, tell you what candles you should light. Magick is a skill that takes work, effort, and study. Spells a person write themselves are always best, but to design a spell, you have to study the properties of plants, stones, colors, etc and learn about astrological timing. It takes a lot of practice to get it right. If you just do a "spell," you may as well talk to an unplugged toaster and expect it to work.

Magick never breaks the laws of nature. It works with nature to manifest will. The only part of magick that really matters is one's mind. A person must raise personal energy and focus it to a goal and sent it out into the universe. It takes a lot of effort, so anyone who wants to do magick to get the easy way out, not going to happen. Also, nothing will just appear out of nowhere and you won't get everything you ever wanted. Expecting it to just spontaneously work is like expecting to do a black belt routine in a martial art without doing any training.

Magick is not supernatural. It is a force of nature that is yet unexplained by modern science. People used to think fire and thunder were supernatural, too. You can't break the laws of nature. GO SWIMMING!

Tell you what: When you're willing to practice for an hour a day, read till your eyes fall out and do something that isn't absolutely ridiculous, email me. If you just want to do the impossible with zero effort, get lost.
