My Magical Healing Experience

With gratitude to the Esoteric School, my classmates and teacher, I would like to share my recent magical healing experience. As a student in the advanced magic class, I have been studying and practicing magic for about 12 years. I have had many amazing experiences and witnessed events that 15 or 20 years ago I would never have believed possible. In the Fall of 2012 our class undertook a project to pick one student at a time, address physical concerns and conditions each one had and work on those concerns through magical healing techniques.

I have used magical healing techniques on others and witnessed the positive results, but I had never found myself on the receiving end of being healed by others. When it came to my turn, I was reluctant to share my health concern as I found it a bit embarrassing. For years I have had severe trouble with my digestive system. Ok, no beating around the bush, I'll just spit it out... I am talking almost daily cramping and diarrhea attacks - between six and ten a day. I had been diagnosed many years ago with Grave's Disease, a thyroid disorder. Not knowing any better at the time, I let the doctor radiate my thyroid making it inactive. As time went on I learned how much the thyroid does and began having symptoms related to my now inactive thyroid. Over the last few years when my digestive tract problem kicked in I attributed it to being another symptom of the inactive thyroid. I found that with natural supplements and tinctures as well as a prescription medication I was able to cope fairly well with almost all the symptoms. But for the last few years the digestive tract problem just got worse. I had to cut out more and more foods and drinks from my diet to get by at all. Coffee, spicy foods, fried foods, anything from a restaurant and especially fast food restaurants all became taboo. By the time it was my turn to be the subject of our class project I had not been able to leave my house at all for about 3 weeks as I never knew when the dreaded diarrhea attack would happen. I was desperate, miserable and I couldn't get anything done what with spending so much time on the toilet. My diet at this point was basically just brown rice every meal every day as it was the only thing I could find that didn't irritate the problem. As often happens when you live a life of magic, what you need comes just when you need it. At my most desperate point, this class project came along.

So I gathered up my courage and shared my condition with my classmates and teacher. They all agreed to work on me and were very gracious about what I perceived to be an embarrassing situation. This was at the end of November 2012 and it is now April 2013. That is over 5 months of amazingly good health. I have had none of my previous symptoms including the diarrhea attacks. The tiredness, dry skin, heartburn, acid reflux, fluctuations in weight and lack of energy are all gone. And best of all I have been able to eat Mexican food, eat out with no adverse effects, eat all kinds of foods I hadn't been able to for a long time AND even drink coffee again.

It would take too long in this format to go through all the various magical healing techniques used by my classmates and teacher, but I will tell you that our class meets by teleconference because we all live in different states so all the healing was done remotely. Some of the techniques used for our magical healings included Harold McCoy type healing magic, simulacra healing magic and out of body travel. Spirit guides were involved in most cases and gave guidance also. I know that besides working on what my teacher decided was leaky gut syndrome, my thyroid was also worked on and re-activated.

Even though I have been practicing magic for many years and seen many amazing magical things, I still found myself amazed that the magical healing work done on me was so effective. I am so very grateful to my magical circle of classmates and my teacher for this gift of magic healing. Magic just never ceases to amaze me with what can be accomplished and how it is just so, well... magical!

Magic 2013: Magic 2012 is Over... What Now?

In the past year we have discussed a great deal about magic 2012--in other words, the transition into the Age of Aquarius, the renewal of the Mayan calendar, the interval represented by the year 2012.

You have probably noticed that 2012 is over... so what now? Simple, we move on to magic 2013. Magic 2013 is all about a different kind of magic, and very different from magic 2012. Before we dive in, though, let's take a quick look at the past year.

Magic 2012: A Recap




Magic 2012: What About You?




If you were one of the people who elected to make major life changes in 2012, then you know exactly what we mean. Now, let's move on to magic 2013.

Magic 2013... What Now?
So 2013 is definitely upon us and moving at the speed of light. In case you have not noticed, time has sped up since the change in 2012. Everything is faster in this new age. You ask, and the Universe delivers--right now! So be careful how you think and for what you ask. Karma is also the other factor that has sped up. Remember that Beatles' song about "Instant Karma"? We are now living in the age of instant karma. So do try to keep your side of the street clean! You will definitely know if you have failed to do so!

What is happening to those who made major changes in 2012? We said above that life is a breeze for those people... and it is, compared to the rest of the world, that is. Those efforts made at life changes will definitely bring major benefits. However, life will continue to be inconvenient and "stuff" will still happen. The difference is that there is plenty of Universal help and support out there--you just have to ask. In addition, any magic done in 2013 will be greatly amplified and powerful. If life presents you with situations that seems crazy and impossible, look to allies and magic this year as powerful forms of recourse and adjustment.

What is a Magic Spell?

What is a magic spell, indeed? We get questions all the time about magic spells, what they are, how to create them, how to cast them, and so forth. In fact, it seems to be a subject of such fascination that we have decided to write an entire series of newsletter articles about it.This series of articles will really dig into the process of creating and casting spells, and could aptly be named, "The Anatomy of a Spell"!

What is a Magic Spell: The Definition
But first ... the definition. What is a magic spell? Here is our official word on the matter:


So there you have it. This gives you both a formal and an informal definition of a magical spell--a technical definition and a layman's approach of "a formalized intention." Simple, right?

The Anatomy of a Magic Spell
While the definition of a magic spell may certainly be simple--or at the very least, straightforward--the actual workings of a spell can get a little more complex. The ingredients that go into a spell can take a bit more planning and time and effort than the average Joe may think. Whilst a simple Sun Candle spell can be done with much less effort than what we are about to define in the following section, the spells that are meant to address more complex topics can require much more from the practitioner. This is appropriate as spells are like anything else in life: you get out of them what you put into them.

If we were to break down the anatomy of a spell, we might separate it into these parts:
  1. Define what is wanted
  2. Decide the type of spell to cast (for instance, single candle spell, multiple candle spell, Tarot spell, or spells using archetype technology)
  3. Convert desired outcome into Directors and Limiters (formalized statements of what the spell will and will not do)
  4. Do Tarot readings on Directors and Limiters to determine whether they and the chosen type of spell will achieve the desired outcome
  5. If the Tarot readings are not favorable, revise either Directors and Limiters or spell type or both, then lather, rinse, and repeat until the readings are favorable
  6. Design the spell's necessary ingredients, such as verses, candle carvings, Tarot changes (for Tarot spells), and chosen time to cast spell
  7. Perform Tarot readings on the above ingredients and revise until readings are favorable
  8. Prepare the spell ingredients (i.e., carve the candle or write out steps to Tarot layout changes)
  9. Cast spell at the appropriate time
  10. Perform follow-up Tarot readings at appropriate intervals to determine progress
  11. Make spell adjustments if necessary, up to and including spell take-downs (for spells gone awry)
  12. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the results of your spell!
Whew! That does sound like a bit of work, doesn't it? On the other hand, if you consider that a spell can achieve almost anything you can imagine, then the above-specified level of effort may well be worth it!

In future articles we will take each step in this anatomy of a magic spell and dig in. We will define, explore, explain, and generally give you the gist of each step so that you have an idea of what goes into a solid spell that is not only effective, but also follows the operational laws governing magical practice. So stay tuned!
