I crossed over the threshold of the New Year thinking magically. Reflecting upon past and present experiences where magic has flowed through my intentions and actions, without actually being aware for it. These are just a few thoughts…

Magic, in my limited experience, is primarily effortless. It doesn’t ask for much. I don’t need to work at it or believe it will work. Magic will flow through my life, through the processes of the natural world at an unconscious level, affecting endless cyclic change.

All phenomena is magical and conscious of itself, even though it may lack awareness of the dynamic powers setting all things in motion. Creation is magic. Creation myths reveal the primal act of magic. They are magical blueprints revealing the origin of all things. Creation is an ongoing process. Timeless. Desire is a powerful magical force that directs the processes of change in accordance with itself.

All is potentially sacred and innately magical. The mundane is either entirely illusory, or an incomplete creation. Through the process of re-creation the sacred can manifest. This is where awareness or conscious effort is required. After its initial emergence, the sacred may continue to hide itself. It requires a connection between itself and a conscious mind to recognize, or sense its existence, to bring the magic forth.

Myths are basically narratives that require a deep connection to activate the magical element. It’s the same thing with sacred space.

Nature is a cyclic process complete within itself, flowing, re-creating, manifesting, dissolving. It is an entity of continual potential realization. To fully realize is to live magically. Every moment is an opportunity. With every lost opportunity a new opportunity arises. “Now is the time,” and so is tomorrow.
