"A person's truth is in their own perception... this is my truth."

What is magick, anyway?

This question brings forth a plethora of answers and seems to be as individual as the person who attempts to define it. It is only my opinion I am trying to express within these pages, so I'm not asking that you agree with me! There are massive amounts of information available now on the Internet to anyone who wants to dig for it, and most of it follows traditional paths. Some of what you read here is significantly different than what you will find elsewhere, while some of it will be very familiar. My upbringing in the Craft was isolated, and I didn't even realize how many others there were like me until the Internet took off. I have added in some of the more traditional methods here, however, so you shouldn't feel too lost!
Through the millennia, many things have been called "magick."

The definition of magick has changed as perceptions have changed. The things we do today with science and technology were considered magick only a very short time ago! Magick relies on the same force that pushes this new technology we live with every day ~ energy. It is a part of everything around us, and learning to tap into it and control it to one degree or another is still lumped under the terms "magick" and "witchcraft," although I believe it is just a matter of time before this will also be covered by "science." Perception :)

ANYone can be a Witch, regardless of their religion (although numerous religions frown on that sort of thing!), and you don't need any religion at all if you don't want it. It is an approach to life, a connection to everything in the world around us; tapping into that 90% of the brain that we never use (there has to be a reason it's there, right?). The magick is there in all of us - learn to use all your faculties! Start small, and build upon your experience; with practice, you will strengthen your connection to the world around you, and in return you will feel better, stronger, and healthier!
