Calling Spirits

There are spirits all around us. We're not talking just about so-called ghosts here. Energy in our universe, or what some theoretical physicists like Stephen Hawking are beginning to call the "Multi-verse" or multidimensional universe, has formed itself into virtually everything that is possible to exist. All things seen and unseen by human eyes exists in an ocean of energy inhabited by life forms without number. Speaking with and calling or communicating with other-worldly characters is as easy as directing your thoughts and emotions toward them. Sure, "that's just YOUR opinion" you might say. True enough. But it is an opinion born from my own (and many other persons) real-life experiences. Sure, some of us may be "wack jobs" and loonies but there are also those of us who are highly rational people who just happen to be more sensitive to a wider spectrum of reality than most.

Spirits, be they ghosts, angels, demons, astral beings, etc., are intelligent to a lesser of greater degree. Speaking for myself alone, aren't we are better off knowing about entities who may possibly be interacting with our lives behind the scenes? Walking about ignorant of intelligent "personalities" who may be interested in and affecting our private lives is not a good thing.

I propose calling or befriending spirits of a positive, helpful inclination to serve as our friends and allies. Going a step further, characters - even fictional ones- that are archetypal or who have had much human energy 'poured' into their conception have attained a certain independent, objective REALITY. We're talking here about Merlin, Gandalf, Allanon, Aslan and suchlike ones. Now here's the kicker; these characters can even be contacted and consulted as intelligent living entities! This is because they are real entities now. Some people would argue that our own minds create the illusion of independent beings but, in my considered opinion, this is a debatable point.

There is much to say on this topic but let us leave it there for now and I will happily take it up again should anyone desire to discuss it further.

Witches and Wannabes

I've known MANY witches, sorcerers and wizards and other magick folk over the years. Most follow this path for a time, then realize it's not their bag and leave. Experimentation is cool. How do you know if you'll like something unless you try it, right? Even so, I encourage anyone who is 'trying out' the mystical, magickal life - be it Wicca, Witchcraft, Voodoo, Hoodoo, spiritualism, channeling, etc., etc., etc., to really give it a good try. Just reading a couple of books and attending a Sabbat to get your "witchy" feel on does the path an injustice. Take it from someone who is a long time practitioner, it is a wonderful life- if it is YOURS. If it doesn't grab you by the throat, leave it alone. Most true magick folk have felt a strong attraction from very young- usually single digits.

Whatever you do, be true to yourself. No matter what anybody tells you, there is no absolute right or wrong way to follow your magickal path. What "fits" for you will be more effective than following somebody else's method. Magick is about unifying your power with that of Spirit/Nature/Divinity. You can't do that well if you choose to suppress what you are all about.
