Magickal Visioning Weekend (Samhain)

This weekend (Samhain), when "the veil between the worlds is thin," consider spending some time nurturing your ability to see, really see. See into, under, around, through, into the past, into the future.

Think of this ability not only as a skill to be developed with dedicated practice--and, yes, it is that--but also as a gift to be received with open hands and a peaceful heart.

In particular, give yourself some quiet, private time, and sit with your eyes closed. Focus on your awareness of your awareness (who am I and where am I now?). When you have a clear sense of your self in that way, shift it ever so slightly from its perceived position in space to the right or the left, or forward or behind.

If you're familiar with the yogic chakra system, you can shift this awareness to any of the chakras that you might like to tune into and explore.

Sit and sense what that feels like and what you now perceive and know that was previously unavailable to you. Do not strain at this practice. Allow it. Ease into it. Become comfortable with it.

In time, you can experiment with shifting your awareness further away from your physical body or explore shifting out of the current time and local place.

Allow this ability to come to you and grow more agile and easily available.
Keep a journal of your experiences as you set yourself stronger challenges.

If you are enjoying this or other aspects of Magickal Day and hummingwitch, please keep me posted on your progress and your questions. If you're serious about this work (and play), I'd love to hear from you!

Have a blessed (and fun) Samhain. For those of you who celebrate this as the turning of a new year, I wish you good health and joy.

Magickal Stillness Day

This Magickal Day is powered by The World.

Today's "card" came to me not by way of imagery, seen in the mind's eye, but by a remembrance of words, specifically these from Eliot:

At the still point of the turning world. (Four Quartets 1: Burnt Norton)

The mage works within an invisibly dynamic stillness at the center of a turning (often erratically-turning) world.

When you feel overwhelmed by circumstances, pull yourself into this still place that has so much energy and awareness and potential for action within it. Know that this is the true you, that you reside comfortably here and that you act from this place. Be at home and be at peace. Do not allow anything to drag you away and drag you down.

Even if you give yourself a few minutes, now and again, to dwell on this thought and experience this sacred and powerful place, you will make a magickal difference in your life. Your decisions, actions and interactions will be healthier, less reactive, more responsive, more effective.

I wish you peace today and all days.

So, what's it gonna be?

Everyone can make magick. Your day is magickal if you choose to make it so. How have you made your day magickal? What is your magickal intent for tomorrow?

Magickal Support Day

This Magickal Day is powered by the Four of Wands.

Today's "card" is an interpretation of the image of a piece of white cloth affixed to a wall by four nails--four supporting nails/four wands. If you haven't read yesterday's Magickal Day, I suggest that you do so that you will understand what I'm doing with these interpretations of non-Tarot-card images.

This image left me with a vivid impression that the cloth would act as a screen for projection or that some kind of information would appear on it in good time.

Perhaps you have been in need of certain information or you are awaiting a response. You could receive an anticipated or an unexpected message shortly. The prominence of the supportive wands/nails in this image suggests a firm, reliable agent of support or mediation, a person or persons without whom the arrival of this message might not occur or might not be recognized or understood. You are counseled to look around you and see to it that you have this person or persons in place in your life, looking out for you and ready to help you claim the message that is intended for you.

In more general terms, today is a good day to assess the existence and strength of your support system.

Wishing you all blessings,

Eva
