Magick
What Makes it Happen?

One definition is:"The art or science of causing change to occur in conformity to Will"- A. Crowley.

You can find another entirely LOGICAL explanation here:
What Makes magick Work

YOU can make it happen! In fact, YOU must make it happen. Okay, I'm going to repeat some of what has just been said, but bear with me please and take a long look at those underlined statements. If anything I have said is important at all, this is it. This is all FACT!!

Did you know that your body actually uses very little in the brainwave department? Less than 10% of it's true power When you drop a stone in water, you see waves. Similarly our heart and our brain have wave patterns. The wave pattern of the heart is measured by ECG (electro cardiograph). The brain waves are measured by EEG (electro encephalograph). Scientists have measured these things that we can not see.

Beta (13 to 25 cycles per second)

This brain wave indicates that your conscious mind is in control. It indicates a mental state of logical thought, analysis, and action. You are alert and awake, active, talking, speaking,solving problems.

Alpha (8 to 12 cycles per second)

This brain wave indicates relaxation and meditation. It is a state of relaxed alertness good for inspiration and learning facts rapidly.

Theta (4 to 8 cycles per second)

Deep meditation. This brain wave is associated with a life-like imagination. This is best for suggestibility and inspiration. This brain wave is dominant in children from ages 2 to 5.

Delta (0.5 to 4 cycles per second)

This brain wave shows deep dreamless sleep. Deep relaxation.

Usually the left and right brain waves are independent. They reach peaks separately of each other. During meditation and deep relaxation, the left and right brain waves occur simultaneously. For both, the peaks are reached together. This is called synchronization, which only means that they are now working together. Scientists believe that this synchronization provides more intense & stronger mind power. This is associated with learning large quantities of information very fast as well as increased creativity.

Scientists have long thought that brain activity was beyond conscious control. But experiments have now changed that belief. It is a proven fact that some people can control their own brain waves. PROVEN!!

Okay let's come to the point here. I'll say it again: Brain waves can be measured. This is energy. Scientists are now coming to believe, that your brainwaves are only used to a small fraction of a degree as to what they can actually achieve.

To do magick, you must harness that energy through meditation and education. It takes intense concentration & focus, yes, but it requires much more than that. It requires a merging with the "Spirit". "Merging, however, is an altered state of consciousness which puts the practitioner in touch with the Akasha principal." (note: see text above: What Makes Magick Happen) With meditation, visualization, & practice, you too can learn how to do this.

And next on the list is education. Yes, I said "education". Use that head of yours for something besides a hat. The more you focus that energy from within the heart and the brain, the more power you can obtain. Movement is also energy. So don't just sit there. Get up and move around. Dance around that witches circle and get the air element moving. Feeling invigorated? If not, then you're not doing it fast enough.

There are meditative exercises that you can do to tap into that inner magick that if practiced, will soon become second nature. I am going to explain these practices to you on another page. In fact, I am going to go through each and every step of it with you.

I also intend to post the Tables of Correspondence that you will use in your magickal work, but before I do, I want to make one thing crystal clear. You do not have to use any of the tools, gems, candles, spells, or anything else listed here, but it's a good idea at first. In a coven, however, it would reek havoc to let everyone decide on these things individually. Some might be ready for magick without all the ritualistic items and some may not. There has to be some organization or all is lost before you begin. The solitary witch may use these as well at her or his own discretion---if desired. These things are just to get you in the "mood"; to help alter your state of consciousness. They are not a necessity if you can do it alone, but generally that takes lots of practice.
