By any name, when you send out a prayer, wish or intention to create change in your life, you are engaging in magic.  It’s a wonderful and exciting cycle of co-creation that starts with a need that leads to inspiration (or desperation) of what spell is required, moves to will and intent to create change and then lands in trust.  Where it usually fails is at the trust step.   We just don’t trust the divine (God, universe, gods, goddess, great being, or any other name) to deliver and we let our fears, blocks, issues, etc. take over the driver’s seat.   Don’t worry, that’s normal and why many people feel that magic doesn’t work.

I might have to agree with them that….. magic doesn’t work, You do.   If you look at magic as the same thing as divine energy it is always there working for you and it’s your own limitations that get in the way.  Look at this is a more practical way.  Air doesn’t work, your lungs do.   You actually have to breathe in air for it to sustain you and fill your cells with oxygen.  You are surrounded with all the oxygen you need but if your lungs are not working you cannot take it in.   Even look at altitude sickness – there is enough air for you to survive but your body has to learn a new way to processes it.   When you are bringing in a new way of being, magic is the same way; you have to learn a new way to process this energy into your cells.

The moment where you start to doubt your magic is the moment you start blocking it and the divine healing it is bring to you.  It is the moment when you start hitting on the bigger, deeper, hidden issue.  Layer by layer we uncover these challenges and there is a way to help your magic stay on track and keep the divine in the driver’s seat; trick yourself.    That moment of doubt, that next issue pushing back on your magic, the moment you touch upon the scary emptiness is when you change up your tools to stay on course.  Have your next candle on standby, change the stones you are carrying, add new herbs to your mojo bag, wear a new oil, etc.  Basically, up your game!

It’s why I always use 3 candles, they all work together to catch all my issues around a particular issue and they will work until I get used to them, then I choose a new combination.  This is how we work the magic, how we breathe it in, learn how to process it and climb a little higher in our journey.
