Our world is beautiful, full of power and promise. However, many of us who come into this world with magical knowledge are slowly conditioned (or brain-washed) into believing that the only way to live fully is to unconditionally surrender to an invisible God.

Nothing is further than the truth. This invisible energy that permeates every atom in the Universe is also present in us. And the spirits that reside in us are equally powerful at directing the energy to manifest changes that we desire in our life. In other words, our spirits have the power to create our future without the "control" of any other entity in this world. However, we are not alone in this creation. We can co-operate with other entities and elements and ask for their assistance and guidance just as a child learning to walk asks an adult for help. Even without the adult's help, she may be able to walk, but it may take some more time, that's all!

Magick is the practice of using all of our powers to create changes in the Universe. As most of us know, these changes can be beneficial to everyone or may even harm everyone. Since the Universe is also a living, thriving, conscious entity and a sum total of all the energy that is present, it balances the negative energy by sending it back to the source it came from. Magick has been around since humans appeared on Earth. It is the most natural way of thinking and creating the world around us. Magick spells are personalized attempts to use our own energy in order to achieve our goals. It is the imposition of human will on nature. Just as our mind creates energy, words (sounds), objects, chants, movements (dancing) etc can add to the power of the spells. To cast spells, we need to know:

1. The end goal
2. The path to get to it.

The best way to find the path to our goals is to sit down and meditate about it. For example, Love is desired by almost everyone on earth. But the "definition of love" varies widely. Let's assume that we are doing a love spell. The first thing to do is to write down your thoughts on what your future needs to be. You can imagine even the tiniest details and make your own plan. The best way to get into the realm of creation is to meditate. To enable us to enter that deep meditative state, we can use the help of many items such as candles,

Many of the objects we see around us, especially the natural ones, are full of energy and power that we can use in our spell. The celestial bodies including the Moon and the Sun, planets and stars are all here to help and guide us in our journey. So we can create a ritual that enhances our experience and establishes our intentions more powerfully by just including these entities in our spell plan.

Most of us at one time or another has wanted to look more beautiful. However, the definition of beauty varies around the world. Depending on the race, country, hemisphere, weather, and many other criteria, being more beautiful may mean looking darker, whiter, rounder, skinnier, with large eyes, with smaller eyes, with large nose, smaller nose, etc.

You get the idea. Beauty means a lot of different things to people all over the world.

Glamour magick consists of spells that witches use to temporarily appear more "glamorous" or beautiful. Remember that physical appearance is not easy to change. Most of us are the way we are because of our genes and our habits. By changing our habits, we may be able to change some of our characteristics.

However we can create an illusion of change such as wearing makeup around the eyes to make it larger and more pronounced.

Glamour magick enables us to temporarily change our view of ourselves. Or may be even to change other's perception of our beauty. Remember that inner beauty is more important for a successful life than external beauty as the wise people insist on the truth that "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder". Moonbeams bath spell One of the most sacred and popular among the ancient Romany spells is the Moonbeams Bath Spell. The Moon Goddess is perceived as the giver of Magick as well as Feminine power.

Moonbeams are charged with energy and when they fall on our periphery, they charge us with amazing beauty and strength. On a full moon day, stand naked inside your room or outside if you can do so privately. The moonbeams should come through the window if you are in a room. Move around and allow the moonbeams to enter you and enhance your beauty with their powers.

Visualize your dreams coming true. Whatever you need, thick tresses, beautiful eyes, full lips, weight loss, weight gain, etc, remember that nothing can faze the Moon Goddess. Be descriptive in your explanation and thank the Moon Goddess for guiding you and for making your dreams come true.

Offer her some wine from a chalice as libation. You may throw some cookies and a kiss to the Goddess as you complete the spell. Crown of Glory spell This spell is effective if you think that your hair is thin and wispy. For this spell, you need an onion, a shot of vodka and 1 tablespoon of honey. On a new moon day, while you sit in a warm bath with the smell of herbs in the air, mix the concoction of Onion juice, vodka and honey together.

While you sit in the bath, slowly massage your scalp with this liquid. Chant: "My hair grows as the Moon grows". Leave the mixture on your head for about thirty minutes and then wash it off with shampoo. Repeat on every new Moon day until you are happy with the results.

Reading aura can be a fun and exciting line of work to get into. Everyone's aura changes color at any given time depending on what they are doing, what is going on around them and the situations they are involved with.

Here are the basic color and meanings with each below to help explain a bit more on reading aura colors:

Red: This is the densest color and creates the most friction. This color deals with money worries or obsessions; anger or non-forgiveness; anxiety or nervousness.

Orange: This deals with vitality, vigor, good health and excitement. It is suggestive of energy and stamina, creative, productive, adventurous, courageous, outgoing social nature; currently experiencing stress related to appetites and addictions.

Yellow: TIt is the color of awakening, inspiration, intelligence and action shared, creative, playful, optimistic, easy-going.

Green: It is a very comfortable, healthy color of nature. When seen in the aura this usually represents growth and balance, and most of all, something that leads to change.

Blue: It is suggestive of cool, calm, and collected issues, along with caring, loving, sensitive, and intuitive.

Indigo: This color is suggestive of intuition, sensitive, and deep feeling.

Violet: The most sensitive and wisest of colors. This is the intuitive color in the aura, and reveals psychic power of attunement with self.

Black: This color draws or pulls energy to it and in so doing, transforms it. It captures light and consumes it.

White: This color relates to other energy. A pure state of light. It is suggestive of spiritual issues, etheric and non-physical qualities, transcendent, and higher dimensions.

There are many other colors your aura can shown as well as variations of these colors, such as turquoise is a color combination of blue and green and relates to different meanings.

I have explained the 7 main colors on the visual spectrum as well as black and white as these are the major ones that are shown in an aura reading. Other colors can be shown as well such as gold, silver, lavender, as well as variations of the above mentioned 7 main colors.

Metals were seen as valuable by pagans even though they did not really know how rare they were and precious, they put great symbolism on their strength, the ability to create weapons and their longevity. Leaders were buried with chattels and weapons of the strongest metals and the rarest stones, which also held great symbolic strength.

Pagans, although strongly regulated by the cycles of the earth it self, showed us perhaps ways to respect nature and work with her instead of against her. Because their lives were so closely tied with the cycle of life and the seasons, it is no wonder they placed huge importance on gaining favors to obtain fertility and good harvest so they could get through each year and survive into the spring and summer.

Whatever faith we have ourselves, sometimes, you begin to think a little touch of the pagan is not such a bad thing!

Even though the terms pagan and paganism have shifted in meaning to the general public over the years, even though there has never truly been a consensus accepted definition of these terms, we do know that there are many traditional pagan symbols that resonate throughout all forms of paganism, from ancient polytheism to modern neopaganism. Thus it is ironically easier to define their meaning than the meaning of paganism itself!

There are thousands of symbols and one would not be able to list them all in a book let alone one short essay. That said, there are some which stand above the rest in terms of importance and frequency of use and it is those I have come to write about here.

The most well known of the pagan symbols is the pentagram. Unfortunately it is also the most misunderstood. It is the symbol people who are against pagan concepts use to distort paganism into glorified Devil Worship. The horror movies do not help matters. Seeing as how pagan concepts predate all forms of Catholicism and Christianity this view is patently false.

That is not to say this symbol is not used in Black Mass and other forms of Satanism. It is. But it is turned upside down and for those people symbolizes something entirely different than the pagans they stole it from!

Horoscopes appear in numerous magazines and newspapers and are even more prevalent with the influx of the Internet.

It is not uncommon for people to read these horoscopes and try to take the advice personally and apply it to their own lives. Even some public skeptics can occasionally be caught taking a glance at the horoscopes and secretly thinking about how the information applies to their life.

While horoscopes can offer advice on a wide cache of life events, everything from love life to picking lottery numbers, one area in which they present much advice is that of the health of the person with a particular zodiac sign.

A long time ago, I happened across such a magazine article that was specifically about medicinal astrology. When I compared the information for the health problems it discussed for my present and future to what I knew of my own health, I was quite surprised at the accuracy of the explanations and predictions pertaining to my sign. I was well aware of my own health strengths and weaknesses, and the horoscope directly correlated with the condition of my present health and the likelihood of my future health. Since then, I have continued my exploration of astro-medicine.

The arrangement of planets during the moment of the birth of a child specifies predisposition to disease that can arise at moving planets through sensitive areas of Natal cards during his/her lifetime. In astrology, there is a rule that says, "Stars assume, but do not force."

Therefore, it is important to remember that influence of planets on the health of a person can always be weakened by self-discipline, a correct diet and appropriate thoughts. Until now, traditional medicine has dealt only with diagnostics and treatment of illnesses after signs of disease presented and the patient visit a doctor because he/she is already sick.

During our time, however, a growing number of doctors silently use astrology in the diagnostics of some diseases. These doctors know that in cases of serious diseases, early astrological diagnostics can define border between a life and death.

Guardian angels, birth guides and spirit runners, what are all of these things?

I have been working with my own personal angel, guides and runners for as long as I can remember. I was born with a wonderful gift, as alot of us are, but was fortunate enough to have my gift developed and enhanced throughout my lifetime to where I am today.

All of these different types of spirit forms can come in and out of our lives at any given time. We are all born with at least two different birth guides. Some are born with even a few more depending on their spiritual and life path that is chosen. These birth guides are yours, and yours alone. They work only with you and the spiritual realm to help you on your physical pathway through life as well as keep open lines of communication between you and the spirit realm. Each birth guide has its own job in your life.

You may have one that is more of a protector role. You may have one that is more of nurturing role. Each and every one is different, just as we are.

Guardian angels are here to watch over and protect us on our physical existence in this Earthly plane. They are the ones who step in just at the right time when accidents happen or things come out just by the skin of our teeth and we sit back and wonder how, it is because of our guardian angels.

Spirit runners, or runner guides as some others refer to them, are like temporary guides who come into our life for a specific reason. Maybe we need some extra energy protection in our life at a certain point, or maybe some extra guidance or help in a love area. These are the spirit runners who come and usher in their expertise of this area when it is needed most. As soon as this area of our life has been resolved and completed they leave as quickly as they came in. Runners can also be with more then one person at one times, just as angels can be.

So how do we get in contact with them? Great question! Start with meditation, as quieting the mind is a wonderful way to start opening yourself up to them.

Look for signs as well. Literally ask a question that you are wanting the answer to, whether it be out-loud or in your mind, and wait and watch for signs to show you the way!

Opening yourself up energetically is another great way for ascension purposes that you can make stronger communication links between you and your guides, angels and runners.

So take a step back and see what signs are being shown and ask for help and make as much with your communication with them as you can, as they are here to help us!

Many Blessings and Love and Light

A great shift is in the making: A time for very deep purification and cleansing from the inner core within ourselves and within the Earth up to the outer manifest reality. How this will all play out is our choice.

Many will understand the need for inner and outer focus on unity and love. However, many others will remain under the grip of their programmed old ways and thus experience this world with much fear while focusing on dis-unity.

This is a time where our greatest force shall emerge from its hidden inner recesses as we face our greatest challenge: a transformation and trans-evolution of mankind when our thought processes transmute from a harsh concentration on lack toward a gentler constant awareness of the beauty and unity of all within the ONE that we all are here to manifest.

This is a time prophesied for eons where, in this world created around the notion of polarity, the "real" caring and nurturing Female energy is ready to interpenetrate each of our hearts and balance out the Masculine expansive powerful energy that has overtaken alone much of Creation and destabilized it. It is in the balancing and the unity of the two that our inner smiling probable future lays. Please allow this great and sacred energy in, and wish deeply for unity, for in that act lies the path to our happiness and salvation.

All great changes bring about in many much initial resistance, the degree of which will define the course of this Creation for a long time to come.

As many impacting events are about to happen, and even more unfold in the next months and years, often in an accelerated manner, one core issue will emerge as paramount in being the only real question to be asked and the only solution to be had.

"Where does your joy and ecstacy lay?"

Does it lay upon a world where all thoughts and common efforts are on compassion, forgiveness, unity, happiness, and the notion that we are all - without any exception -connected within the notion of ONE?

Is it your truest desire to unite the parts within yourself, the family without, and our greatest and most beautiful family: mankind?

Or does you joy and ecstasy lay upon events, stories, legends, and philosophies which evoke and trigger separation, elitism, fear, violence, control, gore, and the anti-force to the sacred notion of Unity of all and everything within the One and Only?

Do you want to unify all polarities to usher the proclaimed glorious era, or polarize even more? For this is the only question to be asked.

Please, I beg of you, watch carefully what you invite in your heart.

If you invite within and resonate only with what unites us as one family and therefore exalts life, then the peace of the ONE, wondrous Creation, and life, longer that you can ever imagine, will be yours.

However, if you invite and resonate within upon visions of death, fear, and all that differentiates, divides, and separates us, then war, suffering, insecurity, and death will be yours.

All great spiritual masters came to tell us of this choice and the two ways of seeing the same reality, and some even expressed it in their lives and experiences on purpose, in order for us to understand the consequences.

A glass is either half full or half empty depending on your focus of attention. Both are true at the same time. It is your focus which will determine which path you will experience. You can either focus on what is lacking, or what is wondrous. You can focus on the unity and common thread of all existence, see the spectacular awe-some reality of creation, and experience the miraculous, or focus on what is lacking and then experience nothingness.

Please do not fall into the trap of joy and ecstasy for death again.

Please fall in love with yourself again, and with all your human brothers and sisters. For all are precious, magnificent, and sacred expressions of the ONE life force flowing through all living things.

What Binaural Beats Are... Binaural Beats are Not a "New Age" Fad. Binaural Beats have been researched for almost 170 years. The human brain goes through many frequency cycles during each day. Different frequencies produce different effects to the human consciousness. Using this information, it has been discovered that the brains receiving and operating frequency can be altered by sound waves. Many of the most powerful brain frequencies are under 20 Hz. Since the ear itself does not respond to frequencies below 20 Hz, Binaural Beat Technology came about which uses the inner wiring of the brain to produce the frequency with perfect accuracy.

How Binaural Beats Work... Binaural Beats work by broadcasting two separate frequencies in each ear. For example, if you wanted to tune your brain to a 7 Hz frequency, you could play 200 Hz in your right ear, and 207 Hz in your left ear. The brain will compensate for the difference between the two and produce a third tone that will be exactly 7 Hz. This will result in your brain frequency being lowered and tuned to the desired 7 Hz operating stage.

What To Expect... Simply stated, Expect Results. Binaural Beats directly stimulate the brain by altering the operating frequency. Some of the common physical effects are:

#The body feeling heavy and the inability to move freely
#Total relaxation of the entire body from head to toe
#Vivid visualizations, colors, and patterns
#Separation of the conscious and subconscious mind
#Anxiety, Stress, and Tension Relieved
#Feeling of sedation or not feeling the body at all

Every persons brain is different, and every recording we sell uses different frequencies. There is no exact answer to what you will experience. Some minds are more open to suggestion, and some are stubborn. Many people have absolutely "Wild Experiences", while others have more mild effects. Although each of our recordings is specifically designed for a purpose, experiences will differ person to person.

So, it's over three years on since the hit dvd 'The Secret' took the world by storm. Can you remember your first viewing of the movie? For many people it was a highly memorable occasion and for some, life changing. Many people finished watching 'The Secret' with renewed optimism and hope for life.

Disappointingly for many however was their inability to transfer that intial burst of enthusiasm and energy into an actual real sustained assault on using the law of attraction in everyday life. In fact the vast majority of people are unable to make the secret work in their favour, particularly after just a few goes trying to do so. If this sounds like you do not be dis-heartened or despondent. Rather like learning a new language, it is a gradual process, of course you wil make mistakes but that doesn't mean you give-up, you just keep trying adjusting your approach until you get the results you are looking for. If it's not working for you right now then maybe it is that you just need some more practice.

I realize that may sound a touch patronizing, to say, 'be positive', 'do not give up' and so on, particularly when the state of the planet today leads us to think more of failures than successes, what with the state of the world economy, natural disasters and mindless acts of violence that we so often read about these days.

Of course if your thoughts and feeling are reflecting these bad times then that is what you are going to draw towards you. So what is the real answer? How can I make the secret, positive thinking and the law of attraction work for me even after all of this time?

Well, here are a few tips as to how to do so:

Stop, stopping yourself from receiving
Patience


So rather than using the law of attraction, positive thinking and the secret as some unique magic wand, treat it as a simple effective process that you have to go through in order to obtain your desires. Look at it that way and you will get there a good deal quicker.

By: Tim Ryan
Trainer on the power of positive thinking

Patience

The world around us seems like a miracle in itself at times. Huge towering mountains, ridiculously advanced technology and so on but none of those things came into existence overnight. The world has certain laws that all things must abide with. Using the law of attraction isn't going to change them, it can only make them work in your favour and with you. So if there is something you desire, give it time to develop, don't expect miracles overnight, simply be patient!

Being patient will enable you to enjoy the process of achieving your goals,attaining your desires and will also stop you from becoming demotivated and giving up due to frustration. 3. Do you part through educating yourself. Don't view the secret and law of attraction as express delivery packages, as already said this is not the case but do think how you can accelerate the process. What action is it that you can be taking in order to attain positive outcomes. Often this will come in the form of education regarding what it is you want, maybe a particular book, course or whatever, but be proactive and do your part.

Like an infant trying to take their first steps, you have to do it yourself but you will get there a lot quicker if you can observe someone else who has achieved success. Mix with those people who are there already and it will help you gain a more vivid picture of what it is you want and of what you have to do to get there.

Stop, stopping yourself from receiving.

Yes that does sound a bit strange, I mean why would anyone purposefully stop themselves from receiving something they desired? Have a little think on this scenario:

A young child is asking for directions from a policeman:

"Excuse me officer, would you mind giving me directions to xyz building?, please, would you mind, can you, can you, please, please could you, where is it, please..."

What is happening here is that there is no shortage of asking but unless the child keeps quiet and allows the officer to respond then they are not going to get an answer, ever! Then they may very well get disheartened turn around, walk away and of course miss the answer that the officer was willing to give at any time!

So, you may well be asking for your desires but are you allowing the universe to communicate back with you and giving it a chance to respond to you. It may come in very subtle ways, a line in a poem, a comment from a friend, an idea in a book but if you are not willing and ready to listen then you won't get any answer. For now don't try too hard, simply be happy that you have put your desires out there.
