The Modern Magical Revival

The modern magical revival has been unfolding for over a century.

As a spiritual movement committed to the resurgence of esoteric knowledge or gnosis in the West, it first began to gather momentum in the final decade of the 19th century.

Magick has since seeded itself around the world in fascinating ways, spawning divergent esoteric groups and organizations.

In terms of actual historical beginnings, however, the story of the 20th-century magical revival commences with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, arguably the most influential esoteric organization in modern history.

All modern occult perspectives—including Wicca, Goddess spirituality, and the Thelemic magick of Aleister Crowley—owe a debt to the Golden Dawn for gathering together the threads of the Western esoteric tradition and initiating a transformative process that continues in the 21st century.

Established in England in eighteen eighty-eight, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn drew on a range of ancient and medieval cosmologies.

It incorporated them into a body of ceremonial practices and ritual grades centered on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, an important motif within the Jewish mystical tradition which, as a unified but nevertheless complex symbol represents the sacred ‘emanations’ of the Godhead.

In addition to the Kabbalah, which occupied a central position in the cosmology of the Golden Dawn, the organization also drew on the Hermetic tradition which had its roots in Neoplatonism and underwent a revival during the Renaissance.

Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, and the medieval Tarot were also significant elements.

Magickal Correspondences and Invocation

Magick teaches us that everything in the Universe is connected.

Correspondences are magickal associations.

They link herbs, animals, crystals, colors, lunar phases, and so on with specific energies, and thus with intended magickal results.

Correspondences are powerful keys that help to open specific doors, and thereby direct magickal energy in desired ways.

For those who have prior knowledge of magick, an understanding may be formed of why certain herbs, candle colors, and so on are used in the spells.

They may also understand why it is recommended that some spells be cast on particular days or during specified phases of the Moon.

If you have no understanding of these things, you can nonetheless make use of magickal correspondences by simply following the directions for the spells.

Names of deities are ancient Words of Power, so we invoke gods and goddesses to boost the magickal power of our spells.

Different deities have dominion over different things, so we invoke them in accord with the intent of our spells.

If you have studied mythology, you may understand why this god or that goddess is called upon in a spell.

If you know nothing about mythology, you can still access of the power of invocation by following spell directions.

Magick: The evils of Magick

“Magic is supernatural.”
“Magic is evil.”
“Magic is dangerous.”
“Magic is illusion.”

These statements, all false, have been passed down to us by earlier generations of nonpractitioners.

Only those who haven’t worked magic believe these ideas to be true.

All of the statements have also been made about many other practices in earlier times: mathematics, chemistry, psychology, psychics, astronomy, and surgery.

These and many other arts and sciences have been pushed from the darkness that lurks behind such statements into the light.

They are no longer considered to be supernatural, evil, too dangerous, or illusionary.

At least two aspects of our lives haven’t yet been ushered into this august group: magic and the religious experience.

Hardline scientists and those sharing their worldview lump these two together because, to them, they’re fantasies with no basis in fact.

Magic, to them, can’t possibly be successful, because there are no known laws governing the mechanism at work in magic, and no known force that could empower it.

They often view the religious experience with a similar mixture of amusement and contempt.

Telling an individual who has established a personal relationship with a deity that deity doesn’t exist will produce predictable results.

The same is true of magicians: they don’t believe that magic is effective; they know that it is.

Slavery in Magick

I do not come to bring absolute truths and no discourse that opposes the personal path of each one.

But we need to talk about slavery in magic, the worst thing is that slaves are slaves to themselves.

Not neglecting any modern magic systems and strands.

But neophytes, interested in the occult, beginners owing to the great mass of “selling ideas” have taken on essential values ​​and principles.

What is said a lot by opening up possibilities has enslaved the magical personal development of many people.

Do not take sides by names and labels, do not be disconnected from the material, and despise your potential power to see the magic on a daily basis.

With training, studies of course.

But what has been seen is people seeking magickal outside help and neglecting themselves.

Not training their minds and adhering to the day-to-day, even if with less effort, personal change.

Which is the basic part of the magician’s life.

Strength and confidence in oneself are given by efforts but they bring ease to all processes because then we feel more secure.

Expecting everything from something that moves and does for you can become a cycle and comfort zone.

Can it lead to disconnection from themselves because if through the personal lens the light and power and “gains” come only from outside where our true importance and recognition of our efforts come in?

Let us be sensible.

Not conniving with illusory ideas and people who call themselves masters, etc.

Try to be a master of yourself and get used to admiring what you add. Do it for yourself, move your energies and we begin to be more aware of the importance of personal work

Connected to Magick

Magic, entities, gods, strands, oracles, everything connected to magic, we first have to understand that it is our work directed also in search of our true transformation that dwells in magic, that moves.

We live in times of working the warrior and resilient archetype. Search our strength in destruction.

It doesn’t matter who you name your son and don’t make and don’t sow to reap.

There are those who skip phases since I prefer to experience from the sickle to the sun, I am not talking do not use magic.

I just want to make it clear, make mistakes, search, dive into yourself, and then start experiencing the magic.

Many perform magic, others experience the opportunity that is sometimes dark and painful but filled with surprise.

Live and feel what you do.

Don’t do it in vain.

We have to hold our whips tight and keep the direction.

We have to go through the books, the ring, our alliance.

We need to stay in the tower and without it we build a rock under our feet.

You will always be the home that needs the most care
