Hi my name is Phyllis I'm a Wiccan priestess, founder of the tradition of aura. So what people always want to know about is magic. Do Wiccans practice magic, do witches practice magic? And the answer is, everybody practices magic. The very first spell that you learn is when you were told to blow out the candle on your birthday cake and make a wish. Fact is, everybody's practicing magic and we're doing it all the time. Just don't know it. We do it in a conscious way and a responsible way. Because that what Wic is, its a path of personal responsibility, it's a spiritual path, it's a path of personal responsibility.
What is magic, then? T hat's the question, what's magic? And there is a wonderful old classic definition that most people know about. It was, there was Crowley definition and there is the really fabulous definition by Dion Fortune who's part of the Golden Dawn which was popularized by Starhawk. Magic is the art of changing consciousness at will. And that's very true. A lot of what we do is about shifting consciousness. From the mundane, the beta consciousness of not getting hit by a car when you cross the street to what you call magical consciousness which is awareness of the sacred that's present in the world, awareness of non ordinary reality. Awareness of the signs and the indications, the messages that you're getting from the sacred. Aware of its presence in the world that you're in as well as in yourself.
But consciousness is not just about the mind. The old model said you cast a circle, you chanted or you danced to raise energy. But essentially what you were doing was visualizing, you were using creative visualization which is very popular now. You were visualizing the outcome of the event. So, you want to fall in love so you...you see this a lot in new age practice, you'd make a long list of all the qualities that you want in a guy and you would visualize him and you would see him and in Wiccan practice and all indigenous practices and magical practices you would then raise energy which is generally done with chanting or dancing or running or something sort of athletic and the energy would be directed into what we call a cone of power into that image. People will say, into the akashic planes. You hear that a lot in the new Age world now as well. And then it would manifest.
I have a lot of problems with this old definition. Which I talked about at length in with crafting. First of all I think, magic is not...most of all...magic is not just about the projection of a thought form or the projection of your will which was the Crowley portion of the definition . It is about changing the outcome of events through your energy, through your intent. It is all of those things. But that definition is much too limited because it's confined from the neck up. It's about consciousness, a little bit about will, and a little energy generated by the body. But it's about what you intend. And while that's important, there's a greater magic that's going on. And that's the magic of a sacred world. That's the magic of a world that's divinely alive and aware of you. It's the magic that you experience once you've encountered the divine in the world.
When I the first book I realized that the most profound magic that I wanted to write about was not this spell or that spell or whatever, although those can be wonderful and they can manifest. But the real magic, the extraordinary unambiguous magic that I encountered once I realize that the world was alive, that the world was conscious. That's the real change of consciousness. Awakening to the fact that you live in a living universe, a divinely living universe. Once that connection is made that's what the practices are for. To put you into contact with it. To get that blindfold off so that you're seeing it and experiencing it and feeling it. That its a reality. It's not imagined, it's not imaginary. It's not supernatural. Magic is not supernatural. Miracles in the Abrahamic faiths tend to be supernatural. That's what a miracle is. They think of it as supernatural. For us magic is utterly natural.
Because the divine is everywhere and it's constantly expressing itself. And once you've had that connection once you've made that discovery and the relationship starts, the dance starts, its the universe that's leading you. I think it does this for all of us. It's just that some of us pay attention. Those of us called to this path and I think it's a path that anybody can practice because it's practices that anybody can master. When you hear, when you see, when you listen when you allow it to guide you in the dance

This is an educational video about the wiccan religion and people are saying how it's wrong.. Would you do the same if a christian priest was informing you about their practice? Leave her alone.

Nice Video clip! Excuse me for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Ponlena Substratal Prestige (do a search on google)? It is a good one off product for using these effective spells to get what you want minus the headache. I've heard some interesting things about it and my best friend Jordan got amazing results with it.

Kudos for the Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Ponlena Substratal Prestige (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one of a kind product for using these effective spells to get what you want minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical results with it.

This is incredible. About a week ago, I was doing some research on religions and belief systems, because I was raised in a southern Catholic family and I just never felt like Christianity spoke to me or made sense. I looked into paganism after discovering my beliefs aligned closely with the religion, and thus found your videos. And as I've been researching, I've been saying all week that I feel as though the universe is trying to show me signs of encouragement, to keep me on this path. And I've NEVER been spiritual or intuitive before- I'm highly skeptical. And yet, after 26 years of no sign from "God" or Jesus, the moment I feel like I've found my religion, I start to see signs everywhere. I'm starting to believe quite strongly that the universe (which seems to be my chosen word for the physical manifestation of the divine) is alive, listening, and aware.

My sister is a Wiccan. Though I am a Christian and don't follow the Wiccan faith I also do not judge anyone who does believe in another religion than what I believe. As Christ said, Love one another as I have loved you." I think that sums it up perfectly.

I actually found this video rather informative and rather important to the pagan and wiccan faiths. I however do not see why so many people have a problem with wicca or the pagan paths. most of the comments in this video on the comment selection where bashing her simply because she is different from every one else. I for one really enjoyed this video and hope that she makes many more like them. blessed be one and all.

So if I produce music that means a lot to me and I dance to it as a form of a ritual, I'll bring energy to my presence and will be able to send it to my intended outcomes and receive them?

I am a bit late but yes, art forms can be a means of getting your magic out there. Music, literature, drawing, etc. All these can help bring a shift of consciousness and impact the living world around and within you.

@@thegoldenradio8858 destruction forces are also divine, polarization in nature is not bound to the concepts of good or evil which are concepts fabricated by men... the sacred and divine is more related to universal conciousness connection or cosmic love and compassion rather than any fisical energy... in my humble opinion

I don't like grownups who believe in fairy tales, and I will not pretend they don't exist. I will debunk all such nonsense wherever and whenever I find it, and when the subject proves resistant to reason, as they usually do, I will gleefully point and laugh. If you don't like it, feel free to turn me into a toad. Or cast magic missile, I won't even try to roll a saving throw.

Bengu Buyukdere Being a rationalist is being like ISIS? That is a MASSIVE stretch, to put it mildly. ISIS believes in silly, unproven supernatural nonsense, and so do people who think they're wizards or whatever. And unlike either group, I don't. There is nothing subjective about what constitutes fairy tale magic; it's fake, that's all there is to it. If you think you're capable of producing genuine magical effects, there are a number of sceptical societies that offer significant cash rewards, assuming you can prove it in a controlled setting. Not to mention the wealth and fame you'd undoubtedly earn from it anyway. You'd become world-famous overnight. And yet none of these warlocks or witches will step up to the plate and demonstrate their powers around people capable of testing them. Odd, that.
@bengubuyukdere4995
@bengubuyukdere4995 8 лет назад
+Jacob Hoss I don't think you got my point. It is all about "RESPECT". And from not respecting others beliefs point of view, I do not think it is a massive stretch. It all starts with "no respect" attitude.
