Words as Magic

Magic is a science of language - ALAN MOORE

words as magic symbols

From Plato to Jung, and countless other scientists, witches, dreamers and madmen in between, all espouse to an undivided reality of consciousness that lives in other dimensions. The idea that this human material realm is but an echo of something greater. Of some kind of mystery above our collective pay grades to understand.

As such, perhaps the greatest achievement we can know as humans, is to tap into this realm and deliver it to each other. Through moments of love. Of inspiration. Devotion and beyond. To draw from other realms and to create in this one.

It's one of the reasons I love words so much.

Words can shape a reality. They can influence beyond measure. Through our words we are able to create great sadness in another. Or horror. Or love and resurrection. We are able to instruct ideas into action.

words USED CONSCIOUSLY

One of the lessons we inevitably get to in Initiate - my 3 month sex magic container - is that of using words to create a vision. To make a spell.

We do this through imagination first and foremost, we use our gnosis to tap into the other worldly. But then - as we must - Through the conjuring of words that reflect our deepest desired reality. Of making these realities more tangible through using description. Things immediately become more dense and more a part of our own shared world.

A spell must therefore be written. And then, it must be spoken. And spoken in a way that convinces others to believe in it too.

Words - what you say (and often how you say them) - form the bridge between this vast, unknown magical, thing that is human consciousness, human imagination, and the making of the thing into 3D reality.

"what if" as an example of using words as magic

Because of this power, it also pays to be careful with our words. Because of this power, we can turn one another against one another in an instance. (And we have seen this happen.)

During Initiate for example, we have seen women describe something and then have it made manifest almost to a tee before the 3 months are up. 

There is no doubt that the power of the human mind is unfathomable. And if words act as the mind's messenger, then it pays to pay attention.

One of the biggest ways we use our minds (either consciously or unconsciously) is with the phrase "what if..."

In magic, we play we turning that what if to have a positive slant - towards the very things we say we wanted in the first place.

It becomes interesting though - that as soon as we make something concrete, we make a spell, we speak a desire, and we put a stake in the ground to go for it.... suddenly the mind itself can enter a kind of terror.

The "what if..." becomes a whole host of disasters.

• What if it doesn't work?
• What if this is nonsense and I paid for something crap?
• What if it does work and people hate me?
• What if it all goes wrong and I don't like the outcome?

words amplify and shape reality

This is the point at which I instruct participants to be very careful what they say. To watch their tendencies in day to day life and to see what they are creating through the way they speak. To themselves or one another. 

The human brain is often threatened by change. So if you want to change something through the practice of magic, it stands to reason that something small, tired and scared inside of us might have other ideas about that entirely. May even love things the way they are right now (ELLIOT EK - Having is evidence of wanting.)

It is just as possible to use words to amplify a positive outcome as it is to steer a negative one then. This goes beyond just positive affirmation. It's about literally using your voice and expression to birth reality.

What if - can just as easily become:

• What if money just lands in my bank account from somewhere unexpected?
• What if I am invited in?
• What if I am surrounded by belonging evert day?
• What if I am brilliant at what I do?
• What if people benefit from my presence?

As a "maybe" is still a "maybe yes."

HOW TO USE WORDS AS MAGIC FOR NEGATIVE ENDS

Given all of this, it is highly recommended that you catch yourself making yourself small, or determining a failed outcome, by the words you speak. Once you start seeing this, it is pretty hard to unsee - it will likely be amazing how frequently you do this to yourself.

Frequent ways we use words to spin negativity in our worlds:

We complain - to name something is to master it. Therefore, if I constantly speak my fear into reality that I am developing arthritis in my hands, then I become a master of arthritis in my hands.

This is not to say that I MAY have arthritis in my hands. It is not to deny reality. But, as such I do not yet have this diagnosis. So maybe if I speak about the remedies, cures and actions that will make my hands better the outcome will pan out differently for me? I have countless examples of this actually happening.

We gossip - nothing drags the energy down more than this. We use words to try and let off steam, but instead build a whole world of malice and victimhood.

We dismiss ourselves and down play our power by speaking deeply held beliefs aloud often - this is the "oh it's only me" syndrome. "DOn't mind me. I surely could not be capable of such greatness?" type of way of carrying ourselves.

Yuck. Stop that.

HOW TO USE WORDS AS MAGIC FOR POSITIVE ENDS (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

So there are ways we can use our words, language and voice to create in ways that serve us (and those around us). 

Art is a fantastic one - could be the symbol of images or could be the symbols of letters strung together (aka writing.) Either way, to create art that expresses something of our own voice and what we channel from our own longing, inspiration and imagination is a wonderful thing indeed. And magic responds to wonder.

Life is drawn to life.

To speak and share from the muse is a wonderful way to use words in service to your power.

Likewise, another great way to use words as magic is to recite mantras or affirmations.

Words do carry energy behind them. Look at the etymology of the magical command "abracadabra" for example. "I create". I say it therefore it is.

And you don't even have to understand the words in order to have them weave their magic - in Kundalini yoga for example there are a whole hosts of sounds and mantras used to create specific energetic vibrations and change whole states of being with practice (just like magic!)
