Though
magic has been shrouded in myth and mystery for many centuries, it is
really no more mysterious than shifting consciousness at will. When we
change our consciousness, our whole outlook on reality will change, and
that creates ripples of transformation all around us. Our thoughts are
very powerful! They create our reality. That is magic!
There are ancient magical paths and mythologies laid out in every
cultural
tradition, any of which can be valuable to the magical initiate, but
the Celtic path is unique in that it is firmly rooted in the shamanic
Underworld
traditions of the Faery realm. Grounding our magical practice
with such deep roots
allows us to expand our consciousness to cosmic dimensions in a
balanced way.
External
experience always reflects our inner reality. Expand
inwardly and your outer experience will expand. Similarly,
as above, so below - when we explore the mysteries of the Underworld
and Faerie realms,
we discover our
connection with the Overworlds of stars, Sun and Moon, the angelic
realms, and the realms of sky Goddesses and Gods. That's
the essence of true Magic! (Sometimes
spelled Magick.) The
laws of nature guide the process of Magic. We
do not seek to change or control nature, but rather to align with it
so perfectly that we become part of the synergistic and synchronistic
flow of creation.
Magic
is:
-
ecstatic revelation
- relationship between Inner Self and Otherworldly Beings
-
alignment with the Cosmic Oneness of All That Is
-
communion with living Spirits of
Nature, Earth, and Cosmos
Magic taps
into the ancient wisdom of our ancestors, while also
expanding our awareness of the rhythms of the Universe and the
whispers of the future. It
sets in
motion new currents of possibilities, weaving new threads into the
tapestry of life, and lays upon us the profound responsibility of
creating
new realities.
In short, magic can and will change your life. If
you
approach it with positive intent in a spirit of love and service, you
will reap rewards beyond your wildest dreams.
What is a Mystery
School?
In the past, magical knowledge was strictly guarded. Magical initiates
kept magic to themselves in order to protect this powerful wisdom from
improper use by unscrupulous people. They studied the magical laws of
the universe in secret. That is why their gatherings were called
mystery schools. Thanks to these wise ancestors, magic has survived
witch trials, book burnings, and persecution for many centuries, all
over the world.
Fortunately, the
need to hide our magic is past. Though there are still
unscrupulous people in the world, there is also a positive energetic
shift occurring that will undermine the power of those who would use
magic for negative purposes. This is the time when all things shall be
revealed. Both dark secrets and powerful wisdom are now available to
anyone who is willing to seek them out.
Magic operates with its own karmic law. Whatever you do to another will
come back to you threefold, so no sensible practitioner would seek to
harm another. The most
basic law of magic is "Harm None." So magic has its own
built in protection. It does not need to be hidden.
Why an Online
Magic School?
With the advent of the Internet, magical teachings can be sent anywhere
in seconds. This is important, because more and more people are waking
up to discover the reality of magic - or at least wonder about its
possibilities. There is a new hunger that needs to be filled.
Many people are tired of the materialistic reality that permeates our
modern world. They seek something deeper and more meaningful, something
rooted in ancient wisdom. The shamanic
magical
path provides direct experience of spiritual realities and the
benevolent beings that exist beyond the sensory realm. It is time for
people to wake up to these realities and become citizens of the
multi-dimensional cosmos.
The Purpose of Magic
There are three important purposes for magic:
* Personal and planetary healing
- which can be quite profound! This includes creating bridges of
consciousness between the human, faery, angelic, animal, and plant
realms
* Exploration of realities beyond
the manifest world - including the realities of ancient
gods and
goddesses, faeries, ancestors, and angels, as well as the spirit realms
of plants, minerals, and animals
* Manifesting new uplifted
realities
- Law of Attraction dictates that what we focus upon will become our
reality
In
working with magic we learn to focus our thoughts and feelings in order
to shift our inner awareness in positive ways. We explore the
dark shadows as well as the bright lights of our inner reality and
bring back
treasures hidden there. These
treasures make us more balanced and whole, because they are actually
parts of ourselves that we have forgotten or misplaced.
-
We work within the wheel of the year, honoring
the phases of the moon and the cross quarter days, Solstices, and
Equinoxes.
-
We explore the
Otherworlds represented by the cosmic Tree of Life. These worlds are
recognized in all shamanic traditions as the Upper, Middle, and Lower
worlds.
-
We enter into the rich
mythology and lore that was passed down to us by our ancestors, in
which much magic is hidden.
-
We work in the tradition of
the Druids, faeries, and Merlins to balance the
relationship between human, animal, plant, and faery realms.
