Magick of a Gray Witch I Lady Shadow

Magick Many hear, and speak of black and white magick. Hmmm I say really? Hmmm, I thought magick is energy, and energy is neutral, neither black, or white, neither bad, or good, neither positive or negative. Let us discuss energy first. First we all have energy, we all have auras. Therefore we all have magickal ability within us. We know we must respect energy, if you do not, please now put your finger wet into an electrical socket, and come back let me know how that felt. Like energy, Magick calls forth our respect. To respect something we know how to treat and relate to that something. In this case magick. Magick, as we have agreed is energy, and it is neither good nor bad, it is neutral, aka gray. It is your use of energy, magick that can bless or harm you, or others. Here is my other opinion, now although we all have energy, magick potential within us, we are all not meant to be electricians or Witches. Does this mean you cannot do or use magick? Nope. Magick is all around us, we each experience the magick of life. Think about this, your heart beats without help. And you live. You are alive, that is magick. A man and woman can create life, this is magick.

An electrician knows well electricity, its power, and how to channel, how to work with electricity. A Witch is one path of those who know well magick, and the powers thereof. As there are laws in working with electricity, there are laws of magick. Now I am not talking about the law of which Wiccans adhere to….”An it harm none do as thou wilt” There are situations one must harm. I know many will disagree, which is ok. SilverRavenwolf said in one of her books, “ A Witch who does not know how to curse, does not know how to heal”. This is true. The laws or principles of magick 1. Law of Knowledge: to effect/affect a thing you must know the thing. The more you know about yourself the more you can know something else.

2. Law of Identification: with your will you can become anything- be one with anything. (Our only real tool is the brain)

3. Law of Contagion: anything that has been in with something else maintains with that thing through the ether.

4. Law of Names: knowing the True Name of something defines the action you take to focus a function on that thing.

5. Law of Cause and Effect: under exactly the same conditions using the same actions you will always obtain the same results.

6. Law of Infinite Data: there is more in the universe than we can sense or know. Learning never stops.

7. Law of Association: if a thing reminds you of something else it can be used as a simulacrum for that something else for magickal purposes.

8. Law of Infinite Universes: change your perspective in one area and you change your universe. There are always three choices available. This is the First Spell of Change.

9. Law of Invocation and Evocation: there are forces outside and inside of you that you can tap and direct through your brain.

10. Law of Pragmatism: if it works, it is real.

11. Law of Predestination and Free Will: events are predestined, but each person chooses whether and to what extent to participate in them.

12. Law of Polarity: everything contains and implies its opposite.

13. Law of Magickal Entropy: if you leave something alone for long enough, it will change on its own. Don't be too quick to do magick.

14. Law of Serendipity: If you are on the right track, things will come together in unexpected ways, when you least expect them to. You will always be able to trace a direct cause-and-effect path for this when the situation is over.

15. Law of Inefficiency: You can often achieve more useful results from an unsuccessful act of Magick than from one that works the way you intended it to.

16. Law of Synthesis: The combination of any two energy forms will result in a third energy form more complex than the combination of the original two.

These are also found in various books on magick as well, and in Wicca also taught. The laws continue …. 1. As above so below. You can extrapolate the universe from one atom.

2. Rhythm serves as a counterbalancing pendulum.

3. "Chance" is a Law which tends to be ignored.

4. "Time" is a function of perspective, subject to the aggregate psychological outlook of your society.

5. Matter is a function of energy; energy can be converted but not destroyed.

6. Even though there are always three choices available, you can always think of another one.

7.There is no such thing as a wrong emotion, just an incorrect interpretation and manifestation thereof.

8. Don't take yourself too seriously; you are a physical function of a very young race. And Life is a lowlife clever practical joker, that loves to muck up your plans - keep your sense of humor.

9. It may not matter 10,000 years from now, but if it affects you it matters. Understand it and respond accordingly.

10. Never attribute your own motives to someone else.

11. Most of the magic that truly works arises from the intrusion of the unexpected. Use what you are given.

12. Words of Power draw their power from the perceived power of the one who utters the words. So when you say "So Mote It Be" you better KNOW it is so!

13. Don't pee in the beer. Number 13 , honestly no one has explained that one too me, at least that I can recall LOLS.

HERMETIC LAWS 1. The Law of Mentalism: The Universe is mental. We exist in the mind of the All. That part of us which is deity makes up the world and everything in it. 2. The Law of Correspondence: We exist in all planes, astral as well as physical. Or rather planes independent of the physical. 3. The Law of Vibration: Everything is in motion and vibrates with its own rate of the vibration. 4. The Law of Polarity: Polarity = Power. All things are dual, everything contains its opposite. 5. The Law of Rhythm: All things are in some way circular, spiral, cyclic, and in order to function the best way, you must adapt to live in harmony with natural rhythms. 6. The Law of Gender: The law of polarity, applied. Everything has both masculine and feminine components and energies. 7. The Law of Cause and Effect: There are no coincidences, nothing happens by chance. Everything is a cycle. For every effect, there is a cause, and every cause is an effect in something else. The Hermetic Laws are from Esoteric teachings and are one set of many explanations for "how It All works".

My beliefs as a Gray Witch There is a time for everything, including in magick As is written.. From the holy scriptures, KJV Ecclesiastes OR, THE PREACHER 3

A Time for Everything 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8

a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth?

10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 15

That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

The Wheel of life or the Year also teaches us there is a time to plant and a time to harvest, and a time to rest. The Moon cycles, teaches us there is a time to draw in and a time to release. A time to do magick and a time not to, and just be still.

Balance One of the thirteen goals of a Witch is to achieve balance. Balance within, balance and harmony without. Balance in our magick. HMM Achieve Gray LOLs Extremes either way is not wise or good. Do you know why, many do not like goodie toe shoes? They are extreme, on everything being light, and right. In life, it is not all light, and it is not all right, according to how many may think of as right. Yes ,balance is vital, for when we do not have balance we have chaos Life is not all black and white, but grey. Life is mighty colorful. The surface of our Moon is grey The Earth is colorful Mars is red. So is Magick

The Elements There is five Earth Air Fire Water Spirit All have four elements have destructive potentials, as well as positive. We live and therefore see both in action. Spirit embodies all So in magick Hence again see the Gray in Magick. I will add more at a later date and time. Think about though. Lady Shadow
