The Science Of Magic

Most people who became interested in Wicca do so because they first have and interest in magic. It is, of course, only small part of Wicca as a religion. But if you think about in as a whole, Wicca is all about magic. Wicca is about creation, spiritual growth and transformation. Magic is all of those things.

Everything is composed of energy. Everything that you see, everything that you touch and much that you cannot see or touch is made of energy. In fact, you are also made of energy. Your body, which seems so solid, is made of endless numbers of microscopic particles held together at the sub-atomic level by energy.

Modern day scientists have discovered this. But the Druids of Europe, untold many years ago, knew this as well. The witches that came after them did not forget and this knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation in many pagan religions.

If you have read the ancient maxin, "AS ABOVE, SO BELOW" you will understand this. Just as we live is a vast universe filled with countless stellar bodies, whole universes of a different nature exists within us. Worlds exist within other worlds.

The electro-magnetic energy that holds electrons and protons and other microscopic particles together goes by many different names. In Asia it is known as Chi. In Polynesia it is Mana. The Iroquois called in Orenda. In Germany it was Od. Even in Stars Wars it existed as the Force. In modern times it is most widely known as Psychic Energy. No matter it's name, it is all energy.
Energy constantly evolves, transforms and renews. It is always in motion. This motion is in response to our thoughts and emotions. Most of us are unaware of it. An even smaller group are those who truly understand what is happening. It takes it's shape from us. It reacts to us. It happens naturally and instantly, just as water behaves when you place your hand into. It gives way and reforms around your hand. This is so with energy as well.

However, if you were to bring your conscience mind to this process, it would be entirely different. This natural occurrence that is outside of our control would become an exact and conscience tool that we can control. That is MAGIC! The art of consciously focusing and controlling energy.

Magic cannot be done on an everyday conscience level though. Magic requires a much high level of consciousness in order to work. This is sometimes called the Higher Self or the Alpha State. It is not hard to reach this level. However, it is sometimes hard to learn how to reach it. It takes much practice and effort to do. Once you are experienced, it will come as naturally as breathing.
