MAGICK IS A TOPIC THAT COULD NEVER BE COVERED IN ONE CHAPTER, OR EVEN ONE BOOK…AND YOU COULD ASK SEVEN DIFFERENT EXPERTS, AND GET SEVEN DIFFERENT ANSWERS…AND THEY WOULD ALL BE CORRECT. MAGICK IS COMPLEX AND MYSTERIOUS, WITH AN EQUALLY COMPLEX AND MYSTERIOUS HISTORY THAT DATES BACK TO OUR PRIMITIVE, HUNTER/GATHERER TRIBES…LONG BEFORE OUR ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS EMERGED.

chapter 9 review
MAGICK IS INDIGENOUS WISDOM, AND THE ROOT OF ALL SPIRITUAL TRADITIONS AND WORLD RELIGIONS. BUT IT IS ALSO THE ROOT OF MODERN SCIENCE AND MEDICINE. IN ANCIENT TIMES, THERE WERE NOT WORDS FOR SPIRITUALITY OR SCIENCE, BECAUSE THEY WERE ONE AND THE SAME. ANCIENT ASTROLOGY EVENTUALLY BECAME ASTRONOMY, AND ALCHEMY BECAME CHEMISTRY AND MEDICINE.
OF COURSE, WE ALSO HAVE ARTISTS, AUTHORS, ILLUSIONISTS AND CON-ARTISTS WHO CASH IN ON OUR INNATE FASCINATION WITH THE OCCULT. THIS IS WHY MANY, MYSELF INCLUDED, USE THE OLD ENGLISH SPELLING OF MAGICK - TO DIFFERENTIATE FANTASY MAGIC FROM REAL MAGICK.
AGAIN, WE COULD SPEND HOURS DIVING DEEPER INTO THESE CONCEPTS…BUT THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THE SEVEN WONDERS, IS FOR YOU TO DISCOVER THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS FOR YOURSELF, AND DEFINE HOW YOU RELATE TO MAGICK IN YOUR REAL, MODERN LIFE. WHILE THE SEVEN WONDERS IS A MAGICKAL RECOVERY AND DISCOVERY PROGRAM - IT IS NOT A FORMAL COURSE IN MAGICKAL STUDIES OR TRADITIONS. ALTHOUGH, IT IS MY HOPE THAT YOU WILL PURSUE A DEEPER STUDY IN MAGICK AS A RESULT OF THE SEVEN WONDERS.
IN CHAPTER 8, THE SEVEN WONDERS OF CONNECTION, WE MADE SIMPLE CONNECTIONS TO OUR MAGICKAL RECOVERY AND DISCOVERY PROCESS TO DATE. THE VERY ACT OF SETTING INTENTIONS, AND WORKING WITH AFFIRMATIONS IS BASIC SPELL WORK. THEREFOR, GETTING TO THE BASICS OF HOW MAGICK REALLY WORKS IS PROFOUNDLY BENEFICIAL, EVEN FOR THE MOST GIFTED & EDUCATED PRACTITIONERS AMONG US. BECAUSE ANOTHER POINT I HAVE BEEN REITERATING THROUGHOUT THE COURSE, IS THAT AS WE BECOME MORE EXPERIENCED…AS WE GROW AND BECOME SMARTER ABOUT MAGICK, SO DO OUR SELF-IMPOSED CURSES AND DEMONS. BASICALLY - IT IS OUR OWN MAGICK, KEEPING US FROM BECOMING MORE MAGICKAL.
THIS IS WHY SHADOW WORK AND WRITING DAILY IN THE SHADOW PAGES JOURNAL IS CRITICAL - BECAUSE OUR BELOVED SHADOW IS THE PART OF OUR SOUL THAT HOLDS ALL SUBCONSCIOUS INFORMATION. IT IS ALSO OUR CREATIVE CHILD, OUR SEXUAL ANIMAL, AND OUR CONNECTION TO THE UNDERWORLD, OR EARTH-BASED SPIRIT REALMS. IT KNOWS ONLY TRUTH, BUT SEES THROUGH ILLUSIONS AND DECEPTION. AS SUCH, OUR SHADOWS ARE SHAPESHIFTERS—THEY ADAPT TO ENVIRONMENTS AND PEOPLE, TO INTERACT, SHIELD, DISGUISE OR PROJECT. THE SHADOW SELF DOES NOT EXIST IN LINEAR TIME - IT EXPERIENCES PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE AS ONE, IMMEDIATE MOMENT. DRAMATIC, STRONG AND TRIUMPHANT ONE DAY…TIMID, SMALL AND DEFEATED THE NEXT. BUT NOTHING GETS PAST OUR SHADOW, AND THE MORE ATTENTION WE GIVE IT, THE MORE OUR SHADOW WILL TRUST US…AND RELEASE SUBCONSCIOUS INFORMATION TO THE HIGHER SOUL OF OUR CONSCIOUSNESS.
A FULL CONNECTION/INTEGRATION WITH OUR TOTAL SELF IS WHAT SHADOW ULTIMATELY WANTS…AND IS EXCELLENT AT ACHIEVING FOR US.
