Living Magickally

     When it comes to the Craft of the wise, some people believe that the Craft is a religion. Some believe it is a practice. What is the difference? Well, basically, religion is more ceremonial, and its a believe in God or Gods, and more organized. Everyone pretty much believes the same way. Witchcraft, on the other hand, is more gut or from the heart, more on the fly (random), and not everyone believes or does the same thing. It's what you DO that defines you, not what you believe.
     Regardless, of which "camp" you are in. I think that living magickally is a major component. Living magickally, helps you in so many ways! Some of these ways are subtle, like focus and realizing that everything you do, is magickal. Some are not, and I won't go into that one. You are going to have to realize that one for yourself. So, how do we live magickally? Well here, are some ideas.

~ Saying grace. Honoring the animals and plants that died for your nourishment.
~ Having your morning shower. -----> Purification
~ Talking to your deitie(s) ((if you have them)), you can do this at anytime, anywhere. And talk about anything.
~ Communicating with your ancestors, treating them like they are still in this world and part of the family.
~Drinking water. It is water is essential to our well being, it is the "essence" of life! When you drink water, you can go to a sacred place where sacred water "resides" and put some in a bottle. When you get home, you put a few drops in your tap water. And though the magickal act of contagion; you have ancestral water, to consume. You can also make water sacred by blessing it. Take some water and charge it up with energy/ breathe life into it. Doing this, does make a difference. After about a week, you will notice a difference. I am not going to go into what the difference is. You are going to have to discover that one, yourself.

Simple things like this make you step between the worlds, just a little bit. You start to see things, in a more magickal way/ in a different way or light. The basic meaning of this post, is to make everything you do, a sacred act.
