Tools of Natural Magick

Post by Shaam »

Natural Magic or the Magic of Nature, is an uncomplicated branch of the magical arts, and was the first type of magic practiced by indigenous peoples throughout the world. Their very lives and existance depended on nature and it's forces. Ancient people recognized the powers of nature manifested by the changing seasons, the cycles of the sun and moon..and the weather. All were necessary for the health, welfare and very existance of the tribe/clan.

The ways of nature magic are almost universally intended to work with the forces and energies of nature to bring about necessary changes. Natural Magic is direct and to the point.

It is in our backyards, our homes, in the very essence of our beings. The forces of nature empower magic. One of the greatest mysteries of magic is that there are no mysteries. This magic is constantly revealed around us in the way the sun sparkles on a dew covered spiderweb, a simple flower blossom, a new shoot springing forth from the ground, a gentle breeze, the tinkling of a brook, feeling the strength and power of the elements. Nature is the universe itself. Not only its powers but also its manisfestations.

In our technological and mechanized world, people are complacent about the natural things around them all the time. They take the natural things of earth for granted. Earth magic can help to sort out, work through and solve many of the minor crises and problems facing us as individuals today. True it is not a simple solution to the problems of the world, but it can bring order into our lives, and that's a good start. In magical thought the human body is the microcosm (small representation) of the Earth, which is the macrocosm. The Earth is also the microcosm of the Universe. In other words, we are representations of the essence of the planet and also of the universe. As we begin to change ourselves, we change the Earth and the universe. This is part of the magic.

The tools are those of nature. Stones, trees, rivers, leaves and plants, anything earth related , as well as a few "store bought" items such as mirrors, candles, and other items. The most important tool..is YOU!

Everything in nature has it's own energy signature, from the majesty of the elements to the smallest pebble. Each has it's own purpose for being, follows it's own agenda yet also works in conjunction with eveything else, as well. The energy flows together..follows the rhythm..and keeps the balance.


To perform magic..these are the most important:

1. NEED
2. EMOTION
3. KNOWLEDGE

NEED:
Do not confuse with desire. Desires are often passing; what one desires one morning may be pushed aside the next morning for something else. A desire is a whim; a need is a deeply felt, important state.

EMOTION:
Should be self-explanatory.. You may need a job, but if you are not emotionally focused and commited to trying to find one, there isn't a spell in the world that would grant your wish.

KNOWLEDGE:
Constitutes the body of magical lore. Constitutes knowing the history, theory, application of what you are doing to allow you to develop your own ways. A spell or ritual is simply one way of doing something. There are many ways, and many possible variations on each spell.

Alchemy is a portion of Natural Magic, crystals, herbs, sun, moon, wind, rain, fire, the earth, the seasons, storms...etc..... .

When you learn about and work with all of what Nature offers, it opens your eyes and your heart..and shows you that...yes...Natural Magic is Powerful.
