I was raised a bruja (witch), the kind for whom magic is simply part of how life works. My grandmother initiated me as a girl, shaping my understanding of the unseen world long before I knew words like \u201cenergy\u201d or \u201cintuition\u201d or \u201cconsciousness.\u201d<span>\u00a0<\/span><strong>I didn\u2019t think of it as \u201cspirituality.\u201d Magic was simply\u2026 normal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My version of magic is deeply experiential. I don\u2019t read about it, or think about it, or talk about it, as much as I experience it. I live it.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I have read and thought and talked about magic a whole lot throughout my life, and that has been interesting, useful, and fun. But it has not been the experience of BEING a witch and WORKING magic.<\/p>\n<p>There are as many practices, tools, and rituals as there are witches. Because<span>\u00a0<\/span><strong>there is no doctrine, no guidebook, no rules<\/strong>, a curious newcomer to the Craft can get easily overwhelmed. Astrology, Tarot, colors, days of the week, numbers, plants, animals, goddesses and gods, metals, stones, crystals, angels...there is so much to choose from! So many things can aid our work. These things are extremely helpful, and really fun as well \u2014 at least I think so.<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>But my foundational approach to magic, and to being a witch, is my relationship with energy.<\/strong><\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span>The mysterious life force that keeps me breathing without me having to consciously will it. The \u201ccapacity for doing work\u201d, as they say in physics. The quality of someone\u2019s being.<\/p>\n<p>I start with my own energy. Being as self-aware as possible is a critical piece of working powerful magic. I need to know how much energy I\u2019m running, what\u2019s the quality of it, if it is being projected to others in unconscious ways, how I\u2019m using it every waking (and even sleeping) moment.<\/p>\n<p>As I become more conscious of how the Life Force is embodied in me, I can also become a loving observer of how energy is manifesting in all the things in the Universe: other people, plants, animals, ideas, relationships...all of the things!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is a quick exercise for you to start noticing energy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol class=\"unordered_list\">\n<li class=\"list_item\"><span>Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths.<br \/>\u200b<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"list_item\"><span>Notice how you are feeling in your body: are you cold, warm, too hot, just right? Are you joyful, bored, excited, sad? Are you worried, or at ease? Are you aware of the you that is not you? Are you feeling a part of you that is not your body, maybe not even in your body?<br \/>\u200b<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"list_item\"><span>Breathe through this exercise for a few minutes, and see if you can connect with images, sounds, smells, textures, or flavors that seem to you to capture the whole essence of how your energy is today.<br \/>\u200b<br \/>\u200b<em>Remember that this exercise is more like poetry than empirical observation, so the important thing is for you to get a clear sense of your own whole energetic body, not how \u201caccurately\u201d you\u2019d be able to describe it to someone else.<br \/>\u200b<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"list_item\"><span>Once you get a hit of your energy, come back to it throughout the day and see if it's still the same or if it\u2019s shifting, and start to pay attention to how the awareness of your energy affects your interactions and behaviors.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Over time, you will be able to connect very quickly to how your energy is, and also to will it into being different, which is what I call energy work. Then, you can start sensing others\u2019 energies, and even working into shifting those energy patterns as well.<\/p>\n<p>Witches are deeply skilled at the dance of perpetual interaction and deep interdependence. The beauty of this is that while energy is the \u201ccapacity for doing work\u201d and power is \u201cthe rate at which work is performed\u201d, you can only imagine what knowing how to work energy can do for someone\u2019s power. And power is also the ability to do, act, or have influence.<\/p>\n<p>You can see how energy work cannot be fully described or captured in a short few paragraphs, but I\u2019m sure you begin to get an idea of why<span>\u00a0<\/span><strong>working with energy is an important skill: it will allow you to shift your shape to your own liking first, and then expand that reach to help shapeshift the world into one that welcomes and supports all.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_1 et_pb_row et-vb-row--no-module et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_column_empty et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_24_24 et_flex_column_24_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7066,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_wp_convertkit_post_meta":{"form":"-1","landing_page":"0","tag":"0","restrict_content":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,10,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-life-love","category-magic","category-personal-growth"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
