Magick, the essence of Witchcraft, is the energy force through which we all interact. Each of us has a connection to this inner power, power that we can use to manifest change in our lives. Through the use of tools, rituals, incantations, and meditation, we allow our minds to tap into universal wisdom and knowledge. This is the art of Magick.

To begin the path of the Witch, the proper frame of mind for Magick work must be observed. In modern scientific terms, this mental state is called Alpha, referring to the type of waves your brain emits when in the relaxed awareness necessary for performing Magick. When you begin each spell, ritual, and psychic working with Alpha, your results will be consistently more accurate and effective.

Beginning Alpha
Find a place where you can relax, such your most comfortable chair. Close your eyes and breathe deeply, letting your body flow into a calm state, allowing the cares and concerns of the day to pass out of your body with each breath. Visualize yourself enveloped in the warm glow of candlelight (lighting a candle helps with this). Begin counting from twenty to one, at which time you should feel relaxed but aware. You are now in Alpha, where your magickal workings are now in tune with the universal wisdom.
