Blessings, Darlings!
Today in an extremely fluffy Facebook 'witch' and 'Wicca' group - where I'm totally sure that no one has an initiation in lineaged Wicca or could explain what an egregore is and how that related to lineaged Wicca - I was ... informed ... that magic is all about visualization.
So I asked if that meant that the blind can't do magic.
This told me several things. First, that people using the word 'visualization' haven't thought about that ableist phrasing, obviously. Second, that they are just parroting things that they read in bad books (or that their 'teachers' read in bad books). Third ... that they have no bloody idea what magic is about.
Trust me - there would be a crap load of bleeding bodies around me if magic was just 'visualization'. At the very least, with all the magic user out there imagining/visualizing things - think of what would have happened to Donald Trump's hair by now!
No, magic is NOT about 'visualization'. It's about moving energy. Beginners are often taught to move energy by using visualization, but ONLY because it helps them past a few limits they've put on themselves. The visualization is NOT THE MAGIC. MOVING THE ENERGY is the magic.
And if you do not understand that, you fucking shouldn't be teaching.

Charging a Magical Item
Blessings Darlings!
Back in the post on creating common spells, I mentioned 'charging magical items'. I suppose some of y'all want me to tell you how to? Or at least what 'charging an item' MEANS?
Okay.
Charging is to fill an item with magical intent/essence/energy (depending on the working, your magical vocabulary, etc). With, say, a candle, it starts when you when you carve a word/name/sigil into it and/or 'dress' it with oil that you've added an appropriate herb or such to. After that you REALLY work some energy into it. You can move energy any way that work for you. I OFTEN move the energy starting in my impersonal chakra (bright beyond words, over my head), down to my heart chakra, then out my arms/into hands/into item. Sometimes I use a tone, AUM, color, etc. It depends on the working, what system I'm working, what the intent is.
Charge it until it seems to be 'full' and not taking more energy in.
It's just that simple ... and just that complex.
