The Edge of Magic

Magic lives and breathes in every one of us. No matter how mundane it may seem, we always travel on the Edge of Magic. Around every bend, beneath every surface is a truth that can set us free. I am Serena and these are pieces of my life woven in words, invoking magicks of my own making in an experimental spell. Each word, each voice, each thought, each view weaves magic through me and you. Join me in casting or simply bask in the energy. Now is a wondrous time to awaken to possibilities...

A Hallowed Gate

Time is remarkably strange even if it is not as many have postulated alive or separate and to be honest now is not the moment within out without of time to be discussing it at length. That said it’s hard not to at least comment on the distance and transformation from this point in the casting and the last point at which I actively altered its electronic form.

So many secrets lay open before the worlds I care for and while I oft travel through the worlds where my inner powers and forms flow like a river nourishing, transforming and exploring wherever they travel, I am just as often in places where my lack of armour and sensitive nature encourages misguided individuals to tear at the sacred beauty I hold.

For the most part they don’t truly know what they’re doing although sometimes they have inkling why. Perhaps as the age of information that seems to surge in worlds like these, reaches a new level the realization that in most cases knowledge is not wisdom and while connected there can be a great and vast distance between the two will come to the masses.

I once met a man on the path between knowledge and wisdom. He was dressed in purple silks and as the 3 suns beat down upon the blackened dessert. I was for a moment bespelled by the sheer number of shades encompassed by this single outfit. The man was riding a rather large lizard roughly the size of a schools bus and to be fair if one were lenient in one’s interpretation you could say it looked like on to. The hulking beast made a slow but even pace over the charcoal sand and licked the air as it passed. I was still fixated on its rider though so even now I cannot be certain if its feet were clawed or if it drew long tendrils of shiny black substance through holes in its toes has it took each step. The purple rider had a thin athletic build that suggested agility and strength beyond its appearance. His hair was just short of being as dark as the sands while his skin was alabaster white. Grey-blue eyes poured over the facets of a large gemstone as he rotated it in his hands. The cracks and in dents shifting with each rotation, they revealed a new glimmering pattern from the harsh light above. Whatever insights he gleaned he did not share them when I asked only peered over the shoulder and smiled that smile that men get when they see something they truly want.

He continued away unsolved by our meeting. I imagine he needed to be wise sooner rather than later but still I think if he’d have stopped we might have made love on those midnight sands and in my arms he might have found many wisdoms not yet written of in books or at least any I know.

With love and will, the spell goes on. And strengthens our magic both now and beyond.

Almost Arrived

After a disturbing journey through the Realm of Storms, I have settled near the edge of its destructive and confusing beauty. Also nearby is a Realm of glittering lights (which I will describe here soon I hope). Needless to say the shadow created inthis borderland are as compelling as the rays of brilliance. The potential is nothing short of overhwleming which in combincation with the mundane affair s of many current and upcoming events on the mortal material timeline have been tossing me about like a tiny rag doll such is their force. Well tis mainly the former rather than the latter that has such strength but after it's gotten in a few blows I'm so dizzy thart just about anything has a shot a knocking me to and or fro.

The days that follow bring a uniication of energies as my new home takes shape. In this new place I espect to be able to wield greater magics, have grander adventures and delve further into the depths of life.

Wish me luck as I pass it to all of you my sweets.

Perspectives

Cease practice based on intellectual understanding,
Pursuing words and following after speech,
And learn the backward step
That turns your light inward
To illuminate yourself.
Body and mind of themselves
Will drop away and your original face
Will be manifest.
- Dogen (1200-1253)

The exodus and an experiment

From within a laybrinthine and teetering sturcture of cardboard boxes filled to the brim with the material aura of "life" in this world, I take a moment away from preparing for the great move to my new Scarlet Home to share a fun game to play.

Stare into the mirror, deep into your eyes and over all of yourself and stare so deeply that your reflection begins to waver. Then gaze upon countless other alternate and potential yous and marvel at your differences and similairities and the insight granted from touching another you, be they a few realities away or leagues beyond this one.

Moves both physical and of the meta variety

So the process of moving provides all sorts of challenges to mundanes. The financial acrobatics and societal inspired stress on what should be a joyous adventure are enough to cause many people to wrap themselves in a cocoon of stress and become lost in an inner fantasy where the discombobulation of the powers that be happens on monthly intervals as a mild amusement. Yes that may have just been a thought whose purpose was solely to use the word/concept of discombobulation but my point is no less valid because of my playful smirk.

For those with an awakened mind or a vested interest in planes and energies beyond the "physical" realm have a host of other issues to deal with. A home can exist in connection with any number of other realms some not necessarily condusinve to your living in close proximity to (depending on the individual). A variety of potentially negative psychic residues can coat the spaces within and without and certainly aren't listed on any building inspection report. Potent spirit haunting to my knoledge are rare but that doesn't mean that ther aren't necessarily entities tied to the place and that their presecen won't have an effec ton your life.

Can you cast there effectivley? Is the space condusive to your style of magic? or are their restrictive quaities in the area. Sometimes these are harder to spot as they aren't even attach to any particular focal point. How do you deal with issues that your senses aren't enlightened enough to perceive consciously.

Of course a new space is also filled with new potential and with proper care can be developed into a powerful tool in your magic and in your life.


As you may have guessed fair reader this is exactly the process I am goin through currently. Though I am far from a creature of stress, I must admit that even I have been affected by the minions of the reality thoughtcage but not for long.

In a rather sudden motion I find my life flowing arouund another new nexus which shows exciting promise as well as being considerably more open and free (in so many sense of the concept)

From within a sea of cardboard boxes I set my eyes to the horizon which holds both a fortress of solitude for this Supergirl and a open space to communicate , socialize and create with friends form the many relams for your friendly neighbourhood Sorceress.


Wish me luck spellkins!

Furries like caffeine

So in the midst of the choa of many projects, two adventures and thre internal wars, I find in one of my frequent day lives I am writing more but not for the right reasons. I long to contribute more to this spell instead of some of the endeavors I delve into not entirely willingly.

All this was in my head when I met three werewolf friend in a coffe shop. As I crumbled my cookie, one said " You should write more of what you want", the second said "you should right less of what you don't" and the thrid said "How strong is your sense of self?"

As usual door number three always opens to the best thoughts. If he weren't so addicted to caffeine, i think I'd find him to be even hotter.

The week brings with it a heavy load of variety and pressures. Hopefull if My mental gymnastics are up for tumbling and sommersaulting through the onslaught, I'll get a chance to write here and work on my other personal projects.


Is life easy and people complicated or is it the other way around or both?
