Rhetoric + intent = energy/”spell-casting”… like it or not…

The Magic Circle, by John William Waterhouse (1886)

If you engage or attempt to engage another person with either words or actions… the interaction can be embedded with energy expended for a purpose. There’s nothing mystical about it. It’s really quite simple. How many times is energy wielded with intent to influence or change? (especially, it seems, as it’s floated down the rivers of social media… blind-faced, concealed behind a keyboard). It is not limited to spells and incantations but involves the way we ALL live and interact. Therefore, whether you call it prayer or spell… good will… or whatever… what is at the heart of your tools of interaction? Like it or not, is it not a form of “spellcraft”? Are these tools that you use bathed in anger, divisiveness and hate, or… genuine love and caring? Do you hope to change things for the universal good, or only to your own, selfish concepts of what is right and good?

What can you possibly hope for by wielding negative energy to change or influence another? What, really, is at the core of your “magic”… your rhetoric… and what is the legacy you hope to both grow while you live and leave when you are gone from this world? What allows growth, and what kills it? Should you not care and be more mindful?

Rambling thoughts for the day…
