The Well of Magick

Somewhere inside all of us lives a deep well of untapped possibility. The place where magick resides. As children, we live there; formless and full of potential. As we grow, we begin to shape our lives and necessarily move from infinite possible potential to finite form. There is nothing wrong with this. It’s called growing up. And it’s necessary to build and create a life.

However, just because we grow up and move from the formless into form, potential into reality, doesn’t mean we lose access to that deep inner well of magick. I have re-invented my life many times over, and each time I visit that well I ask myself-

“What could my life become if I were not so attached to what is?”

When I ask myself this question, I find that the places I feel stagnant begin to move again. Suddenly, I open myself up to new opportunities for growth, new relationships and new experiences.

Lately I have been running on auto-pilot. My husband is looking for work which is a daunting task and being a sensitive empathic type, I pick up all that energy myself. We are in the middle of our Practical Magick course and its going great but also a lot of work. When I look from the outside, my life is amazing. But for whatever reason I have been battling this lingering feeling of discontent.

Recently I took a deep dive for myself and did an hour long ritual alone at my altar to get to the bottom of my feelings. What came up? Time to visit the well again. I realize I had been placing expectations on how I thought things should look rather than appreciating what is. My husband should have gotten that last job he interviewed for because he was perfect for it! I should have higher enrollments in my course (even though this is only the second one we’ve ever ran!) I should be singing more, working on an album, eating healthier, making more money. All of these expectations I have been placing on myself has been wearing me down. The thing is, I didn’t even realize I was doing it! Not until I forced myself to get still and listen to my soul and talk to my guides was I shown how I have been treating myself. And it hasn’t been nice.

So back to the well I went. And once there, I saw that as soon as I let go of all my harsh demands on myself, I could begin to see and more importantly feel how absolutely grateful I am for my life. I am a witch, and I get to make my living being one. I get to create community and work with magickal people. I get to sing all the time. I sing at home, with my coven and in my craft. I am not rich but I have my rent paid and food in my belly. I’ll get to that album. But for now, I am being asked to settle in and appreciate all the gifts surrounding me in this moment. For it’s in the moment that infinite potential lives. By appreciating what’s in front of me, I plant seeds for what’s to come. I don’t have to have it all figured out. It’s best if I don’t. Because it’s in that unknown space that magick, real magick unfolds.
