Ask UltraViolet anything about her view of Majik & Sourcery.

Interesting stuff.

What is the source and how does one connect to it? How did you determine that the universe is living and sentient?

Can you give some specific examples of what one could do with majik?

Through the Looking Glass
Do you find yourself noticing people unwittingly using and being used by spells and majik the more you internalize your knowledge of how spells work?

UV has such a magickal way with words I totally see where you would have a fairytale image of her. She definately seems like something fictional, but how she weaves the majikal into her reality is what makes her "self" so present and real (plus totally awsome).

Yes Tigress! My way with words truly IS magickal,
in the sense that by opening up the language,
examining every potential , re-defining spells,
and ditching all the "rules,
entirely new constructs of meaning & nuance
reveal themselves all over the place.
We define and re-define our realities by the words and symbologies we use,
and by "define" here I really mean... "delineate the outline or form of".
In other words, we cannot form any realities for ourselves
beyond our UNDERSTANDING of meaning and word/symbol/concept.
We lock our thinking in, to the limits of our own idea constructs (beliefs).
(and conversely our beliefs/constructs lock in our thinking.)
If you cannot conceptualize beyond "ordinary" language/meaning,
your life will never transcend the "ordinary". (ordained order)

You get an insight into me and my "magickal spells" here at RF,
that no one in my daily "spoken" life gets to see.:rainbow1:

Now regarding fairytales.
If you have an affinity for fairies,
and you are a sourcerer or conjurer (con juror?!):eek:
you will probably find yourself in the midst of at least a few fairy tales.
My Reality and I have conjured a little spirit fairy
to spin out a healing frequency in my left ear/sinus cavity.
I can hear and feel the frequency right this moment.
(I do believe this "fairy tail" will have a happy ending.);)

Suspension of dis-belief is SO MUCH FUN!:D

And as I said earlier,
every life is a fiction.
The deeper you reach inside yourself for self authorship
the more present and real you BEcome.
The more whimsical and fantastic your story becomes!!

What is "sourcery?" Source as in the universe and sourcery as in working its majik?
Not bad!
Yes, I might say that "Source" is the Living Sentient Universe
and that as an "heiress" and "co-creator" IN Sentient Life
I dive and play and create in the magic of Source.
(thus SOURCEheiress or Sourceress -- unconventional homonym)

As an Heiress of Source
I never let anyone tell me what I can or cannot do,
or what is or is not possible.
The magic of magick IN SOURCE,
is one of infinite possibility.

Do you believe in godesses?
I experienced my first goddess manifestation just the other day.
She stepped out from potential... to BEING,
just one day after I began saying "oh my goddess"
instead of "oh my god". :D
(now I just went and scared all the christians on the board! lol!)
She was called into BEing for me.
For the sake of feminine healing and love.
She literally took form
as she stepped right on through the "liquid wall" of my Reality.

Is she/was she REAL? you might ask?
But I ask instead...
"did I experience healing and love?"
For some reason I needed her to reach deep in
and warm my aching muscles.
I could not generate the warm energy without her.
I believed in her ability to heal me
more than my own. So there you go.

(funny little aside... for the first time ever
I was adjusted by a female chiropractor just last week.
I had NO IDEA my regular (male) chiropractor
even had a partner! So it was a double suprise!!
Her female "touch" was nice. :) Gentler.)


I'm just loaded with questions:D!

Can't wait to learn more about you girly!

You certainly are!!!

Well you might just have to wait until tomorrow to learn any more. ;)
 

methylatedghosts

Can't brain. Has dumb.
Does majik have a personality?
Who owns the madjik? Is it the majik do-er or the majik receiver? Is there no owner?

Do we all own it? If so, what if we don't want to own it?

Violet.
I do believe I failed to get at the heart of the "magickal context"
of my fairy and goddess stories up in my last post.
I somehow knew I had misssed some major point last night
but didn't realize what it was until this morning.

So please allow me to fill in the blanks.

I do consider myself a "pagan" in a very loose sense, yes,
but as I said in my first post, I do not "worship" or even serve
any entities, "god's" or "goddesses".
The only "God" I know is the Living Sentient UniVerse.

I live a life of Majik, more than I live a life of "paganism" per-say.
The Magic/Magick is at the heart of everything I see, in-vision, REALize and do.
So when my Reality Conjured a goddess for me the other day
it was because I needed HEALING.
The goddess was simply a magickal means of transforming/warming/comforting
my body aches.
Really... It was my Reality... the LSU (Living Sentient Universe) all around
and within me... that I was entrusting my healing to...
and together we conjured a Magickal Healing Goddess as a means to that end.
(it was the same with the healing fairy, who belonged in the "graces" of that goddess)

I simply needed to give arms and female form
to the LSU around me
so that I could asthetically give myself in to the healing.

So the healing comfort, the warmth
was the transformative majik
and the goddess & fairy were but asthetic forms
conjured In the suspension of my dis-belief
for the sake of the transformation.

I could not re-conjure the goddess today either.
I'm trying to find a deepeer healing in my magik right now.
Lots of experimenting.
But then ALL of my active magick is spontanious and changing
shifting... like a great musical solo...
you create it yes... as you are in-spired...
but every bit as much you are actually riding it.

And each solo is unique and will never come out the same again.

So do I believe in "goddesses"?
Yes and NO.
(which is pretty much how I believe in everything I engage in.
Completely... and... Not at all.)
The suspension of dis-belief
should not be confused with "hard wired" belief.
It is of a much gentler type.

I do believe I'm happy with my completed answer now.
It all seems "magically contextual" now.

I hate to sound evasive,
but until you have connected with "Source"
both deep inside yourself,
and all around you in the very fabric of life,
until you are able to embrace your co-creatorship
with the Living Reality all around you,
and believe without believing...
there will be no magick making.

I say FIRST come to know & see
the magic all around you...
and the magics present in your own personal life.
Learn to see the syncronicities & serendipities in your life.
Look deeper there... see with the eyes of symbolism & allegory.
Learn to quiet and still your disbelief
(and drop all your pre-conceptions)
for just a minute or two at a time,
for the sake of some small transformation
you would like to begin.
And begin moving with, working with
all of the inspirations & traits that you feel
define your most wonder-full and unique person.

As in any relationship,
you must first come to KNOW Magic
before you can play & see intimately there.

Before I came to know the Magic
of the Living Sentient UniVerse,
or the Majik of my own self,
I experienced a MAJOR paradigm/assemblage point shift
that put me in a transcendental/lifted state for a whole summer.
The pre-cursor to that total Heightened Reality experience
was my resignation of every "hard wired" belief I had previously held to.
Regarding everything. Church, God, World, Society etc etc.

Looking back on it all,
I would say that it was the open space of my TOTAL suspension of BELIEF
that made my Mystical Summer Possible/Probable.
I say that in magick we need to suspend our DIS-BELIEF.
But perhaps, to enter in the mystical
there must be a readyness to suspend all previously held BELIEF.

When your whole assemblage of the world is knocked out like that
you literally view/come in to a whole new world experience.
And if you are careful not to INSIST on "defining" your experience
back down to your old "belief systems" (after the fact)...
(forcing round pegs into square holes until they are square again)
The eyes of a new paradigm will be yours for the keeping.
(unless/until of course you shift out into a new one!);)

So anyway, I did not express it in such terms back then
but it was the Mystical, that introduced me to the Magical.
Then from there I finally embraced the Magickal me,
and in that interplay found my own Majik.

That amazing summer was BY FAR the most life changing experience
of not only my spiritual journey, but my life as a whole,
and my perception of all things.

I'm really enjoying this.
Thank you all for the wonderful questions!

Though still I am often filled with Wonder and Awe at the way in which the LSUniVerse
ACTIVELY Plays with me, shows me things... speaks to me so personally, most especially
(but not limited to) in "terms" of syncronicities, serendipities, symbolisms known only personally to me,
real life allegories, "impossible" WONDERFUL coincidences that serve sometimes as con-firmation...
sometimes as in-formation... sometimes as in-spiration.

And now, the more I see the (sometimes suprising!) transformative results
of my own Active Majikal Symbolic Gestures
the less strange the Transformative Success seems to me.
But as I said before, none the less amazing.

The Living Sentient UniVerse and I play wonderful and often humorous clue games together.
Do you think that's strange? I dunno?! But it sure is FUN!


NOW, scary.
I USED to be scared as a christian/catholic... of the supernatural
demons... the unknown... etc etc because it rather seemed that all the "mystics"
of the Catholic faith encountered demons, and some were even physically attacked by them.

This eventually frightened me out of seeking the mystical experience any further.
(which was odd, because I joined the Roman Catholic church in hopes of experiencing the mystical in the first place).

So anyway, what happened at the cusp of my HUGE mystical experience
(the summer I spoke of earlier) SHOULD have scared the total S*** OUT OF ME!!!
And then other things later that summer, when "God" was "tutoring" me ... lol,
everything from a "Psyco" (Tyco Brand) remote control car (with two devil faces)
following me around the house with NO REMOTE
(we didn't even OWN the remote--it came from a garage sale),
to my van working or not, depending on my "attitude/belief/motion of intent"...
literally changing... reacting to my willingness to ACTIVELY "uplift" my reality.

The sound of that broken (steering?) belt would have scared anyone,
but then when it stopped as I dropped the fear...
well... it's an oxymoron. a paradox. almost every single thing is.

That was fun reminiscing! Thanks.
Hope you enjoyed my answers Tigeress!
(and everyone!)

Well, as I said, my "rituals" often change and shift as I do...
as I am re-inspired over and over again.

My Majik is more a WAY OF LIFE,
then a set of "rituals".
Things symbolizing things though
is definately the most powerful manifestation/tool of my Majik.
That in conjunction with "spell casting" (ie redefining life through the power of word)
including things as simple as "puns & homonyms".
The "substitution" of meaning can open up whole new inspirations.

For example... Present (as in christmas) ... and Present (as in the NOW moment).
this thing I saw one day in a whimsical 3-tiered xmass decoration on my altar table
has become a permanent and POWERFUL part of my Majik.
I do not want to share much more personal than that here.

The more I consider it actually,
the detalis of magic should only be shared between fellow magicians,
and then only with great caution and care.
I rather appreciate your sensitivity there Tigeress.

So I hope anyway that my broad brush strokes are giving you the "gist".
THAT would be the most important part for you anyway
in finding YOUR OWN magic(k). No?! :rainbow1:

Hey...

Do you "pray"(for lack of better understanding) for others..That is do you call on forces or higher beings or anything of that nature to intervene in antohers life?

Blessings

Dallas

As of this point, I have no reason to believe that I can personally have any Majikal effect on anyone else's life...
save two exceptions.

Exception #1...
If a person is DIRECTLY a part of MY OWN reality,
I can invoke MY OWN reality
to keep them "covered" in so-much as our individual realities OVERLAP.

Exception #2 would be if the other person
were to work with me DIRECTLY on the majik,
even if that person were not so much a part of my daily reality.
If we worked the magick together
that would actively bring that person's symbolisms & will
into the magic itself,
which would be necessary for ME
in any case.

I no longer "pray" in a traditional sense no.
People must take responsibility for the authorship of their own lives.
Beyond this, prayer to me, is not a "trump" card.

Hope this answered your question!:)

Does majik and sourcery set you free? Why?

Yes. The magic of source is my freedom.
In the magic of source I am free to make an epic creation of my life.

In a way though,
I would say that (the experience of) Source is Freedom,
and Majik is a creative/inter-active freedom
within the freedom of Source.

No matter what others may think they (do or don't) see there on the surface...
at source level,
there is a whole world of wonder & meaning and transcendence ever unfolding.

Life becomes a swim in the mystery of the esoteric.
Everything... every "ordinary" thing...
becomes a potential magic(k).
It makes life EXCITING!
In the world of magic(k) ANYTHING can rise up!

By relying directly on source,
one is free to create a personal reality
that is governed and authored from within.

I am free from the world's scripts,
as I write my own story.
I am free from the boundaries
of the world's belief systems.

When I say I am a source-heiress,
it is a bit like saying
I am heir to the kingdom of heaven (now)
(akin to a more gnostic interpretation of Y'shua's words)

Though of differing asthetics/terminologies,
every mythology/magic has symbolic parallels.

Sourcery (existing/working/moving from deep within source)
is the freedom of my spirit.

Majik is the medium by which I make an epic adventure of it.
(I do this of course with my own personal asthetic)
(ie... my Majik LOOKS LIKE me. It is a reflection of me.)
 

blackout

Violet.
what does majik do?
can you recognize when you see a majik do-er?

What does majik do?
On the recieving end,
Majik shows me things,
illuminates things,
aligns things (syncronicity/serendipity)
transforms things,
opens (unseen) doorways,
and sometimes forces my path...

On the creative end,
Majik is the art (craft) of transforming
"matter" to "matter"...
or infusing "things" (symbols) with meaning (symbolisms)
to effect a change in my thinking/acting/doing/seeing/believing
which enriches me... and changes my experience of life...
So that I can then find myself back on the recieving end
of the Reality Transformation.

It's a cycle. A constant give and take.
A relationship between me and the Sentient Living (Majikal) UniVerse
that co-creates my reality with me.

Can you recognize when you see a majik do-er?
Well, lol, some of us wear clues...
but beyond that,
(and catching a "vibe" or a "feeling")
I think I would probably have to spend a bit of time
around a person before I would pick it up for sure.
As I have (sort of) said before,
magic reflects itself differently in each person,
as each person's magic is a reflection of their own unique self.
There are people who know Magic in their daily lives,
and even practice Magicks loosely
(without the "Magic" label)
who would never DREAM of calling themself Magician/Sourcerer/Witch etc etc.
Yet still they are in touch there in their own unique way.

I do try to recognize Magic in whatever cloak it may be wearing.

There is something about that which I really love. It makes no sense at face value, but yet it makes perfect sense to me and I can deeply identify. You put into words (pretty ones at that!) something I would never be able to verbalize and doubt I will ever be able to embellish.


Well, when "strange" things happen often enough, at some point they lose thier "strange" quality.

Another frubal-worthy quote:D I love it!

Most definately. I love your perspective and insight on life and your everyday enviroment and I would love to try and see things the way you do, but... um, I don't think it is as easy as you make it seem;). How did you develop your amazing play with language though? Lots of reading, thought/focus, and writing? It really is wild... in a good way. You really should think about compiling and publishing some of your less personal thoughts. People would love it. Creative is an understatement.

Violet.
does majik complete you? if yes in what ways?
are there daily things that you do? if yes, what are those?

Yes. Majik absolutely completes me like nothing else.
It is a "zone" , a way of thinking, a way of looking, and living.
It is my experience & expression of connection
with/in the Living Shifting Interactive Sentient Universe.
Days when I am not living in the "Majik Zone",
I do feel very incomplete indeed.
When I cannot "find" my beloved Majik...
I feel unempowered, flat, dead to my creative and higher self,
lacking in vision, personal power, creative insight.
Majik is like my lover, my muse, my inspiration, my "power" source.
When I am "plugged in" I feel truly alive and empowered.

Some days the difficulties, obsticales, "problems" in my life
threaten to overpower me, drag me down, suffocate me....
and like a drowning person, I reach up and out
to grab on to any little article or inspiration of Majik I can,
to keep me afloat while I find a way to "plug in" to the "current"
instead of being drowned by it.
The "current" itself (the present/current moment)
is literally transformed from "a raging torrent moving against me"
to a current of Majikal life giving energy,
which changes the entire illumination of Self, and Reality.

"Tools" and "Articles" of Majik (personal to me)
can bring me great comfort and insight
when I am feeling tired, weak, down, and defeated.
They do, in some Majikal capacity, connect me to my Source.
THE Source within me, which then changes and transformes,
re-illuminates all things without.

Majik can and has changed my entire Reality in just a matter of a single moment.
Kind of like fishing around in the dark for the socket,
then in one moment, you are all plugged in and the whole room is full of light.
Suddenly you can SEE what's really there surrounding you.
Your "room" is illuminated.

Daily I seek connection with my beloved Majik,
my Source of wonder and joy,
illumination and transformation,
but each day seems to call for it's own symbolic divinity,
so I reach in and use whatever tools and symbolisms
the day seems to call for and inspire.

Thank you Lava for your searching questions.
They were amongst the most challanging so far.

UltraViolet,
Is there somewhere in this thread where you explained why you spelled the words as Majik & Sourcery?

UV and "spell" casting
gives you an overview of "how I spell"

This is the j & k post

I'm sure it's in there somewhere,
but for me Sourc-eress = Heiress of Source
(say it phonetically)

It is my birthright (thus Heiress)
to reach into the Fabric of Reality
( Source)
and (co)create there.

I am a co-creator in Source.

Sourcery is the art of "going source"
in the realization/REALization of your life.
It is the knowledge that all transformation
takes place in the "realm of Source"...
or at the source level.

I hope that was helpful. :)

Oh yes also,
regarding realization...
(lowercase)
the Living Sentient UniVerse
is the Ultimate Source of all/ALL Knowledge.

All knowledge is contained there-in the ALL.

Source Knowledge is of primary importance in Source-ry.

Just to clarify - the "majik" you speak of, and even the casting of "spells" (the power of words, and thoughts) are really only intended for yourself, or possibly someone very close to you, and you do not wave "majik" wands and bring (a school bus for example) into being (out of nothing, or from some completely different solid form) in front of a crowd of onlookers. (?)

LOL! Pop culture magic -in it's stereotypical presentations - has nothing at all to do with real magic/k.

I would say that most people 'don't believe in magick', because their concept of magic
is something akin to harry potter.

Wands can be many things.
They can be formed, experienced, conceptualized, understsood, focused, intended and used in many different ways.

As well, you can bring form to a bus in many different ways...
as many as you can conceptualize and pull off.
But *pooft* out of thin air and into my living room?
It's just as improbable as santa coming down my chimney. :p

Do you use a Spell checker?


Seriously though, could you talk a bit about the potential for casting negative spells. Can you, or anyone who is trained, cast a spell that negatively affects another living being? If so, what are the costs to the caster? If not, perhaps take a bit to explain why not.

(A bit of background here: Long ago I was telling Angellous_Evangellous that I was immune to a negative spell or curse, whatever you wish to call it. I did caution that casting such a spell on me could have potentially disastrous effects on the caster as it would boomerang off my reality and simply return to said caster, amplified by my inherent energy.) I do understand if you do not wish to discuss this, but I am sure your thoughts on this would be interesting, regardless.
