WHITE MAGICK and ENERGY WORK



White magick is defined as magic or incantation for good intentions or to counteract evil.

This, in my opinion, would make it much harder to accomplish than grey or black magic. 

Think about it and remove the magical element from the equation for a second--when we are happy we are at peace. It is generally a feeling of well-being and calm. Of course there are times when we are excited and we spread the joy with hugs and kind words, but happiness is a relatively mild feeling--especially compared to anger. When we are mad, and I'm sure if you are like the rest of us this happens to you often, our emotions can go from zero to sixty in a matter of seconds. Sometimes we feel we can't control ourselves and want to hurt others not only with our words but sometimes with physical actions. Our heart rate increases, arterial tension increases, and our level of cortisol, the stress hormone, surprisingly decreases. The left frontal region of our brain is stimulated, an area that relates to feelings of closeness. It is an interesting contradiction because when we are angry we tend to want to get close to and confront the thing that angers us in order to eliminate it.



In other words, it feels GOOD to get angry.

You are experiencing the results of adrenaline and the rapid heartbeat and flushed feeling can be addictive. We think about what angers us over and over again, and it is easier to live in that hyped-up state than to calm ourselves down and forgive and forget. Plus we don't realize how good we feel.

Oooh--that wonderful feeling of putting someone in their place, or telling them how you really feel, or wiping that silly smile off of their smug faces.

How many times have you been happy about something, but someone you know is now jealous? Maybe we have been the envious ones, quietly wondering why the hell WE can't eat anything we want and keep our girlish figures? People say they want the best for us, but we really don't know their true feelings. We might be the accidental targets for negative energy. Some say no form of energy is truly negative, but we are not talking physics.



Have you ever met someone you instantly liked? You feel great around them and talking to them is a breeze. You may not have needed to spend a lot of time getting to know one another because it feels like you already do. It seems to be great to find this kind of person--and you miss them when they are not around. It is said that this type person fills some of your empty energy field--they are from the same soul family as you. You are better when they are around. When they are not that part of your field is opened again, and can easily be filled with with the energy of another--positive or negative.

We can feel negative around another also--an instant discord. They may not have any bad feelings about us specifically, but they feel wrong to be around.

Sometimes we feel it is almost impossible to move on from a hard or traumatic situation. Some believe part of our spirit leaves when something terrible happens and we remain psychically vulnerable. If a person passes away, part of you goes with them. If they are still around but the relationship is over, you may have some type of connection to them, along with a spiritually empty feeling because part of you is with them, but connected in an inappropriate way. 



Energy workers claim that we are connected to everything by cords. These cords are supposedly everywhere, connecting us energetically to friends, lovers, children, parents, and everything else. They say when babies are born they have cord connections to their mothers, physical ones and spiritual ones. The energy cords become less needed as the child grows and eventually fall away--unless theirs is a muddled situation where the proper rates of growth are not met, either by the mom or child. Friends have cords to one another that have grown from a relationship or existed already from generations past. Cords can become filled with negative attributes and get muddied, causing problems in the relationship that could eventually cause its end. Unclear cords can result from arguments, jealousies, dislikes, or simply bad feelings.   

Then there are the people who may be sending negative thoughts and vibes to us. Even if it is done unconsciously, sending this type energy might cause harmful results.  

This is where the positive actions of white magick are said to help.

Many think that any type of magick is the work of the devil. Another faction believes that prayer is merely a form of positive energy work, or benign magick.  



I know someone who was sent a gift from a dear friend. It was a lovely present, but nothing but bad things happened since my friend received the gift. She felt at first it was a coincidence, then weeks went by and she began to feel cursed. My friends eventually threw the gift away and has not been bothered since.

Simple solution, right?

Sometimes it is not so easy.

Whether we are being whammied from a jealous friend, envious co-worker, the "other" side of your family, or are just the unwitting victim of plenty of unfortunate but old fashioned hateful thoughts--sometimes we need protection.

Some turn to prayer, some to confrontation, and some to magick.

I read that anyone can do magick; you don't have to be a Third Degree Wiccan to protect yourself. In fact, all you need is intention. Read how to protect yourself here:  http://www.spiritofold.co.uk/magick/bos/protection.htm

Several years ago I was told by a friend that they visited an energy worker. She said they removed generational curses, murky cords, and even say a demon or two lurking in her field. I had to see this for myself, and ended up going to the same woman. The house she was renting was almost all white and enormous. There were statues in the high ceilinged rooms and despite the white paint and lofty ceilings I was creeped on even on the bright and sunny day it was. We went to a tiny room on the second floor and I was instructed to close my eyes and let my ego go so I could "experience" the guided spiritual tour. About ten minutes into it I could not take it for another second, and told the poor girl that I felt the experience was a bit too much for me, and was feeling ridiculous. She told me that was part of my problem, and all the "monsters and spirits" around me had a pretty good hold.

Hmmmm.

Now I was really creeped out. So I left.

Nothing changed much in my life, so those devils might still be hovering around.

Once again I cannot discount magick, prayer, spells, cords, or anything that has to do with energy work completely. 

But as an experiment, I will do a home-made protection spell tonight, under the almost full, almost pink moon. 

I'll let you know what happens next week.

Wish me luck--and let me know if you have any experience with spells or white magick.

  1. I met this lady at my work that, after only being with her for 5 minutes, I could say she was my friend. Then, there are people that you just have to look at and you know instantly that you're not going to like them. I've met some wonderful people on Facebook...and some real trolls, too...people that suck your life-force from you, while other's make you feel wonderful and beautiful...Those friendships are the ones that I treasure.

  2. Yes! I can say I've made some honest to God (Goddess?? :) ) friends on FB too.
    AND the other side of the coin too with those emotion vampires. Hisssss....
    And as for the 5 minute friends I think they are far and few between but awesome when they happen!

  3. Interesting, as always, Penelope.
    I have, what I consider, "soul mates", those people that come into your life and no matter the years or miles that separate, the feeling is always the same when you're together.

    I have also met those people that give me a bad feeling. I can't seem to get away fast enough, no matter how friendly they seem. The "soul eaters".

    I don't, really, like to get angry. I'm like the Hulk. "You won't like me when I'm angry." I don't like the feeling, the shaking, the rapid heart beat, all of it. Although I am pretty darn good at putting someone in their place if need be. :-) With menopause, it doesn't take much to get me that way either. Lately, I should have a warning sign, "Antagonize at your own risk, MENOPAUSAL!!"

  4. Yikes. Soul eaters is a scary though--but I totally know what you mean.
    Same with soul mates :) Hard to find but when you DO find them they last forever.
    And glad you told me about getting you mad--I do NOT want to be in the way of an angry menopausal woman!!
    HA!

  6. Wow, what an education! This is my first exposure to the theories of chords and energy, but it does make sense. I met my best friend of 12 years and knew instantly. Same with my other best friend of 17 years. Click! You know. And I certainly recognize the soul suckers, only I called them "project friends", as in the ones who sucked the life out of you with their needs, and gave nothing in return. I'm a Christian, but I totally respect and believe in the other forces out there, including the fact that Wicca is real.
    Thanks so much for visiting today.

  7. Yes! I tend to shy away from the readers, too. I can feel the vibrations, sometimes they're scary. I duck and hide, I guess. :)

  8. I certainly believe in energy being in an integral part of people, and of it having impacts and connections with others. I don't know anything about the specifics, though. I definitely get a feel for people upon first meeting them, especially if there is a negative energy about them.

    Good luck with your protection spell!

    1. Shannon I am not sure of the specifics either and have not made any type of decisions on Wicca or energy work and the like. But, like you, I SURELY get vibes.
      Even that protection spell--I start to think if it is a good idea or not--and if by doing it I am not stirring up something that I will actually need protection FROM!
      Thanks for the great comment and for stopping in.

  9. I have done a fair amount of research on magic for my books but have yet to come across anything 'real,' That's not to say it doesn't exist, it just means I haven't found it yet. I also suspect that anyone who could truly do magic would not be advertising in the yellow pages or on-line or anywhere for that matter. They would keep it secret.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I agree.
    I'm pretty sure it would be kept relatively tight within a family or sect or coven.
    The spells I see on the internet that are poorly rhymed and almost hard to stomach seem to be made up by a kid half the time. I could be wrong!
    I would love for someone to tell me this kind of secret though.

  11. Very interesting post, Penelope. I truly believe we all have an aura, an energy around us. Good and Bad. We need to squash the bad and get along with the good.

    1. Thanks Cathrina :)
      I am sure I am not alone when I say I think it is harder to keep the bad under control for some reason. And although I cannot be positively certain but I think I have seen an aura or two.
      This will make for another interesting experiment.
      Glad to have you Cathrina,

  12. Hello, Penelope! This is such an interesting post. I definitely believe it's important to be aware of the kind of energy we release around us. It can make all the difference.

    Happy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines

    1. It is so hard to muster good energy when you are down but I agree--and what we put out is probably equal to what we get back.
