Magick is something of a rarity, and high magick even lesser-known - even among occultists. High magick is where metaphysics meets spirituality. Unlike more prevalent occult practices, high magick is less concerned with bringing about direct physical manifestations like altering the weather or turning lead into gold, and is primarily focused on increasing alignment with the Divine in both the practitioner and in the world generally.Religions often seek to do this, but one of the downsides to many religions is that they leave the magickal element out of the equation entirely. The ability to direct our Will in ways that alter the world around us is one of the greatest joys our Creator ever gave us, and magick is no exception.

The Creator, on the other hand, seems to suggest otherwise, and allows us to alter our own experiences - even our physical, tangible experiences - according to our Will. One of the amazing things about high magick is that it turns our entire lives into a kind of spiritual laboratory, where we can learn and experiment with different magickal Choices and, from their results, get a better understanding of the nature of Creation, ourselves, and our Creator firsthand. By seeing what works, what doesn't, and the kinds of results we get, we can start to build and refine our models for understanding those concepts. This kind of life-as-laboratory situation is something most religions cannot provide to anywhere near the degree that high magick does, and for a practitioner of high magick, life becomes a sort of creative playground where we can increase our understanding of ourselves and our Creator as we have fun. It becomes a sort of Montessori school, encouraging learning through experimentation...READ MORE...
