Sense the beginning of time energies have been creating. Every thing has energy, and every energy can be muniplicated to do something. These energies can be used in everyday life. When you go grocery shopping, you want to know if something is bad (lets say a apple, the energy in the apple would be faded or fading if the apple is bad). Muniplating the energy around something is hard, it take focus and patients. You will achieve all this with Meditation, which we will talk about in a few. Energies can be any color or anything. There are a few excersises to help you control these energies. There is feeling the energy inside you, as in closing your eyes and feeling or seeing the energy, most people say feeling this energy is a warm and fuzzy feeling. Try moving the energy throughout your body.
Meditation
This is a very old but very affective way of help focus and patients. There are many other ways but people prefer this one. You can be in any position you want, but please make sure it is one you will be confortable with. Close your eyes and don't think of anything, just feel. Breathe in through your nose and exhale out your mouth. Make sure your breathes are even. Then slowly feel your energy flowing through you, and then going out of your body and then back in. Do this as long as you can.
Wands
Wands are not a necessary thing, but you want to use them if you have little to no experience in magick. Wands are like a extension to your arm, and using a wand your less likely to mess up your spell. Wands are like training wheels that should be thought about.
Your Power Hand
Okay this is one that is kind of weird but is true, your power hand is the one your write with (your dominate hand) your index finger is your power finger to go with the power hand. Remember that using your index finger is a built in wand.
Spells
This topic always catches peoples eyes (espcially the newbies). Casting spells. In order to even think about casting spells, you must have faith, and you must prepare. The more you prepare for a spell the less likely it wont work. Make sure you think about this spell to the last detail. What will my spell do, what will the outcome be, how will this effect me? that is what you have to think about. Spells take time and dedication to even start. Don't try spells that are from the fantasy section of this site, they DO NOT work. You can not change yourself to be something you are not. Magick is really important, and you must learn.
