tapping the magicks
Tapping The Magicks is basically just what it sounds like. The flow of the Magicks can be perceived as looking a lot like the jetstreams that we see on the televised weather reports. Of course, the Magicks are everywhere, but for the purposes of your Tapping, it might be easier to see them in that form. We can reach into the Magicks, just as we can dip into a running stream to gather needed water. There is our need (healing, for example) and there is the Source (the Magicks). Once our awareness is more finely-tuned and our Tendings become effective and more natural to us, then our Tappings may begin.
The main concept to always keep in mind when Tapping the Magicks is that you must have a need and a direct
purpose. To Tap the Magicks frivolously is tantamount to treason. We cannot waste the Magicks. Although they are not as finite as, say our Mother Earth, they can be temporarily drained. Treating the Magicks in such a way would be a tragedy. Just as Tapping the Magicks with evil intent harms us and those around us, it also can warp and drain the Magicks to the ThreeFold Extremes. In short, always exercise extreme respect
when dealing with the Magicks, as well as extreme love.
In order to Tend and Tap Into The Magicks, you need to become aware of the Magicks. This is something that books or websites cannot teach you. Neither can anyone else, because your feel for the Magicks is what you can perceive it to be...what you
feel. There exists many magickal ‘systems’ that may help you along your path of acute awareness: following the Phases Of The Moon, Colour Magick, Aromatherapies, watching the actions and the pure joys of children, StarGazing,
becoming attuned to Ritual and Ceremonial Magick, curling up with a good book and your pet, falling in (and out) of love, Divination, the Handling and Communication with plants and trees and animals and one another...and the list goes on. Remember that this is purely a matter of what you feel comfortable with. Pick and choose. Some whole rituals, spells and such may appeal to you while only parts of others might do the same. There is
nothing wrong with combining, subtracting and modifying all of these things to fit your needs and desires. A word of caution, however, regarding some of the ‘Higher’ magics: much of the ceremonies involved with the practice of these magics call for exactness. It is perhaps wise to leave these be until you feel that you are confident and experienced enough to deal with these. Although the ‘overall’ Magicks may be Tended and Tapped
with our ‘gut’ instincts, there are perhaps some aspects that may require direct expertise. The beliefs and opinions regarding this particular subject vary. -- sometimes widely.
You see, our relationships with the Magicks depends on our being able to
feel them and act along with them during their peaks and flows. The Magicks are constant, but do not maintain a steady ‘rhythm’. Several factors can disrupt their evenflow -- from the elations of the Goddess and God to the rise and fall of an ant colony. Because the Magicks encompass everything, everything in turn is plugged into the Universal Feeling. Thus, you must get in tune to as much as you possibly can until you feel the fluctuations and changing high and low points that course through and with the Magicks.
Of course, there is always a price.
Stop. Look. And Listen. Take the time to notice the things that go on around you. Keep a journal to help you see when -- perhaps -- the best times are for you to do certain Tendings and Tappings. For instance, a Full Moon may be an excellent time for you to perform a healing ritual for someone who is in need of more healing than is considered to be ‘usual’; the third Sunday of every other February may be a good time for you to carry
out a money spell.
The triggers are infinite and apply to you and you alone. The existing magickal systems -- from the Fae to the Druids to Christian practices to Enochian and everything in-between -- can provide you with reference points that can get
you started along your path to a more effective awareness as well as sustain you if any of these systems work well for you. There are many books that explain these magickal systems. Some provide an anyone-can-follow structure while others go into a tremendous amount of detail. There are also many websites that provide
information and resources to a large number of various magickal systems and beliefs.
Belief can be easy for you. Belief can be complex for you as well. Here is where your intuitions and heart and mind need to combine to form what is essential to any Tendings/Tappings with the Magicks -- a strong, firm belief in what you feel to be true
for you...what works for you. Awareness is a key part of establishing your beliefs, for without awareness then we all have a difficult time substantiating our beliefs to ourselves. To Thine Own Self Be True. This works in our entire being. As your being is also part of the Magicks then an understanding and working knowledge of your beliefs is of utmost importance.
Listen to others. We can learn from everyone...everything.
Stop and switch your perspective just for a moment and see.
When you are satisfied and happy with your new awareness, then the Tapping Of The Magicks is possible.
Speaking of music....
