What is this Magick? Is it the power to destroy?Is it the tenderness needed to heal? Or mayhaps it is the primal element that allows us to channel even the power of the earth itself...to weild and manipulate the weather? It is all these things and yet this is only the beginning...Some say the highest level of magic is the power to kill all your enemies in one bolt of power.Some say the highest level is the ability to summon beings from another world...
I beleive that Magick be only understanding, of ourselves,of our own will,soul,and our own place in this universe..Some are born with talent yes that is true..yet even more are born with the desire to learn..they have only their desire.Mages and wizards are often despised and thought of as mad nuisances...
Why is this?I beleive many will make up an excuse to hate those they envy...rather than hate the gods for not bestowing this gift upon them,they hate their brother who by no fault of his ownwas indeed born with an ..affinity for magic.Some say magic be evil,that power corrupts...Again..how is amgic different from conventional weapons?A sword be but a tool..It may be used for good or evil..It is dependent on the user,not the tool.Where does magick come from..?
Many ask but do not know..I do not pretend to know this either....But let me ask you this...the swordsman.Where do you get your skill from?Endless hours of practice?Or godgiven talent?Mayhap..i think more likely a combination of both.It is true for the mage.Our magic may come from talent alone..or from an affinity for it bred sincebirth..More common it is a combination of both..I ask you.How are we different from the warrior?
Do we not bleed blood in battle when wounded?Do we we not shed tears whn loved ones are lost?Do we not anger when provoked? We are human..and magick be a very human and natural part of our world..it is there if you only try to see it..not with your eyes...but rather with your soul and spirit.. Magick is all aroun d us...A good example would be what many call love...Is this not a form of magic in itself?
When as human beings ...we care for another so much that we would sacrifice anything..therby acclomplishing anything for them..for love.. Be this not the most powerful magick that exists?
I find myself growing more and more impatient with the people of this world.
Many are selfish and uncaring of anything other than themselves. Many mroe try to profit and gain at any expense of others. The cowards,the murderers,the thieves,they haunt us with their inhumanity.I grow more and more weary each day.Each moment of each day is a struggle to go on.
Each day my spirit fights the darkness the uncertainty.Each day I lose ground.Soon there will be nothing else left to fight for to beleive in. I fear that day for my soul and heart.
