Wiccan Magick Meets “The Secret”

I’ve been reading “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne and as I read through her pages it occurred to me that what Rhonda describes as the law of attraction is in fact the same as what we’d describe as magick. I’d agree with critics who may say that there are some things in an ethical, Wiccan magickal context that the practitioner wouldn’t seek to attract to themselves (that’s a whole other InfoCircle) but essentially the principles Rhonda espouses are extraordinarily similar to those Wiccans would argue are magick. 

Magic and Misconception (by Harry McAlister)

I think I am an all powerful wizard.  It says so right here in this book. . . . 

I entered my study of Wicca with more than a few preconceived notions.  Yes the spiritual path called.  My beliefs in reincarnation, the more tolerant path, the view that God is not going to smite me for not believing X, Y, or Z, that feeling I get when a storm starts rolling in, or I am standing in wilderness, the very belief that people can and should make themselves better with the help of the Universe and its energies.  

Magick quality not quantity

There are numerous books, articles and web sites devoted to the creation and use of magickal workings and I’m not about to add to that plethora. However, I do have concerns that there’s a popular misconception that the best spells workings incorporate words that rhyme, tools that are ‘special’, strange herb concoctions and all manner of odds and ends. How many of us have seen the marketing that encourages us to write our spells out with dragons blood ink, or to use expensive crystals in conjunction with exotic talismans or poppets.
