2023-05-06 - You Are A Great And Powerful Wizard by Sage Liskey

I saw Sage handing out these pamphlets at events. I didn't take the pamphlet, but i resolved to read the online version later. This particular pamphlet strikes me as a little tongue-in-cheek but it can be a good reminder. What we do right now will determine what kind of a future we will have. It's easy to lose touch with that.

Below is the complete text of the pamphlet.

You Are A Great And Powerful Wizard

An overview of human magic and spell casting

The Order Of Radical Cats

Introduction

Every word spoken, thought made, motion moved, and energy exchanged is a magic spell conjuring up a new set of possibilities that changes the shape of reality. There are billions of spells being cast each moment, but most people never learn how to control this inherent power. As a human wizard you have a great potential to become stronger by learning how to control the spells you cast and how to counter or block spells from other wizards.

Note that the magic contained herein primarily influences the emotional qualities of humans, but physical changes may follow. This magic may also be used on non-human quarries.

Magic Spells

Magic spells are cast through words, movements, thoughts, and energy. Once cast, spells may result in various forms of creation, destruction, neutrality, or a mixture of all three. The following are just a few of the many outcomes of a successful (or unsuccessful) magic spell:

• Empathy
• Life
• Fear
• Healing
• Creativity
• Despair
• Compassion
• Art
• Mind control
• Spirit
• Courage
• Trust
• Peace
• Anxiety
• Death
• Confusion
• Hatred
• Intelligence
• Anger
• Love
• Inspiration
• Learning
• Passion
• Resilience
• Strength
• Discord

Weaving Spells Together

Life is complicated. It cannot be controlled by a single word or motion. Some spell effects may only be obtained by weaving together many different types of spells.

For instance, in order to successfully cast a LOVE spell, one must cast the spells of PASSION, TRUST, COURAGE, EMPATHY, and possibly others. LOVE takes time to cast and is difficult to control even for adept wizards utilizing ideal conditions.

Counter Spells

Don't let unwanted magic get to you, cast plenty of defensive barriers and learn a few counter spells for when destructive magic is flung your way. Remember that destructive spells can come from outside of or from within you. The best defense for either source is a strong mind able to remain aware and prevent unnecessary thinking. Ready your arsenal with spells that evoke:

• Love
• Empathy
• Compassion
• Gratitude
• Humor
• Patience
• Trust

Group Spells

A group of entities may gather together to collectively cast magic. If done properly, a group spell will be much stronger than an individually cast spell. These may take the form of:

• Ritual
• Celebration
• Community
• Meditation
• Potlucks
• Friendship
• Love

Controlling Your Magic

Some spells are harder to control than others. These spells require a lot of training to cast properly and may need to be periodically recast to work effectively.

• Speak with conviction by using motion and emotion.
• Think in the present moment without stressing about the past or future.
• Speak the language of the one whom your are communicating with.
• There are many ways to cast the same spell.
• There are many ways to create the same spell effects.
• Some magic will only work in the right time and place.
• Your spell effects are especially influenced by the greater pool of magic being cast by other wizards.
• Magic that is negative or destructive to the user often casts without your awareness. Be careful.

Magic Potions

Sometimes you need a little help casting a magic spell. If used properly magic potions may temporarily or permanently enhance your magical abilities. Misuse of magic potions may also lead to ill effects or an untimely demise. Tread with caution!

• Healthy food
• Clean water
• Clean air
• Medicines
• Adaptogens
• Various herbs

Wizard Wands

Various objects may be used to strengthen the magical powers of a wizard. These wands come with their own unique set of characteristics that when used properly amplify the effectiveness of your spells. Try these wands for powering up:

• Musical instruments
• Mirrors
• Clothing
• Trinkets that give you strength and joy
• The Internet
• Social media
• Color
• Makeup
• The moon
• The sun and stars
• Fire
• Perfume
• Nature
• Light
• Dark
• Your body
• Art

Imbuing Objects With Magical Power

You can imbue any object with magical power by concentrating your magic into it. Imbued items may be used as a source of ENERGY, LOVE, POWER, ANGER, FEAR, JOY, and so on. Imbuing objects with "positive" magic is most easily accomplished using gifts received from other wizards or creatures of the earth, as that entity has already imbued some positive energy into the item. You can also use items that various wizard cultures have collectively imbued with magic such as flowers, feathers, and rocks. Be warned that "negative" and destructive magic will strongly attach to any object without warning. Train in your wizardly practices to avoid these magical misfires.

People need a key in order to unlock the magic power trapped within an imbued object. If you are gifting a magically imbued item to another, tell them how to access the item's power.

Parting Words

There is one final thing to say before we conclude our overview of wizardly magic. All destruction leads to creation and all creation leads to destruction. Furthermore, there is no definitive "good" or "bad" magic, only the will of the wizard or group of wizards casting a spell. A powerful wizard knows how to use magic in order to achieve destruction or creation that is beneficial to their personal wizardly ambitions. Now that you know your true power as a wizard, The Order of Radical Cats wishes you well on your grand journey through time and space.

And always remember, YOU ARE A GREAT AND POWERFUL WIZARD.
