The White Magician

[JustLikeYou]

I've seen the picture of you in the picture thread. I like it, though it is larger than I would have expected. Isn't that heavy? Can you tell me the significance of this symbol to you? I do not actually wear anything of spiritual significance because it is so difficult for me to commit to a particular set of symbolism. My broad interest in all religions is both a strength and a weakness...

I do not do magical work regularly because I have not yet achieved the requisite level of initiation to feel like regular magical practice would be a good use of my time. I also think that when I am ready a community of other practitioners will find me. It is important to me that this work be communal but at the moment I am the only one I know IRL who is genuinely interested.

I do evoke the Magical Personality in workings using a gesture, though I will eventually buy (or have my wife make?) a garment that will signify this in a more concrete way. My understanding of this act is that, like everything else, practice makes perfect. My goal is that when I perform that gesture, my entire demeanor becomes one of the utmost focus and respect for the work ahead. It is also important to me that I do not make mistakes in the rituals I use. Again, I'm still working toward this, but practice is the way to achieve.

There are only a couple of workings I do. I always begin and end with the banishing ritual of the lesser pentagram. Usually, when I work, it is an adapted version of the Twin Hearts meditation that I mentioned above. This can be used as a broad meditation which gives healing to the entire world or as a specified meditation which gives healing to a specific person, group or region. Though I wouldn't call it white magic, there are other workings I do which I perform the banishing ritual for. Sometimes I will program crystals, engage in inner balancing exercises, consult an oracle, seek contact with intelligent infinity, undergo an initiation, or simply practice indigo ray strengthening exercises like the one you mentioned above.

I am very careful about the Magical Personality, so I often only evoke it for the banishing ritual. It is only when I engage in the Twin Hearts style working that I will maintain the Magical Personality throughout. It is important to me to have respect for this state of consciousness and so I do not evoke it if I do not think I can maintain it.

Also, because it is on my mind: I suspect that I am not the only one on this forum who is currently undergoing inner initiations. This month seems to be a powerful time for inner change.
