This is the last post in the series to my step daughter.*
Sometimes, people that are new to magickal practices come
into the shop, buy a fixed candle or other item, and ask me if just doing
something like that is dangerous. Will evil things find me? I always answer no.
On the rare cases when I see a danger, I tell the person.
I am never comfortable with a yes or no answer to that question.
The short answer is no. A single act of magick is very
unlikely to attract anything that isn’t already there. Sometimes, a single or frequent
acts of magick can create the illusion of attracting something negative. The
illusion is hard to explain without scaring the daylights out of people. They
only hear the first few words and their fears drown out the rest. So, take a
breath and relax.
An effective act of magick, at the very least, opens the veils
between worlds a little bit. It is technically possible for some lower-level astral
creature to take notice and get up to something. This is not the norm. More often
than not, people become aware of something that has always existed and blame
the magick for creating the problem. The problem was always there. Magick
simply expanded the person’s awareness.
Hypothetical Example: A person does magick to get some
money. Suddenly, they are in a car accident. The damage is less than their $1,000
deductible. Something happens at work and they lose a few hours a week causing
a financial squeeze. People blame the magick for ‘bad luck’. In reality, they
had a large deductible before they even thought about magick. Large deductibles
can be a good financial move if you have the deductible amount in savings. As
far as losing some hours at work, they were already financially on the edge. That
is why they did magick in the first place. Sometimes, magick teaches us what we
need to fix.
We could blame the magick or think that perhaps taking a
weekend job for six month to put some money in savings which is a buffer against
losing hours and the deductible. Magickal lessons are often life lessons. If
you do those things and then realize you are less stressed. Perhaps you get the
bug and start reading about money and how to handle it.
Hypothetical Example: A person does love magick to bolster
their relationship. Suddenly, a series of arguments break out and the relationship
ends. If the practitioner looks back, the subject of the arguments was nothing new.
Years later, she may look back and realize she dodged a bullet when that man
left. All that happened was the magick added passion to an already shaky
situation. The emotions boiled over. Better sooner than later.
Hypothetical Example. The same scenario but now glimpses of
a mean face are seen out the corner of the eyes. Some things go bump in the
night. Holy cow! The magick opened the door to some dark force! Well, that
cannot be eliminated. On the other hand, that force may be the reason the magick
was needed in your love life in the first place. Perhaps, the mean man has been
there for a lot longer than you realized. The magick revealed the problem. Isn’t
that a good thing? Now, you know what you need to deal with.
It is possible for totally random ‘things’ to drop on you
from the astral when you do magick. A regular practitioner does need protection
from these things. On a one-off act of
magick, usually, that is not the case.
When it comes to intuitives there is a greater danger.
Intuitives live between the worlds anyway. That is why their intuitions work.
When you spend a lot of time between the worlds, the chances of negative forces
attaching increase. Why? Because most of the time people live like this live
just above the surface of this world. Which, is the bottom of the next world.
Gravity still applies. Muck descends.
The best protection is to stay out of low-vibe places like
bars, adult book stores, drug infested neighborhoods, and dance-clubs that are
mostly meat markets.
The next level of protection is the wearing of certain
stones, smudging oneself and the home and keeping cleansing stones and herbs
around the house.
The last level is learning to do some basic defensive magick.
Magick can create some problems but those problems are
usually already existing and thus simply revealed by magick. While not always
the case, that is a better place to start looking than some scary evil force.
Intuitives, often quite afraid of magick, need protective magick more than the occasional
magick user

appreciated Father’s Day cards. Sometimes, I am just oblivious and think of
things like being related by marriage as in in-law.
