Quote for the Day - What is Magic?

To work magic is to weave the unseen forces into form; to soar beyond sight; to explore the uncharted dream realm of the hidden reality, to infuse life with colour, motion, and strange scents that intoxicate; to leap beyond imagination into the space between worlds where fantasy becomes real; to be at once animal and god. Magic is the craft of shaping, the craft of the wise, exhilerating, dangerous - the ultimate adventure.' Starhawk 'The Spiral Dance' pg 136

' The language of magic is expressed in symbols and images. Images bridge the gap between the verbal and non verbal modes of awareness. They allow the two sides of the brain to communicate, arousing the emotions as well as the intellect. Poetry, itself a form of magic, is imagic speech.' Starhawk ' Spiral Dance' pg 137

Magic - magical - magician - mage - image - imagination - I Mage - Magnet - Imagnetic - Imagenesis( creation out of image) - Imagnosis ( this through what we imagine we know - take a word and see what it imagines itself to be!!
