Magick is inside us. Power is inside us. We are fire and creativity incarnated. We use a lot of methods to access the power within. Crystal balls, tarot, spells, various ceremonies and so on. But all are detours, crutches, really. The power isn’t pulled from some distant realm, isn’t pulled through us, isn’t a favor or a boon granted by some god or demon or whatever. It’s pulled from us. It is the power within. We are the power.    In our flesh, our mind, our spirit is the key to the Universe, is the very Universe itself. It is said that we are the ant observing the Universe, and the Universe observing the ant, and it is true. If there is one single contradiction, it is this. We are everything and nothing, two meaningless terms in the hyper-reality behind the velvet curtain, where magick and we live and thrive.
