More amazing blood red sunsets as i walked along the beach with pansy, surf looks ominous dark and mysterious, the colors of a tragedy about to happen, i bumped into some people we spoke about some things, music, the universe, travels and animal communication, its all mental pictures apparently, although i communicate with Pansy through a strange long lost symbolic canine code, almost similar to Egyptian hieroglyphics, something i picked up from the gods of the underworld, annubus, when he plucked my heart from my chest, still beating and placed it upon the scales to weigh against the feather of Maat...but that's another story....

So more Why magick?
The structure of the Universe is filled with possibility, it exists in everything and manifests as probability in a material universe. For example when you flip a coin it is highly probable it will be a head or a tail when it lands but it is any of those things unless it is observed. The realm of quantum physics says no. And if not what is it? It's potential baby. It's potential to be a head or tail.
The Magickian acknowledges that he or she can influence the outcome and swing the laws of probability. It would be silly to say they can turn the coin into a fish but they can influence the outcome of the flip. This is strange example as magickians do not use their will to influence things like this, they usually create windows of opportunity to assist them with their creative processes, and the effort invested in ritual and focus needs to have a pay off relative to the result.
The Will is the arrow of the Magickian, and this can take many years to understand, the true purpose of someone's existence is something most people never consider but lets look at an example.
My Will is to make a music cd.It is what I was put on the planet to do, it is in my blood and bones, it is all i think about and it is where my talents lay.
Now i can't expect this to just happen, the probability is low, so i have to learn an instrument, maybe some musical theory, have a basic insight into the realm of music industry, get some people to assist. Write some songs, do the work. Okay having written a song I may decide I want to release it as a single, it has all the qualities that a good song should have, it's catchy, melodic, nice jangly guitars and good lyrics. So on the eve of it's release I perform a ritual. The ritual is performed according to the specific ceremonial specs needed (i'll look at this later) and hey presto the song is released and gets a bit of airplay.
Now this may have happened anyways, its hard to know but you have tipped the odds to your favour slightly, and like all good magick this needs repeating until it is verified. A strange thing that happens to me is I often sing a song, usually obscure and it is played on the radio the next hour. Because I sing the song under certain conditions I then invoke it and it manifests in my reality. Prayer is a simple form of magick as is chanting. Later we will look at how the magickian does this. For now just imagine this.
Going back to the observation of the coin, heads or tails?
Q mechanics suggests that when you look at the coin you choose one reality, the reality which registars as heads say, yet another reality is created where it is tails and you are observing that coin as tails. The two realities seperate yet both exist.
Fortunatly for me then, I get the girl at least in one reality....somewhere.
