Magick by Intention: Personal Power and Strength

As we grow as individuals and Magicians, we seek to increase our PERSONAL STRENGTH AND POWER in order to to further the goal of achieving our Will. In the Western tradition, this development of personal Will has been seen as an inalienable, God-given right, a corollary of the belief God has given each human a unique purpose in Life. Even nontheistic philosophers in the Western tradition hold the advancement of individual liberty (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness) and Will to be part of the cumulative advancement of culture and civilization.

The Will of the individual does nevertheless come into conflict with the Good of the People. Institutes of Law, Learning and Religion seek to harmonize the two poles for a balance. Modern spiritual practitioners (as well as ordinary public opinion) are moving towards wholistic integration which recognizes that any action that causes harm to another harms the Whole, and therefor harms the Self. True personal power then, finds its Strength in the Ecology and Ecosystem of The World.

Fire is the lead Element of Strength and Power, giving us the energy to do the Great Work. Sun is the Planetary Power that energizes the Solar Plexus, connecting Will to Destiny.

Magick by Type: Voudou and HooDoo

Voudou and hoodo Magick
are a rich and powerful set of traditions that have mingled with Western Occult traditions especially in the Southern US. Strictly speaking, Voudou, Louisiana Voodoo or Haitian Vodun are distinct from Hoodoo, which is also called Conjure or simply Rootwork. Hoodoo is more syncretized with Christian faiths, and is primarily a tradition of magick and spellwork. Voudou is an organized religious system in a family of African diaspora religions which are practiced primarily in Western African countries and the Western Hemisphere.

In the American South, and in New Orleans in particular, these religious traditions brought directly from West Africa and indirectly from Caribbean nations, especially Haiti, blended with Christian faiths and practices of French occultists and Native American spirituality into a rich gumbo of spirituality and magick. The African style of conjure magick must have seemed very logical and familiar to kitchen witch style spellworkers from or descended from ancestors from Western Europe, and subsequently many Hoodoo and Voodoo ingredients and formulas became next to indispensable in the Natural Magickian's herb closet.

Magick by Intention: Protection

Protection Magick, judging by the index of Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magickal Herbs (as I do on regular occasion), shows Protection to be THE biggest magickal concern by the sheer number of plants that have been wielded to defend Self, children, kin, home, property, beasts, crops, and the wide open landscape.

Where once we sought protection from beasts and the crueler aspects of Nature, we now more often seek protection from other humans, from the ravages of war and from the criminal element of our civilized lives. Ingredients of many protection potions will mostly draw from the Elemental power of Fire and Earth, and from the Sun and Mars Planetary power. Many will have a strong, pungent scent and tend to activate the mind and awareness of our surroundings.
