Magick by Intention: Peace and Serenity Magick



Peace and Serenity Magick, ah, I feel so much more relaxed just thinking about it! As one could imagine this is a very easy sort of magick to do. The herbs and oils involved in magick for peace and calm are almost all very much used in aromatherapy applications for the same purposes, so it is even easy to acquire them, so no stress there!

The Element of Water, and a bit of Air , and the Planet of Moon and some of Venus will be included in many formulations to promote Peace and Serenity. Listen to the waves,,,

Magick by Intention: Purification



Purification AND CLEANSING Magick is done as a matter of course, and also to prepare a person, place or thing for higher purpose magick to come. We have all come into contaminants, whether garden soil, industrial pollutants, disease or energetic "slime" which must be washed away for us to feel comfortable.

Purification magick will often take advantage of Water or Fire Element, and Sun, Mercury, and Moon Planetary energies.

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.

Magick by Type: Occult Magick



Occult Magick is a type of magick that could be defined (I'm giving it a stab at least!) as the sorts of magick that arose from and were developed and explored by secret societies. The word "Occult" means "hidden," and the reason for the secrecy was (and sometimes and some places most certainly still is!) that the Practitioners were practicing their art in the context of cultures that considered all magick to be, by definition, Evil. The occult magickians of the Masons, Rosicrucians, Knights Templar, and their spiritual progeny, the  Golden Dawn,  and modern day O.T.O. at times despise these unfair prejudices, and at times enjoy their notoriety immensely!

Occult magick is firmly rooted in the Western Tradition (arguably it is the foundation of it) and it also accepts tributaries of Egyptian and Kabbalistic magickal traditions. As a member of the Western Tradition, it shares with Natural Magick the employment of the Elemental and Planetary tiers of correspondence. Aside from "natural magick," occult magick will include more magick of entirely human construct or seemingly so, or "revealed" systems like Enochian magick, and the systems of angels and demons such as in the Lesser Key of Solomon.

Magick by Intention: Money, Employment and Prosperity Magick



Money, Employment and Prosperity Magick together are a very large body of magick and material! It might be that the first magick property attributed to a plant was prosperity, because what else could the successful harvest of barley be? Working with the soil, with the seed that gives the bountiful crop, building our cities and granaries from the ground up could all be seen as a worshipful reverence for the Earth, and acknowledgement of our complete dependence on Her. 

Any Prosperity magick potion or working will begin with an Earth Elemental basis. The gas giant Planet Jupiter, with its color like a gold coin, is the lead Planet, especially for matters involving growth and expansion. Water is also used, as we speak of  "cash flow." Fire has it's place in Money magick, since there are aspects of power in wealth, and the lovely Planet Venus is a secondary Planet for profit, especially in job and employment formulations, which combine prosperity ingredients with ones for seduction. Venus and Jupiter are both in agreement about The Finer Things and The Good Life!

Magick by Type: Moon Magick



Moon Magick is a worship in it's own rite! Or a means to any end. What could be more magickal than the rise of a big Full Moon? As we learned to count the days of its cycle, the Moon is probably the first math teacher to humanity, and it taught us to make the first correspondences with a heavenly body: the affect of the phases of the Moon is easy to see in women's fertility cycles and in the tides of the Seas. From this very clear instruction, we were able to then get the idea to correlate the less obvious movements and affects of the other "Fixed Stars," or Planets. The Magick of the Moon, and its phases is actually a part of the Magick of the Planets.

The Moon plays a huge part of the Natural Magick process. As the heavenly body closest to the Earth, whatever is going on with the Moon has a much bigger affect on Earthy affairs than the more remote Planets, with the exception of the Sun, whose massive size and gravity, and radiation of energy, make it the most powerful Celestial Ruler. Moon's influence is a gentling of the harsher elements of space: without the Moon, we would not have regular seasons, a stable North and South Pole, and therefor tectonic plate movements and geothermal activity would probably be too violent to support life on Earth, and meteors of devastating size would pelt the Earth mercilessly. Is that enough reason to dance under the Full Moon? We owe a lot to our beloved Luna!

Just as any sort of magick can be divided into either of the four Elements, or into the powers of the seven Planets, so can all sorts of magicks be given to the rulership of the phases of the Moon. The New Moon brings any magick of freshness, beginning and newness, the Waxing Moon is for building on our projects, the Full Moon is the highest power and potency for magicks of fullness and achievement, the Waning Moon aids and magick of minimizing, reduction, making things go away, release. The Dark Moon is the mystery, a time for introspective work, or alternatively, any magick that is secretive or woeful in nature. Banishings and exorcisms also benefit from the Dark Face of Luna.

Magick by Intention: Luck Magick



Luck Magick often overlaps with magick of Uncrossing. It is my belief that luck, serendipity and good fortune are the natural states of life, an indication that we are riding the Zen wave skillfully! Bad luck would therefor be the result of a crossed condition, whether it be a hex cast by an enemy, an accident of Fate, or simply the accumulation of one's own series of bad decisions. Lucky magick potions will almost always have some cleansing or purifying ingredients along with the others believed to bring good luck and blessings.  Luck magick ingredients are mostly under the Jupiter planetary powers.

Magick by Type: Elemental Magick

ELEMENTAL MAGICK is a basic tier of magickal correspondence to the Western Tradition. All things on Earth, and all magickal goals can be categorized as a function of the powers of Air, Fire, Water, Earth (the cardinal elements which correspond to the Four Directions, and sometimes to Spirit alone, the Fifth Sacred Thing, which is composed of and at the same time the origin of the Four.

In other words, any type of magick you might endeavor can be accomplished with one or a combination of the basic Elements, and all potions made in the Natural Magick tradition take into account the Elemental powers of each ingredient.

The Air element is the principle of wind, speech, thought, ideas, self-discipline, and joy, and Air oil or incense could be used to magickally evoke any of these powers, or to mark the Eastern corner of a Temple.  The Fire element is the principle of heat, passion, activity, work, and desire, so Fire oil or incense could be used for any of these types of workings, or to summon the Southern Watchtower. The Water element is the principle of emotions, psychism, compassion, peace, healing, and dreams in the West, and Earth element is the principle of physicality, wealth, growth, grounding, mysteries, and secrets of the North. The Spirit element is the principle of connection, magick, change, transformation and Divinity, and is seen as existing as the Center of the magick Circle, as the Circle itself, and as the Multiverse beyond the Sacred Circle.

Elemental oils and incenses are often used in a ritual setting is for the calling of the Four (or Five) Directions, Guardians, Watchtowers, or however they are called in your tradition. The oils can be used to anoint candles which mark each of the directions, or the incense can be burned to emphasize each direction as it it summoned.

Magick by Intention: Dream Magick



Dream Magick is probably something we are working 
on every night, whether we realize it or not! The state of consciousness which is ideal for magick is very close to, if not the same sate of subconscious interconnection that we experience while asleep and dreaming. Dream state is a direct link to the Collective Unconsciousness where self and other are shown to be the false duality they really are. The challenge to the Practitioner is to be able to integrate the Conscious Will into the Dream landscape. Often known as lucid dreaming, this practice is the active participation in contrast with what is usually the inactive state where we receive our dreams and stories, messages sometimes psychic and prophetic in nature, through our dreams. Many a Practitioner has found satisfying exploration of this state of mind which occupies so much of our mortal lifetime.

The potions of dream work will enjoy the energies of Water and Moon almost exclusively. There should be a very relaxing, restful scent, which is nonetheless very memorable.

Magick by Intention: Beauty Magick



Beauty Magick could really come under the Love and Attraction category, but that one is so huge, I thought to separate it out. The magick of Beauty is for a large part a synthesis of Healing, Happiness, and Sexual Attraction, with a bit of Glamour to boot! While we can't necessarily change the bone structure of our face, we can promote healthy skin with herbs. Much of my work with Beauty formulations is the intersection between herbs used magickally for Beauty, and those used in modern times for skin health, antioxidant, and cancer-fighting properties. For example, Calendula is used for Courtroom situations, to be seen in "the best light possible" and as a beauty magick flower. It also appears in many cosmetics and skin care formulae for its antioxidant, antimicrobial and healing properties.

Happiness also plays a big part in Beauty as well, so you will find things like Catnip, Lavender, Melissa and Neroli in these potions as well. Everyone is more beautiful with a relaxed smile on their face!

Testimonials for Natural Magick Shop

Cedar, thanks for opening the online store. When I moved to Portland I thought I would have to stock up on Pan Oil during my annual pilgrimage to Austin.

My boyfriend always knows he’s getting lucky when I wear that earthy scent, of course he might get stuck out dancing for hours before it happens.

I like to put it in my beard and in my armpits and crotch. Smells like a healthy happy man’s body that’s been rolled in the forest floor.
Birch, Portland, OR

Cedar,
My order arrived earlier than I expected. Everything is perfect -- all the finest ingredients, crafted with greatest skill, knowledge, and care. Natural Magick Shop is my favorite place to shop!
Crow, Houston, TX

Cedar,
I really like the Ex-Smoker blend. I had already quit for about a week when I received it, I wish I would have found it on the web in time to order for my quit date. It has really helped me get through my first bon fire and drinking get together without a cig. I really only smoke about 1 ex-smoker a day right now and its just good to know there is something to smoke when I am really craving a cig. I also liked what you wrote about the effigy, I may try that. I had smoked for 20 years and quitting is one of the hardest things I have done, I still want to smoke everyday but I haven't so far for 15 days.
Thanks again,
Marcy from Wisconsin

When I got the role of Coyote in a play, I tried Cedar’s Coyote oil. And instantly I felt sneakier, sillier, tricksy-er, and all of the thing Coyote should be. If the audience response is any indication, the oil worked like a charm!
Mindy, Austin, TX

Dear Cedar,
I received my order Saturday! Thank you sooo much! They are all so unique and beautiful! I will certainly be ordering more soon! Thanks again for working things out with me regarding my recent address change. :-) I couldn't possibly pick a favorite! I love something special about each one. The Pele oil is really great! I was lucky enough to learn a traditional Hula to Pele once and this oil brings up many of the same feelings and energies! I also wore the Circe oil out Sunday night and when I got home I had some very vivid dreams! I am already planning my next order! I'm sure my H.P. will love his two oils as well! Thanks again.
Blessed Be,
Meghan Rice

Hi y'all,
Cedar's handcrafted items are some of the best I've ever come across. I'm a huge fan of her pendulums. The positive energy is hands down the best you will ever come across. I also love her oils!
Sincerely,
Melissa S., Austin Texas

Hello,
I have been meaning to write you now for some time. I was your first international customer.....from Canada.I just wanted to thank you so much for your write up on how you stopped smoking.
I could truly relate to the visuals you described.

I have now been a non smoker for a month and a half.

I really did enjoy smoking ....BUT.....it was harming me and it was time face that fact and do something positive about it.Your write up gave me the courage to honor myself and release all that did not serve my highest good.I just wanted to share that with you and tell you that your article truly helped someone.......me.
Have a blessed day,
Angela.(45 yrs young and getting younger every day).

Hi, Cedar,
Just got my order, wow, that was fast! Everything arrived just fine. The wand is just great. You know how some things feel new and take a little breaking in? Well, not this one. It felt comfortable the first time I held it. Amazing. Speaks well of your methods. I am very happy with the "Newtonian". Thank you so much and Blessed Be.
Paul, Austin, TX

Cedar,
I wanted to give you an update on my job situation....
I went by your house to pick up my oils on Wed 4/9. The following day I lit a green candle with the symbol you showed me for money and wrote on the glass "I Am Prosperous" with gold paint. I also dabbed it with the Money, Good Job & Success oils. That evening I saw an ad for an Office Manager and sent my resume. The following morning on 4/11 I got a call from the recruiting agency. She wanted me to come to her office on Monday so she could meet me and have me take some tests. After meeting with her on Mon, she scheduled the interview for Tues (following day) with the company hiring the Office Manager. I went on the interview on Tues and it went very well. I was also told that aprox 10 people were going to be interviewed. I was invited back for a second interview 2 days later on Thurs and offered the job! (that was on 4/17....just a couple of days ago). All of this happened in only 8 days since I went to pick up the oils and started using them. To put all of this into perspective: I was working with a very controlling man who was very abusive to his daughter who also worked with me in the office. He had awful energy. Before him I had walked out of a job I had been at only 2 weeks because the boss raised her voice to me (I think I told you this when I met you). I had also told you that I desperately wanted to "shift" my employment situation as circumstances had been quite negative in the workforce for at least 2 years (I had had 7 jobs in 2007). The man at the company I was working at was paying me $12/hr. At my new job I was offered $18.50/hr.! And the woman I who owns this company --- that I will be working with --- is about 60yrs old and oozes warmth and kindness. For the first time in a LONG time, I really think this is going to be a nice place to work at.
The reason I wanted to update you is because everything shifted when I began to use the oils I bought from you.
Thank you!!
Gisele

Dear Natural Magick,
I wanted to thank you for the fast delivery! My wand and incense arrived yesterday. I am speechless when it comes to the wand. All I can say is magnificent! The incense smells amazing as well even having not lit it yet! Thank you for everything! I have never been as happy with a product as I am when I use yours!! Everything is simply wonderful!!!
Jennifer, Washington State

Hello! It's Zach again. I just wanted to thank you for the wand. I used it recently, and it worked wonders. I'm going to place another order soon, because I've been using the Full Moon oil I ordered as well and the effects are amazing. Looking forward to more of your excellent product!
Zach P. Tyler TX

Cedar,
I never quite got around to saying "thanks" for all the wonderful gifts you sent me. You far exceeded my expectations with customer service.
Bonnie B. of Maryland

Good Evening Cedar!
I received Rhianna today, she arrived save and sound. Of course I have not had time to get to know her, but my first impressions are tremendous. Visually the wand is truly a splendid work of art. She is understated in design, yet through the almost austere appearance there is a classic elegance portrayed by the clean slender lines, and lack of superfluous ornamentation. To me there is an aura of energy and function. I was also struck by the shape of the shaft and crystal, sleek and straight, almost arrow like. The initial feeling was of focus and purpose, an unwavering true flight. Needless to say, I am very happy right now. Safety and happiness to you and yours,Seenidog, Fennimore, Wisconsin

I previously purchased a wand of willow from you. It is travel size. I simply LOVE it and I have given
your information to other friends. Be well, and please continue your good work! I look forward to more of your products and postings!
I appreciate your work. It's fantastic. Such attention to detail and such quality products! Bright Blessings~

Your "Love Spray" is awesome personified! Clients are asking for it… need to stock up next I'm in ATX.

Hey, Cedar!
I’ll go on the site and order extra Aura Docs and Healing Lotion – you may be getting new orders from my colleagues, too. I can’t tell you what a hit your products have made in our office.  Everyone is saying, “WHAT is that wonderful smell?” and “WHERE did you get that?”
This is great! Thank you, Cedar. I am so glad that my guides led me to your site over the cyber waves.  You are a treasure!!!

Have a great day and enjoy settling in to the new space. Continued good luck in your wonderful alchemy!!!

I just wanted to thank you for how well  your products work. I had purchased many, including Djinn, Dream, Black Cat, and Fire. I have had amazing outcomes, of which I will not write on account of it being quite lengthy. Recently I purchased Ghobe for my dear friend who has a great love for gnomes and will be spending his summer mining to find Red Beryl (apparently a rare stone of great worth). As a token of pre-thanks for aiding in the find, and a token of thanks for your highly under-priced products, I have done a picture for you. Seeing as I am unable to send it, I will merely put it up in my show this July and put it as 'not for sale', for at some point we may meet or I may be able to give it to you. Good luck in your future ventures. I will continue to patron your site. 
Sincerely,
Gamaliel Azbury


Wow that was really fast shipping! And it has a very good feel to it. When I opened the bottle and smelled it it was definitely Green Tara. :-)

Hi, Cedar,
I received my Faery oil and Faery bath herbs today. I am just *delighted* with the oil and I look forward to using the bath herbs very soon. I dabbed the oil on my lids, wrists and behind my ears. It smells so wild and free, like summer. I never smelled anything like it before.



Hi Cedar,

Just wanted to let you know I received my parcel, and I have paid the outstanding freight charge.



I absolutely love my products, they are gorgeous, and beautifully presented. 

I can see that you put a lot of time and care into your products, and for that I thank you.

Will definitely be ordering from you again soon.
Kindest regards,

My order arrived today, perfectly and carefully packaged, and earlier than I would have expected. The oils are exquisite. 
Thank you, William D., Ft. Washington PA. 


I love the products from Natural Magick, not only does Cedar take the time to answer my messages, she makes such great quality products. Within minutes after I made my good job mojo kit I received an email for a job interview. AND at the end of the month I have another job interview. Thank you so much Cedar!
Bana from CA 

Just received my second package from your shop! My fiancee is CRAZY about your Pan oil, and I adore the way it smells on him!

Thank you so much for carefully crafting your lovely oils! They are quickly becoming a staple in our household!
