Magic is the stuff fictional movies enchant us with. Magical people are portrayed as having superhuman abilities that help them to live extraordinary lives other people dream of. Is that what magic really is? Thankfully, magic isn’t something the few possess, but something we all have within us. Join SpiritualBlossom to learn what magic is. Find out how to make magic every day, how to make it change your life for the better, and why it is just as natural as breathing. Are we magical? Yes! Read on to find out about your own magic!
What is Magic?
Magic is defined as the practice of moving energy to create a change. This means that you change reality in some way. If you think of it, anything you do can become a magical operation. How? Well, think of the last time you walked into a room for a meeting, and everybody looked upset. If you smile and pleasantly say “Good Morning” it can change the energy, or feeling in the room because you have introduced some positive energy. That is magic! Likewise, if the energy in the room is generally positive, someone can walk in with a bad attitude and change that.
Energy is all around us, and all we have to do is direct it the way we want to. A simple way to do that is with our attitude. If you are planning a vacation, and get started with “Well, I don’t make enough money to afford the vacation I want to, so why bother?” You have already decided you can’t enjoy yourself. However, if you say” I’d prefer an expensive vacation, but that is not going to happen right now. Let me look at my budget and find a vacation package that fits that.” Focusing on the negative creates misery, but focusing on the positive creates opportunities.

After getting started with a positive “I can and I will” attitude, next ask yourself “How can I do this?” when you are looking to do some magic. Then, gather the things you need to make things happen, and get to work! Some people assume that magic is just doing spells and then forgetting about what you want to do. This is in the belief that the universe will do the work for you, but does it? If you want a job, should you do some chants, use essential oils, burn candles, and use crystals, and then wait for a job to fall out of the sky? Or should you do the spellwork and then apply for jobs? Doing the work yourself after asking the universe for help is the best way to do magic!
Being in Touch with YOU
One of the first, and best ways to do magic is to get to know yourself. What are your strengths and weaknesses, and how can you use them to benefit you? What are your psychic talents and magical abilities and how can you apply them? Finally, what are your goals and how can you achieve them?
Strengths and Weaknesses
Each of us has our best and worst qualities. Do you know what yours are? Some people say our greatest strengths are oftentimes also our worst weaknesses. Being outspoken can help you to speak out against injustices, but if you share every unkind opinion you have, it will create problems for you. Being aware of what you are good at and what needs improvement will help you to use your talents and abilities to help you, and if you are aware of your not-so-great qualities, you can work on taming them. Knowing yourself and what you excel and struggle with will help you to use your energy to your advantage, and manifest your magic.

Magical Abilities
Everybody has magical and psychic abilities. Do you know what yours are? Some people are persuasive, and they can talk anybody into nearly anything. That is powerful magic and fundraisers, social workers, and counselors use this magic everyday to make their communities stronger. Some people are naturally empathic and can sense what other people and animals are feeling. This helps them to be good at anticipating needs so they can help to meet them. Psychic abilities like the ability to talk to spirits and being able to foretell the future help people in their daily lives.

Goals
What are your goals in life? You should be using magic to meet them. To set a goal, first decide exactly what it is that you want. Then objectively consider whether exactly what you want is practical, or if you need to adjust your expectations. Next find out what it takes to reach your goals, and then roll up your sleeves and get to work. That is powerful magic. Some people think that doing a spell will instantly give them what they want, but the universe knows how capable we really are. We can manifest our goals; we just have to believe in ourselves and get to work. Read about how to make your dreams come true: How to Make All Your Dreams Come True
Spells
How could we discuss magic without discussing spells? Spells are a big part of magic, and that is because spells create major changes. They create changes in the person who casts the spell. They put us in the mindset to make changes happen. In this way they can act as the beginning of our work, which forges the path to success. Some popular spells are love and attraction spells, prosperity spells, and spells for personal transformation.
Love and Attraction Magic
A lot of people want to cast spells to attract friends or lovers to them. The easiest way to do this is to work a magic spell on yourself. We cannot cast a spell to force someone to fall in love with us, and a spell to be noticed is not necessary. The best way to get someone who you like to notice you is to talk to them! The most powerful attraction magic is to nurture yourself. Go out and live the life you want, which will help you to be happier. When you are out doing what you love, you will meet other people who also love doing those things. Being surrounded by people who are like you helps you find new people to build relationships with.
To be considered attractive, you will need to do some powerful magic. Adorn your body the way you would a sacred temple. Take care of your health. Eat the foods you love. Practice good hygiene. Buy good clothes that make you feel comfortable. Do the things that make you happy. These things create positive energy and people will be naturally drawn to this. If you try to change yourself to be a way you think will suit someone else instead of being yourself, it holds you back from the people who you are meant to spend time with. Focus on making yourself the best version of who you are, and the right people will be attracted to you. Magic! Read about being your best self here: How to Be Your Best Self
Prosperity Magic
Everybody wants to know what it takes to be prosperous. Money magic and spellwork to draw wealth is very popular. Being prosperous can be achieved, but spells won’t necessarily guarantee it. What will achieve it is work. You might make plenty of money but find yourself scraping by anyway. Are you living beyond your means or bad at budgeting? Rein that in. Is your income low despite hard work, long hours, and careful spending? Find a less expensive living situation. Asking for help is also very magical because when the help is provided, it creates wonderful changes. We make our own prosperity and the universe helps. Asking for help can be scary.

Personal Transformation Magic
Transformation is a big part of magic. Changing into a better form of who we are, or discarding habits that no longer serve us can be exhausting, but it is worth it. One of the most important things is to transform past trauma. When you have survived an abusive family, you may find yourself in one relationship after another that is toxic. Instead of assuming that all people are the same and you can’t trust everybody, examine the role you play in choosing who to have a relationship with. Make a list on paper of all the characteristics of people in your life who behave in toxic ways share. Then compare those toxic characteristics with the behavior of the abusers you survived. For example, if everybody who abused you verbally attacked people and thought it was funny, avoid starting new relationships with people who behave that way. It will magically keep verbally abusive people out of your life. The butterfly represents transformation and you can read about it here: What Does a Butterfly Symbolize?
Daily Devotions
You might benefit from daily magical practices that some people call “daily devotions”. A lot of people read the sacred scriptures of their religion daily as a way to focus their thinking on their god. Then there are people who research spirituality beyond the scriptures by reading. Other people will do meditation at the same time every day to still their minds and help them focus. Other people need some time to journal every day. Some people just have quiet time to themselves away from everything so they can pray in silence. Taking time out for your mental and spiritual development every day, setting special , sacred time aside for that might be something that becomes a permanent part of your magical practice. What will be your daily devotion? Read about making your own grimoire here: Creating Your Own Grimoire
Harmonizing with Creation
One of the most powerful things a person who does magic can focus on is harmonizing with the planet and all life upon it. Each of the seasons bring their own magic and being aware of this lets you know when to bring that magic into yourself. For example, Samhain is a time when the dead are honored and some people believe the dead communicate more easily with the living. That would be a great time to do a séance, or communicate with a departed loved one. A lot of people consider the Full Moon to be powerful. They will work magic and ask for blessings when the moon is full. Read about the meaning of the Full Moon and Full Moon magic here: Full Moon Significance, Lore, and Magic
Magical Tools
So when you do magic, what kind of things can you use to help you? Truthfully, some magical traditions have special tools like the wand, staff, athame, and sickle they use, but anything can be a magical tool. If you want to get a job, your two most powerful tools are your resume and how well you interview. If you want to use food for healing magic, your knowledge of what foods will heal what ails you is your most powerful tool. Your favorite lipstick can be a tool in attraction magic and wearing somebody’s favorite perfume can draw them to you. While a lot of people think of using the right color candles or the proper crystals to do magic, you might not have to stick with just those. The question is, will you buy your own magical tools, or will you make them yourself?
Bought
Store bought magical tools are easier to acquire. They are on hand, ready to use, and don’t require the time it takes to make something. So, they are quite convenient. Besides that, not everybody has the talents or skills to make things. If you buy something to use for magic that will be just as powerful as something that is handmade.

Handmade
The benefit of making your own magical tools is you can customize them, and you can also put energy into them while you are making them. For example, if you want a candle to use for healing, you can choose the color of candle, the oil you scent it with, and whatever herbs you put into it to help with healing magic. Sometimes, you just can’t find exactly what you need, so you can make it yourself. Read about magical herbs here: Using Magical Spices and Herbs
Magic is afoot! It is within us, and it is all around us. Everyone has the ability to practice magic, and it can easily be incorporated into your daily practices. A simple form of magic is doing regular self-work to constantly improve yourself, and spellwork can go toward any goals you want to achieve. Practicing daily devotions can keep you plugged into the magic that is all around you and harmonizing with the earth will help with that as well. You can use anything at all as a magical tool, and you can even make them yourself. Be the magic in the world, because that’s what you are! You are magic!
