Fellow witches, especially those new to The Craft:

Please remember that *almost anything* you do can be magical.

I'm going to speak from my experience as a musician and composer here, as that is what I am most familiar with.

When I perform music, I enter a state of altered consciousness. It's very similar to the Buddhist "focused mind".

I cease to be "myself" and become solely a channel for the music I'm playing.

When composing, my musical thoughts come entirely from some nebulous "elsewhere". My mundane brain works out the mechanics, but the sparks come from somewhere outside of me.

(Con't...)
