Breaking free of the "mundane"

        Being a witch is living free of the constraints of the mundane world.  It is not to live in some magical fantasy land, but rather to realize that there is no difference between the magical and the mundane.  Magic is everywhere.  It is in everything.  It is everything.  The forces that brought this world into being, sustain it, and will one day destroy and re-create it are nothing if not magical, although in a way much deeper than what people usually mean by the word.  Words really can't describe it, and "magic" is simply the closest we can get with such a crude method of communicating.  The second you begin making a distinction between magical and mundane, you severely cripple your sorcerous capabilities.

       Take a look at the pictures below.  They are from Green Hill Cemetery in Greensboro, North Carolina.  It is a christian cemetery in the middle of the bible belt, and even there you can see obelisks, solar crosses, and even triple goddess statues.  All three very magical and decidedly unchristian symbols.  Regardless of whether or not the builders of these statues meant to, they channeled and were influenced by some sort of non-human entity or entities.  It doesn't matter if you call them Gods/Goddesses, angels, demons, spirits, or whatever.  The important thing is that they exist, and they are everywhere, and in everything.  They are the true sources of our magical power. To work magic or sorcery is to be conscious of their existence and influences, and by working with them closely, communing with them, and forming relationships with them, we can learn to direct their energies and powers to a specific end.
