Magick Quotes

“If you look for evidence that the world is made of magic, for evidence that your life is magical,
you will find it everywhere.”
― Molly Remer, Walking with Persephone

― Alex Kazemi, Pop Magick: A Simple Guide to Bending Your Reality

“Explore your light and celebrate your darkness.”
― Dacha Avelin

“Theosophists refer to the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel as the Silent Watcher (the reader might here recall the author's suggestion to make self-observation or self-watching a major magickal goal). Another term for It is the Great Master. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn call It the Genius. Gnostics say the Logos. Zoroaster talks about united all these symbols into the form of a Lion (see Austin Osman Spare's work). Anna Kingsford calls It Adonai (Clothed with the Sun). Buddhists call It Adi-Buddha. The Bhagavad-gītā calls It Vishnu (Krishna is an Avatar of Vishnu). The Yi King calls him The Great Person. The Kabbalah calls It Jechidah.”
― Laurence Galian, 666: Connection with Crowley

“Doubt, Scarlet, is the scourge of magick.”
― Ayshen Irfan, The Fire Within My Heart

“A Witch is a woman who emerges from deep within herself. She is a woman who has honestly explored her light and learned to celebrate her darkness. She is a woman who is able to fall in love with the magnificent possibilities of her power. She is a woman who radiates mystery. She is magnetic. She is a witch.”
― Dacha Avelin, Embracing Your Inner Witch: The Maidens Guide to Old World Witchcraft

“Often it is through a process of emptying the mind that transformation can occur. Ironically, the most powerful changes in our life can be triggered by a moment of emptiness.”
― Laurence Galian, Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence

“The One Thing can never be another thing, for then it would not be The One Thing. Therefore, the texture of the living braille of Reality may play with the senses, but it is only 'play.' For example, the 'words' in braille may be beautiful or terrible words, but the sheet of paper on which the braille is written always remains one sheet of paper. The Self-Realized Human Being (who in olden times was called 'God') transcends all religion, all opposites. As we discover our divinity, our inner and outer wars are transcended, as we are shocked to learn that we have been in love with both sides all along.”
― Laurence Galian, 666: Connection with Crowley

“You are the crowing glory. Remember your splendor.”
― Laurence Galian, 666: Connection with Crowley

“I shall plunge down into the abysmal horror of madness and death—or I shall walk upon the dawn.”
― Marjorie Cameron

“Mystery is what makes practicing magick so powerful.”
― Alex Kazemi, Pop Magick: A Simple Guide to Bending Your Reality

“If the k in magic(K) gives you hives, take an allergy pill and move onward to focus on more important things.”
― Laura Tempest Zakroff, Sigil Witchery: A Witch's Guide to Crafting Magick Symbols

“A fatal mistake in the history of the world which at the current moment still continues to be made is the confusion of the nation with its ethnicity. A nation can be made of many enthicities; tribes unite and divide all the time, and they go from one nation to another; or they just live on the territories of two or other nations, which further helps with the process of fusion of other different countries altogether. The examples are almost everywhere you look. But when a certain type of ethnicity gets confused that it is the nation, it almost certainly leads to discrimination, conflicts, racism and over all pretty bad and nasty things. The same thing happens when an ethnicity which lives in the territory of a certain nation starts to capsulate itself (to deny its belongings to any type of nation), or to seek a national identity elsewhere—then we have separatism.”
― Borislav Vakinov, Heresy & Metaphysics: A Compendium of Thoughts and Ideas about Magic, Philosophy, Art, Identity, the Occult and the Deeply Weird Side of Existence

“If you are drawn to the path of Witchcraft, it is because you've had some kind of life experience that has shocked you … and awakened you”
― Dacha Avelin, Old World Witchcraft: Pathway To Effective Magick

“There are other ways to create this 'moment of emptiness' besides having to 'hit bottom.' One method would be to perform physical exercise till a state of exhaustion is achieved. Another technique is through sexual stimulation to the point of orgasm, when the mind suddenly goes blank, and we experience what the French call the 'petit mort,' or little death.”
― Laurence Galian, Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence

“The more you know the force that is the opposite of the force you are invoking, the more you can successfully reach the Third Point of Transcendence. When dealing with personal matters, the opposite force is a force that is living inside you.”
― Laurence Galian, Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence

“However, far worse, is the teacher who can only take sincere spiritual seekers half-way to their goal, like a used-car salesman who sells a young couple on the way to their honeymoon a car that the salesman knows will break down long before they reach their honeymoon cottage. Too many people today are looking for some mechanical or technological solution, when the answer is found in the subtle marriage of spirituality and science. Many spiritual masters have already made the journey to the center of the galaxy through manipulating consciousness.”
― Laurence Galian, 666: Connection with Crowley

“By synthesizing contradictions, you begin to achieve a unity of being and purpose. Unity arises through the equilibration of all opposites into the point of transcendence. You then become a lightning bolt of power, transcending all contradictions. Your total power becomes greater than the sum of your parts. This is the Great Alchemical Marriage that is spoken of in the ancient texts: the annihilation of the two ingredients at the birth of a third.”
― Laurence Galian, Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence

“What are you protecting yourself from? Will you sell your life for fear's price?”
― Laurence Galian, 666: Connection with Crowley

“We need to be able to hold opposites, and this embrace is a profound act. Ultimately, we want to achieve an integral (intact and undivided) self. Coherence and Self-Realization are the means through which we attain our Magickal Aim.”
― Laurence Galian, 666: Connection with Crowley

“While psychologists will say that it is fear of rejection that stands between humanity and freedom, or deeper still, a public humiliation, the author believes that at the threshold to freedom, human beings (for some unknown reason - perhaps because of a collective trauma from the ancient past) imagine they will confront total annihilation. Nevertheless, maybe this is a good thing, for NO-THING stands between you and freedom.”
― Laurence Galian, 666: Connection with Crowley

“Crowley did not sacrifice children. Crowley always used analogies for things, so he called masturbation 'child sacrifice.' In his book, Magick, Aleister Crowley referred to masturbation jokingly and dysphemistically as child sacrifice.”
― Laurence Galian, 666: Connection with Crowley

“When we see everything in the world as a spirit, we understand that magic is only a form of natural persuasion.”
― Charbel Tadros

“Postmodern thought is often misunderstood, and the concept of pluralism—the recognition of many contexts and the understanding that no one context is privileged in and of itself—is often con- fused with the absurd notion that every approach, culture and tradition is commensurate and of equal merit.”
― Alan Chapman, Advanced Magick for Beginners

“The process of cultural change is a long and difficult one.”
― Starhawk, The Spiral Dance: A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Great Goddess

“We need images that move us beyond language, law, and custom; that hurl us beyond the boundaries of our lives to the space between worlds, where we can see clear.”
― Starhawk, The Spiral Dance: A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Great Goddess

“To be good means to give another what he really needs.”
― Alenka KRANJAC

“Thus there is an Absolute, in the matters of Intelligence and of Faith. The Supreme Reason has not left the gleams of the human understanding to vacillate by hazard. There is an incontestable verity, there is an infallible method of knowing this verity, and by the knowledge of it, those who accept it as a rule may give their will a sovereign power that will make them masters of inferior things and of all errant spirits that is to say, will make them the Arbiters and Kings of the World.”
― Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry

“Cursing and healing. Left-hand path and right-hand path. Black and white. Desiring and repelling. They are all part of the same circle. All interlocking forms of spiritual, magickal and transformational work. Human energies in the spiritual, coming into the material world through perfectly natural means. ”
― Dacha Avelin

“Magick is nothing more than the conscious manipulation of karma.”
― Charbel Tadros
