The Quickening
No, this is not a movie promotion. *soft laugh*
The Quickening is an elevated state of consciousness wherein a Magick User may assert control over the very peak of potency of his/her Magick at the
key moment of psychic discharge.Everyone talks about energy raising, visualization, and magickal tools. Those are necessary and important, but the greatest key component in all this is nearly always left out. I've talked to you all about when to do Magick and the masculine/feminine aspects of everything, timing, the moon and its phases, virtually every aspect I can think of to help you on your way. However, there is this one final thing left, which most books, most sites, and most Priest/esses leave out, without having a hands-on, conscious, and physical look at the one who wishes to learn.
The Quickening is that one key element.
When you stand too close to the edge of a precipass, and the wind blows a small puff at you in the direction of the fall...that jolt of adrenaline you experience courses through your heart, crawls all through your butt, into your groin and back into your heart...
THAT, is the essence of the Quickening. Adrenaline. It is a KEY component of Magick. They tell you to state with "strong desire." They tell you to concentrate really hard. They tell you to raise your energies for your spell. But they conveniently leave out the Quickening.
So whatever ~REALLY~ gets your blood pumping is what you need to do for your Magick to be its strongest. This is NOT any endorsement for drugs or alcohol. Alcohol and man-made or refined drugs are NOT tolerated within the Magickal Circle, nor the Magickal Life. They can and will seriously [and more often than not, detrimentally] affect the entire working. Your Magick MUST be your own and your adrenaline MUST be produced in a natural, safe, sane and consentual way.
Here, I give you the Quickening and its role in your SpellWork and Magick.
