Movie and book sales attest to how human beings are increasingly drawn to the mystery and power of magic. On a more practical side, on this earth plane, you may ask how you discern between white and black magic. In fact, you are already thinking about how you use the magic of your choice, casting spells or charms in your life and dreams now.
Black magic is grounded in fear, the misuse of language and misdirected intent. People who practice this do not know what they do. They do not know themselves. They are unaware of the impact of their words, deeds or, how their thoughts and emotions harm others. In darkness, black magicians are blinded by their views or beliefs. They choose to perpetuate their ignorance and suffering, to shelter themselves from love, forgiveness and understanding. They have not learned transcendence or the intensity of inner energy. Everything they do is a measure of what they fear and refuse to see. Truth has the power to break spells of black magic. Truth is grasped through a chain of awareness.
White magic is love, linked to the power of creation and positive intent. It precipitates uplifting feelings in the conjurer, the thinker and talker who harnesses the power of words to enrich life experience. White magicians know they are made of light energy and how everything that exists is a messenger of light. This light is the teacher that shows everything is light perceiving light. White magicians perceive and understand the truth in everything and everyone, regardless of what other people choose to see or ignore.
If you assumed you would have the choice between a white book and a black book, well, there is far more to this than you would find in any book. Its not about a book, but rather, life experience, fables of smoking mirrors and what you decide to perceive. No matter how many elixers you mix up, how many chants you recite, whether you follow solar or lunar calendars or another sense of time and space, magic begins as a state of mind. You dream of justice or injustice. You create magic in your world based on a sense of unconditional love or inexplicable fear. Control your dream. This is meaningful magic.

You may be unaware you have ability to tap into dragon power inside. Its a purification process that unfolds as you connect to your Higher self and soul. This kind of power is unleashed as you evolve to understand and attune to body consciousness. When was the last time you recognized your intent or how you use the power you sense within already?
The method for opening hidden doorways is not a straightforward recipe someone can give you follow from where you are. Rather, its traceable through progressive states of awareness. Every moment, you are learning, you also clean out your 'power centre.'
Let's say as a light being, you hold untapped power you can learn to channel. You can use this to evolve, strengthen your abilities to connect with different realities, discern magical properties. This begins to happen as you learn to 'hold' and raise the intensity of your inner light. Knowingly or unknowingly, you currently limit your perception.
Some people assume dragon anything is pure fantasy. You may have seen images of these creatures of heard about their conquests in what you assume to be mythological worlds. What if your assumptions are misplaced? This kind of assumption overlooks what can happen as a person releases deep inner wounding of the ego. New experiences await.
If you've never been somewhere, have yet to experience alternate states of mind, then you may not believe in them. Yet, what you have yet to experience doesn't mean it doesn't exist. What you don't choose to perceive exists all around you.
How many people have you met who have read fantasy books and concluded they would like to attend their own school of magic? Its not that far-fetched. What would you wish to learn? Would you look at the back of a fantasy novel for an application or website?
Life teaches you that if you would like to experience something unusual, you may need to put yourself in unusual places or create conditions which seem out of your sense of the ordinary. You can do that where you are or travel great distances to find real magic.
People will say they had a profound spiritual experience near the pyramids in Egypt or next to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Other people will share mind-boggling energy vibrations at Stonhenge or other locations where the earth grid concentation is heightened. Would you view such experiences magical because they aren't yours? What if you share magic?
Different kinds of art exist. The art of light and energy is a course anyone can travel like an invisible thread to the core of the soul. You can travel to infinity and back in the blink of an eye and be unaware of the implications. Magic is never out of reach for you.
In your current mindset, you are out-of-touch with and unaware of many dimensions of reality. You may not know what's "there," even right in front of your eyes, but you can always learn to stretch yourself further. 'Out-of-reach' is a state of mind, a perception of where you belong or not, and what feels right. You create your own version of magician, sorcerer or conjurer. You often find teachers yet may not recognize the implications.
You may relate to Harry Potter, Merlin, Glenda the Good Witch in Wizard of Oz, or other visions of enchanted beings. You may read about what you assume to be fictional characters and wonder why you return for more. What attracts you to magic?
It may come as a surprise that you are attracted to traits in others that remind you about untapped power within yourself. Now, before you get too excited, this isn't meant to inflate your ego. Rather, its meant to draw your attention to rethink who you are.
Every moment of your life, you are surrounded by messages bombarded at you from all directions, even those you don't yet recognize or acknowledge. The focus of your attention is never arbitrary, but it likely strays from the truth about your inner power.
When you think of magic, a number of visions, words and ideas will come to mind. Ask yourself who or what ingrained those images. What is the origin of your attitude? your love or fear of the unkown? Magic itself is electrifying. You are an energy being who has potential to channel and attune to vibrations that are currently off your radar screen.
If you decide that magic is an untapped energy source within yourself, then you can begin to explore the nature of energy shifts. Each human being exists in a self-imposed sanctuary until paths are chosen to change that. Your life begins and ends inside you.

The Thunderbird legend is timeless. Some people believe it began as a myth of Native American tribes in the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes. Yet, the legend spread much wider. This great creature has been sighted by non-native people on many different continents.
Native American myths suggest this enormous Thunderbird is a guardian Spirit with innate power to influence changes in the elements and energy shifts in everything. It has penetrating vision and changes form to help regenerate and stabilize the energy grids of the Earth.
Legend says the magical creature flew with a whole whale in its claws and saved a Chilkat tribe from starvation. As lightning shoots out from its eyes and thunder clangs from its wings, you might imagine everyone would hear it coming. Wisdom reveals the depth of your faith and nature of your beliefs determine all you will sense and experience.
As it happens, the Lakota and other tribes believe that if you have repeated dreams of birds, the medicine or alternative healing way is part of your destiny. Yet, if you envision a Thunderbird, you are destined to be a ‘Heyoka,’ that is, to learn to channel and heal with electromagnetic energy. According to Laughing Deer in the
Encylopedia Mythica, Heyoka is “one who does things backwards or opposite...Spirit chooses who is Heyoka; it is a very difficult path to follow.”
Of course, difficulty is relative. Conditioning may have also taught you choose your own destiny. This in mind, you’re never alone. Discerning that the Thunderbird serves the Great Spirit beyond enables you to realize you are also guided you in ways you hadn’t foreseen by forces you have yet to understand.
Some people believe a Heyoka is a trickster to be feared, ridiculed and revered. Negative perception does not recognize illusion is part of the teaching medicine of Heyoka. Human beings won’t grasp life in the same way. Heyoka practices are sacred and have magical meanings that carry over into your life. Will you be empowered to shift your consciousness?
Heyokas are said to embody divine strength. They are trusted interpreters of dreams and heal with innate insights that even they themselves underestimate. They may unexpectedly enter your dreams or your apparent reality. Why? To remind you not to get too serious about your current mental state, physical form, thoughts and beliefs. Human beings are encouraged to be humble, to detach from conditions and to recognize Spirit wields all power. You only determine how you will react to a given set of impermanent circumstances.
Thunderbird magic itself relates back to the mythical bird’s role as a catalyst in the lives of human beings. It triggers revelation, transformation and energy shifts beyond superficial perception. Heyoka behavior, awakened by the Thunderbird, defies the status quo to awaken your senses to change your own behavior. The magic you hold within yourself enables you to initiate changes at the cellular level of your being. Thunderbird magic leads you back to rediscover the dormant magic within yourself.
After all, from birth, you master the art of producing your own illusions. Your perception is full of them. By extraordinary or mystical influence, you produce desired effects or results in every area of your life. How much of this do you realize? Supernatural elements are forces of your own nature. Thunderbird magic opens a doorway into another dimension of your soul. As you raise your awareness, you prepare to explore infinity.
