A Magickal Grand Plan

By Happiness & Joy, Inspiration, Paganism2 Comments

Magick (spelt deliberately with a “K” on the end to distinguish between real magick and the entertainers magic) is about more than ritual, casting spells and making potions and brews in the cauldron.

Magick can be done in many creative ways. So I decided to come up with a Grand Plan for the next 5 years of my life. How do I weave the magick in to it? With colour and symbolism through a collage. See below:

My plans are stuck on the fridge so everyday I will see them. Everytime I see them they will go deeper in to my subconcious (until they are imprinted there) and my subconcious will gather the energy required on the astral plane to meet all of my plans in the next five years.

Why don’t you try it?

What I’ve learned about magick is that after a while it just sorta happens. I find myself doing less spells, potions and brews and simply wishing and it happening. In Edain McCoy’s book Advanced Witchcraft: Go Deeper, Reach Further, Fly Higher it calls this Wishcraft. (There’s loads of more interesting reading in this book – so if your pagan I would highly recommend it.) Although I am still learning with regards to the craft (and most definitately always will be), I recognise how far I’ve come.

With thanks to my muse – who inspired me to express my grand plan in such a creative and fun way.

In love and light,

Credit Crunch

By Money / FinancesNo Comments

I must admit that I was worried about the credit crunch when I applied for a mortgage (see The Move). But it all was fine and I thought I had escaped any impact the credit crunch could have on me, wrong!

My main overdraft account is being reduced by £1,000. Ok this is not really because of the credit crunch. Apparently it’s in the terms and conditions of my account as a graduate. 🙁 I mean who reads the small print when you open a new account?

My other account the bank has wrote me a letter. It says I am no longer “elligble” for my £450 overdraft. Not elligble. This could potentially be the credit crunch or the fact I don’t fund the account as much as they would like.

So I have had to find £1, 450 extra cash. Inaddition to this it’s the dreaded car month. You know the month when your MOT, Car Insurance and Road Tax is due.

Recognising this cash flow problem I applied for a credit card. Tesco and M&S rejected me, can you believe it? I have never had a credit card before but always paid my other bills (mortgage – rent before this, phone bills, etc.) on time. The cheek of them. I applied for one more with The Bank of Scotland. Approved. Yes. Must remember not to go crazy with it.

Write soon,

A Night of Laughter

By Friends & Family4 Comments

A few nights ago my good friend Sye came round to see the new apartment (and hopefully me?). We went for a walk for an hour or so to realse some endorphines. I really enjoyed the walk, I should do it more often. We chatted for about 3 or 4 hours, often having more than one conversation going at once. It was fun fliting from one topic to another.

Then we settled down with some chips and watched French and Saunders – Still Alive. We laughed our socks off. We have a mutal appreciation for French and Saunders (although I am quite clearly the bigger fan – as I simply couldn’t be upstagged by Sye).

What I love about Sye is that he understands how French and Saunders make there comedy. I’ve said that when he does his live tour, I expect front row tickets.

Take Care,

Antony

X Factor 2009

By Music & Radio, TV, Online Streaming & FilmsNo Comments

Wow, I actually really enjoyed the X Factor last night. I usually cringe at the bad singers (and even get embarrased for them!). But this year it seemed to have a feel-all-warm-and-happy feel about it. It made me laugh at parts and for the first time I found the X Factor funny.

It was good to see more gay people in this hetrosexual world on the programme too. It shows the culture is changing. Believe it or not at one time there just weren’t gay people on the tele. Some were good and some were bad, not unlike our straight counter parts.

I also realised that Manchester has talent! Well mostly but we got quite a few yeses. I’d like the winner to be from Manchester.

Finally there was a feel-good end with Daniel, a teacher 27 years old. He seemed to be a born performer and also had nice deep brown eyes. Simon Cowell called him a “great performer,” My god Simon, have you had a personality transplant?

I want to use this opportunity to say I also quite like the new JSL song:
