M is for Magic. Healing with words. Day 13 #atozchallenge

magic |ˈmajik|
noun
the power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces
• mysterious tricks, such as making things disappear and appear again, performed as entertainment.
 a quality that makes something seem removed from everyday life, esp. in a way that gives delight
adjective
• used in magic or working by magic; having or apparently having supernatural powers 



Dear God, Gods, Goddesses, Mother Earth, Deities, Icons, Saviours and Scientific Equation,  

Despite your troubles, I trust you are all happy and well. I have a pertinent question. Why do I have to write about Magic?  Does the Universe demand it or is it perhaps Angels whispering to my Intuition

I was doing so well in this #atozchallenge (I'm even learning about hash tags and how to make links), but then I hit 'M' and my Spirit lost interest. Now I feel compelled by some Super Natural Power to change the Course of the letter 'M's' Destiny and choose a word I was happy to avoid. Must you always persist with what I fight to resist?

Is the Great Void sending Divine Intervention? I still Believe Movement would be a much better M word, it's there in my deck, it has so many Meanings and thousands of Teachings.  I can be Light hearted, funny and write about the importance of healthy bowel movements. I'm quite the expert in defecation and there's no better feeling than a good release of your toxins. Isn't posting that Magic happens, just Pontification? 

Must I be the Messenger of  Foils and Fables the Fairy Tales of Wizards and Witches, or just Stories of Fathers Father being a Magician, entertaining the family with his card games and Tricks? Is it the Magic of Dream time, or Great First Nation Spirits, sharing their Wisdom, Healing and Animal Medicine, or Pagans with potions and Spells for a Trip? There's the Magic of Alchemy and what's that in the air, that surrounds a couples first kiss? Perhaps it's just Energy, both Good and Evil, is it just Morals, a Creation or a huge fascinating Mystery. 

Dear God et al, if I don't hear from any of you, before I post this for 'M' day on the 15th of April, I will patiently wait for your response or suggestions in the comments, and in the meantime I will just spread the Message that the Miracle of Magic is children always love to Imagine it's the Truth.

May the Force, to spread a little Magic, Be with You. 

From 

Me

Find out how I chose my theme by reading my intro blog A-Z challenge list. Words of change.  You are welcome to add more words to the list in the comments - that I'll link back to you.

A-Z challenge list. Words of change.

My little deck of Magic Spirit Cards have been around for a long time. Each card is about the length and width of two fingers, small enough to fit in my hand luggage so they have travelled all over the world with me. I wished they weren't called Magic Spirit Cards, so I created my own decks, called Magic Moments - but I didn't really like that name either.

They are just words, typed on the back of small cards, not tarot cards, but I have used them to do readings, and yearly, weekly or daily meditations.

I have, at times, used them obsessively, to the point of distraction, and frustration too - when I didn't get the word I was hoping for, or worse still - the word I was dreading.

I don't remember where I got them, the only trademark or name on them is a drawing of  a sun with the letter 'e' in it, (I'll post a photo in an update).  I don't know who created them, but whoever it was - Thank You - because they have given me lots of stories.

I use them now for sentimental sake, if I am quiet long enough I know exactly what word to use.

In honour of my Magic Spirit Cards I dedicate my  A-Z challenge blogs to the words that changed me.


The deck has 49 cards remaining in it, and the list already has close to 80 words.  I will choose one from each letter for the challenge in April, and lets just say, I'm pretty pleased that I have fodder for the next few months lying in this list, and I know I will add to it.

Words in black are from the Magic Spirit Card deck.  There are a few letters of the alphabet missing, so the red words fill in the gaps, which I found while trawling the net on this very helpful emotional identifier list.  The green words have been sumbitted in the comments.

I chose positive words that jumped out at me. I will save the negative's for after the challenge. I can see myself referring to this list a lot.

I'm really surprised by the three *** marked words that weren't in the deck,  I must have lost them, or maybe they are bookmarks in some of my favourite books.
