The rights and wrongs of rites

There are three essential components in doing magic effectively. These are rites, rituals and trance work. For many years I did the first two - with limited success. When I discovered trance work, that was when things really took off.

So, to start with rites. First of all, what is a rite?

A rite is a one-off act which will help you pass from one state to another. As with rituals and trances these occur in daily life and we participate in them without thinking. Rites of passage such as a marriage and burial rites are obvious ones, but there are many others. Think about it - every time you send a card to help someone celebrate an event, you are performing a rite when you put down your wishes for them onto paper.

There are no 'correct' ways to perform a rite - only your way. 

There are simple guidelines; 

• Protect yourself 
• Prepare your space
• Prepare your mind
• Project your thoughts
• Perform the rite
• Give thanks

The only thing that truly matters when performing a rite is that your intention is pure.

Have a truly magical day.
