Seeing Magic Everywhere
It is early morning here in mid-Wales and, even though it is day, a large moth is hovering outside my window, wings outstretched from a straight body like a crucifix. It is silver in colour and shines with a clear and luminous light. It is unearthly.
This extra-ordinary creature is leaving now, having stayed long enough for me to see its beauty and appreciate the gift of its presence. It has been a messenger too, speaking silently of sights and visions to come, of visitors from distant places far beyond our world and of the constancy of Spirit in a time of change. Its words are reassuring even uplifting, and its very presence has been a reminder that we live in a multi-dimensional reality in which, if we look, magic exists visibly all around us.Through trust and acceptance and a suspension of disbelief, magical manifestation can be a natural part of our lives. Often we cannot see it because through looking so hard we have got caught up in mental contortion and expectation which confines us in the third dimension, far from the true world of magic. So, watch and notice what is around you with lightness in your heart and a love for all that you observe, and then the most mundane sight, even a moth, can you the greatest gifts possible from the world of Spirit.

... Dear Claire You speak of opening up to magical forces in our lives. Without that openness with its sense of awe, life can often appear to be comfortable, at best, but disharmony is always waiting on the sidelines. Getting too caught up in the 'banalities' of life, is a sure way of dampening the creative magical spirit which is so very much part of our birthright. Rediscovering that childlike innocence, acceptance and openness, we are able to navigate through all our choices, decisions and challenging situations. It is so comforting to recognise and to trust the forces around us to gently guide us: that allows us to know how we are in turn recognised. We do not abdicate responsibility for our thoughts, words and actions but enter into a relationship of mutual trust and understanding that can only lead to a more harmonious way of being. Thank you for reminding me of this. Your words have come at a very opportune moment. With gratitude and love Marta |
