Chapter 3 Magic
I
walked a little ways and stopped under a lamppost it flickered then
went out. "That's strange," I said to socks I crossed the
street and walk a few more yards and looked back At the Street light
it was back on. I turned back around and noticed that I was only a
few yards from the cemetery. So I walked to the gate and pushed it
open, it creaked under the pressure. I walked amongst the newer
graves and soon reached the old cemetery I stopped and sat down next
to a gravestone. I was covered in moss and the inscription was barely
legible. Socks seemed to have found a piece a grass to occupy him
self with. I opened my book and began to read
lesson one: Names
you now know who you power comes from but not
where it comes from. Your power is old magic and lies with in your
soul. It usually appears with out you knowing it mostly in times of
great emotional stress. But most of the time witches can control
their magic. Try this:
Focus on an object near you
I
pick a small stone lying in front of me in the grass
Close
your eyes
Focus on the object
And imagine it
floating towards you
So
I closed my eyes and imagined the stone floating
I opened
my eyes and … nothing
Now
the stone didn't come to you did it. That is because you didn't
call it by its proper name. Every thing has a name, and no its name
isn't stone
I
read this threw twice how did the book know I was focusing on the
stone?
Close your eyes and focus on the stone again. Ask it
for its name.
I closed my eyes feeling really stupid and
focused on the stone once again
"What's your name" I asked
for a moment I thought nothing was going to happen but soon I herd a
small deep voice "my name" it breathed "is ADRASTOS".
I
opened my eyes and looked at the stone then down at the book
See
now everything has a name. Now that you know his name ASK him to come
to you. Remember to be polite, never command something to do anything
Witches are equal with every thing and to command something would
make you seem above that thing and they may not like it.
"Umm,
Adrastos could you come here please?"
I looked down at
the stone and I began to rise from its place I opened my hand
Adrastos floated over my hand and set down in my palm. "Um thank
you," I said. I didn't know what to think. I am a witch. I closed
the book and set the rock back in its original place. I left the
cemetery and went back home.
