First we need to define Mundane as it applies to Witchcraft.
The Mundane world is our everyday world. It is getting up in the morning and going through our ritual of getting a shower, washing our hair, brushing our teeth, getting dressed, going to work, etc.
Magick can be found anywhere and everywhere. The trick, if there is one, is to know how to look for it. Looking for it can be easy, or difficult. It is up to you! The main thing I want to get across is that it takes an open mind and imagination to see Magick everywhere you go!
If you see a sonogram of your unborn child in your womb, isn't that Magick? Sure, it is a great deal of technology, but isn't that Magick? A human or humans figured out how to take an image and show you what your unborn child looks like through layer after layer of skin and muscle and blood! Are we so jaded by technology, that we can't see the Magick in that!?
If you see a fantastic rainbow after a summer rainstorm, how hard is it to see the Magick in that? Or a brilliant sunrise or sunset?
What we need to do, it truly appreciate what we have all around us! There is real Magick in the world, and we will be learning how to see it and manifest it!
The next time you make a cup of coffee or tea, or something to drink. Think about how you can add Magick to it. Would it make you feel better to add a teaspoon of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon? Would it taste better to drink it out of a special cup?
We will talk about adding Magick to our Spells and Ritual next time.
Look for the Magick in the Mundane!
Blessed Be!

Timing
Timing plays a big role in Witchcraft, Spellcasting and Ritual. The better timed the work or event, the better it will work.
Full Moon Ritual should be done the night before or the night of the full Moon. Sabbats should be celebrated on the Sabbat Quarter or Crossquarter, not on the chosen day on the Calendar.
An example would be the upcoming Sabbat of Beltane. Some call it "May Day" and celebrate it on May 1st. I will celebrate it on May 5th, which is the Beltane Crossquarter day, when the Sun reaches 15 degrees of Taurus. (Just for the record, this year, Beltane is on a Full Moon and on Cinco de Mayo.)
Spells for releasing bad habits should be timed for the Waning Moon, which is when the Moon has gone through the third quarter and is between the fourth quarter and the New or Dark Moon.
Spells for increase, as in Money spells or Abundance Spells should be performed and timed when the Moon is nearly full or full, when the Power is the greatest for increase.
Timing is everything, and there are many more ways to time Spells and Rituals, and more will follow soon.
Stay tuned...
Blessed Be!

Intent
What is Intent? Intent is a specific idea, followed up by exacting purpose.
I have mentioned Intent before where spells are involved. Successful spells require specific Intent.
An example of Intent would be having an idea and following through on it. If a person were to decide to go to the store, but have a flat tire on the way, and change the flat tire and get to the store anyway. That is Intent.
Intent is having the tenacity to be like a bulldog. To sink your teeth into something and not let go until the desire is achieved.
Intent is more than tenacity though. Intent is single-minded purpose. Intent is also purity of thought. It is not letting other things surrounding them let them be dissuaded from their final outcome.
Another thing about Intent, is that it is direct. When working a spell, it is best to turn off the phone, and not have any kind of electronics in the room at all when working the spell or Ritual. Outside noises can distract us from our Intent. It is also a good idea to cover windows and close doors, if there are a lot of distractions outside.
The more focused the person can be with their Intent, the better and more powerful the Witch or Spell-caster will be.
Focus of Intent is very, very powerful. Focus takes practice, and believe it or not so does Intent.
Spend time practicing Intent. See how many other ideas come to mind when trying to focus on one Intent. The sooner one can weed out the fluff and interference that comes to mind, the stronger the Intent and the more powerful the focus.
Good Luck, and Blessed Be!
