Google announces Gmail Autopilot! At last a way to manage all your email communications without having to read and reply! What a time saver!

Of course, if you happen to look at the date of this release, April 1, 2009 – it becomes plausible that it’s an April Fools joke. If you actually read the material at the link – it’s so ridiculous it’s clearly a joke.

In America April Fools day has been losing stream. It’s hard for a fake news item to get traction when every day there’s the Daily Show, the Colbert Report, the Onion and so forth. We’re over-saturated with fake news.

How does this relate to Kitschchaos, and the power of our word? Well, after eight years of George W. Bush, America has become over-saturated with lies, lies of omission and misrepresentation in ‘real’ news as well.

In there here and now we’re approaching an economic depression on a global scale. How’d that happen? Misrepresenting to people their ability to take on debt to enable the creation of fast profit is the bottom line, why people are losing their homes to loans they are unable to pay and why that phenomena is crippling the global economy. The practice of not telling the whole truth, not being your word – is institutional.

That’s the subtext that in my opinion that takes the joy out of April Fools day.

But how does this apply to magic and the occult?

Simple.

You want power, be your word, keep your word. In many translations of the Biblical Old testament – “In the beginning was the WORD“.

This is something so simple, so obvious. As a magician, you’re in the business of translating your desire into reality. If you use sigil magic, you’re working with specific language – words. Any other form of magic, you are most likely using words.

If you are a magician and you don’t keep your word, it sabotages everything. Because your word has exactly the amount of power you lend to it. If you don’t mean what you say, your written statements of intent won’t deliver what you write.

But if you keep your word, empower it. Guess what? Not only do you become a better person, a more powerful person, a person that people listen to. But your word grows more powerful as you make a routine of keeping it. Giving your word is itself a powerful magic spell if your routine is keeping and respecting your word. You may heal the sick simply by saying so – for example.

In practical terms keeping your word means you have to live in reality. Don’t give your word if you know you can’t keep it. Once you give your word, you deny yourself the opportunity to eschew responsibility. If something happens that makes you unable to keep your word, you must communicate to let the relevant people know, put in the effort to clean up the mess. Always communicate to those you are responsible to. It’s a growing process keeping your word, never give up. You’ll get better at it as you do the work. If you want the power, you must do the work.

If you want to hack reality, nothing works better than good old effort and hard work! You want to do well in school? – Study! You want to become a great artist or musician? – Practice! You want to write a great book? Write some crappy books to get them out of your system! You want to become a great business person? Brave failure after failure until you succeed!

Magic isn’t for people that need luck, it’s for people that MAKE THEIR OWN LUCK!

Ha Ha – Happy April fools day!

But the joke is this – I’m not kidding!

Sigil magic, Hoodoo, Wicca, NLP, Law of Attraction – all magic requires a path to fulfilment! Sure, there are people that are magicians and spend their time doing magic and little else – that’s one game you can play. But if you’re interested in magic to grow a business, to get a lover, to become powerful, to become masterful – you have to do the work! And the work looks like the effort and hard work of a puritan work ethic!

If you look on this blog, I have Google advertising. And what’s being sold? Spells! To get rich! – To get a lover! And you know what -they likely work! I could do that too, and guarantee you a positive result! As a customer you’d get results too! But you’ll never transform your life with such magic! My magic will maybe help you  get a promotion or a job, but it won’t help you keep that position if you don’t work hard at providing value for your employer. My magic may help you find a lover, but it’s up to you to be faithful and worth the while of someone else to associate with. My magic may win you a critical business success, but if you don’t provide value to your customers the success will be very brief.

The point of this site is to get you casting your OWN spells. To get you to wake up to the idea that every act of will is magic, that your life is a work of art to create what you will! If you can own that your willed acts are magic – that effort and hard work is MAGIC!Commit yourself to your goals, be in action taking the steps required to meet your goals! You can transform your life!

Effort and hard work doesn’t work for everyone, we all know this. But it will work for a Magician! That’s the difference! If you routinely back up your sigil magic to provide a path for fulfilment – doing the hard work that’s needed – your magical success will be staggering!

If you take the content of this post to be something to disregard as an April Fool’s joke, and choose to use magic as an alternative to doing the work, you may create your own reality – but you’ll be the only one living in it.
