I use magic for several things really - guidance, grounding myself, communication with other people and spirits, creative inspiration, self improvement, and understanding the world.
I'm also currently using it to explore an idea I've had in my head for quite a while - no one knows exactly where tarot cards come from, but one of the stories is that they came from Thoth, who also in one story gave mankind the gift of the writing and in another story created everything by uttering its name. My idea is that if there is any truth to these stories, then it could be that the tarot and the archetypes within it is a kind of blueprint of all of existence. I know that even if this IS true I most likely will never be able to comprehend it all, but I'm still exploring the idea anyway. (IMG:
