Accidental Sorcery?, Casting spells without trying? Options

Hi,

I'm not sure if I posted this in the right section; the way I learned, sorcery was defined as magick done only in the mind. So if I did post this in the wrong section, would a mod please move it to the right section?


Tonight, as I was outside watering my plants, I was looking at the lights from the elementary school that's across from my back yard. As I stood there looking at the lights I thought to myself how I really disliked the lights (they are very bright street light type lights that are always on).

I started to think, wouldn't it be great if I could just get rid of the lights with no effort? So, just playing around, I picked out a light and imagined that I had a sharp metal spearhead in my hand. I imagined myself raising my hand to my mouth and blowing, as if I were blowing a kiss. In my mind the spearhead zoomed through the air and in 1 to 2 seconds traveled the 100 to 200 yards to the light and made contact, destroying it. Almost instantly that exact light went out. I don't know if it turned off or burned out, but it went out and didn't come back on.

It reminded me of something else that happened earlier this year where I was at a funeral and thought to myself, "wouldn't it be strange if the deceased's spirit started playing with that lamp; making it turn on and off?" And that's what happened; the lamp shut off immediately and flickered on and off throughout the whole service.

In both these incidents I didn't intend to cause any change, I was just playing in my mind. 'What if' scenarios, but they happened anyway, instantly.

I've been practicing magick for well over a decade, but I've never had this happen, that I know of. I may have but just wrote it off as coincidence. And instant results to boot.

My question is, is it possible I was preforming magick without any intention of doing so? And if so, why the instant results? I understand these could very well be coincidences, but that's really far out there if they are.

Do any of you have any experience with this happening to you or anyone else? Do any of you have any stories like this where you might have caused change but you weren't even trying?

I welcome your thoughts and stories.

I come from the point of view that individuals are merely catalysts of the grand sort, and in all honesty, we just happen to be atop a gathered amount of energy when it sets off and goes in a direction that we happen to find convenient. Such that an apple falls from a tree into our hands, and our hand happens to occur at that place and time, and if it were not our hand, it would be another.

This occurs thousands and millions of times over and over again, with or without our knowledge, and in a way, one thing we often forget is that its the magick that finds us and channels through us, not the other way around. What 'command' we have over the elements exists on a level so minimal that in reality that it could be that its more of a coincidence that the aether/source happens to have us there asking for things as opposed to random instances.

So you are saying that, for example, if someone is meant to die, the universe or whatever you'd prefer to call it, uses the path of least resistance to achieve the task? The person is meant to die so the universe uses the late bus driver that's speeding to kill the man? But if the man happens to step out of the way of the bus he would later choke on an apple, the next best path of least resistance?

Is the only reason I imagined destroying the light because the universe needed that light to go out and used me to channel the energy to do it, or did the universe take the opportunity that I presented to channel energy through me? Basically, did the universe control me or just take the opportunity that I gave it?

I want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. Please explain more.
