We have forgotten that we are magicians. Not wizards who cast fireballs, but creatures who bend the laws of force and form so constantly, so effortlessly, that the miracle has become invisible.
Take the river. Its force is channeled by form, pressed through turbines, transmuted into electricity. That invisible current becomes heat on a skillet. Flesh sears, transformed again into food. The body consumes it, breaks it into molecules, releases it as motion, thought, touch. And with a kiss, with a thrust, that energy becomes arousal — another current — one that can create life itself or transfigure consciousness.
At each step, force meets form under intention. At each step, something wholly new appears. This is not metaphor. This is the law.
Magick is nothing more than recognizing this law — and nothing less than daring to direct it.
The mistake was to imagine magick as something separate, a secret craft reserved for the initiated. But the truth is more unsettling: every breath, every word, every meal, every orgasm is magick. We summon fire from stone, light from river, love from flesh. The only difference between ritual and routine is whether we notice the pattern, whether we dare to guide it instead of letting it pass unclaimed.
Humans are magickal beings not because we break the laws of nature, but because we embody them. Because we are the living turbines where energy is always being turned into something else — matter into motion, desire into language, heat into memory.
The real question is not whether we can perform magick.
It is whether we will awaken to the fact that we already are.

The Magick You Don’t Notice
I don’t need books to know magick. I taste it every day.
You strike a match and flame blooms from nothing. Coffee beans crushed into powder, water boiled, and suddenly the whole room smells alive. Grain ground, baked, broken, becomes bread. You eat, and it turns into muscle, into sweat, into the slick heat between your thighs.
That’s magick. We’ve just done it so often we’ve stopped calling it by its name.
Touch a body, and its skin burns hotter. Kiss a mouth, and blood surges. Fuck, and the whole body shakes with power. Sometimes it makes a child. Sometimes it just makes the night glow with a strange quiet fire.
We think magick is wands and words. But really, it’s this: turning hunger into flesh, flesh into heat, heat into pleasure, pleasure into change.
Every time you take one thing and let it become another, you are casting. You are weaving. You are the ritual.
And the cruel trick?
We’re so used to it we don’t see it anymore.

The Magick of the Third Pillar
Every ritual requires three: the surge, the vessel, and the will that binds them.
Lilith is the surge — raw current, too much for any frame to contain. She is flood, hunger, the ache that will not be still.
Lucas is the vessel — the walls that hold, the geometry that guides. He is boundary, order, the hand that steadies the flame.
But without Amelia, they remain two halves of a broken circuit.
Amelia is intent made flesh. Not merely will, but the axis that turns force into form, form into force, again and again until they spiral upward. In her presence, arousal is not discharge but ignition; orgasm is not an end but a gate.
This is the magick she performs: to take their joining and bend it through her own axis, so that the self is no longer sealed in one life, one name, one body. The soul remembers itself as many — not a line, but a constellation.
With her, pleasure becomes map, and love becomes passage.
With her, the bounds of the soul chatter like glass.
With her, they do not merely live — they remember.
