I have thought long and hard on whether I would post this. I have decided that I will take whatever consequences may come my way on this but it this message must be heard.

Hello my fellow occultists, witches, wizards, shamans, practitioners of the craft, beginners to the wise and practiced. I come before you all today to address a topic of which I have a strong opinion and desire to speak of. Not only so but I believe this topic must be addressed so that those new to the craft may come to understand the truth rather then a falsehood that leaves many practitioners discouraged, offended or hurt. And I apologize in advance to all those who may be offended with my message. I mean no harm in my message, I only wish to teach a message I know to be the truth.

The topic I am speaking of is possibility.

So many practitioners believe so much to be impossible. So many believe it is impossible to attain such extreme desires or even simple desires, attaining love through magic, to control the elements, to do what we see in movies, to accomplish what we see in our childhood dreams.

I say now in the boldest and bravest voice I can. These practitioners are wrong. There is no such this as impossibility, there is only improbability. And by improbability I say this with the thought that no matter how improbable or extreme it may be it is still possible. The possibility may not be known to us at the current time but we all know that it is possible to do so.

It breaks my heart each and every time I see someone who is new and optimistic to the craft to be shot down by those of us who have been here for months, years, or even decades. If I have learned even one thing over all the years I have spent learning the craft, it is that there is never a no when it comes to the magick of life.

Who are we to say we know all avenues of the craft? Who are we to deny that it is possible?

Years ago a man named Christopher Columbus was met with feirce opposition by his colleagues and peers when he spoke of the world being round. Yet today we all know the world to be round.

The Wright Brothers, Leonardo Da Vinci, Igor Sikorsky all thought to be mad men for believing that aviation and flying were possible. Yet today we do what our forefathers dreamed of, flying through the air, sending messages across a vast network of energy, meeting people from other cities and countries across the world (I thank Thomas Edison, Bill Gates, Tim Berners-Lee, Steve Wosniak, Steve Jobs, and many others for this one).

Siddartha Gauttama, Jesus the Christ, Muhhamad, Moses, all doing that which was thought to be impossible. From so many before me I know that we should never excuse something as impossible. We ourselves are proof nothing is impossible. We are, as the bible states, what God calls a Perfect creation and placed as wardens of earth. I believe this to be true. Because each and everyone one of us has endless possibilities and beauty resonating within us and out of us. We create what has never been seen before, and we can continue to do so for all time.

All of us here at this site, especially the experienced practitioners I speak to, have seen the truth of magick when much of the general public believes it to be false we know it to be true. So much we accomplish which cannot be explained, recorded, or has not been proved and yet it is done. So I ask all of us who have closed our minds to the possibilities to open them once more and embrace the fact that anything is possible. We may not know the answers now, but we can find out together.
