About Me, Magick & MagickOfThought.com

About the Author

Hi, I’m Mike Sententia. I’ve been practicing magick since 1991. Rituals and canned visualizations never appealed to me. I want to understand how magick really works — all the stuff happening behind the scenes that turns your intent into changes in the world. Over the past 20 years, this question has lead me to develop a style that lets you see all the moving pieces in action, especially when they don’t do what you expect. It’s called “direct magick.”

About Direct Magick

Direct magick is magick without rituals, symbols, and the other intermediaries of traditional magick. Instead of focusing on what you want to happen, you watch what actually happens so you can so you can fix your failures and repeat your successes. As you understand more of how magick works, you can create new, better techniques for faster, more effective, more reliable changes in the world.

You can combine direct magick with other styles to make them work better, or do direct magick on its own for fast results without the rituals (particularly useful in public).

Ethics

To me, magick is a tool. It’s up to each of us to use it for good. For more, see this post.
