Highs and Lows of Magick

@euge--rome​

High Magick

High magick, also known as ceremonial magick, is the type of magick done by learning a precise and typically complicated ritual or ceremony. Its origins (in the West)  see it almost entirely rooted in judeo-christian myth until the late 19th century, and today many ceremonial witches continue to work using a high magick within that specific context. During the late 1800's and early 1900's the resurgence was known as The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, or the Golden Dawn for short. “The Golden Dawn was a magical system that blended elements of Christian and Jewish mysticism with elements of freemasonry and tarot, seeking to unify all of the religions into one single framework”. And although today this system is considered dead by many, the influence that the Golden Dawn had on Wicca and Thelema is strong, so it's legacy lives on through them. It is meant to have a spiritual purpose rather than a practical one, however these can absolutely overlap conceptually. These ceremonies and rituals involve improving the soul, which includes gaining divine purification, spiritual knowledge, having regular encounters with destiny/embracing one's own destiny, and attracting the proper magical influences for your soul to learn and grow in healthy way.

Low Magick

Low magick, also known as Folk magick, is a practical kind of magick having to do with healing, attracting luck or love, driving away evil, fertility, good harvest, etc. It is called folk magick because it is said to be the magick of  “common folk”, and records of these practices are sparse due to the illiteracy of the practitioners. This is the kind of magick more well-known however because this is the kind of magick that is recognized and used more often today between the two. Contrary to High magick, low magick is called low magick because of its practical nature and association with the lower class. Rituals were simple and evolved over time and they included everyday items that the modern which is more than familiar with such as plants and wood and so on. Another name for low magick is natural magick, as it is linked closely to the natural world in the ways that I mentioned(it having to do with plants and wood and such).  Natural magick has much to do with astrology and herbalism, however it's still in compasses more modern methods such as divination. Low magick has its roots in spiritual practices such as shamanism, which is regarded to be one of the world's oldest religions as well as one of the newest, as evidence of its practice has been discovered in Paleolithic cave art however it has evolved in such a way that many see it as being new rather than old because of the recently created Neo Shamanism variations. One of the earliest examples of shamanism, or at least that is what this cave art is believed to depict by experts, dates back to around 17,000 years ago. Shamanism is part of the Ainu religion and Japanese religion of Shinto, although Shinto is different in the way that it is Shamanism specifically made for an Agricultural Society. but enough of the history lesson, I'm getting a bit sidetracked here!

Conclusion

In all, the major historical difference between high magick and low magick is the classes it enveloped, however the difference today is that high magick is more ceremonial while low magick is more “casual” and down to Earth by comparison.

https://www.jsouthernstudio.com/blogs/esotericinsights/low-magick-vs-high-magick https://www.learnreligions.com/types-of-magic-95961 (info on shamanism, shintoism, and paleolitic art I learned in my AP Art class a few years ago)

TLDR: High magick is ceremonial, prepared carefully with instruments, emotions, and conjuring. It is rumored that the gods prefer high magick due to its formality.

Low magick is close to the opposite end is done using ordinary objects like a spoon or plants or a stick. Low magick is known for its simplicity and takes power from the earth instead of words or self power.

In Summary: The key difference between High (Ritual) Magick vs Low (Folk|Natural) Magick. Ritual Magick usually consist of a series of intricate steps, usually practiced with a religion or a deity. Low magick, contains less theatrics, usually does not call upon a deity, usually does not involve religion. High Magick can be used as a large group to summon big energy usually for a big change, low magick usually consist of an individual or a small group. Some feel Ritual brings them closer to their divine or deity more often then Low magick work.

✨🌙Happy Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn!🌙✨ Insights now on the blog! This Full Moon is a juicy one, with a lot of things beginning and ending. Our head astro witch, @beyondtheveil_tarot_and_astro , says, “There’s no sugar coating the effects of this particular eclipse. Lunar eclipses have a reputation for emotional unveilings. It’s an ongoing lesson in purging and the removal of something that threatens the dry foundations of your growth. Think of this eclipse as the event that actually starts the cataclysmic change. With this eclipse’s aspects to Pluto and the South node, its very evident some structure in your life is breaking down. This can be a job, that has become so heavy with the day in and day out routine. A relationship that feels more like a burden than a blessing. Potentially even a car, or place of residence that’s breaking down and having problems.

♉🌚Happy New Moon in Taurus!🌚♉ Candace from @beyondtheveil_tarot says on our blog, Esoteric Insights, "This New Moon in Taurus isn’t your stereotypical lunation in the fixed bullish sign. Uranus is linking up with this Moon, along with aspects to the South node shaking up the ground beneath us. With aspects from these two, we learn to accept that change is a vital part of our lives. It’s not always meant to create chaos, but flush out the old making way for the new. Similar to tilling a garden, this is an excellent time to break up old patterns, removing stagnant energy and outdated values. Taurus is a luxurious Venus ruled Earth sign so you may find yourself planting seeds of financial intentions. From banking to savings, or working with a budget this New Moon is excellent for focusing on creating a sturdy foundation. If you have plans of wanting to make an investment in a big budget purchase or a luxury item this is the time to map out your plan to pay for it. The grounded vibes of this Moon will give you..."⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Read more about this lunar event, including this cycle's Spellwork Sunday by our very own brujx fantastiq @pogo_pope on our blog... via link in bio! ⁣⠀ #jssjuju⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ 🎨 collage by @janevazentz .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #esotericinsights #fullmoon #collageart #newmoon #horoscopes #horoscope #horoscopeposts #astrology #astrologyposts #wiccan #pagan #newage #magick #vibrationalhealing #rituals #ceremonial #taurusseason #taurusseason♉️ #abracadabra #spellworksunday #hippiestuff #bohemiangirl #hippiegirl #moonandstars #tarot #divination #occultism #transformation #earthsign (at Glendale, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxDGp7hHIvi/?igshid=sdcyujclw86s

♈️🌚Happy New Moon in Aries! 🌚♈️ Lunar insights now on the blog, link in bio! @beyondtheveil_tarot_and_astro gives us much needed insight into this New Moon, during such a pivotal time, "This New Moon is a fierce one, with more than just a little bit of heat behind it. Aries, the cardinal fire sign, is the very first of the zodiac. It’s a sign known for its independence and willingness to forge on. This is the very first New Moon in the astrological new year. This begins once the Sun moves into Aries, as it did a few days ago on March 20th. For astrologers and those from the Northern Hemisphere, we call this the Spring equinox. This is the welcoming of new energy and new life. Those of you wanting to set new personal “new year” goals, now is your time. I promise they’re more likely to stick than the ones set in January! With a heavy dose of Aries energy conjunct Chiron, a significant theme is personal healing.

🌝♍️Happy Full moon in Virgo! Click the link in our bio to read up, plus some ritual inspo! ♍️🌝This one is an interesting one, our affiliate astrologer @beyondtheveil_tarot_and_astro says, "Venus has moved into the sister sign of Taurus and is nuzzled up next to Uranus. This can be some shocking, unexpected situations in regards to romance or finances. Shakeups taking place around the time of this Full Moon may take a solid week or two to pan out because they will be amplified by planets in Capricorn. Trust that what may ultimately come to an end, is meant to. Full Moons often bring some matters to a close. Space is being made for much more reliable possibilities. The universe is encouraging you to think long term. With Aspects to the north node, topics centering around home, family, or emotions will appear. Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) are especially sensitive to these changes, and may expect to feel..."⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ 📖Use the link in our bio to read more!⁠⠀ 🎨Loving this vibin' collage by @janevazentz!⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #esotericinsights #fullmoon #collageart #newmoon #horoscopeposts #astrologyposts #wiccan #pagan #newage #magick #ritualistic #rituals #ceremonial #newmoonritual #fullmoonritual #virgomoon #fullmooninvirgo #Moonritual #moonchild #moonlove #moonlore #altarritual #witchcraft #witchey #witchyvibes #heathens #moonchild #hippieshit #boholife #witchylife (at East Hollywood, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9hh7HGn4KN/?igshid=grzqshz3k9em

✨🪐March Horoscopes are now on the blog via link in bio! 🪐✨Lots going in this month! @beyondtheveil_tarot_and_astro tells us: "Some of the biggest news of the month is after several long years, Saturn will be briefly changing signs. Since the winter of 2017, Saturn has been in its home sign of Capricorn. It’s safe to say the last several years have been some heavy and obstacle-ridden times. However, Saturn is the planet that rules Capricorn, and when Saturn leaves a sign, he leaves a gift... Saturn traditionally rules Aquarius, and in modern-day, astrology is ruled by Uranus. It’s safe to say that Saturn’s shift into the sign, while brief, may be a breath of fresh air. All air sign placements (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) will highly benefit from this transit. With Saturn in your fellow sister sign, it feeds good and highly intellectual energy into your..."⠀ ⠀ 📚Read more via link in bio!⠀ 🎨Loving this dreamy collage by @janevazentz!#jssjuju⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #collageart #magick #ritualistic #ceremonial #horoscopeposts #astrologyposts #sunsigns #wiccansofinstagram #esoteric #jssjuju #esotericinsights #boholife #hippiestuff #witchery #witchesofinstagram #spellcasting #newage #crystalcommunity⁠⠀ #moonmagic #moongoddess #manifestation #witchgirl #spirituality #witchlife #piscesseason #ariesseason #ostara #saturnreturn (at Silver Lake, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Muie9nq63/?igshid=hcemdqnl48jx

🌙What will you offer the moon? What name will you call her by? Luna, Selene, Mother Moon, or maybe one of her associated deities like Isis, Hecate, or Diana?⁠ 🌙 When you call upon our majestic moon for favors and help, be sure to present an offering so there is an energy exchange, this way you don't end up owing anything later! Offerings can be anything sweet and beautiful you feel attracted to at the moment: a rose, candy or honey⁠, coins, crystals etc, or if you are calling on a specific deity, something specific they may like.🌹💎🍬 ⁠.⠀ 🌙Our polished brass offering trays are the perfect dosh for this, or any lunar- based ritual work!

Both Uranus in Taurus and Mars in Capricorn are making positive aspects to one another that will be providing strange and unexpected events. For some, this may turn out to be an option you never imagined possible; for others, it’s a new innovative way to go in life. Regardless, when these two earth sign transits are in synch with one another, they provide physical or financial changes. Those of you open to excitement, and new opportunities will do well. Both the Sun and the Moon also make positive aspects to Mars and Uranus, suggesting a period of meditation, rest, or reflection are necessary to be able to see these helping hands from the cosmos..."⠀ .⠀ 📘This ones juicy! 💦 Read more on our blog, Esoteric Insights, via link in bio!⠀ .⠀ 🎨LOVE this dreamy collage by @janevazentz .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #horoscopeposts #astrologyposts #sunsigns #wiccansofinstagram #paganism #esoteric #jssjuju #esotericinsights #boholife #hippiestuff #witchery #witchesofinstagram #spellcasting #newage #crystalcommunity ⁠#moonmagic #moonwitch #moongoddess #moonphases #manifestation #moonlove #witchgirl #spirituality #witchlife #witchesofig #moonchild #newmoonritual #collageart #newmoonvibes (at Silver Lake, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B84SRbxBQlV/?igshid=6iim7dapwu6p

❤️🐚Mighty Aphrodite 🐚❤️Keeping on the theme of Love for February, we've got a new Deities & Demons article up for you! An exposè on Aphrodite, or Venus, the Goddess of love, beauty, and passion! ❤️🐚 @lvxtenebras shares loads of knowledge about this famous goddess, and ritual tips on how you can honor her and channel her vibes! "Aphrodite is truly a deity of passion in both it’s creative and destructive capacities, and if you know anything about ancient Greek culture, you know that they adored a dramatic Goddess. In fact, the Greeks loved Aphrodite so much that they dedicated a whole festival to her every year known as Aphrodesia. This of course leads us to the word, Aphrodisiac, which is traditionally a food, drink or drug which stimulates sexual desire, but can be just about anything which serves to awaken the sensual appetite, which is essentially Aphrodite’s superpower..."⠀ .⠀ 📘Read more by clicking the link in our bio!

In the highest manifestation, Pisces can be of service with their unconditional love and healing capabilities. Pisces are connected to the higher realms and can feel everything around them, which can cause some confusion. Whether they choose to channel their intuitive knowledge into healing and art or into climbing the corporate ladder; they will need to learn to filter their surroundings.
