How To See The Magic In Every Moment: Enchantment
Hello beautiful beings! Today, I’m going to talk to you about the importance of choosing enchantment in the Crystallization Culture Method.
What is Enchantment in Magick?
Enchantment is our love affair with reality, it’s what puts miraculous possibilities into our experience. It’s choosing eyes that see the sparkle, the cosmic star vision of shifting forms, allowing for a world of magical potential and infinite possibilities.
In esoteric tantra you view the world as the divine beloved and are in a courtship dance with the world to enter in to union with all of reality. In enchantment you bring those same eyes of love to view the whole of reality with enchantment and gratitude creating space within your perception for mystical experience to occur.
How to enchant your attention with more meaning
To become enchanted we need to become meta-aware of attention by attending to attention itself. This is the movement of meaning as a force of gravity in our lives. In fact the Crystallization Culture Method views it as exactly one movement occurring together and calls it ‘meaning gravity’, as meaning and gravity are one thing functioning by the same principles. Having more meaning esoterically is identical to having more mass physically. Space and time start to redistribute themselves around the increased meaning and things are pulled into the meaning gravity vortex created by your attention.
How can I reclaim my magic?
Most of us need to engage in a process of rewilding our attention. Attention is a commodity which has been conditioned since birth by family, society, and especially schooling. It has installed software that teaches us to ignore the complexity, beauty, and magic which are all around us all the time. This conditioning is separation from the present moment and our attention needs to be liberated into more nimble, free, and mystical ways of seeing.
In the beginning enchantment is a deliberate process of allowing magical meaning to bubble up in your attention. To soften your focus on the magic eye picture of your experience and allow the secret images you were deliberately taught to ignore to emerge. This is recognizing that there are no coincidences and that the universe speaks in a language of symbol and synchronicity. Becoming a student of that language allows it to move you in the heart.
“Energy flows where attention goes.” In deconditioning your attention and choosing enchantment you are deliberately moving attention from mundane and expected understandings into the mythic and mystical perceptions you are wanting to experience.
Practical steps to see magic in everyday life?
Remember how I called enchantment a love affair with reality? When magic is our lover we have to court them. Like any partner they thrive on our attention, love to be noticed, to be spoken to, to be spoken of, to receive our love letters. When we show up for magic this way, magic starts to show up for us in concrete ways as well.
This is why so many practitioners keep a journal, grimoire, diary, or ‘book of shadows’. It’s part of writing the love letters of our magic into the fabric of reality, it’s noticing magic so she glows for us, but in a way that doesn’t invite the disapproving attention and energy of others.
When we practice enchantment well, it becomes a transformative experience. Our world changes as we embrace a different lens to view reality, one filled with wonder and deeper connections. We learn to see synchronicities not as coincidences but as meaningful signs guiding us on our path. Our daily routines become imbued with a sense of the sacred, as mundane tasks turn into rituals that honor the magical in the ordinary. We begin to perceive the interconnectedness of all things, feeling a profound sense of unity with the universe. This shift in perspective is not just about seeing the world differently; it’s about living differently, with a heart open to awe and a mind receptive to the whispers of the mystical.
Staying magic around others
Navigating enchantment also involves understanding the dynamics of our relationships. Until you find people who resonate with your frequency at a soul level you are surrounded by people who want to keep you participating in their world as they understand it. They will try to pop your magic bubble and reject your play of enchantment. With love for them, we want to forgive them and accept them as we are. With love for ourselves we want to create gentle boundaries that keep the meaning gravity of their disbelief from exerting influence on our newly blossoming attention engine of enchantment, at least not until our experience is robust enough to withstand the interference.
This is the point where many people take time for separation and withdraw from the mundane world. Separation takes space from old relationships, habits, routines, ways of being and even employment. It can take a limited form like going on a retreat or an extended form like taking some time off from being in contact with someone we have a relationship with, like our parents. In this phase what we are separating from is not actually the other, but the old self- our habits and relationships are often based on assumptions outside the present moment. Interacting with these old patterns and reminders activates conditioning, serving to draw people back into their prior way of being. Periodic separation empowers the new way of being to grow without interference nurtured in the enchanted field of attention it requires.
Magick as a way of being
In essence, enchantment is the art of beholding the world with a renewed sense of wonder and mystical insight. It is a journey of reawakening to the extraordinary that resides within the ordinary, a process of re-enchanting our perception to witness the magical in every moment. For Bodhisattva Magicians, the path of enchantment invites us to engage deeply with the world, to see it as a living, breathing tapestry of interconnected stories, symbols, and possibilities. It brings us into the fabrication play, the leela, of the universe, and draws us into an animist reality where all forms are rightfully given their full emergent beingness and agency in the body of the all that is as expressions of source energy. As we cultivate this enchanted perspective, our lives become rich with meaning, synchronicity, and a profound sense of connection to the larger cosmic dance. Enchantment, thus, is not just a practice but a way of being, a transformative lens through which we experience the world, ourselves, and our place within the great unfolding mystery. In embracing this magical way of seeing, we open ourselves to a life imbued with depth, beauty, and a deep-seated harmony with the pulse of the universe.
Emptiness & Enchantment
It’s essential that we relate to our fabricated and enchanted moment as empty, as this gives us the flexibility to transform it into any form without attachment. Find out about how emptiness is the secret key to manifestation by reading our article ✨
