The Energy of Magick

Many blogs, books, and posts on magick discuss the need to generate and direct energy. The meaning of “energy” is often left undefined, and one of the things non-magickal people often ask me is, “What do you mean by energy?” It is the same thing that any physicist means: energy is the ability to do work. There are two broad categories of energy, potential (stored) energy and kinetic (active) energy. For magick to work, every ritual or spell needs an influx of magickal energy. Without the change in consciousness and influx of energy, magick is unsuccessful and is nothing more than recitation of words and performing a ritual.

As well as discussing the need to generate and direct energy, numerous sources on magick discuss about ways to raise the energy. You can spin in a circle until you get dizzy, dance, do deep breathing, or perform visualizations. Some even mention that you can raise energy with sex.

When I use the term “sex,” I am including far more than physically intimate acts. When you first look into the eyes of another person and feel “like your heart has skipped a beat,” that’s sex. The flirting that goes on between people is sex, even if it doesn’t lead to physical passion. Sex is not just about physical activity. It is the exchange of energy between two entities. Sex magick uses this energy to obtain desires.

Sex energy can be raised by just thinking about another person or entity. It can be raised by watching or thinking about others or yourself having sex. In other words, the energy of sexuality isn’t just from the body; it’s created and directed by the mind. Sex energy is powerful, too. Right now, like an enormous battery, the sex energy is stored within you just waiting to be used. Sex magick allows you to increase the power of your inner battery and safely direct the energy, like the massive charge of a Tesla coil, in order to achieve your magickal goals.
