You know I typed the title with that announcer\/over the top party voice, right?<\/p>\n
Have you ever gotten tipsy and contemplated magick?\u00a0 That’s what I thought.\u00a0 Well, during one of those moments for me I was contemplating leylines, you know, the flow of energy in the planet.\u00a0 Rather like veins of power running through the earth.\u00a0 Mostly thin, sometimes thick, sometimes clustering into a nexus which becomes a place of power.<\/p>\n
Think Stonehenge.\u00a0 Or other old pagan sites.\u00a0 Or really any place where your hair stands on edge just because you set foot into it.\u00a0 Places of power.\u00a0 Places where power congregates.\u00a0 Like a river fed lake where the water pools in one particular place before moving out again.\u00a0 (Thinking of it as having water coming in and out regularly works better as esoteric energy not moving tends to get a bit thick and unwieldly.)<\/p>\n
These veins tend to travel through natural channels for the planet.\u00a0 Like a well established river, they tend not to move around much in their path unless there is cause to do so.\u00a0 And like rivers, they flow, continually.\u00a0 Or perhaps electrical lines would be a better analogy.\u00a0 Regardless, you get the idea.<\/p>\n
So there I am, a tad in my cups (I make mead, after all, so in my cups is a good, tasty, honey-rich thing) and thinking about the natural flow of energy.\u00a0 And then about the flow of energy in my home.<\/p>\n
Leylines in the House!<\/p>\n
C’mon, that time you surely heard it in that special announcey voice?<\/p>\n
Okay, they aren’t leylines in the classical sense, but there are lines, flows of energy in our homes.\u00a0 Feng shui is, to my understanding as I have not studied it at all, in essence dealing with this flow.\u00a0 We are living beings moving repeatedly in spaces that have purpose.\u00a0 This leads to energy build up and energy grooves as in paths the energy likes to take.<\/p>\n
Which leads to interesting thoughts and a way to evaluate, magically speaking, our homes.\u00a0 Where does the energy flow easily in my home?\u00a0 Where does it snag, caught up on shape or form or intention?\u00a0 Are there places that let the energy slip through to easily?\u00a0 If I’m creating defensive magicks, how do I use the setup of my things and my space to create distractions and disruptions for anything attempting to find me and\/or come into my space?<\/p>\n
Where don’t I like to be in my own home?\u00a0 What lingers in that space?\u00a0 Is it an item there or the flow itself that bothers me?<\/p>\n
Can I feel the energy in my own home?<\/p>\n
This is not an idle question.\u00a0 Just like we are the last ones to usually smell our own funk, it can be difficult to feel the energy in our home spaces precisely because they are home and thus, by definition and expectation, we spend a lot of time there.\u00a0 It is utterly and deeply familiar to us and so harder to feel.\u00a0 Yet surely, of all places, this is the energy we want to know best AND it’s the place energy we can most easily effect.<\/p>\n
When we set our belongings in places we create effect, when we clean we create effect, when we move through and use our space we create effect.\u00a0 As in impact on the energy of our homes and how it moves.<\/p>\n
I invite you to also think on that the next time you’re tipsy or even just plain upright and contemplative.\u00a0 Do you know the lines of energy in your own home?\u00a0 How they flow, where they pool, where they are clean and where they are clogged.\u00a0 From that place of knowledge you stand ready to change anything you will to.<\/p>\n
The choice and thus the power is yours.<\/p>\n
