Egocentric Intention or Black Magick
Magick becomes 'black' when it is imposed on another being, restraining their free will and the journey of their soul – even when the intentions may seem good and righteous from our perspective. Attempting to heal, influence or change someone without their explicit consent is a form of spiritual violation. It assumes that we know what is best for their path, effectively playing god in their personal universe.
Common examples of this spiritual violation include:
- Making a specific soul fall in LOVE with us.
- Sending harmful energies to someone, coming from anger or other unresolved issues.
- Blocking a business competitor.
- Preventing someone from speaking their truth or acting in a certain way.
- Manipulating the outcome of a council vote or group decision against the members' free will.
These are all clear examples of egocentric magic, where our desires take precedence over the autonomy and journeys of others.
A common example in spiritual circles is wanting to see our friends happy and healthy, so we may send them healing energies even if they haven't asked for it. However, some souls incarnate specifically to face certain challenges or illnesses. It is through this suffering that they discover their deep inner strength, resilience and self-healing abilities. Bypassing this process through uninvited magick robs them of a crucial learning experience, disempowers them, and potentially entangles us in karma.
Instead of directing our energies directly at our friends without asking them first, we can offer support that honours their autonomy:
- We could create an energetic reservoir by imagining a source of healing light, such as a well, a pool, a tree or a crystal, and placing it in their surrounding area. This is not a forced intervention, but a gift made available.
- We can gently and respectfully state our intention – that this energy is available to them, should they choose to draw upon it. This respects their free will.
- We can shift from a specific intention (e.g., 'heal their illness') to a general ritual for their highest and greatest good, trusting their soul and the divine to determine what that looks like.
This approach empowers rather than imposes, transforming a potentially selfish act into a compassionate and respectful offering.
