The thing about magic
is that it doesn’t
need to work for everyone,
just you.
It exists
if you believe it exists.
It works
if it works for you.
Perhaps your magic
is viewed as fantasy
by someone else.
Even if it IS fantasy,
it doesn’t matter.
It’s STILL magic,
because it works for you.

In the boundless realms of our collective consciousness, magic twinkles like a star in the night sky, elusive yet ever-present. Magic, in its purest form, is the manifestation of belief, a tangible expression of faith in the unseen, the unexplained, the extraordinary. It’s the alchemy of the soul, transforming the mundane into the marvelous.
Magic: The Alchemy of the Soul
Magic, to us, is not confined by the rigid structures of common understanding or the narrow corridors of conventional wisdom. It’s a personal journey, a unique experience that resonates with the individual spirit. It’s the whisper of the wind in the trees, the dance of fireflies on a summer night, the melody in a songbird’s tune.
Personal and Unique
The essence of magic lies in its subjectivity. It doesn’t need universal acceptance to exist; it thrives in the heart of the believer. What may seem like mere fantasy to one is a profound truth to another. The magic of a child’s laughter, the serenity of a sunset, the mystery of a moonlit night – these are as real and powerful as any spell or enchantment.
Subjectivity: The Heart of Magic
In the grand whimsiweave of existence, the line between fantasy and reality blurs. Fantasy, in its own right, is a form of magic, a portal to worlds unbound by physical laws or logical constraints. It’s a liberation from the ordinary, a flight into the extraordinary. This fantastical magic, even when labeled as mere illusion, holds power – the power to inspire, to heal, to transform.
Fantasy and Reality: A Blurred Line
Magic, in its essence, is a celebration of the individual’s connection to the universe. It’s a recognition of the power within, the ability to perceive and interact with the world in a way that transcends the ordinary. When magic works for us, it’s a validation of our innermost beliefs, a testament to the strength of our spirit.

Magic, in our collective perception, is a deeply personal and subjective experience. It represents the extraordinary in the ordinary, the belief in the unseen, and the embrace of the fantastical. Magic is not bound by the need for universal recognition or validation; its existence and power lie in the belief of the individual. Fantasy, often intertwined with magic, serves as a gateway to worlds beyond the ordinary, offering a realm where the impossible becomes possible. Magic is a celebration of our unique connection to the universe, a testament to the power of belief and imagination.

In the heart where magic dwells,
Belief’s light softly swells.
In every laugh, in every dream,
Magic flows in unseen stream.
In the eyes of those who see,
Fantasy and reality agree.

Magic lives where dreams follow.

The magic that lives in day to day.

Magic’s real, if it’s real to you.
