Craft Laws
Our world seems to have very few rules, but after a while you start to understand that it has many far more subtle rules. If you know and understand the more subtle rules of the world then you will not only be able to make changes in it by working magic, but also know better what affect these works will have, and know the best way in which these acts can be done.
Everything has spirit
The foolish believe without question, the wise observe.
Like influences like.
Will controls action.
The stronger will controls the weaker will.
A symbolic act is a real act.
Repetition brings strength.
The breath can convey power.
Not all that is, is seen.
Not all that is seen is real.
Everything has a name, know that name and you have power over it.
Mirrors are gateways to other worlds.
Distance hinders neither our will, nor our vision.
Suggestion has force.
The parts equal the whole.
The eye has the power to change what it sees.
Resonance, words, and rhythm carry will.
Some boundaries protect, others imprison.
Some beings will do your bidding… Most can be made to!
You see different things with different eyes.
All movement in nature is a message.
The dead play their part in this world and theirs.
Enter the Underworld and return transformed.
The bones of this land are not speechless.
Surrender the things of youth without sorrow, for age shall bring deeper wisdom and greater understanding. (2)
Ravemore's Notes 
Wonderful wisdom and love your logo too, big thank you for sharing, sincere regards, Barry
@ Raphael’s Legacy, Thanks Barry… glad you enjoyed your little stroll through my reality.
Fabulous. And fascinating too that the one point that’s gritty for me is that labrys6 identifies as well: making others do my bidding. Though I certainly do that multiple times daily. Hinging my acceptance of that on your promise that you respect how energy works here and that you do unto others as you’d have done unto you — that of course not meaning you give them chocolate ice cream because you like it, when what they like is vanilla. So I’ll go with bending others to my will, but not making. That places the issue back into the arena of strength of will, that place where we each decide if we are going to lead or be led.
@Jennifer, Most have that reaction… so I think you are probably the norm. 🙂 That law has the tendency to be more applicable for those working the darker gray side of the spectrum.
@labrys6, Yes… most success seems to be predicated on the “give and take” concept. I think Benjamin Franklin’s saying “A spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar” applies just as aptly to the spirit world as it does to the material..
I rather like most of those. Thus far, and I’ve been at this a while, those Beings unwilling to do my will? I’ve not had to make them…it seems, for me at least, much more a question of what I ask and what I will promise in return.
