I gain mana mainly by recycling, I make a sigil, or at least an intention, and then i charge it by collecting plastic bags and litter and recycling it, in this way I gain mana, and can cast a spell, when I cast I enter into deep meditation and I see the reality of what I have done, by working with the debris and giving it new life I have refined it once more and restored something that would have gone to waste, in many ways this act in itself it magic and it has significance outside as well as within, on a spiritual level, I come back to the same thing again and again but it becomes new, I realize though at first it seemed limited and finite, its actually unlimited and its going through cycles, the process I play in recycling, and cleansing the forest to the greater good of nature, on all sides, is actually one of the strongest living shamanisms we have today, and have always had, recycling has always existed, in some form or the other.
There are ways to recycling anything to refine it, everything must be recycled differently, in the end nirvana is attained, and all things autonomously self liberate, i.e. self-recycle, this is the pure original state of nature and the state of optimal health, everything always changes they say, but nothing escapes this cycle, nothing is eternal, except for change itself.
I feel the metaphor of physically recycling is a good grounding action for my magical practice (in this case wantism) to be focused around, because it allows for much realization into the true nature of the world on a practical level, but it also connects to many integral parts of the pagan spirituality, reincarnation, karma, taoism, understanding over time, and the passage of energy through the seasons, it can translate through many paradigms and worlds., and because it stimulates the health of nature and natural holistic consciousness it also opens the way for everyones magic to work better and manifest more clearly, less confusion, clearer understanding, less dependence of words more on transmission or saiyazen of pure spirit, chi from nature, less of a duality between self and nature, among the comingled elements etc.
all of the elements have properties of recycling
water, is recycling in the rain constantly
air is recycling in the breathe of all life
fire recycles and brings us back to one of the most simplest states carbon
earth recycles and constantly eats itself to be renewed, old bodies break down and become new soil for new plants
which are nurtured by the other elements
spirit comes back again and again because the whole thing is just so amazing, with its wonder and ecstasy, all is animated
the better your karma is, the more wise your intentions are, the better your magic will work because it will be aligned with the greater good, so its united and less manipulative, the worse your karma is, the worse your magic will work and it only distracts you from true healing and tears you from the path, into delusion, but its always possible to return, the highest magic exists on a plane that is free from desire, it is pure energy, this is the intent of most sorcerers to achieve and the dwelling place of the wise, on less comprehensive realms still affected by ignorance everything is split and so magicians try to bring it together through intentions, though sometimes they are tricked by the force and accidentally feed those splits by playing into selfish desires which actually only split them more… its kind of a difficult process to understand but overtime you get an intuitive feel for it, and you really just sit back and let the magic happen, as your spirit takes you further and further into oneness of true perception
