Magic for Courage

Embrace your Heroic Self

You don't need to rescue damsels and gents to be a hero. Sometimes being a hero is just living in your life. Sometimes a hero is the person needed in that moment. No superpowers, no special gadgets. Just the tools at hand.

Method

I prefer sigils for much of my work. They are stripped down magic. Intent and purpose directed into an object of focus. Choose a word or a phrase to construct your sigil.

Do not

Do not write what you want to be. Repeat what you are.

"I am brave." or even simpler "brave."
"I am in control."
"I am strong."
"Fear does not control me."

Transform

Embrace the positive energy and hope of becoming a stronger and more powerful person. Focus your intent to become what you want to be.

Choose a Symbol

Symbols of who you want to be are helpful. Pick a person who exhibits the kind of courage you wish to embody. This does not have to be a real person. It must be a person you feel a connection with and one who possesses qualities you wish to possess. How you feel about them is the most important aspect.

I favor pop magick so I look to the courage of Batman, Green Arrow, and Batgirl (I like comic book characters). You can choose historical figures like Abraham Lincoln or Alexander Hamilton. You can choose a person in your life, an ancient god, or a hero.

Why?

My subjects are always dictated by what's on my mind. I'm trying to effect change within myself and my life. I'm working through my fears extinguish them one by one. Nothing holds us back more than ourselves. My advice: Put up a fight.
