Hmmm...I got spit to shine my shoes and arms with which to churn butter....all things natural, where there's a will there's a way. no doubt?  Ritual is really techniques we use to put ourselves into a particular frame of mind and to focus our intent. It helps us to link with our Higher Mind, connect to the Source, become aware of and work directly with the Divine....on a conscious and purposeful level.  Therefore, visualization --just as with many other methods and various 'props'---is a very useful tool in manifesting desire. And that's basically what we're talking about when we refer to magick, prayer, and the like. As with any tool, some may appeal more to or be better suited for someone else. There are so many ways to accomplish a magickal task, it really comes down to personal experimentation and a resonating feel for the individual with respect to each method applied for a particular purpose or goal. This is the view I prefer to take  Hope it helps.  BB, ~Lisa~

Well....in that case I stand totally corrected...lol  

But, I have a pretty good size chunk of Earth here in the Mountains, (Florida developers have been after it for the last few years) I have a cousin who is a dairy farmer. I am willing to wager my land against your spit shined shoes (which I am sure glisten like polished oynx),  that you can not churn butter with your arms and visualization alone.

Just like you can not call upon the universe to recognise a waxing moon under a waning moon just because you visualize it...there are limits to life. Limits that must be understood and worked with.

One of the biggest problems I have with modern Wicca, is that everything is ok, as long as you "visualise" it so.....what a lazy immediate approach.....with useless results.

But then again it is rude not to recognise to each thier own.

What do you say? You want to churn your shoes where your fingers are?
