La Vida Magicka: A life in the spirits, Part III

An Online presentation: Please RSVP for connection information sent through Meet-up email

Magical consciousness is not an esoteric state reserved for mystics or sacred spaces. It is already quietly present, woven into the fabric of daily life, waiting in the unnoticed moments when the world tilts slightly and we sense there’s more happening than we can see. Just think: WHY are there so many different words for perception?

Magical consciousness awakens when we begin to notice the spaces between things—the pause between words, the shiver before a storm, the hush as dusk falls. It lives in the thresholds we cross without thought: doorways, dreams, glances, losses, arrivals. These are not just ordinary moments; they are invitations.

In daily life, magical consciousness stirs when we trust our body’s quiet signals, when we recognize a pattern repeating, when we feel that uncanny nudge that says, “Pay attention.” Magical consciousness does not ask us to believe blindly; it asks us to notice. To participate. To remember that we are always in relation with forces both seen and unseen. So how do we begin? Often the way in is through small, subtle questions. These are the moments that open the interior door to the other world that’s running just beneath this one:

Ways In:

• What did I just feel?
• What if this moment means more than it seems?

What if the coincidence wasn’t random? What if I’m being shown something? How do I know this?

Why did I think of that person seconds before they called? Why did I suddenly hesitate? What am I not seeing?

In this moment—this hallway, this meeting, this conversation—what energies, histories, or presences are lingering just outside my usual attention? What might I be missing that I already feel I'm missing?

What is that vague sense of absence I keep brushing against? What part of myself (or the world) is tugging at me to be remembered?

• What is happening at this threshold?

Before I open this door. Before I say yes. Before I leave the house. Is this an ordinary act, or am I crossing into something? Who else is here?

Not just today's people. Presences. Ancestors. Memories. The land itself. Who or what might be watching with me, walking with me, waiting for me to notice?

• What part of my body knows before my mind catches up?

The goosebumps. The tightening belly. The sudden stillness. What signal is being sent through my skin?

This session invites us to begin noticing and naming these subtle experiences—not as superstition or coincidence, but as evidence of the enspirited life humming just beneath the surface. Together, we’ll explore how to cultivate magical consciousness as an active, daily practice and learn how to honor these blinks, thresholds, and quiet magicks as the living pulse of a world still very much awake.
