* The Magical Mind is the way that magicians, witches and occultists view the reality that they live in.  They do not see the world in the same terms as most other people. Many people view the world in a very three dimensional way there is air, trees, clouds, cars, industries, cities and corporeal beings. 

* One who has achieved the magical mind perceives the world in a totally different way. To the person with the Magical Mind there are many other dimensions to existence. To the magician there are subtle energies that exist in all things, from plants and animals, rocks and soil to colours and scents. All of these seemingly unimportant things to the Mundane Mind as I will call it - are alive with energy and power to the Magical Mind. Colour is no longer just something to consider when painting your house. Colour effects us us psychologically, mentally, physically, spiritually and magically. 

* The Magical Mind knows that a thought is a very powerful thing. It knows that words are powerful things. It knows that what energies it sends out to the universe will invariably effects itself and others. It believes in other planes of existence and that these planes exist in parallel to our own. It believes that entities exist, and sometimes make themselves known. 

* The Magical Mind recognises the Law of Karma and knows what comes around goes around. If a magician sends out negative thoughts, feelings, emotions and spells. These very same energies will come back to them. Likewise positive energies sent out will come back to them.

* The Magical Mind is never egotistical, it never assumes to know everything. It recognises that ego results in suffering. The magical mind is compassionate and caring. Above all the Magical Mind craves knowledge and wisdom. And recognises that it is an ongoing pursuit.

* The Magical Mind realises that life is a learning ground, and that constant study, soul searching and spiritual evolution. Is that ultimate goal of the Magical Mind. It also realises that the circumstances in which it finds itself, and the people that is surrounded by is not sheer coincidence. The Magical Mind sees purpose is the situations it finds itself in. And realises that it is there for the benefit of itself and the others involved.

* The Magical Mind may or may not be Psychic, but the Magical Mind is always at least intuitive. It can read peoples emotions and feels out a situation opposed to logically working out a situation. The magical mind follows its head as much as its heart.

The Magical Mind is a term I use to describe a human being who has the awareness of the subtle energies and cosmic forces that for many mundane minds are unable to perceive. These types of people could include: Healers, Witches, Shamans, Priests, Monks, Medicine men, Cunning folk, Witch Doctors, Druids, Psychics and Clairvoyants.

The magical mind and its abilities also ties in with Perception see also: Natural Witch Perception
