The Magic Scripture

Greetings again,        !

I’m sure you’re excited for what’s to come – I have to admit that I’m excited to! If my instincts are correct (and I believe them to be), you could have a deep connection to the mystical world.

It’s not just anyone who has the capability to perform and understand magic – it’s something passed down through families in most cases. In some cases, prodigies are born and in others, those with the gift aren’t aware of it, so never end up making use of their incredible potential.

Wen we first spoke, I sensed something was special about you and in our interactions since, the feeling has only gotten stronger. I asked you before: do you remember maybe an event from your childhood that speaks to this? Do you have a relative with these abilities, or perhaps an old family story? I suspect you do, even if you can’t recall right away. This is why I wanted to offer you The Magic Scripture, something I only offer to those I feel have the abilities. This will help determine whether or not you have the gift of magic – perhaps you too can be a magus. 

Think about these questions and be honest about your answers:

1. When you walk into a room, can you feel an emotional impression?

Many mage’s experience the sensation of coming into a room after an argument has taken place, and feel the negative energy left behind. Consider if you’ve ever “felt” the energy of a room, whether negative or positive, upon stepping inside.

2. Are you able to intuit when a loved one or close friend is feeling angry, depressed, happy?

Without speaking a word, sometimes it’s clear when a friend is feeling a powerful emotion. Do you often pick up on unspoken emotions, even subtle ones, that your friend or loved one has made efforts to hide?

3. Do you ever feel as though you’re not alone, or being watched, when you are by yourself?

A mage can often feel the presence of spirits and other immaterial creatures. Think of experiences where you felt as though someone was there with you, a stranger or a friend, only to discover you were completely alone.

4. Do you usually remember the details of your dreams? Do you dream in color?

Our connection to the mystical world often manifests within our dreams, and often quite vividly. Have you ever had serial dreams, shared dreams or simply remember in detail most of your dreams? Can you recall smells or sensations?

5. After a loved one has passed, have you caught the scent of their perfume lingering in places they’ve never been?

Even in our grieving processes, it can be difficult to lose a loved one. Many mages report that even years after their loss, they can smell a familiar cologne, or food smell strongly associated with their loved one.

6. What is your connection to animals? Do they warm up to you, often against their nature?

Animals are sensitive to the magical world, and sensitive to those with the gifts. Do you find that animals often described as “shy” or “standoffish” simply seem to approach you without trouble?

7. Have you ever felt that something was going to happen, only to see it come true?

While a rarer power even within the realms of the mystical, some mage’s report unknowingly predicting the future on a regular basis. Perhaps you had a bad feeling and left an area, only to find something terrible happened there later on. Maybe you’ve always had a higherability to intuit the outcome of actions.

8. Have you ever met a stranger and suddenly felt like you’ve known them their whole life?

There’s a phrase among us for this sensation: “it’s as though we were best friends in a previous life”. That might not be too far off the mark. Have you ever connected to someone so quickly that you went from strangers to chatting like friends in mere moments? This could be a sign.

9. Are you often emotionally exhausted at the end of the day, even when you’ve not overworked yourself?

Sometimes, even on quiet days with little to do, you may find yourself feeling drained. This can be a sign that your energy, untrained as it is, has “leaked” or been burned up, even if you don’t know why.

10. Do you feel a deeper compassion for all living things?

Have you ever felt sorry for a worm on a drying sidewalk? Do you feel a connection to creatures, big and small? Compassion is a core tenet of magi, and one felt more deeply than by most.

If you found yourself agreeing with more of these questions than disagreeing, than I am correct. You could be a magus, with the potential to do incredible things! Even if these questions left you feeling uncertain, it’s important to think about them more: I know I sense something, but it may require some introspection to figure out just what it is.

I hope you have discovered something valuable here today and I feel that we’ll be in contact again,        . I think our friendship has only just begun.

Go in peace,
