How can I help my daughter with her untapped magic?

Question

I wont go into all the details why I think so, but I have several reasons to believe she has spiritual magic in her head and would like to help her learn how to use it in a positive way. Any Pagans out there want to give me some leads, or book titles on how to help her? She is still very young and could really benefit with training.

Answer 1

Personally, I do not believe in magic (or magick, or any other spelling).

That aside, the way to help any person reach their potential in any exercise is to practice and not push. Have the person want to do it, help them by being supportive, teach by example, and encourage.

I do not believe, but I also do not judge.

Answer 2

Please note that I'm Wiccan and not trying to dissuade you, but if she's very young you shouldn't push her into any pagan paths. There are many pagan faiths that believe children should not be involved in training until they've reached a certain age. And while you may think she has a lot of innate spiritual magick, she may not wish to follow that path.

When she's older - in her teens - I'd say looking into books by Silver Ravenwolf, IF she's interested. Llewellyn has a great series of books on different paths of magick. But not until she's older.

Answer 3

Right now I would go with mild guidance instead of training. If she shows an affinity for plant magic get her one of those small her garden kits. Take her to a metaphysical shop and let her pick out some stones or crystals - then go over the meanings and what she feels from them. I don't know of any books that would be good for pre-teens but i do have a book of crafts - "Witch Crafts", by Willow Polson, that have a lot of different craft projects - maybe you could do some of those with her and explain some of the meanings behind the symbols and such while you are at it. About the only firm guidline I would start teaching her is what you send out will come back - the golden rule.

Answer 4

First you must learn to let go of the delusion that magic exists. The real world is a much more fascinating place than the world of magic, make believe and fairy tales.

Second you must not pass on these delusions to another generation. The worst crime a parent can commit on a child is to pass on a delusional belief system, whether it is christianity, islam or "magic powers"

Third, if you continue to live under these delusions of magical powers then you could apply for the $1,000,000 prize offered by the James Randi Educational Foundation for anyone that can demonstrate paranormal abilities under controlled conditions.

Answer 5

The Bible is singularly different from the writings of other ancient people in that its references to uncanny powers and magical arts are all condemnatory. Nowhere does it recommend “white” magic to cancel spells of “black” magic. Rather, it urges faith, prayer, and trust in Jehovah as the protection against unseen “wicked spirit forces” and all their related activities, including magical influences. (Eph 6:11-18) In the Psalms the righteous pray for deliverance from evil; Jesus taught us to pray for deliverance “from the wicked one.” (Mt 6:13)

The nation of Israel was, therefore, unlike its contemporaries in this respect, and in order that it might remain so, Jehovah gave his people some very explicit laws concerning those who were intimate with the occult powers. “You must not preserve a sorceress alive.” (Ex 22:18) “You must not practice magic.” “As for a man or woman in whom there proves to be a mediumistic spirit or spirit of prediction, they should be put to death without fail.” (Le 19:26; 20:27) “There should not be found in you . . . a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium.”—De 18:10-14.

Answer 6

that's now common for a 12 year previous to start to question ideals surrounding God, religon and to be attracted to substitute religons....and in all honesty, Satanism is seen a religon. yet another poster became precise...Satanism isn't "magic". in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, her guidance seems jumbled. My advice would be to take her to the library and inspect books on Satanism...Crowley (would be unable to remember his first call) wrote countless that are seen definitive. on the comparable time, motivate her to learn out books on different religons she would possibly no longer have encounted...Buddhism, Hindu, Wicca, Islam. that's a very remarkable risk to motivate her to learn greater with reference to the folk round her, besides as giving her the possibility to verify that many effortless threads are modern-day in many, seeming disparate religons. it may additionally help her locate the thank you to make God greater "actual". and finally, i'd evaluate if there has been a significant replace in her existence recently..a circulate, dying, divorce, even a combat with a chum..that would join what is going on. maximum persons have, at one time or yet another, questioned why God shall we undesirable issues ensue now and lower back. the main right it is to be in touch in regardless of analyze and analyzing she does. confirm she is getting stable guidance, bypass over it together with her to make sparkling something she would possibly no longer understand and inspire her to communicate with you approximately why she would desire one decision over yet another. Be open approximately your very own ideals..the undesirable and the stable...and enable her understand approximately cases you have been at a loss for words besides. there is not any thank you to understand what she would do with each and all the guidance, yet you will understand what she does and be in a greater physically powerful place to help her, no remember what.

Answer 7

I think you should let her find her own way. If she does have a power, you won't be able to coax it out of her. Just let her be aware of it and find it on her own.
I am psychic and I never needed any help finding that out. I just 'knew' and I've been able to train myself by finding the resources. I don't know any book titles, but there are some good websites out there if you just look it up.
You might try looking up the characteristcs of Crystal Children; I have reason to believe my little brother is one.

Best of luck!

Answer 8

Well, for one thing, you can stop telling her fairytales. There's no such thing as magic. Really. Seriously. Nothing has ever proved me wrong on this. Why do you think your daughter is magical? Is it possible she's tricking you, or you're deluding yourself?

Edit: RedMage, what if someone with obvious, serious mental problems came on here asking how to get rid of demons? Should we leave it up to the exocists to fuel their delusions? No, we should try to help. This women is obviously confused, and probably needs help.

Answer 9

If she really does have untapped magick (as I did), it will not become conscious to her until she turns 8 years old. She will probably recognize it on her own, but will be very confused. Let her go her own way--just be aware that if she asks questions, feel free to answer her. If she wants to be trained, train her. If she does not wish to be trained, leave her be. Ultimately, as the latent abilities are hers, it is up to her to do what she wishes with them.

Answer 10

She does not have magical powers.(no one does) If you raise her believing that she does, she is going to tell people at school that she has powers and when she can't produce magic, she will be the laughing stock of school.
