Required Elements of Magick

We have posted about couple rituals we have done recently, but as mentioned before elaborate ritual is not necessary to successful practical magick, although it is often helpful.

Three elements are required for successful magick, those elements are:

Intention
Will
Gnosis

Intention refers to making a clear and unequivocal statement about what it is one is hoping to accomplish with the magick.

Will refers to putting the force of individual imagination, emotion, and intellect into the magick.

Gnosis refers to reaching a transcendent state of spiritual bliss and knowledge.

Magick needs these three elements to succeed but nothing beyond them. Empty hand magick can and does work for many people. Rituals are important however because they serve to focus our will on our intention and create a magickal atmosphere in which it is easier to let go so that we may enter a state of gnosis.
