Why Magick Works

I am often posed the question by "onceborns" (non-magickal people), "How do witchcraft and magick work?". I always give them the same answer. When you are performing magick, you are working with the elements. Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Spirit. These elements are the most basic building blocks that make up everything in the Universe. 
 

The same elements can be found everywhere you go. From red giants to distant planets, from nebulas to black holes. It's all stardust and it all contains the same elements of life, only in different forms. The Divine is made up of it and so are we. We are part of the Divine and thus inherently connected to it. Therefore elements are also part of us as they are a part of comets, the rain, hurricanes, oceans, volcanoes and all things. They all command elements within themselves.

We are of the same essence as them, with our consciousness on our side to command and envoke them. This is why magick works.
