Barbara Leolini – Creative and Visual Storytelling

When you practice Magic, your thoughts, your intelligence, and your will are the instruments of your strength. It is the sensation of the world as power. What I have understood is that Magic comes in many forms. I looked for people who believe in Magic and I asked them what this power is. The answer I found is “mind over matter” - if you firmly believe in something, you will have it. Much of traditional Magic takes place by the light of the moon on hilltops, in forests or in open fields. It happens at night because this is when this world and the other world can meet: it is when we are closer to the unconscious, the hidden. The religion practiced by the believers of Magic is called Witchcraft. The powers used in Witchcraft are utterly unlike any mental powers we could think of. These practitioners are not figures found in fairy tales that can move objects with their minds, but rather physical representations of dignities they worship. Magic is the potential to shape the energy you find out in the world and the people who practice Witchcraft are real. They are what brings Magic to life.
