I was born in Cuba and grew up with an intimate understanding of Santeria, a magical practice that originated in Africa. Today in Cuba it is known as Lucumi. The people who prac tice Lucumi are known as Santeros, and are compe tent herbal and spiritual advisers. My father is a Santero, and thanks to his tca~hinEi5 I am awar~ of a world that holds secrets and mysteries at every turn. Over the years I have used magic during desperate times and always had positive results. What is magic? It is difficult to define magic. Con trary to popular belief, it is not supematural. Magic is the use of natural energies and positive visualization to create change in our lives. Each of us is magical simply because we are sur rounded by energy. With this energy we have the power to bring good into our lives, or we can use it to attract negativity. The latter is destructive magic, and I want to make it clear from the outset that we should never \vish unto others anything we would not \vish unto ourselves. The Earth is full of living, vibrating natural wonders, and by utilizing its energies we can create magic. Why not do it the positive way? Magic can be used in daily life to help with the visualization of our needs. A positive thought can be projected into the universe and become a beautiful aid for psychological transformation. Take prayer, for I • example. Prayer is a popular form of magic. It is energy sent out to the universe in a positive manner, and over time it is reflected back. Many dreams and desires have been fulfilled through prayer. When performing magic we never have the right to take something that is not ours for the taking. For example, to break up an existing relationship for per sonal gain is destructive. If you want to perform this type of magic, know that you will have to live with the thought that this person never really loved you because you manipulated the love. Magic performed in this way never brings lasting happiness. What is a spell? A spell is the use of natural prod ucts to help us manifest our immediate needs. So what is a white spell? A white spell helps us manifest our needs in a positive, unselfish manner and with a clean conscience. Above all, a white spell never harms or manipulates others to do our will out of jealousy, spite, or anger.
