Old Magic in Everyday Life Quotes

“The idea of magic being something that is separate from everyday life – known to the magicians but not the ordinary people – still slows down our recognition that it is here, now, of the Earth and Universe, all around us, and perhaps most essentially, in us.”
― Mhairi Simon, Old Magic in Everyday Life

“Magic is difficult to describe, to understand and to come to terms with and many people don’t want to feel different or unusual.”
― Mhairi Simon, Old Magic in Everyday Life

“If magic is energy, then using it is about guiding it's flow rather than possessing it and squirreling it away. Some people seem to me to approach magic as though adding spells and charms and even gurus to their museum – sometimes a secret museum. My worry is that this leaves you weighed down with exhibits too precious to use or to let go of when you need to move on.”
― Mhairi Simon, Old Magic in Everyday Life
