Huzzah! Got a mail from City of Sunnyvale today to go in for the written (how odd - the posting said oral, which I assumed was a fancy silly phrase for "interview") test on the evening of Thursday the 14th. I wonder what the heck they are going to test me on for three hours? The Fremont Union High School district tested me on English spelling and punctuation, arithmetic, and typing speed, but that was for a registrar's position, and all of it only took about an hour. I better brush up on my Dewey Decimal System. I should probably also hie me to the library and re-learn exactly where all of the various collections are located. I haven't used it regularly since I was in high school.

I'm very amused now that both of these (this and the call from Judy yesterday) followed so swiftly on yesterday's bit o' magic. And crikey, it wasn't even so much as a candle spell or anything - just a few moments of reaching out and pulling (for lack of a better term). Wack, yo.

And you say you haven't seen any effects of the mfkzt. Magick getting mighty easier mighty quick is one of the (more subtle?) effects. Because the mfkzt is a superconductor, a little "reach out and pull" is all you need. It's the only way I do magick any more. I don't need all the candles and tools and incense and other hoohah any more.

Hmm, perhaps true. Although I should mention that this is the kind of magic I've mostly been doing for some years now. It's pretty rare that I break out the toys. I use them for devotional ritual and for getting in contact with the Otherworld and like that, but willworking is generally a pure act of its own. I have no idea when the last time was that I cast a circle *laugh*.

But the problem, or difference, is actually working myself up to the combination of need and confidence which catalyzes the reaction. I say that "without props" is mostly what I've been doing and that's true in a sense, but only rarely has anything actually gotten accomplished. I can only think of another couple of examples within the past ten years, say.

That's all it takes, silly girl.

Yes, I know - as I said to ahril, this has been my usual style of magic (as opposed to devotional ritual, which is something else again) for quite some time now, and the case where I break out the "toys" for willwork is rare indeed. But somehow something took me by surprise about this one.
