Meditations
Believe it or not meditating on the Tarot will have a profound effect on your life for the better. For those of you have never meditated before here are a few guidelines before you begin (those of you who are already familiar with meditation can just scroll down to the exercises):
1. Try to set aside a space of ten to twenty minutes every day at the same time or at least the same part of the day. If you are really too busy then the minimum amount of time that will work is ten to twenty minutes twice a week. Don't cut down the amount of time of each session however as it is hard to be effective in less than the recommended time. Throughout the two weeks alternate between the two meditation exercises. Don't be discouraged if your first efforts feel clumsy and forced, practice makes perfect and when it is time for the next lesson you will have begun to master them.
2. Try to find a space where you won't be disturbed and somewhere that is warm and comfortable. For some of you this may mean negotiating with your family. Remember that you are entitled to some time for yourself.
3. Leave the phone off the hook.
4. Meditating either lying or sitting down is fine. Don't try to meditate lying down late at night though as you may find yourself nodding off.
5. Wear comfortable clothing if possible. At least loosen belts and ties or undo the top button of your jeans.
6. Soft light is best for meditation so turn the main light off and use a lamp or preferably a candle.
7. Some people find relaxing music helps induce a meditative state whilst others find it too much of a distraction. Experimentation will help you create the right ambience.
8. Breathing patterns are an easy way of calming and relaxing oneself. Don't be tempted to skip the breathing part of a meditation. Once visualising images don't stress if you are not following the pattern any more. Just concentrate on the mind's view.
9. Magicka School strongly recommends keeping a journal in which to record your experiences and impressions that you receive. This will be not only a record of your growth but a record of what works for you.
10. Read through the meditation a couple of times before you begin so that you know what to be meditating on.

Hey i used to study Wicca too, and found that meditation was really useful in helping to put me on the right tracks in life, Its great youre sharing the method, although i found my Peice to be in Anglo Saxon Heathenism, but i still practice Wiccacraft. Thanks for putting this up, its a slightly different way to how i did it so is nice to see another slant.
