But I Am Curious Of What That Actually Entails? Like, I Dont Expect That Many Of Those Who Say They Can

But I am curious of what that actually entails? Like, I don’t expect that many of those who say they can ‘physically’ transform undergo a spontaneous magical transformation sequence that others can witness. Rather, I think any magical hero can use costumes, tools, theater techniques, or even glamours to undergo a transformation that they can employ at any time. Maybe I’m just not understanding the need for distinction.

But it could also be that I’m just approaching things from a different perspective, since I personally do not subscribe to ‘the law of attraction’ and the movement(s) that followed from that idea. I can admit that it is difficult sometimes to discuss these kinds of practices while coming from different paradigms.

This is not to say that I am belittling anyone who works with these kinds of manifestation and affirmation techniques; I think they can be helpful and if it works for you, that’s great! I do believe there are other ways to manifest change, however.

Can someone explain to me the actual difference between ‘physical’ and ‘astral’ magical heroes? Most of the folks that I have come across that label themselves ‘physical’ heroes don’t really seem to have a practice rooted in or working in this reality? They seem to still rely heavily on astral work and reality shifting.

For example, I suppose you can argue that my approach is ‘physical’ since I have an established magical practice utilizing tools and techniques that are tangible in the here and now (not that they couldn’t also be used out of the current timeline or on the astral) and I work to better our current and shared reality. I don’t really assert that the ‘physical’ or ‘astral’ distinction has to be made but if people feel that they need to use those labels, I think the community has to do a better job explaining the difference in approaches.

I’m only going to do this once since I felt like it was clear that I didn’t want anything to escalate by leaving Magi Metro and I figured that you and your community wanted nothing to do with me. I was upfront from the beginning that I was going to keep interaction to a minimum and I am completely content to continue blogging as I would have before being introduced to your circle. I have done nothing but provide my experience and my insight and I am honestly at a loss at figuring what I could have done that made such an impact.

I asked the Tumblr community for clarification on something (all the while noting that I was not disparaging anyone’s practices) and even though I never really got a sincere answer, I was met with animosity from you and I suppose those you felt the need to vent to.

I can see that’s where a lot of the conversations have started in recent years, but I think asserting that this where folks need to remain does a disservice to those who have been working along these lines for many years and are seeking community as well as for those who are trying to improve upon their practice.

To say any approach is less than or less authentic than the other, I feel, is unnecessary gatekeeping. I’m a real magical kid, one that did not manifest that identity but was rather called to it from forces I cannot fully explain or comprehend and have worked to maintain that calling. Do I draw from media for inspiration? Sure! But I think everyone who feels compelled to work in this vein does. Whether that inspiration shows itself in a concept or scripting, in a pop culture-inspired magic practice, or something else entirely, I think there is space for all of us to work and share ideas. ☆

u said in ur post u didn't get a sincere answer, did u mean answer to what physical magical girls are? i can try explaining if you felt their explanation didn't help, if you're okay with that /genuine

Thank you for the message! ☆

Yes, I was referring to what it means when folks say that physical magical girls have been able to manifest transforming physically and what that actually entails besides the process of getting there (i.e. working with the Laws of Assumption and Attraction). If you feel like you have something to share along those lines, I think people would love to hear it. I know I’d certainly be interested!

While I did get some more background on the community from the subsequent posts, it didn’t really elucidate what I was originally asking about. I’m not sure how a genuine question got interpreted as a dig on anyone or their practice but if people saw it that way, I sincerely apologize. My only intention here is to document my processes and learn more about what others are doing.
