Invisible string magic refers to the concept of using invisible strings to create illusions, tricks, and magic effects. This technique is commonly used by magicians and illusionists to create the appearance of objects floating or moving seemingly on their own. The invisible string used in such tricks is usually made from a thin, transparent material such as nylon or fishing line. The string itself is nearly invisible to the naked eye, making it ideal for creating illusions where objects appear to levitate or move magically. One of the most common uses of invisible string magic is the floating or levitating object trick. In this illusion, the magician attaches one end of the invisible string to an object, such as a card or a small ball, and the other end is hidden or attached to a fixed point, such as the magician's clothing or a nearby surface.
Merry meet, and merry part, and merry meet again!
Seeing all three is a great way to see, in action, the way that the different approaches play out in their lives without the show being overly or overtly preachy about it. Meanwhile, you can read my other witchy books, follow my blog, take my workshops, subscribe to my Spellsletter, attend my ritual shows, and connect with my community on social media or in Poetry Witch Community, for all who identify as women.
In this illusion, the magician attaches one end of the invisible string to an object, such as a card or a small ball, and the other end is hidden or attached to a fixed point, such as the magician's clothing or a nearby surface. By carefully manipulating the string, the magician can make the object appear to float or move in a controlled manner. Another popular application of invisible string magic is the puppetry effect.
Are You a Good Witch or a Bad Witch? (FAQ)
The word "witch" is loaded with connotations, misunderstandings, and anxieties for many people, and since I started using it in public about a decade ago, I have gotten a lot of questions about it. Here are some of the most common.
Why do you call yourself the poetry witch?
I am a spiritual poet whose spirituality is grounded in the earth and in female power. My primary magickal tools are skill in the craft of shaping words into talismans, charms, and spells, and a calling to perform my words in ritual and for healing.
Are you a witch in real life too?
Yes. I was born on Halloween and have always felt connected spiritually to the earth and to other realities. Since I met my first witch in 1990, I have consciously studied and practiced earth-centered witchcraft alone and with others, using herbs, crystals, symbols, colors, and divination tools in addition to my poetry witch tools of words, chanting, movement, and ritual.
The word "witch" will turn people off. Why not use another word?
I am aware of this, which is why I waited 20 years and considered numerous alternative words before coming out of the broom closet in my 2010 blog American Witch. I made my decision because no other word embodies the combination of reclaimed feminine energy, magic, and power that I needed to express. Since then, I've noticed that a new generation of feminist witches has been making the same choice, and for similar reasons.
Are you a Wiccan?
No, not really. I did start out as a Wiccan, but I find that tradition is too limited, too prescriptive, and too sexist in its roots. I now consider myself a practitioner of folk witchcraft, a broader category that links my beliefs and practices with those of witches across many centuries and continents.
What are those beliefs and practices?
As a witch, I find sacred meaning in the cycles of life and death and the seasons. I believe everything in nature has a spiritual aspect, including our bodies. I like to use spells and ceremonies, some formal and some spontaneous, to shape my own growth and support those I love. I do my best to follow the Witches' Creed: “If it harms no-one, do what you will.”
Do you make curses?
No. All my spells and magick have the intention for the highest good of all. Sometimes this may involve "binding" someone from doing harm, but only after I have cleared out personal anger. Magic for me is like prayer, and I would never use it out of anger or violence.
Can men be witches too?
Yes. My personal acronym for W.I.T.C.H. is “Women in Touch Coming Home," because I feel witchcraft is connected intimately with feminism and matriculture and has crucial gifts to offer those of us who identify as women. But I also know several male witches, and today’s witchcraft can help bring us home, no matter what our gender, to honor the Divine Feminine inside and around us.
Are you part of a coven?
I have been part of many wonderful women's circles and covens (the difference is that the circles provide spiritual support, while the covens actively make magic together). Right now, my primary spiritual community is my online home Poetry Witch Community, open to all who identify as women, at poetrywitch.com. I also consider the people who participate in my Magic of Rhythmically Writing retreats and workshops, and who attend my readings and poetry witch ritual performances, to be part of my spiritual community.
How can I learn more?
I am currently finishing two books that if all goes well will be published soon and will fully share the fruits of my lifelong witchly journey. Meanwhile, you can read my other witchy books, follow my blog, take my workshops, subscribe to my Spellsletter, attend my ritual shows, and connect with my community on social media (or in Poetry Witch Community, for all who identify as women). And you can check out other witches: I'd recommend Starhawk and any of the younger generation of witches interviewed on Pam Grossman's podcast, The Witch Wave.
Merry meet, and merry part, and merry meet again!
What are those beliefs and practices?
In puppetry, the magician uses invisible strings to control the movement of small objects, such as puppets or dolls. By attaching the strings to different parts of the object and manipulating them, the magician can make the object seem to come to life and perform various actions. Invisible string magic requires careful practice and coordination to create convincing illusions. Magicians must master the art of manipulating the strings in a way that is not noticeable to the audience. This involves precise control over the tension and movement of the strings to create the desired effect without revealing the trick. Although invisible string magic can create stunning and seemingly impossible illusions, it is important to remember that it is just a trick. The strings and the magician's skillful manipulation of them are what create the illusion of magic. Understanding the science and art behind these tricks can help us appreciate the ingenuity and craftsmanship that go into creating these magical experiences..
