Magic has no borders. It flows freely through the world, unencumbered by the limitations of geography or nationality. It is a force that transcends boundaries, connecting people across time and space. Magic is not tied to any particular culture or belief system. It is found in every corner of the world, from the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia to the indigenous tribes of the Americas and the mystic traditions of Asia. Each culture has its own unique practices and rituals, but at its core, magic is a universal language that speaks to the deepest parts of our being.

A girl fights for her life against a malignant, generations-old evil . . .
We may speak different languages or have different customs, but when we engage with magic, we tap into a power that is bigger than ourselves. Magic is not constrained by the physical laws of the universe. It can bend and shape reality, challenging our perception of what is possible. It opens up a world of endless possibilities, where the limits of logic and reason are pushed aside. It is through magic that we can explore our wildest dreams and forge our own destinies. One of the most powerful aspects of magic is its ability to bring people together. It is often in the pursuit of magic that communities form, as individuals come together to share their knowledge and experiences. In these gatherings, boundaries dissolve, as people from all walks of life come together in a shared purpose. These communities become a source of support and inspiration, as individuals learn from one another and push each other to grow. Magic is not constrained by time. It connects us to our ancestors and offers us a glimpse into the future. Through ancient texts and artifacts, we can learn from those who came before us, gaining insight into their practices and wisdom. Similarly, we can use magic to envision a better future for ourselves and the world, shaping our reality through intention and focus. Ultimately, magic has no borders because it is a part of who we are as human beings. It is a reflection of our inherent creativity, curiosity, and desire for connection. When we engage with magic, we tap into a deep well of power and possibility within ourselves. And in doing so, we become part of a global community of seekers and dreamers, united by the belief that there is more to this world than what meets the eye..
