Witchy bell enchantment is a practice that involves infusing bells with magical energy to enhance their power and use them as a tool in witchcraft. Bells have long been associated with magic and spirituality in different cultures and are believed to possess protective and cleansing energies. The enchantment process begins by selecting a bell that resonates with the practitioner's intention. It can be a small handheld bell or a larger decorative bell, whichever feels most aligned with the practitioner's energy. The bell can also be cleansed and consecrated before the enchantment to ensure that it is free from any previous energies and ready to be charged. To enchant the bell, the practitioner may start by meditating and connecting with their intention or the specific purpose they want the bell to serve.

Grover Washington, Jr. – Mister Magic

This is an oddity as it has an MOTD-5175 CD in a 3746351752 cover. I suspect any standard issue of MOTD-5175 would look more like MCD09002MD perhaps with an MOTD-5175 paper sticker on the back. Happy to be proved wrong.

Amazing album and best pressing by a long shot. Easy to spot by the prominence of Gary King’s bass sound. No other pressing of this record has as much bite to the articulation and punchy tone. The drums also sound punchier and clearer here. Incredible

I did not know anything about this guy when I bought the record, just thought the cover looked cool. But it's actually one of my most played records now, amazing stuff!

An album impossible to get bored. It has details, climates and only 2 tracks per side (and very good).
By the way, this is my first comment on Discogs :p

This release used the US platters and sound exactly like the original US released except that the quality of this pressing is stellar where the US could be quite noisy.

This is some quintessential jazz funk by an outstanding band. The mix is beautiful and this is an excellent pressing.

I initially treated this album as just a guilty pleasure, the same way I feel about most of GW Jr's later work. But after a few listens, I had to reevaluate. Mister Magic isn't just smooth cheese: there's a sharp edge on this stuff. The best track, "Earth Tones", drops some unexpected nature samples, aggressive solos, tight drum work and a very odd gradual tempo change at one point. It never gets TOO far out, but it's not exactly easy listening either. I just keep coming back to this track since it hits a great balance: funky but not too commercial, progressive but not noodly.

The last three cuts are less ambitious. "Passion Flower" is buried by Bob James' sappy string arrangements. "Mister Magic", one of Washington's best-known compositions, avoids disaster with a strongly lyrical melody that even James' canned brass hits can't ruin. Finally "Black Frost" regains some of the energy from Side A, and for once the string section adds mystery rather than cornball '70s cliches.

This saxophonist’s fourth album was soulfully engaged with the strings-laden production sonics of mid-’70s R&B—but not at the expense of majestic soloing. Check out the progression of Washington’s long soprano spotlight on opener “Earth Tones”: He builds to peak intensity with a patience that plenty of other fusion artists don’t have. Later, he reinforces his connection to the core jazz tradition with a winning cover of Billy Strayhorn’s “Passion Flower.”

To enchant the bell, the practitioner may start by meditating and connecting with their intention or the specific purpose they want the bell to serve. This could be protection, prosperity, divination, or any other desired outcome. Visualizing the energy flowing from their intention into the bell, the practitioner can then speak or sing an incantation, imbuing the bell with their focused intention and personal power.

RECORD LABEL

Once the bell is enchanted, it can be used in various ways within witchcraft practices. It can be rung to mark the beginning or end of a magical ritual, to signal a transition or shift in energy, or to call upon specific spirits or deities. The sound of the enchanted bell is believed to carry the practitioner's intention and can amplify the energy of spells or rituals, making them more effective. In addition to its use during rituals, the enchanted bell can also be used for personal energy cleansing and protection. The practitioner can ring the bell around themselves or their space, visualizing the sound and vibrations clearing away any negative or stagnant energies. This can create a harmonious and energetically purified environment, conducive to magical workings and spiritual practices. Furthermore, the enchanted bell can be incorporated into divination practices. The practitioner can ring the bell before and after a divination session to create a sacred and focused space. The sound of the bell can help to attune the practitioner's energy, heighten their intuition, and invite spiritual guidance and insights. In conclusion, witchy bell enchantment is a powerful practice that harnesses the magical properties of bells in witchcraft. By infusing the bell with intention and personal power, it becomes a versatile tool that can be used in rituals, energy cleansing, protection, and divination. Its sound and vibrations are believed to amplify magical energies, making it a valuable asset for any witch or practitioner..
