“Magic is a combination of art and science. It's an art because of the traditional parts of things, the graceful gestures, the sonorous invocations, the use of colour, sight, sound, all of these things make it very much an art form. Yet it is also a science as well because we expect something to come of what we do. Using and creating these almost dreamlike inner landscapes in which we can live, move, and have our being.” WellsArtUseMovingFormSoundMagicCreatingArt IsSightTraditionalLandscapeCombinationColourGesturesArt And ScienceInvocation Author:Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
“I continue to say that I wish we had another word other than magic. It no longer means what we are doing or we are attempting to do. We have to find another terminology. Magic is first and foremost a way of belief.” WayFirstsMeanBeliefWishMagicAttemptingTerminology Author:Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
“In magic I believe I can control certain elements of my environment, I believe I can control certain aspects of my endocrine system, through imagination, visualization, breathing techniques, which in a sense come into the scientific aspects. So magic is a combination, its a soup, a delightful combination of art, imagination, visualization, fantasy, with a healthy dose of solid basis, because it is a science. The thing is we've lost the keys.” BelieveArtI CanCertainLostI BelieveImaginationFantasyEnvironmentMagicKeysHealthyElementsAspectBasesTechniqueCombinationBreathingSoupDelightfulDoseVisualization Author:Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
