"I am the way, the truth and the life. Noone comes to the Father except
through me."
"I am" is a form of the verb "To Be". Be the "I AM". Be what you want to
become. Act it out. Be the vibrational match for what you want. I think
therefore I am. I am therefore I have.
"The way". Being "I AM" is the way. If you are being "I AM" in a negative
context, you will attract negative results. Being "I AM" in a positive
sense, attracts positive results.
"The truth". The truth of this whole statement. That being "I AM" is the
way.
"The life". Being "I AM" is the way to the life you desire.
"Noone comes to the Father except through me." By being "I AM", you
attain union with the creative force in the universe (The Father). You
are the creative force (comes to the Father).

Michaelangelo
In the movie "The Secret", Joe Vitale says "You are the Michaelangelo of your own life, and the David you are sculpting is you."
A little further on in the movie, it is stated "This is a feeling Universe. When you change your feelings, the Universe conspires to the nature of your song. It has to, because that's the way you feel".
Therein lies the essence of all Magic - emotion.
Everything in this Universe vibrates. It is all the same energy. The only reason you perceive many different "things" is only the difference in rate of vibration.
A diamond and a piece of coal are one and the same, for example - only that the diamond has a higher rate of vibration.
Now we'll get to the point - sculpting or authoring your life.
This sculpting or authoring is a Magical Ritual, just like any Magical Ritual.
So, set the mood for this - incense, candles etc.
Now, write the story of your life. From where you were to where you want to be. Be creative and think big with this. Afterall, it's only a story, right?
No, it's a manifestation technique, a Magical Ritual.
Really get into the story. Write of a life beyond your wildest dreams! Emotionalize what you want. Spend as much time and energy on this as you can. It's your life, you are the most important person in it, for without you, you would not be in your life at all.
Read your story as much as possible. Get into the emotions behind it. The joy, the happiness, the contentment.
Live the life of your dreams!

Essence of Magic
Many neo-pagans base their magical workings on the premise that there
are four magical Elements, called Earth, Air, Fire and Water. With a
possible fifth Element known as Aether or Spirit.
This understanding provides you with a great base to work from.
Tarot tells you that the suit of Wands represents the element of Fire,
the source of creativity and passion, amongst many other things.
The suit of Cups represents Water and the emotions.
Swords represent Air and the intellect (mind).
Pentacles represent Earth worldly matters.
Next, you could take a look at Ceremonial Magic with it's Lesser
Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram.
Raphael is located in the East and he represents Air (Swords - mind).
Gabriel is located in the West and she represents Water (Cups -
emotions).
Michael is at the South and he represents Fire (Wands - creativity).
Auriel is in the North and he represents Earth (pentacles - worldly
matters).
You could then skip to Kaballah to discover what lies there.
You are usually greeted immediately by the concept of four worlds.
Briefly, the four worlds are four levels of existence.
First, Assiah. This is our physical world and would equate with Auriel,
Earth element, pentacles and worldly matters. Assiah is the world of
manifestation. Manifestation begins with an idea.
Next level up is Yetzirah. This is the formative world. It is the world
of intent and motivation, where an idea is formed into a blueprint
before the idea manifests. It equates to Raphael, Swords and mind.
The next level is called Briah. Briah equates to Gabriel and emotions,
also the suit of Cups of the Tarot.
Finally, there is Atziluth. This is the Spiritual world and this is the
world of Fire or Desire. Desire is divine perfection (unconditional
love). All else are offshoots of this perfection.
Ideation-Imagination-Emotion-Desire.
Magical rituals are great. They are a point of focus for the Magical
Elements of Ideation-Imagination-Emotion- Desire. Always bear in mind,
though, fun as Ritual is, it is just a tool - albeit a necessary one in
most cases.
But knowledge of WHY a certain Magical Ritual is performed the way it
is, will give that Ritual more power.
We hope that this knowledge will help you in formulating you own
Rituals aswell.
