The Inner World Comes First: Three Forgotten Truths About Real Magick


Over the last few days, I’ve shared a short series of videos exploring one of the simplest but most overlooked foundations of magick:
everything begins in the inner world.

Not in ritual.
Not in intention.
Not in action.

In the quiet, internal shift that happens before you do anything at all.

These videos barely scratch the surface, but they open the door to something most people sense but never fully understand — the part of magick that happens inside, before anything moves outside.

Here’s a deeper look at the three ideas behind the videos.


1. Magick Begins in the Inner World

Most people think magick starts with what you do:
the candle, the focus, the chant, the gesture.

But the real starting point is always the same:

an inner movement — a shift in how something appears, feels, or sits inside you.

This shift is subtle.
Most people barely notice it.
But it shapes everything that comes afterward.

Before you speak, act, or direct intention, your inner world has already changed.
And unless you become aware of that internal movement, your outer attempts often feel unfocused or weak.

Inner movement directs outer action.
Always.

Recognising that is the first step into real magick.


2. Evoking & Invoking – The Forgotten Skills

In the second video, I talked about evoking and invoking — words often drenched in theatrical ritual imagery.

But their original meaning is surprisingly ordinary:

To evoke is to bring something up inside you.
To invoke is to call in a quality you want.

You already do this constantly.

When you remember a moment.
When you summon courage.
When you get yourself into the right headspace.
When you shift your mood before a conversation.

You’re evoking and invoking all the time — you just haven’t been taught to do it deliberately.

Magick is simply the conscious version of what you naturally do unconsciously.

It’s not complicated.
It’s not dramatic.
It’s a skill — one that becomes powerful when practiced on purpose.


3. The Inner Form – The Hidden Side of Change

The third video explored something most people have never been taught to notice:

every experience has an inner form.

Not metaphorical.
Not symbolic.
An actual felt shape or quality inside you.

Some emotions feel close or distant.
Some feel heavy or light.
Some rise, some sink.
Some appear as images, some as sensations.
Some carry movement, pressure, colour, or texture.

This inner form influences how you react to the world — often more than the situation itself.

Change the inner form
and the outer experience shifts with it.

This is why magick doesn’t begin with forcing the world from the outside.
It begins with working with the inner shape of an experience — because when the inner world changes, the outer world follows.

That’s the hidden side of real change.


Why These Three Ideas Matter

Modern mystics — the ones who do the subtle work — eventually realise:

  • without inner craft, rituals fall flat
  • without inner awareness, intention scatters
  • without inner form, magick has no direction

But when you learn how the inner world works,
everything else becomes clearer, easier, more direct.

This is the quiet engine of magick.
It’s the part nobody teaches.
And it’s the part that actually makes things move.


Want to Go Deeper?

I’m putting together a workshop and a recorded training on this approach to inner craft and subtle magick.

If you want to learn how to work with inner forms on purpose —
and use evoking, invoking, and inner movement deliberately —
let me know in the comments or send me a message, or subscribe to the newsletter.

I’ll keep you posted as it comes together.
