The preternatural's blend-in with "normalcy"

Imagine every person you know started their day off with a personalized version of the LBRP ritual and went to coven meetings? The unrealized normality of "magic" is often underrated and overlooked. When my mind starts wandering into the theory of magical practice, I do think it definitely doesn't seem as everyday as most things, but could definitely be at further inspection. The general symbolism and near-superstition we attach to the mundane everyday routine is what, I assume, contributes to our reassurance that whatever we've done is done right the first time. Note that dictionary definitions for mundane such as "banal" or "unimaginative" could suggest boringness, but I'm sure most people would agree that an unimaginative get-together is still something that could be enjoyed if conversation– which I also consider quotidian– is satisfactory. Hence 'being satisfied' and the sense of enjoyment could still be present alongside our everyday practices. 

But then this begs the question, how can the mundane manifest?

The ritual of completing everyday tasks associating it with a successful day, or feeling that the day has been flowing really well. On the other hand, feeling a sense of doom and manifesting into being clumsy, bad things happen without having control over it, etc. Our mental state controls the way we perform on a day-to-day basis, each having a different reaction or having a different way they are affected by specific mental states. Mental states are secretly the driving force behind a person's life, not even what they know, how good they learn or how good their gut feeling is. If a person can keep their mental state at a constant good, with the assumption that they are in their element, which to me means being in an environment matching their personality type (whether extraverted or introverted), they will always perform at their best.

This, to me, means that we should be using methods to improve our mental well-being that focus on keeping us positive. This is not a Keenan Cloete post without my unsolicited advice, so here are some methods to keep it positive:

• Affirmations
• Meditation
• SLEEP
• Properly balanced diet
• Exercise
• Shadow work
• Routine

Thanks for reading this post. Its original name was supposed to be The Magic of Mundanity and I was going to merge this with the Unleashing Thoughtforms post I made on the The Ordered Chaos section. I'm currently looking for a way to actively incorporate all of these in my life, but it's incredibly hard. I have always struggled with shyness (disguised egotism), which I'm actually slowly shedding. It feels liberating.
