Dumbass. Yea it sounds right. I put all new things into my jaws, and I will chew through anything. (Yes I have had splinters and glass shards in my gums. Please do not follow my example. Be a smartass instead
Are you incredibly tired of people using the irl magi tag for non magi related posts? Even if they ARE magis? Such as magis just using the tag for blogging or random posting!
(P.S I know this is kinda hypocritical to say this and then post something that's not really related and tag it as such I'm sorry please forgive me.)
âbut I am too! Which is why I have a proposition. áđ๠´ Ë ` ęąŕŠ
If you post a magi related content tag that includes
- Battles, witch logs, information, guides, etc..
(Use the tags: #irlmagitoirlmagi , #irlchunni , #irlmagicalhero , #Irlmagical girl and so on!)
And if you post
- Magical girl BLOGS / day in the life, or just posts of moodboard, quotes, mood updates, etc.. (and intros!)
(Use the tags: #Irlmagiblog, #magiblog, #Magicalgirlblog, #nonmagirelated.)
If you are not a magi and want a cute tag, please just put #Magicalgirl instead of #Irlmagicalgirl!
In doing this we seperate information from personal! If you tag your posts with #Irlmagi with unrelated posts, it not only clogs the hell out of the forum, but it gets reccomended on the pages of magis who actually use resources on here.
(And while your outfits, and pictures, and moodboards are all incredibly sweet and cute.. not everyone wants to see them and it can get tough to avoid them!)
Thats all, tag accordingly and don't spam!
(P.S I'M SO SORRY AGAIN FOR MISUSE OF THATS I JUST NEED TO GET THE POST OUT THERE IM SORRY)

Astral Projection - In Depth Tutorial ę°ŕ¨ŕ§
(Written as someone with diagnosed ADD who APs maybe 5/7 nights)
(This is magical hero specific, given the sole purpose of my travels is witch hunts and training, but it can be tweaked for the "normies!" /aff)
CW(?): EXTREMELY LONG UNDER THE CUT!
The Golden Rule
If you want to astral project, you have to put in the work. Really believe. Spend time meditating, talking to your patron/contractor (this would be whoever you made a deal with/gave your soul to in order to become a magi), study the topic, read about it, watch videos, etc. Not everyone will get it first try, and that's okay! Everyone gets the hang of it with practice! I used to only be able to do it maybe monthly, and now I do it most of the week!
Sleep Paralysis
Given sleep paralysis is one of the most powerful tools for astral projection, I'll provide a method for that first! From this state, it's impossible to move, so you can easily become disconnected from your body similar to how you do in a dream or trance!
How To Enter Sleep Paralysis
1) Lie on your back. Dead still, this won't work for anyone who twitches frequently/has tourettes. Keep your mind active, think about whatever you want. Blast loud music in your headphones, anything to keep your body still but your mind up and awake.
2) Don't even think about your body. Let your thoughts consume you, forget you're anything more than a mush of brain. Don't even focus on your breathing. A lot of techniques will say to, but just let it naturally come to you, focusing on it just reminds your brain you're inhabiting a body.
3) Wait until you tingle like HELL. Not just a little buzzing or numbness, you gotta feel like you're being electrocuted (without the pain. Immediately stop if it hurts, something's wrong) for it to work properly. Most people who've experienced sleep paralysis know you tingle like crazy.
4) Stay calm. Pretend you're on vacation or some shit. You want this, you know you do, so once you're frozen, stay calm and let it happen.
5) Once you feel completely tingly, disconnected from your body, and like you're nothing but your thoughts (not even your brain, just thoughts) congratulations, you can move on to astral projection!
How To Astral Project
1) Do some heavy meditation. Get your brain in a state of drowsiness, like you're about to fall asleep. Make sure not to, though! Keep your mind active and ready, just like in sleep paralysis. Stay alert and open to responses from your body.
2) Lay down, preferably on your back with your arms at your side and your palm up. Close your eyes and just stare at the back of your eyelids until either your eyes hurt or you simply don't want to anymore.
3) Stay still. You can twitch, unlike the sleep paralysis method, but don't focus on the involuntary movement, focus on the darkness behind your eyelids.
4) Do whatever you have to. Stay awake and alert. Some magical heros are responsive, even in sleepy states like these! Strive to be just like that right now. Listen to loud music, a podcast, just do something to keep your body asleep, but your mind awake.
5) Imagine you're lifting up from your position on your back. Make sure you picture it from a first person perspective, not a third person one. Keep doing this over and over until you start to actually feel yourself lifting up. Be careful not to lift your physical body with you!
6) Once you're sat up, meditate until you start to see your room/wherever you fell asleep from behind your closed eyelids. You might be able to skip this step if sitting up gave you this ability. You should be able to look down and see your physical body below you.
How To Lucid Dream
1) Put together a playlist of subliminals/binaural beats with a timer at the end. I have one linked at the end of the post that I use!
2) Once the timer goes off, let yourself wake up, but stay as still as possible and keep your eyes shut. The alarm will turn off on its own after a bit, just ignore the beeping.
3) Take deep, controlled breaths, make your brain think you're still asleep, even if the alarm woke you up.
4) After a while you should be in a state similar to paralysis, where it feels hard, but not impossible, to move. Once you feel like your body is completely asleep, pinch your nose closed. If you can still breathe with it shut, congratulations! Open your eyes and enjoy the dream!
How To Go From Sleep Paralysis To Astral Projection
1) Focus really hard on a first person perspective of lifting your body up from the bed. Given you're in paralysis, you can't move your physical body, but your soul (or spirit, if your soul is outside your body already) can be transported, as it's not physical.
2) Do this until you feel yourself floating/lifting up. After a while, you'll start to see your room behind your closed eyes. Congratulations, you can now astral project!
How To Go From A Lucid Dream To Astral Projection
1) Summon your contractor/patron and ask them to help your soul travel back to the astral realm from the dream realm! That should be all you need <3
2) If they refuse to help/can't do that, I unfortunately don't know how to help you, as I've always had Kyubey help! Maybe look up some tutorials?

â pick a spot ( inside , outside ) and mark a spot ( high , low , hardâtoâreach , hidden )
â grab a durable stress ball and practice throwing the stress ball at the target while not moving
â once it becomes easy , start trying to hit the target while running around it , you cant stop moving
â once that is easy , increase the difficulty ( ex , throwing at an unhidden spot while moving ⢠throwing at a hidden spot while stationary ⢠throwing at a hidden spot while moving )
â if all difficulties become easy , start adding obstacles and an area you have to stay in ( ex , you can only stay in a designated area while you throw your practice throwables , with obstacles in your way that you have to dodge while you run around the target point )
⤡ you need a bow and arrow , or something that can fire like one
â practice firing with the bow before you practice aiming , make sure you practice enough to be unaffected by recoil
â mark a spot and practice aiming . if youre using a real bow , use an actual target , or mark a tree . if youre using the mini diy bow i linked , you can use anything as a target
â once you can easily hit the target , practice aiming while moving . use soft tipped arrows if youre using real bow . then try firing while moving
â eventually , i recommend you switch to a real bow , or something that is really similar . the diy bow doesn't fire as accurately or as strongly as a real bow can
i hope these help someone! i listed my specific weapons but the broad categories they're in, so even if your weapon isn't a guitar or bombs you can still use my tios and tweak them a bit! like, you can use my bombing training as ninja star throwing training! or you can use my guitar training and, instead of hitting things, you can try slashing things!
Please read my pinned before interacting or following.
Thank you for your time!
You may have seen the term "shifts" going around in IRLMH circles. Not reality shifting, but stages of transformation and progress.
So, what are shifts? Shifts, as a broad term, originated with therians and they deserve all the credit for coining this term and its many varieties. In therian communities, a shift is defined as "an experience that causes [a therianthrope] to feel more like their theriotype." Shifts can take a variety of forms; they can be involuntary or voluntary, they can be strong or weak, rare or frequent, and even positive or negative. These shifts are not exclusive to therians, and anyone can experience them in many different ways. Some people never experience shifts.
A disclaimer: some magical heroes claim to be able to physically shift, or P-shift, which in the realm of magical heroes is defined as "physically transforming." I personally take these claims at face value, with a grain of salt and some due skepticism. According to current scientific understanding, P-shifting is physically impossible. I'm not going to outright dismiss any claims of P-shifting, nor do I think scientific understanding is completely set in stone- I just think physically transforming isn't what most people think it is (for now)!
I've seen many a magical hero discuss shifts as set stages in FMAP format: Fantasy, Mental, Astral, and Physical, in that order. Myself included.
Fantasy shift is described as "the shift where you script your ideal self-concept as a magical hero." But what if I tell you... Fantasy shift technically isn't a shift at all? As stated before, shifts are experiences.
Scripting can be an experience, and you can have these experiences while scripting, but when you have the set idea of "I know I'm meant to be a magical hero, I want to do this," all scripting is doing is helping the pieces fall into place that will allow you to experience those other shifts in much greater depth. Scripting is simply the gateway to shifts and your other experiences as magical hero.
A comprehensive list of shifts is included at the link above! But now I'd like to talk about the main shifts that magical heroes tend to experience:
Mental shift - A shift in mindset. You've transformed your mundane mental state and mindset into that of a magical hero. It's like how many magical heroes in fiction retain the same personality after they transform, but their mindset is different- they "know exactly what to say/do" even if they never did it before (I understand that in fiction, this is just easy writing, but I've experienced this before and this is the reason)
Astral shift - When your astral body leaves your physical body and ventures to the astral realm. Some magical heroes fight in the astral plane. Astral projection comes easy to some and must be practiced for some other people, so this is NOT a requirement of being a magical hero.
Dream shift - When you have recurring and consistent dreams of being your transformed self, whether involuntary or lucid. I fight in the dream world, so turning my dreams lucid (essentially freeing myself from my brain's weaker limitations) is my way of inducing this shift voluntarily. I may talk about this more in-depth another time.
Phantom shift - For therians, this is about experiencing appendages that aren't physically present (such as ears and tails). For magical heroes, this is often described as feeling your transformed self, even if those aspects are not physically present. For example: feeling your hair being longer or shorter or being styled in a certain way; feeling aspects of your outfit; feeling your weapon or items on your person; "tingles" or "sparkles" can often accompany these sensations.
Spiritual shift - Sometimes compared to astral shift in that your non-physical body changes to your transformed self. The main difference being, astral involves leaving the physical body, and spiritual shift often entails your spirit remaining in your physical body during this transformed state.
Henshin shift or transformaton shift - A term I personally coined; it is a combination of mental, phantom, spiritual, and astral, while being fully present in the physical plane. I think this is as close as one can get to physically transforming for now. See below for my personal estimate of how balanced each shift is when experiencing a full henshin shift:
Of course, these balances can vary between heroes.
So, now I'll teach you how to make the most of these shifts!
In advance I'm aware that my advice is very vague. This is intentional. You should find your own ways of doing things that work best for your brain and your abilities!
Dressing in ways that could evoke a transformed state or embody your transformed self- this may be one of the more obvious ones, but definitely helps with the M-shift aspect! If you feel like a magical hero, you are one!
Carrying around items that you would associate with your transformed self or concept- another obvious one
Learn how to voluntarily enter a transformation shift. I've experienced a T-shift involuntarily due to intense emotions, both good and bad. Learn how to transform as a method of magical/ritual grounding or even for self-soothing.
Work on physical abilities. Try dedicating a day's workout to testing your limits in your mundane state (such as only a mental or phantom shift), and then the next workout to testing your limits in a fully transformed shift, if you feel as if your abilities improve when you transform. Compare them. See what you can build on and improve. Evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. See how you can integrate your strengths and compensate for your weaknesses.
Go on patrols IF YOU ARE ABLE! Whether hunting spiritual foes or looking to do outreach in your community, patrols are a good way to connect with your transformed self.

"Puella Magi: Madoka Magica" Major Arcana Concept
(and extended universe (Magia Record Side Story))
0 - The Fool ;; Iroha Tamaki
â [Card Meaning: New beginnings, Naivety/Innocence, Adventure]
Iroha walked into Kamihama knowing nothing about what she was walking into. Her kind heart is both her strength and vulnerability, but inevitably is the fuel behind her magical journey.
I - The Magician ;; Ui Tamaki
â [Card Meaning: Manifestation, Resourcefulness, Power, Inspired action]
Ui's ability to harvest the impurities of Magical Girls just gives magician. Her power is having the ability to become part of the cycle through her wish, and the motive behind it (to help other magical girls like her sister) inspired this unique ability.
II - The High Priestess ;; Yachiyo Nanami
â [Card Meaning: Intuition, Higher Knowledge, Mystery, Subconsious Mind, Feminine Energy]
Yachiyo's grief and silence comes from her knowledge behind the truth of Magical Girls. She's seen as the older sister of the group, and embodies the feminine energy trait of being in touch with your emotions and intuition.
III - The Empress ;; Mami Tomoe
â [Card Meaning: Femininity, Abundance, Nurturing, Beauty]
Mami IS femininity fr. She is literally the veteran magical girl that nurtures Madoka and Sayaka. Because this card is so heavily about a nurturing, loving, guiding figure, no one fits this card better I fear.
IV - The Emperor ;; Touka Satomi
â [Card Meaning: Authority, Establishment, Structure, Control]
Touka is the brains behind the Magius, the one enforcing this system. As the Mouthpiece for the Magius, and seemingly being the ruler supreme (besides Nemu), this felt appropriate.
V - The Hierophant ;; Mitama Yakumo
Click to view the GIF
â [Card Meaning: Spiritual wisdom, religious beliefs, conformity, tradition, institutions]
Mitama embodies the established system of magical girls as she guides others through it without trying to change it. As a Coordinator, she represents the tradition, structure, and quiet acceptance of the Magical Girls' fate. Also conformity = her "Absolute Neutrality" she tries to hold up in the anime. It makes sense in my brain.
VI - The Lovers ;; Kyoko Sakura
â [Card Meaning: Love, harmony, relationships, values alignment, choices]
Kyoko's arc of turning from someone who tried to not care for anyone to SACRIFICING HERSELF FOR SAYAKA TO BE AT PEACE IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE. Her love for Sayaka and her choice to continue pursuing connection after it hurt her so deeply was why i chose her for this card.
VII - The Chariot ;; Momoko Togame
â [Card Meaning: Control, willpower, success, action, determination]
Momoko does everything to just push forward and keep everyone grounded and okay. Her discipline is what led me to choosing The Chariot for her.
VIII - Strength ;; Sayaka Miki
â [Card Meaning: Strength, courage, persuasion, influence, compassion]
SAYAKA IS THE DEFINITION OF STRENGTH THROUGH COMPASSION. Her strength comes from her ability to care so deeply, and even though that's what led her to witching out, that strength (or lack of, in terms of managing her emotions) defines her character arc.
IX - The Hermit ;; Homura Akemi
â [Card Meaning: Soul-searching, introspection, being alone, inner guidance]
Homura completely isolates herself because of the reality of her wish. The way she turns inward at the episode explaining the timeloop was very Hermit of her. Her loneliness is both necessary and destructive, which is why I like this card for her.
X - Wheel of Fortune ;; Nagisa Momoe
â [Card Meaning: Good luck, karma, cycles, destiny, a turning point]
Nagisa is literally the personification of the cycle. Kid -> Magi -> Witch. Hope -> Despair -> Grief. No one is a better fit for this one, especially with the "destiny" aspect of this card, because all magis are destined to be witches.
XI - Justice ;; Mifuyu Azusa
â [Card Meaning:Â Justice, fairness, truth, cause and effect, law]
Mifuyu is SO concerned with the cause and effect of her actions. She tries so hard to do the "right thing" and be on the right side of history throughout the whole series. AND THEN when she realizes the errors of the Magius she takes justice into her own hands and heals the witches who fell to the doppel system she helped facilitate cause that's the right thing AUGHHHHHHHHH IM SORRY I LOVE MIFUYU SO MUCH
XII - The Hanged Man ;; Nemu Hiiragi
â [Card Meaning:Â Pause, surrender, letting go, new perspectives]
Nemu's days are numbered and she knows it, which is why I made her the Hanged Man. She surrenders to the fact that the Magius won't save everyone, but also lets go of control, knowing that they should at least try (cause they're doomed either way).
XIII - Death ;; Oktavia von Seckendorff (Sayaka's Witch)
â [Card Meaning: Endings, change, transformation, transition]
This was def the most scarring witch BECAUSE it was one of our main girls, so I thought that Oktavia would be the best choice for the card. I knew it had to be a witch, because they mark the end of the magical girl's life. So really any witch could work, but i think the most iconic were Oktavia and Charlotte but Nagisa's already in here partially because of her witch form so. yuh.
XIV - Temperance ;; Felicia Mitsuki
â [Card Meaning: Balance, moderation, patience, purpose]
Felicia's arc is centered around her learning the balance between her anger and her connection to the magical girls around her. So. Yay temperance for Felicia. (can you tell im getting tired)
XV - The Devil ;; Homura Akemi (Devil Homura)
â [Card Meaning: Shadow self, attachment, addiction, restriction]
bsfr. it's devil homura. ofc she's gonna be the devil.
but if you're wanting like a real reason... it's because her attachment to madoka and addiction to the chip on her shoulder of "saving madoka" lead her to be the devil.
XVI - The Tower ;; WalpurgisnachtÂ
â [Card Meaning: Sudden change, upheaval, chaos, revelation, awakening]
OKAY IM SORRY I COULDN'T FIND A GIF OF WALPURGISNACHT
Walpur is literally the chaos, end-of-the-world situation in this world. Since the Tower represents a large challenge (usually a painful one), I thought that instead of a magical girl, the depiction of Walpur would be the best fit for this card.
XVII - The Star ;; Tsuruno Yui
â [Card Meaning: Hope, faith, purpose, renewal, spirituality]
Tsuruno is literally the light of the Mikazuki Villa girls. Her hope to be a light for others is why she IS the star. But also, this need to be the light is also what tears her apart inside. The rebalance of her self-worth through being "the best" is what highlights her character.
XVIII - The Moon ;; Alina Gray
â [Card Meaning: Illusion, fear, anxiety, subconscious, intuition]
okay her power is literally creating illusions. but also, Alina embodies distortion and illusion. She views the world through her own chaotic, artistic lens and transforms suffering and instability into something she finds beauty in.
XIX - The Sun ;; Sana Futaba
â [Card Meaning: Positivity, warmth, success, vitality]
AWWW OKAY GUYSSS SHE IS THE SUN
Sana's development as a character goes from her not wanting to be seen to accepting the light and warmth into her life. The warmth and visibility that she receives at Mikazuki Villa is why I chose her for the Sun. She learns to finally step out of the shadows and embrace warmth đĽš
XX - Judgement ;; Madoka Kaname
â [Card Meaning: Judgement, rebirth, inner calling, absolution]
Madoka feels an inner calling to help people. That's literally what she does. She creates the ultimate judgment through her wish, giving the meaning of magical girls a new life, because she didn't want others to suffer like her friends did.
XXI - The World ;; Madoka Kaname (God Madoka)
â [Card Meaning: Completion, integration, accomplishment, travel]
part 2 of do i need to explain?
madoka literally became the cycle. she became the entirety of the magical girl concept. she INTEGRATED herself into it. also common madokami w she is the world forever.
thank you so much for reading!!! keep in mind this is just my interpretation and i wanted to highlight as many charas as possible but yeah yeah!!! doing this was really fun heheh ^w^

Walpurgi is literally the chaos, end-of-the-world situation in this world. Since the Tower represents a large challenge (usually a painful one), I thought that instead of a magical girl, the depiction of Walpurgi would be the best fit for this card.
XVII - The Star ;; Tsuruno Yui
â [Card Meaning: Hope, faith, purpose, renewal, spirituality]
Tsuruno is literally the light of the Mikazuki Villa girls. Her hope to be a light for others is why she IS the star. But also, this need to be the light is also what tears her apart inside. The rebalance of her self-worth through being "the best" is what highlights her character.
XVIII - The Moon ;; Alina Gray
â [Card Meaning: Illusion, fear, anxiety, subconscious, intuition]
okay her power is literally creating illusions. but also, Alina embodies distortion and illusion. She views the world through her own chaotic, artistic lens and transforms suffering and instability into something she finds beauty in.
XIX - The Sun ;; Sana Futaba
â [Card Meaning: Positivity, warmth, success, vitality]
AWWW OKAY GUYSSS SHE IS THE SUN
Sana's development as a character goes from her not wanting to be seen to accepting the light and warmth into her life. The warmth and visibility that she receives at Mikazuki Villa is why I chose her for the Sun. She learns to finally step out of the shadows and embrace warmth đĽš
XX - Judgement ;; Madoka Kaname
â [Card Meaning: Judgement, rebirth, inner calling, absolution]
Madoka feels an inner calling to help people. That's literally what she does. She creates the ultimate judgment through her wish, giving the meaning of magical girls a new life, because she didn't want others to suffer like her friends did.
XXI - The World ;; Madoka Kaname (God Madoka)
â [Card Meaning: Completion, integration, accomplishment, travel]
part 2 of do i need to explain?
madoka literally became the cycle. she became the entirety of the magical girl concept. she INTEGRATED herself into it. also common madokami w she is the world forever.
thank you so much for reading!!! keep in mind this is just my interpretation and i wanted to highlight as many charas as possible but yeah yeah!!! doing this was really fun heheh ^w^

(âOpen tags cus Iâm lazyâ I say before tagging tons of people⌠anyway I know I forgot people, I canât remember usernames right now, sorryâŚ)
Tried my best, nothing much changes between how I look tho
@netidoldenpa @Metainternetangel @m00nma1den @nuptiamagi @themagicalelliot @leloth @mylittleshinestars @eriscosmo @moonliereverie @the-angelic-Collective @phantomthievesanonymous @kyoko-sakura-official @jirai-nene-is-back-again
me and me but with better clothes and my random ahoge that i actually have irl (usually)
most of the people i would tag already got tagged so anybody seeing this consider yourself tagged along with @service-dog-magis @muusoul @cupcakewar @heroofstars-magi @bandaged-clover @magical-girl-hazel @chuuni-of-contradictions
I feel like the mahoublr tag has been overrun by ra.dqu.eers and en.do.s which I do not support. In addition, the irl magical girl tag tends to be used by people using it for aesthetics- I have zero issue with this, it's the least of my concerns, but I kind of want something just for us, y'know? The normal, well-adjusted magis. I will still use mahoublr for the wider community though
I want the tag to be primarily used for Puella Magi and Cycle Magi but any magical hero is welcome to use it
If you are going to uncontract or join a new concept to get a new wish, take the time to REPAY YOUR ENERGY. It makes sm work for other irl mahou shoujo and its pretty selfish to uncontract and contract again in that manner freely.
(You create/repay energy overtime by fighting witches which serves the better for the universe ! Do it do it..)
everything i know about physical magic as an irl puella magi + chuunibyo
(note ; this is not roleplay, fictionkin, or delusion, though roleplayers, fictionkin, and delusional people are allowed to interact. this is irl magical heroing, astral projection, a spiritual practice, and is under the pop culture paganism / magick umbrella. please do not call me delusional, as this can cause me to doubt my experiences and reality, which can send me into psychosis.)
(note no. 2 : PLEASE make sure you are using proper discernment when dealing with magic within the physical. i wont be talking about how to discer in this post because i do will be assuming that you are NOT a complete beginner. this post is not for absolute beginners within the magical world. if you dont know how to properly discern, ESPECIALLY if you are someone who is at risk of experiencing hallucinations, delusions, or other non-magical distortions of reality, then please make sure you can properly discern.)
what's physical magic ? whats the difference between physical and astral magic ?
magic is generally split into two main categories, physical and astral. astral is the most common, due to it being easier, more accessible, and easily hidden.
astral magic is, as it sounds, magic practiced within the astral realm through either astral projection or bilocation. While astral magic can affect the physical, itâs not practiced in the physical, which is why even astral magic that affects the physical is still considered astral magic.
physical magic, on the other hand, is magic practiced in the physical. This most commonly is seen as energy work that doesnât use the astral to be done, sympathetic magic (so poppets), spell jars and other magical charms / objects, etc etc. rarely do you ever see physical magic thatâs like a chuunibyoâs magic, as in transformations, weapons, battling, etc. for the purposes of this post, âphysical magicâ will refer to âchuunibyo magicâ (as in transformations, weapons, battling, etc) and âwitchcraftâ or âspell-workâ will refer to spell jars, sympathetic magic, charms, etc.
good posts on this topic that delve further (list subject to change / new posts may be added in the future):
Exploring the Distinction Between Physical and Astral Magical Girls by majokkid
so, wait, how is physical magic even possible ?
there are multiple ways to achieve physical magic, all having their own pros, cons, easiness, troubles, etc. Iâll be briefly going over which way, as well as giving good starting points for further research
Working in the Physical World
1. reality shifting
reality shifting is the act of changing your awareness from one reality to another. this is based off the theory of infinite realities, all of which we exist in, and reality shifting is just becoming aware of one of those realities. so, you can reality shift to a reality where you have physical magic / your magic can break through the veil.

2. manifestation
there are many forms of manifestation, and I canât go through all of them in just one post, but there are mainly two forms, attraction and assumption. attraction is where you âattractâ your desire, which in this case would be using physical magic through affirming, meditating, using subliminals, having a specific mindset, etc. assumption is where you assume that you already have your desire, and live as if you already do. both work, and itâs all up to personal preference as to which one you choose !

persisting is not hard. you just think it isn't realistic enough.
channeling
âchannelingâ can refer to many different things, but in this case it refers to channeling the magic you have in the astral into the physical world. this wayâs the hardest to explain in my opinion, mainly because a lot of it is just, like, feeling it out. this involves being in the physical and astral at the same time, but just because it involves the astral doesnât mean it doesnât have real world affects. this is the method i use, and when I use it I can walk unassisted and without my mobility aids, but as soon as I de-transform, I collapse. This method does require good clairsenses to be visible, so most normal people wonât be able to see it unless your channeling such a large amount of energy that it breaks through the veil, which, at this moment, I donât think someone with that level of energy exists within this world at the moment.

contract
making a contract with a magical entity (most likely an entity from a magical concept) can allow you to obtain physical magic. this is exceedingly rare, as it requires you to have a large amount of energy and be in a situation for it, like a near death experience for example. for example, there was a puella magi I heard of once who became a physical magi by contracting with kyubey. they had immense energy, karmic fate, AND were in a near death experience, the contract saving their life. so, obviously, this is rare and requires very specific circumstances.

contracts and wishes (plus unbearable pain)
what can physical magic look like ?
well, it depends on the method, if you're reality shifting, have come a VERY long way in your manifestations, or depending on the specifics of your contract, it can look like typical anime-style magic, with flashy transformations and such.
but, if you're channeling, have only come so far in your manifestations, or depending on the specifics of your contract, it may be not visible or only visible by a small amount. to "normal" people, it may look like vivdly imagining (as discussed in rania's post about magical combat irl) due to it only being perceptible to those with good clairsenses or those in the astral.
there may also be a mix of both of these. for example, when i physically transform by using channeling, i am able to walk unassisted (as in, without using a mobility aid). this is a clearly visible effect of my magic. im also a p-shifter / werewolf, and my transformations are somewhat physically visibly to the human eye. these are both forms of clearly visible physical magic that doesn't need clairsenses in order to perceive.
you can also use magic to make magic more visible ! by using veil lowering spells that effect a specific area, or entering an area that is inherently magical like a labyrinth, a place where the veil is naturally weaker, a magical beings home / domain, etc. etc. these are all ways to allow the non-magical to see magic without them having to develop their clairsenses.
final thoughts
both astral and physical magic are equally as important and vauable, and not everyone will be able to do physical magic (whether you dont have enough time, enough energy to break through the veil if you're doing it in this reality, etc.) magic is a deeply personal path, so its all up to you how you practice it !
also, its important to keep in mind that, if you aren't good at seeing and sensing magic outside the astral realm, that physical magic will be much harder.
this was very well put by a frined of mine in the magic outpost, which i'll share here:
i hope this post helped some magic users, and if i missed anything or should add anything let me know or add onto the post in a reblog
thank you for reading, and may you all have magical days ahead !! ^_^
I recently stumbled upon this new astral projection method on reddit and, me.. who always had on and off difficulty in doing astral projection, decided to give the method a try. Result? I astral projected the same night of attempting it.
If anyone is interested in the method, just look up âHead Lift astral projection methodâ on reddit and you will find many posts about it and so many success stories along. So I recommend you give it a try if nothing worked for you or if youâre simply curious.
What I personally did is this.
Right before going to sleep, I put intention to stay completely still the moment Iâd wake up during the night or in the early morning, then I simply went to sleep. No subliminals, no further methods, nothing.
After a few hours, thereâs me waking up in the middle of the night and I immediately remember I should stay still, and thatâs what I did. Then, I followed what the method explained, so I imagined to lift my head up to the ceiling as if there was a magnet above. Next thing I know: Iâm out of my body.
For the rest of the time I just explored the house and didnât even step out or reach for my guides, because I just wanted to chill honestly, and thatâs just what happened. But recently, I read a post on AP with all of the possible things we can do there, and I am very ready to do it again soon and do all of those spectacular things (and of course sharing it with you all).

for the people who are always like âif manifestation is THAT EASY why donât everyone manifest this? why donât you manifest that?â let me explain.
our brain + subconscious literally grew up being conditioned by family stuff, society, trauma, negativity, survival mode⌠so itâs used to struggle. thatâs why it canât easily accept how instant and effortless manifestation actually is.
most of us see it as this long hard process, even when we know itâs instant. thatâs why you feel like you need to constantly affirm, listen to subs, do routines etc. and the second you take a break you feel like you âstarted overâ or all the affirmations you did before donât count. babe snap out of it!!
self concept / nervous system regulation is NOT mandatory. if you already have the mindset that âeverything comes no matter what,â youâre good. but most ppl donât, and thatâs why we recommend working on self concept. once you strengthen it, you stop wavering between âi have it allâ and âi hate my lifeâ every other day. youâre stable in a god tier mindset, and your manifests feel instant. the community lately has been toxic with âyou donât need to do ANYTHING, you already have it allâ which confuses ppl. yeah you donât need to do anything but truth is, most pplâs brains arenât used to that kind of ease. so when they canât naturally shift into the âalready have itâ mindset, they feel bad and think theyâre back at square one.
â if seeing manifestation as a process makes you comfortable, do it that way.
â if you truly believe itâs instant, cool, live that way.
what you assume is what you get.
affirmations & subliminals arenât about âcreatingâ something theyâre reminders, retraining your brain, helping you stay in that assumption. every second youâre literally shifting timelines, bc infinite realities exist.
from my own experience (7â8 years into this) especially the last 2 stronger bc working on self concept changed everything. i affirm, i use self concept subs, and it stops me from wavering. like, even if my current reality looks nothing like what i want, i remind myself: âthis isnât even real, iâm just on a lil side mission right now, iâll be back in my desired reality soon.â practicing non dualism helps you too. nothing is ârealâ except what you decide. and yeah, sometimes bad stuff happens and you feel sad. that doesnât âruinâ your manifestation. forcing yourself not to feel sad or something like that = resistance. let yourself feel it, but remember: youâre choosing to feel it, you cry just bc you want it and it doesnât define your reality. what you assume sticks. so when something shitty happens, instead of spiraling into âfuck my life nothing worksâ, i catch myself and go: âwait. i already have the life i want. this doesnât change anything.â
remind yourself often. it costs nothing. the more you do it, the more youâll see your reality actually shift. you literally have nothing to lose so always choose the better assumption.
