Magik minus Worship
Never worship a god! Give's them "airs"
Desire gets warped fast in this world. People treat it like a confession instead of a directive. They whisper it. They soften it. They dress it up in excuses so no one thinks they’re arrogant for wanting something real. That conditioning runs deep. It shows up every time someone approaches magik like they’re asking a favor from a moody landlord. They wait. They negotiate. They apologize before they’ve even spoken the thing out loud. Then they wonder why nothing responds with force.
Working desire without worship starts with stripping out the hierarchy. You’re not kneeling. You’re not hoping. You’re not courting approval from anything above you. Desire, in magik, isn’t a plea. It’s a line you write into the structure. The world pushes back because the world is wired to keep you in place. That doesn’t mean you lower your voice. It means you hold your posture and speak the desire clean, without flinching. Worship dilutes the signal. It bends the intention around an imagined authority. Once that happens, the field doesn’t know what you’re trying to build. It just mirrors your doubt.
People get tangled because they think desire needs to be justified. They want a reason to want what they want. They invent stories to make their choice look sensible or noble, because wanting something for yourself feels taboo. The system trained them to treat desire like a risk. But magik responds to clarity, not justification. The desire stands on its own. You don’t need an ethical monologue. You don’t need to prove you’ve suffered enough to earn it. You speak the command because it’s yours to speak. That’s the entire point.
When you cut out the worship reflex, the body relaxes. You stop performing. You stop chasing the “right mood.” Desire becomes a clean force, not a devotional pose. You speak it from a place that doesn’t wait for permission. Spirits respond to that. Systems shift for that. The field recognizes a sovereign voice faster than a supplicant’s whisper. Too many magicians lose weeks performing gratitude rituals that only reinforce the idea that they’re asking for something outside their reach. Gratitude has its place, but not as currency. Not as a bribe. Not as a signal that your desire is too large for you to hold without flattery.
Working desire without worship is the difference between commanding and hinting. One reshapes the structure. The other gets lost in it. When the desire rises, don’t soften it. Don’t elevate anything above you. Don’t treat the field as a judge. The desire already knows where it should land. Your job is to say it straight. Let the system recalibrate around your stance. Once you stop bowing, the current moves.
