Quotes from Phyllis Curott

You are the spell the universe has cast.

Most people know intuitively that when you fall in love, the world is full of magic. What they don't know is that when you discover the universe is full of magic, you fall in love with the world.

Life is rich it's full of gifts-the more you have the more there is to share. You know its men with small souls who think there isn't enough to go around. They fight to keep their little grasp on their tiny piece of the world and they're always angry because they're never satisfied. They're cursed with a hole they can never fill. They may get things done but they can never keep what they've achieved.

I stood surrounded by naked women not one of them bearing even the remotest resemblance to a centerfold. We had large thighs and round bellies small breasts and breasts that had fed babies full figures and thin ones dark skin and light muscles and fat. And each was beautiful in her own unique way. Laughing and full of light the radiance shone forth from within.

At the quantum level, everything is interconnected energy, even matter.

I needed to learn the wisdom of my body and my heart, not just the wisdom of my mind. […] My body was not just some biological machine designed to carry my consciousness around. I was beginning to understand that, contrary to a culture which called the body sinful, it had intrinsic value, intelligence, and spiritual wisdom to offer me, if I would honor it.

Patience was what was important, not just the destination, but the journey. The goal is not just being full grown, but learning to grow.

Prosperity and comfort were joys everyone should have. But the pursuit of money for its own sake, at the expense of our self-respect, creativity, and compassionate humanity, was the worship of a false idol.

One of the main reasons I've been able to stay this strange course is its ability to prove itself to me. When I reach out, there's something to grab hold of—to see, to touch, to feel. There's a reply to my questions.

Magic works on its own timetable; because it's organic energy, like a plant, you're not going to make it grow, or manifest, faster by tugging on it.

Just the way a dream is a message from your unconscious, a myth is a cultural dream. Decipher the symbols and the meaning of a dream and we understand ourselves better. It's the same with a myth—understanding it gives us insight into a deeper level of our humanity that we all share.

Joy, laughter, love—real magic that changes things. Actions must be rooted in love, not in anger, even at injustice. To feel those things, you have to heal yourself, and help yourself, before you can truly help others. Change yourself and you change the world around you.

The world's full of magic. Other religions call it a miracle, some people call it positive visualization, scientists call it quantum reality. But it can slip right past you if you're not paying attention. Really, that's what a Witch is—someone who's paying attention to those manifestations. And someone who's learned how to work with the energy, for good.

Dreams are one of the creations of the unconscious. Our conditioning, our programming by family and culture—all lie buried deep beneath our conscious mind. And from beneath the surface of our awareness, these ingrained patterns assert their power over us, the choices we think we make freely, the life we lead, the love we fall into. As long as we remain unconscious, they also control the magic we make, our prayers and plans, and their outcome.

Actually, a spell's a lot like a prayer. Except instead of asking a male divinity to do something for you that you can't do for yourself, a spell draws upon your own inner, Divine gifts. It's a way of giving that gift shape or form in the world.

The older you get the more you realize that fashion and a sense of style are about expressing yourself. It should be creative and empowering and fun.

These elegant women were groomed, manicured and dipped in plastic. When was the last time they'd sweated and moaned and smeared their makeup making wild, passionate love? When was the last time I had?

I don't think I'd want to bring that faithless lover back to me. I'd much rather turn him into a frog." "Girl, he already was one.

Socrates said we were once one being, and were split into two when we came to the earthly plain. And now our search for love is the search for our other half.

Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey. —LORD BYRON

Magic is what happens when you have encountered the Divine. It is the life-altering experiences of connecting to the divinity that dwells within yourself and in the world.

Most people know intuitively that when you fall in love, the world is full of magic. What they don't know is that when you discover the universe is full of magic, you fall in love with the world.
