The ReEnchanted

09/02/2025

Real Magic isn’t about pointy hats. It’s not something outside of you it’s a natural state of being.

Magic is Your birthright.

⚡️Intuition when you just ‘know’.
⚡️Instinct that told you to get out of there
⚡️Wild synchronicities beyond mere coincidence
⚡️The Dream that came true
⚡️The flash of insight

We are all born with abilities of the higher mind, yet most have forgotten how to use them.

There has been a concerted effort over millennia to remove it from our hands yet preserve for the few.

🤦We’ve been trained to think of magic as daft, mad or dangerous!

It’s time to reclaim so that we do not lose them in a world of tech and cynicism.

The Luminous Arts begins 3rd March til 30 May.

Our 12 week guided journey into divine magic will guide you to reclaim and rebuild your innate gifts.

Bridging ancient wisdom with modern science including:

🤍 Dream interpretation

🧠Strengthen your intuition with guided imagination practices

♒️ Learn to read Symbols (language of the universe)

📜Ancient wisdom - exploring our wise roots

🕸️Quantum principles - makes it make sense

🌗 Magical Living practices - for daily wonder and results.

This is a flexible course structure (video teachings on a Monday morning watch when convenient for you. Then we gather Friday on zoom for discussion Q+A.

What if I told you that you were born with extraordinary abilities that most of us have simply forgotten how to use?

These aren't supernatural powers. IN FACT they probably sound really ordinary:

▫️Intuition, that natural knowing that supersedes all.

▫️Imagination, a bridge to possibility. Nothing becomes without it.

▫️Attention, as a magical tool. What you focus it on, grows.

But they have the power to perform the EXTRA-ordinary.

R E A L M A G I C is your natural birthright...and it's right under your nose.

GNOwledge Is Power 🍎

Gnosis isn't something you learn from books.

It's direct knowing. Soul knowing. Heart knowing.

The Ancient Greeks understood this as divine intelligence - a natural human gift that bypasses logic and downloads wisdom directly from source.

That gut feeling?
G n o s i s.

That sudden knowing?
G n o s i s.

That deep recognition of truth?
G n o s i s.

This apple isn't forbidden - it's an invitation to remember what you already know.

🍎Your intuition isn't random.
🍎Your imagination isn't childish.
🍎Your inner knowing isn't coincidence.

They're your birthright

S O M E T H I N G W A S L O S T ...

I recently heard author Gordon White talk about this...

'You can’t escape the feeling that we (humans)used to be better at all of this. Another way of looking at it is to say why does the cosmic, mythological notion of 'The Fall' have so much felt sense of reality?

Why does it feel like even though we can experience, and do as much as possible experience in this place that is sacred, why does it also feel kind of fallen, like one used to be better at it?'

That resonated deeply with me. I feel the loss of a time when we were FULLY in-tune our innate abilities, those gifts of the higher-mind imagination, intuition, connection with nature, the cyclical rather than the linear.

What is lost is magic.

It is returning but it won't look like we expect.

It will incorporate technology. .

A metaphorical example being the ancient Amazonian cities being uncovered by lidar technology.

The knowledge, the 'magic' is returning.

Well TFFT!!

New Podcast is up!

In this episode I explore the yearning for re-enchantment.

In sociology, re-enchantment is the idea of reawakening a sense of wonder and connection to the world and oneself.

Humans have lived alongside magic for hundreds of thousands of years and then came the enlightenment and the "progressive disenchantment of the world" as described by Max Weber.

As we face rising nihilism, constant plundering of the earth's resources and rapid growth of artificial intelligence. What if a healthy dose of Re-enchantment with its magic, creativity and some [pre-enlightenment style] animism could be the surprising solution. What if.....

Podcast · Clare Macdonald · No matter which way round you look at it 'Imagination is Magic'. The human faculty of imagination provides the foundation for all magic(k)al practice and passport to the divine by way of The Imaginal realm. So why does our culture invert this superpower to mere make-bel...

Imagine 5 hours uninterrupted, restorative time out dedicated to your own inner world.

Let's do it!

I am holding an in-person event on Sat 30th November. 11-4pm.

🔮The Magic of the Imaginal: A Creative Day Retreat ✏️

It's a very rare opportunity to merge deep guided practices (such as Yoga Nidra) with creative expression.

🪞This retreat will connect you with the mystical world of the Imaginal (world of image, insights, guidance and novel info).

☺️ Each guided practice uses gentle breathwork and is followed by personal reflection time, allowing you to capture your insights and creative impulses through drawing or writing.

☁️ You'll come away understanding the language of symbols making your dreams a treasure trove of solutions and guidance.

🎨 Plus, you'll receive a blank canvas to immortalise your most profound gift from your journey into the imaginal realm.

This intimate event (limited numbers) so don't miss out on this opportunity to immerse yourself in creativity and self-discovery.

The Imaginal Realm - a very real, intermediate, placeless space between the physical and spiritual worlds.⁠
⁠
⁠
A place full of answers, transformation, insights and wonder, all made possible by our human superpower – IMAGINATION. ⁠
⁠
⁠
This imaginal is a world of image (symbols and pictures). It speaks to us in images and we can communicate that way too (mind imagery, drawing, the use of symbols).⁠
⁠
⁠
IMAGINATION is so much more than 'make-believe' or fantasy... in fact it's seated at the other end of the spectrum, where we find truth.⁠
⁠
⁠
The ancient Greeks called it, Epinoia (hyper-intelligence). They knew!⁠
⁠
⁠
Major re-enchantment is to be found when we dive into our Imaginal realm, allowing us contact with our deepest selves, access to advice from 'out there' and spontaneous imagery and novel, fresh ideas when we feel dull and stagnant. ⁠
⁠
I mean if that's not frickin' magic, what is!⁠

I've had this in my head recently.

No idea who said it, or if even if they did.

07/11/2024

It's me, Clare!

I've had a REfresh, REnamed my work The ReEnchanted - I'm REclaiming what I know to be true.

As Douglas Rushkoff says 'MAGIC IS POST-INSTITUTIONAL'.

Meaning when hierarchical structures fall; governments, capitalism, the glitz and glam of Hollywood, monarchy, religious institutions what are we left with?

What is it that connects us, starts stuff, brings about better. It's gonna be magic:

🧠🎨The magic found in our own minds, hands and hearts. Intuition, creativity, the faculty of Imagination.

🌟Your Inner knowing, our own person genius (spark of the divinity). Intuition.

🌷🪐 The Beauty of nature and an acknowledgement of the unfathomable intelligence that created us.

🤩 F*****g AWE!!

I've had an intense pull to counter the disbelief/ horror with a preservation of beauty, hope, wonder, play and pleasure when the going gets tough (hello ‘2020s’) and a deep longing to find the others who feel the same way. Those aware that it's essential for our mind, body and communities. That magic will provide the answers to heal.

That's my wish a posse of post-institutional possibility, which is a bit of a mouthful 🤭 so I call it The ReEnchanted
