With Halloween just around the corner we are talking about Magic. Do you believe in Magic?
Do you believe in magic?
Looking for Mr. Good Witch By Joyce Lavene
I’ve asked many people this question in person and online in various social media spaces. It’s a simple question and yet it’s also complicated.
Do you believe in magic?
People define magic differently. Some mean magician magic – sawing a woman in half and making her disappear. Some people mean ordinary magic such as falling in love or experiencing a miracle. Others, like witches, believe in magic of the earth, magic they can touch, see, and experience.
I suppose when I asked the question I meant anything that happens that isn’t explained by ordinary means.
It’s not good luck like winning a lottery or not being killed in a car wreck. It’s the feeling that there is magic still in this world. The feeling that there is something we can’t explain and yet we know it’s there.
How do you feel about magic? Is it in every rainbow and beam of sunlight? Is it part of your life? If so, where do you believe it comes from?
I believe in magic – the magic of the earth, fire, water, and air. I believe that there are things we can’t explain that happen every day. They impact our lives and urge us to be happy we’re alive.
Do you believe in magic?
Tell us what you think? Where do you see or find Magic? Do you have a favorite Halloween tradition?

Thanks for hosting this great giveaway; I love this writing team and book series...I've been called a witch, sort of, and now I'm retired. Magical? I just saw the most beautiful purple and red sunset. I can only imagine what magical things happen on a night like this. And Halloween? I love glowing Jack o' lanterns, crisp cool air, and the scent of fireplace smoke...ooooh, popcorn balls! kat8762@aol.com
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathleen! I love your magic!
DeleteYes, I do believe in magic...the magic of the world around us is spectacular! Cloud formations, blooming flowers, trees and sea creatures are magical if we slow down and pay attention there is magic everywhere we look. All we have to do is be in the moment and magic appears. It was nice to meet you both and thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you, Diane! That is awesome magic!
DeleteI think there is magic in the world, and how it makes our lives better (we just don't see or realize it). Halloween is such a fun holiday! I miss dressing up and visiting the neighbors. I do enjoy seeing all of the fantastic costumes the little ones are wearing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win a copy of the book.

I think we've all had some experiences we couldn't explain, Marilyn. Some people call it magic.
DeleteHaving read the first book in the series, it will be interesting to see what the retired witches will face next. I love all of Joyce and Jim's series. Thanks for interviewing them and sharing the news of their new release. robeader53@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteJ&J are awesome writers! Thanks for a shot at the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteI see magic all the time in children's eyes, and of course all over beautiful Wyoming.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway.
I don't have a favorite Halloween tradition. It has gotten to be a holiday that is more about ghoulishness and gore than the cute costumes and Jack O' Lanterns. In my opinion there is enough ugliness in the world. I am seeing magic in this lovely fall weather, though! And it is magical what you authors write!

DeleteI believe in magic. I've had some wonderful and strange things happen. My son-in-law has even had furniture moved in his home that the adults deny moving and are too big for the grandchildren to move.

I think it's magical the way a book can transport you to a different place or time. You can experience whole other worlds that don't exist thru the pages of a book. Now that's magic.
