The Spirit of the Merlin is a Cosmic Ascended Master presence, a “bridging soul” created by the Divine to bridge the divide between the consciousness of humanity and the power and wisdom of magick. Guiding humanity back to recognition of this power as being part of them and the knowledge of its use as being their inheritance and birth right.
The Magicians are a collective of historical magickal characters – all men – who at some point throughout history embodied the wisdom and power of the Spirit of the Merlin. This great light guiding and inspiring them to make bold advances in the fields of alchemy, philosophy, Angelic communication, prophecy and conjuration! Now these seven great masters of the occult – a word which means hidden truth – return their attention to the Earth to aid humanity with their own expertise and knowledge through the grace and power of their guiding light and inspiration.

Michael Scott – The Energy Crash
Michael Scott was born in Scotland, and studied first at the cathedral school of Durham and then at Oxford and Paris, devoting himself to philosophy, mathematics, and astrology. It appears that he had also studied theology and become an ordained priest, as Pope Honorius III wrote to Stephen Langton on 16 January 1223, urging him to confer an English benefice on Scot, and actually himself nominated him archbishop of Cashel in Ireland.
“Many people, drawn to the spiritual path, experience the wondrous feeling of being “high” in the energy of the Divine Light. Whether this comes to them as a result of meditation, the healing work that they do, or as a result of sitting amongst a group of like-minded people talking about spiritual truths. Then there are those teachers, great and powerful women and men who have the ability to raise their audience up, opening their minds to new horizons and possibilities and opening their hearts to the love of the Divine. These wonderful moments of connection and community, or energy and power far outweigh all those difficult and tumultuous times spent struggling along the road, alone and assailed by the sleeping - those yet blind and deaf to the truth of the ancient ways.
However many people too have experienced the horrendous feeling of sadness and despair, depression and loneliness that can often come when we return home from our weekend workshop or retreat. The crushing feeling of futility and obstruction that can come when we separate ourselves from the Divine Light, or don’t meditate for a while, or stop healing in order to focus upon the demands of the “real world”. This is known as the “energy crash” and occurs as a result of us “coming down” from the high and expanded state of energy and consciousness that we have experienced during our time of been plugged in and attuned.
Just like the “blues” experienced by performers or athletes after a show or a race or game when the adrenaline high of their experience wears off leaving them exhausted and low, the “energy crash” is the result of a withdrawal from the high energy of our spiritual experience and the subsequent crash of energy as our frequency and vibration plummets to earth. As a result of this inability to sustain the high field of power we have experienced, generated or partaken in, the subtle forms collapse crashing in upon each other and making us feel small, disconnected, depressed and incapable of carrying on! This can – for some – prove all too much and either cast them from the path in a moment of exasperation or cause them to fold in upon themselves in despair and darkness. Here then is our guidance on what best can be done to avoid such things in the future and rather sustain your elated feeling of connection and joy.
After a powerful experience, a powerful spiritual healing or guidance session, a powerful workshop or retreat, a powerful visit to a spiritual place of sanctity or a powerful meeting with your spiritual friends you must work on sustaining the energy that you have absorbed and which has lifted you. Directly after on your way home or before you go to bed, centre yourself back into that golden glow of feeling and visualize a brilliant golden seal of light surrounding the outer edge of your aura and holding this great light in. Say to the universe and your Guides … “Divine, Guides of Light, hold me in this power and this feeling, sealing around me this light that I might not fall but rather be held ever and always in your presence, power and care.”
When you return home, or on the next day, do something to build upon that which you have accrued, meditate, send a little absent healing, read a little spiritual philosophy or pour over the notes that you have made. It matters not if this takes only 15 minutes out of your day, just do something, anything to add to the power in your system and being. Henceforth every day do something, a prayer of protection and connection, a small guided visualization, a little absent healing, a little general prayer. If you have an altar always work in front of it, if you have special sacred pictures – of Angels and Masters – work before them or carry them with you. If you have crystals that you can carry or wear do say the very day after you return from your meeting or course. Do whatever you can to keep your energy up and high! Laughter will help, as will feelings of happiness and joy and so if you can do nothing else try as best you can to maintain a positive attitude.
After a little while – say three days or so – if you have managed to continue to “feed” yourself in this way you will have discovered that your energy has been maintained and your usual feelings of sadness and disconnection have passed because you will have established a new normal energy high for your being! Doing this regularly will increase your “light quotient” – the amount of general prana or life force your body runs on – which will improve your general health as well as contributing to your spiritual evolution and well being!
Be then ever mindful of the potential dangers of the “energy crash” and do what you can to avoid it, it is common place and usual but can be avoided and sometimes all we need and require is a simple reminder that these energies and powers – the presence of the Divine, the Masters and the Angels – are around us and with us always and that all we need do in order to maintain our awareness and contact with them is a little daily practice at keeping our energy high.
Take then these words and know that they are truth and in the Gods names use it wisely and well, bright blessed be.
