Maine is Magick

A quick google search on Mackworth Island will turn up a bunch of different articles. This is one of Maine’s most famous islands, steeped in lore and complete with a traumatic and, quite frankly, disturbing history. It’s the stuff a paranormal show on the travel channel would dream of visiting. Most people won’t be doing any ghost-hunting on the location though. This island has hours and it closes at dusk. So, why am I even writing about it if it’s been written to death? It’s simple, there’s a lot more to this island than trauma, there’s a bigger picture to be discussed. 

Maine island lore is full of fairies and gnomes, and Mackworth Island isn’t any different. An entire section of the island is dedicated to fairies, and it’s full of houses and offerings. When you visit this island, you’re to bring an offering to the ghost horse if you happen by the pet cemetery. Some people believe that the horse is the gatekeeper to the island’s many spirits. 

A handful of people will tell you their ghost stories from Mackworth, but most people, the workers on the island specifically, don’t have any tales of their own. That’s where the horse comes in. If you bring the horse a carrot or an apple, it is said that you’re showing that you’re someone the spirits can trust. 

All of my experience with this island comes from performing magic rituals on its shores. The shores are loaded with quartz, garnet, mica, and one of the most powerful protectors, sand. I’ve found that I can speak anything into existence on the shores of this island. You can’t just roll up there and chant anything into existence though. The island will make sure of it. 

Side bar—there’s ideas that the great pyramid was once a battery. BECAUSE, it was encased in limestone, had a granite interior, a water tributary underneath, and the sun launched down onto the point. 

So, what if you have *most* of those components? Maybe you can’t generate your own energy, but what if you can amplify vibrations you’re sending out? There are two other places in Maine with this same mineral content and water running along them that I’ve visited (probably many more than 2 exist) and they all lend themselves well to the idea of a window area. I’ve had great luck performing large rituals for large beings and have had great luck manifesting my needs in these areas. All three areas are known for their hauntings and exciting ghost tales. What if the combination of the right minerals works like a chemistry experiment? 

Aside from Maine being the ultimate vacationland and beautiful, it’s creepy. Anyone that’s grown up here has a ghost story. 8 out of 10 people have lived in a haunted house. Why does this happen here? Well, what if the entire state is a giant magick spell? The ocean runs along its side, the entire coast is quartz, granite, and beach sand (for those unfamiliar, beach sand is often used in place of salt in magick rituals), the state is steeped in pine/oak/maple trees, apples, limestones, granite, tourmaline, and many other minerals. What if Maine is a gigantic magick spell? 

We have lots of islands with no police or external governing of any kind (are you thinking about wicker man? Cuz you should be). We have towns that hide their ghosts from outsiders and worship them like gods. We have towns buried by water for companies like Nestle. We have had wars fought on our coasts. I mean, seriously. There’s so much to explore and investigate here. I’ll have to tell you about the dogs and the mermaids another time.
