The Magic #

Background #

Kate took inspiration for this song from The Coloring Book of Shadows. The title is not necessarily final.

I am not a prayer person. I don’t, like, talk out loud to a deity very often. I have maybe a few times. I don’t necessarily know that I believe in a deity. I believe that witchcraft has power over us because we believe in it, which I think is true of basically anything. And if we want to believe in witchcraft, then that’s the thing that can have power over us. But, um, there’s a spell in it that’s for self power, and the words of the spell were, “I am the magic, I am the guide, the magic is power, the magic is inside.” And I didn’t want to just say it out loud, because I felt goofy, so I sang it. And as I started repeating it, I was like, “You know what? I think I could actually write a whole song, like based off of this.” And the woman who wrote Coloring Book of Shadows actually has– I posted a video of it on Instagram at one point, and she has responded and said that she enjoys it. So that’s nice! It was sort of a collaborative effort between myself and another artist, even as incidentally as it was.
