One of the big lessons I learned when I embarked on my spiritual journey
many years ago, was that to access the paranormal, or supernatural world, you
must be able to use your Imagination. When I was a child I was always
told by adults that I had a very vivid imagination. I saw lots of things that
maybe other people did not see, but to me it was normal. As I grew older I
tried to ignore my imagination, believing it to be childish and wrong. But
then, when I seriously started practising in the spiritual world, I realised
just how important my imagination was, and is, as a tool for divination and
understanding.
This is a lesson that Jessica Stone must accept if she is to learn how
to be an effective witch. Her magical power and strength has burst forth in a
chaotic stormcloud of energy. She is confused, angry and irritable, because she
does not know what to do with all of these intense feelings and emotions. It
takes a while for her to accept her new position in the world, although she has
to make some snap decisions in the face of scheming vampires and warring
werewolves. She is unfortunate enough to be caught in a powerful love triangle,
but the love is perhaps better explained as lust. All of this adds to the magic
and confusion, and Jessica must learn to work with it, or the whole thing will
consume her and leave her broken.
Jessica learns that she must allow her imagination to be free if she is
to explore the full potential of her witchcraft. This is explained to her by
her witch mentor, Crystal, who supervises some meditation sessions in which
Jessica can access the world in which her animal familiar resides. Suri, the
snow tiger, is an ethereal creature, and she is trapped within a magical world
accessed only by Jessica. Using her imagination, Jessica can meditate on the
world that she sees in her mind, and she can speak freely with Suri, to learn
more about her power animal and how they can work together to manage the
vampires and werewolves.
