The Magical Woman A magical woman is a symbol of strength, resilience, and enchantment. She possesses a power that transcends the ordinary, allowing her to shape her reality and inspire those around her. The magical woman is deeply connected to her intuition and harnesses the divine energies that flow within her. Her magic lies not in potions or spells, but in her ability to radiate love and kindness. She possesses an inner light that illuminates even the darkest of paths, bringing hope and healing to those who cross her path. Her enchanting aura draws people towards her, magnetizing them with her grace and wisdom.
So, after watching these "magical women" I thought to myself, where is the magic? How were they magical? The situations that they covered is nothing new. There was nothing magical to getting out of these situations that they encountered. We as women deal with being mistreated or abused by men either physically or mentally. Now, the two men that healed the hearts of Su Fei and An Ning were Yang Kai and Su Lou both understood what each of these women had gone through. I feel the magic came from these men not the women. They showed their magic by listening, making them laugh, cry, helping with personal issues, standing by their sides when they felt they had no one and showing that they were not like the men that they had dealt with in the past.
In the process of accepting each other, they also heal their emotional wounds and ultimately complete their transformation, breaking out of their cocoons like butterflies. Through this painful life experience, Su Fei and An Ning finally see the true faces of Yan Weilun Zhang Junning and Pang Xin Bao Jianfeng , and they fight back together with ease.
Her enchanting aura draws people towards her, magnetizing them with her grace and wisdom. The magical woman understands the power of intention and manifests her desires with ease. She knows that her thoughts and beliefs shape her reality, so she chooses to focus on positivity and abundance.
The magical womzn
I realized, this morning, that there are certain people whose Facebook posts I always look forward to reading. Most, although not all, of them are women. I look forward to reading them because even their Facebook posts reflect a quality they have, an inner brightness. They are bright spirits, which doesn’t mean that they are always cheerful or optimistic. No, it means that they are always honest, direct, clear. There is something fundamentally true about them. They shine brightly, like lights that illuminate parts of the world. They show you things.
The ones I am thinking of as I write this are Jane Yolen and Terri Windling, and if you don’t read their writing, you should. And then there is a group of artists, like Iris Compiet and Jackie Morris, Ali English and Bryony Whistlecraft. (Terri is also an artist, of course.) And there are bloggers like Grace Nuth. I love the images they post, the parts of their lives they share with the world.
I think of them as magical women. They make the world more magical, show me the parts of it that are magical, in case I’ve forgotten. But they also write about work. They are all doing wonderful, important work: this week, I’m teaching Jane Yolen’s young adult novel Briar Rose, which was edited by Terri Windling, in my fairy tale class. I think that’s partly where they get their magic and power, that dedication to the work that is truly worthwhile. To the arts in some form, specifically to the mythic in arts, and to arts that change the world. I think it takes a great deal of courage to be one of the people who tries to change the world in some way — I’ve heard too many people say that they’re not trying to change the world, that they’re just trying to entertain (particularly in their writing). But that’s the point of that? If you’re not trying to change the world, what are you doing, and why? I mean, doesn’t the world need changing?
I still remember when I was a corporate lawyer, doing work that other people thought was important. In Manhattan, working with major corporations, flying around the country. I certainly looked and sounded important, and yet I knew the work I was doing was not, ultimately, worthwhile. That it changed nothing, except by making corporations, and their wealthy shareholders, richer. I could feel the hollowness of it. That was why I left.
The life I have now can be exhausting — it’s been particularly exhausting this year. But I know the work I do, whether it’s teaching or mentoring or writing, is all worthwhile. It’s all work that changes the world, even if only in the most minor ways, by changing one person’s perception. I wonder if that is, after all, the definition of magic?
There are all sorts of things I wish for right now in my life, but one consistent wish is to become one of those bright spirits, who speak honestly, directly, clearly. And with courage.
While I was thinking about this blog post, I ran across two videos that I want to include here. The first is an interview with the artist Evelyn Williams, who died late last year. Her art has such intensity. It is sometimes almost too much to take, but how interesting it is — as she was.
The other is a song from Noe Venable called “Sparrow I Will Fly,” which somehow seemed appropriate just now. The song goes, in part,
I’m still waiting
in the cyclone’s eye
for the day when like
the sparrow I will fly
Two videos by two magical women . . .

Su Fei got her divorce and Youran lived with her but saw Yan Wei on the days the courts granted for him to see her. Su Fei was on her on path now. She had her cry and all the emotions one has after such an event. But she really had no time to wallow in her feelings because she now had to be a mother. She no longer had a husband who did the cooking in the morning/evenings and saw their daughter off to school. This was now her responsibility which she had to learn to be a mother, father and also the person who oversaw those within her company. But no one has a nanny that they can make sure you can stay at the office all day/night and look after your child like she did. Who has money like that in the real blue-collar world?
Through her conviction and faith, she manifests miracles in her life and inspires others to do the same. She is also deeply connected to nature, recognizing its inherent magic and healing properties. The magical woman understands the importance of preserving and honoring the Earth, for she understands that we are all interconnected. She respects and cherishes the natural world, finding solace and clarity within its embrace. The magical woman is not bound by societal expectations or limitations. She dances to the rhythm of her own heart and follows her intuition fearlessly. She embraces her flaws and imperfections, knowing that they are simply part of her unique journey. She encourages others to embrace their own uniqueness and celebrate their individuality. Furthermore, the magical woman holds space for others to grow and flourish. She uplifts and supports those around her, recognizing their potential and nurturing their dreams. She knows that by empowering others, she empowers herself and contributes to the collective consciousness of love and unity. In essence, the magical woman is a beacon of light and inspiration in the world. She reminds us of our own innate magic and encourages us to embrace it fully. She reminds us that we have the power to create our own reality and manifest our deepest desires. With her presence, she awakens the magic within each and every one of us..
