(if you do it, of course)
For me, it's looking up correspondences and gathering special tools needed, like going out to the dollar store and buying the right coloured candle, etc. :)
You?

I like the shifting of awareness. The certainty that there is so much more to existence beyond this flesh and blood.

I like the surges of energy that move through me. It makes me feel...alive for lack of a better term. Not that I usually feel dead or anything.

I like the preparation
I like the power
I like the feeling of control
I like the ability to create change
I like magick in its self
I like feeling part of a bigger picture and not just what people think they know

I think the prep really appeals to me, I love gathering my stuff, and setting the altar just "so".
And i like getting a few moments to myself, just me and my deities, it's nice.

I like achieving my goals. I like making the world better. I like it when people actually improve because of my work.

I have to agree with Sage.
I love feeling the energy when I give it off for a spell, it gives me a feeling of great joy... hell, its almost orgasmic. I also like being near the God and Goddess; I just started but they really seem to like me. Also, when they touch me, my whole body tingles from their immense power.

A mixture of this..
I like the shifting of awareness. The certainty that there is so much more to existence beyond this flesh and blood.
And this..
Xentor I like achieving my goals. I like making the world better. I like it when people actually improve because of my work.
And also as Fire Sage said, there can sometimes be a joyful almost orgasmic feeling when you feel yourself connected to bigger realities.
Even so, I don't perform 'ritualised magic' very often because I don't want to detract from the specialness of doing it;- and there are often more mundane everyday ways to solve problems or make things happen.

The truth? The sad, sorry truth?
The candles. I do all of my magic at night... heck, in the winter, I never see daylight as I work nights... so I shut off all the lights in the house, set everything up 'just so' and light a zillion candles. There's something about the atmosphere of flickering candlelight that's... well, magical.

I do all my magic at night too and I love candles. :)
