The chakras are energy centers running up and down the center of our bodies. The word itself comes from the Sanskrit “wheel” or “turning.”
The chakras can be “worked.” This means through breath-control and visualization they can become more enlivened with magickal energy.

What is magickal energy?
Magickal energy is any type of energy used for a specific, intended purpose. This includes not only energy raised through our chakras, but also emotional energy such as being excited, anxious, or angry so long as it is used in a fashion congruent with our intent. More on this in the magick book and in future blog posts.
[1] There are no traditional Golden Dawn God names associated with either Ajna or Manipura.
[2] The Mûlâdhara Chakra is considered to be at the base of the spine. The Golden Dawn interpretation is that this chakra moves down to the feet when standing.
