The Magick Twelve-Step

Written By Pink Flowers

Here’s twelve steps to up your magick game, y’all — for realz!

Even though this shit sounds like what I’ve been trying to tell y’all for the past few months. I thought it might sink in coming from an old White dude. Here’s what Doc Wayne Dyer (a Detroiter) prescribes for people who wanna start making miracles part of their daily life.

  1. Practice multidimensional, multi-sensory thinking.

  2. Cultivate an understanding that loving divine guidance is always available to you.

  3. Focus on the authentic power that comes from inside.

  4. Develop your connection to all of humanity.

  5. Get to know a dimension beyond cause and effect.

  6. Get motivated by ethics, serenity and quality of life—growth motivation.

  7. Practice meditation. Learn to recharge from within.

  8. Understand that intuition is real, valid, can be honed and can be trusted.

  9. Understand that a violent response to evil is participating in evil and shift your focus to what you want to grow in the world.

  10. Cultivate a sense of responsibility and belonging to the Universe.

  11. Live a life of forgiveness.

  12. Believe in your ability to manifest miracles.

I got almost all of these working the fuck out a 12 step program (or five!). If you don’t believe you have it in you to make real magick, do I have a twelve step program for you! Lol. Hit me up and we’ll talk about it.

Of course, I can always hook you up with a mojo!

Pink Flowers

Pink Flowers is a Black trans artist, peacemaker, educator, and pleasure activist whose work lives at the intersection of embodiment, governance, and cultural transformation. Trained in Theater of the Oppressed, Art of Hosting, and Navajo-informed Peacemaking practices, Pink designs spaces where conflict can be addressed, power can be examined, and joy can be reclaimed.

Her artistic and pedagogical practice draws from African trickster cosmology, Brazilian Joker traditions, shamanic ritual, and cooperative economics. She is the founder of the award-winning Falconworks Theater Company (2005–2021), which used popular theater to build civic capacity and participatory leadership in historically marginalized communities.

Pink served for over five years as a trained Peacemaker in the Red Hook Community Justice Center in Brooklyn, facilitating restorative processes within the New York City court system. From 2015–2018, she worked in cooperative business development with the Center for Family Life, supporting worker-owned enterprises in immigrant communities.

She currently serves as Director of Education and Training for the Inter-Cooperative Council in Ann Arbor, where she leads leadership development and conflict engagement initiatives. Her work has been presented nationally and internationally, including at the Stretch Festival in Berlin and the Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed Conference.

Across ritual, performance, mediation, and institutional design, Pink’s work asks a central question:

What becomes possible when we refuse shame and choose conscious power instead?
