Dope boy magic is a term often used to describe the allure and influence of drug dealers, particularly in certain urban communities. It refers to the perception that these individuals possess a certain charisma, charm, and success that can be irresistible to others. The concept of dope boy magic is rooted in the dynamics of the drug trade, which can create a distorted sense of respect, power, and wealth. Drug dealers often display outward signs of affluence, such as expensive cars, flashy jewelry, and designer clothing. This display of material wealth can be captivating to those who may be struggling financially or aspire to a certain lifestyle. Furthermore, the ability to provide drugs to others can create a sense of dependency or loyalty, which can further enhance the aura of power and influence surrounding a drug dealer.
Nyman worked for 20 years on illusionist and mentalist Derren Brown’s TV specials, which fed into the book, and they wanted to replicate in prose that niggling doubt we all have at the back of our minds where we know what we’re seeing is just a trick … but it seems like actual magic.
The lines between fact and fiction blur even further with documented cases of the real-life intelligence services trying to tap into the paranormal, most famously recounted in Jon Ronson s book and then film The Men Who Stare at Goats , an investigation into how American military tried to tap into and weaponise psychic abilities. Women are mystical, magical creatures to me, with a most complex physiological tendency toward loving nurture, which is why it perplexes the heck out of me when I hear about women would tearing each other down.
Furthermore, the ability to provide drugs to others can create a sense of dependency or loyalty, which can further enhance the aura of power and influence surrounding a drug dealer. This can be seen as a form of manipulation, as individuals may become enamored with the idea of associating with someone who appears to have control and resources. The term dope boy magic also encompasses the idea that drug dealers possess a skill set or knowledge that sets them apart from others.
Women Have Magical Powers
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
Women are mystical, magical creatures to me, with a most complex physiological tendency toward loving nurture, which is why it perplexes the heck out of me when I hear about women would tearing each other down.
I wonder if it’s a case of being over-dominant in the masculine function which causes this phenomenon? Knowing some very skilled intuitives, folks who are gifted empathically, and straight-up, down-to-earth grounded-in-their-perception women, it’s easy for me to have faith in women to heal and change.
Amidst our patriarchal way of life (that most complain about at some level which doesn’t personally work in their favor) many do not see it working in themselves. This model persists in all cultures, all over the world, embodied by most men and women, for lack of knowing another way, or lack of seeking one out.
When I witness or hear women tearing one another down- frothing with animosity, resentment, jealousy and untruths, it diminishes my hope-which I’m very keen on maintaining. Hope is the thing with feathers, it’s been said.
Women are creators, the givers of life, Great Mother in the flesh. We are infused with the breath of life, the masculine animation to move and act, and we can use that locomotion for good, if we choose, to elevate our perspectives. We can raise our children with patience and empathy, tend gardens and animal creatures with love and kindness, and treat one another with the respect and admiration we seek for ourselves. And warrior like Artemis on behalf of the voiceless when called to, of course.
It’s not that we women have magical powers, except that creation is pretty dang magical. It’s not that we have sorcery up our sleeves, however, we do have some pretty sharp intuition when we learn to listen. It’s not that we have a direct hotline to God, but that we can learn to sense the divine light which shines through us when we slay old shame at the altar, and move from that light place. I believe all women have the potential to be activated in the womb, after millennia of smackdown, the crossroads for creativity and healing. We each contain the seeds and ancestral wisdom for our own healing and subsequent radiance.
There are a great many people who are not loving themselves, and worse, are not willing to. This is a grand shame for them and for the world at large. There are folks online who will not recognize the flaws in their story until they meet you in person and can shake your fleshy hand and hug your solid bones and see you as a radiant human being. We are not very open to receive online, as we are in person.
Having online identities means that folks don’t get to look you in the eye. They don’t get to see how you move. They don’t know how you parent your children, speak with arrogance or humility, deliver on your claims-unrealistic expectations are formed around the illusion of who you are perceived to be, which can ultimately be disappointing. Or heartening! Depending on who it is.
Something to think about:
Find your familiars.
Go toward those who carry HOPE.
Don’t listen to those who have made careers out of putting other people down.
Honor your MAGICAL POWER as a woman.
Yes, I said MAGICAL POWER.
And I’ll probably get in a bit of trouble for it.

You have no idea how much I needed to hear this today, with fear chittering at my edges over some of those professional critics. (And not even critics, as that implies a desire to see something get better. Just muck-wallowers, intent on bringing folks down a peg. Because that’s productive. o__0.) And magic’s just another name for an awesome that defies comprehension, really. Science thought magnets were magic once upon a time; maybe someday, we’ll be able to put our finger on women’s magic and measure it and know what makes it so we can all get better at it consciously, instead of just feeling the stir and the pull between poles. We ARE magic. Magic beyond measure.
THIS email spoke LOUD and CLEAR to me. Chills … felt called to join Soulodge Earth Medicine School in 2016 because of it. Thank you PIXIE. So much love to you and ALL you do.
Yes. To all of this. Especially: “It’s not that we have a direct hotline to God, but that we can learn to sense the divine light which shines through us when we slay old shame at the altar, and move from that light place. I believe all women have the potential to be activated in the womb, after millennia of smackdown, the crossroads for creativity and healing. We each contain the seeds and ancestral wisdom for our own healing and subsequent radiance.”

I love you so much sister! Tomorrow will be 22 years since you told me my garter was too big and I didn’t believe you. You proving me wrong is the only thing that kept me from crying through the service. Instead Mark and I plotted on how he could pick it up without anybody noticing. I knew when he pulled that off and nobody noticed I had chosen wisely!! What a great memory I get to hold about you on my wedding day.
#remi-gel (wasn’t that the name of the antacid Mark asked for upon waking?) I’m so proud of you!

HA HA! Terri! It’s anniversary time! I love you, woman. You pulled it off. “May I have a remi-gel, please??”
I think there’s a tendency when we’re powerless, to align with the side in power and to behave like one of them. It likely keeps us from being attacked. That’s the story I tell myself about why women tear other women down. I think that they are also externalizing their self-hatred. I feel for them… but I refuse to take their shit. I agree that women have magical powers. In fact, I think every human being was given a seed of magical power… and it can be magnificent when we choose to tend it. I AM A MAGIC TENDER! xo,
Jill
Aho.
Love you Pixie and your blazing heart. May we remember that the magic that we hold within has the power to heal Gaia, holding each other with love.
Celebrating you + your fierce heart today. Let’s talk soon! Bowing to your wisdom + powerful voice. xo
as always, the timing of reading your words is perfect
thank you sister
we ARE magic
and that magic is so much more powerful and effective when we stand together love and light dear sister

This skill set may include street smarts, the ability to navigate dangerous situations, and a keen understanding of the market and demand for drugs in their community. This perceived expertise may further contribute to the allure of the dope boy. However, it is important to note that the glamorization of drug dealers and the concept of dope boy magic can have significant negative consequences. The drug trade is associated with violence, addiction, and the destruction of communities. The romanticization of drug dealers can glorify a lifestyle that ultimately harms individuals and perpetuates a cycle of crime. In conclusion, dope boy magic refers to the allure and influence of drug dealers, often stemming from the perception of wealth, power, and expertise. While this concept can be captivating to some, it is important to recognize the negative consequences and harm associated with the drug trade..
Reviews for "Breaking Through the Glass Ceiling: Women and Dope Boy Magic"
1. John - 2/5 stars - "I had high hopes for 'Dope Boy Magic' but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The plot was lacking depth and the characters felt one-dimensional. It felt like a generic gangster story with no real substance or unique elements. Additionally, the dialogue seemed forced and unnatural, making it difficult for me to connect with the characters. Overall, I was disappointed and wouldn't recommend it."
2. Sarah - 3/5 stars - "I found 'Dope Boy Magic' to be an average read. While the concept was interesting, the execution left much to be desired. The pacing was off, with slow parts dragging on for too long, and the action-packed scenes feeling rushed. The main character lacked development, making it hard for me to care about his journey. On the positive side, the descriptive writing did paint a vivid picture of the environment, but it wasn't enough to overcome the other shortcomings. Not terrible, but not great either."
3. Michael - 1/5 stars - "I couldn't finish 'Dope Boy Magic' as it was packed with clichéd stereotypes and offensive language. The portrayal of the urban lifestyle felt exaggerated and perpetuated harmful stereotypes. The characters were shallow and lacked any real depth, making it impossible for me to invest in their stories. The writing style was choppy, with disjointed scenes that didn't flow well together. I found it to be a disappointing and offensive read."
