ASE / (ashe) - [pronounced = "ahh-SHAY"] - is a Yoruba word meaning command, power, and authority. Depending upon the context in which the word is being used, ASE is the ability to make whatever statement you make come to pass or happen. It can also mean the ability to compel nature (animate and inanimate objects) to bend to your will [magick = "What is a Magical Operation? It may be defined as any event in nature which is brought to pass by Will. any act designed to cause intentional change... Every intentional (Willed) act is a Magical act... Magick is the Science of understanding oneself and one's conditions. It is the Art of applying that understanding in action." - Crowley] This type of ASE or power can be either God-given (a power one is born with) or acquired. Aquired ASE can be further divided into categories. There is ASE that is: physically prepared, such as herbs and formulas; passed on psychically, via touch, swallowing of objects, a gaze, or other methods; developed through austerities, observances of fasts and penance; regular practice of a particular process or routine or potent ritual (religion), such as chanting a sacred name or like the regular worship of one's Orisha [a spirit which reflects one of the manifestations of Olodumare (God) in the Yoruba spiritual or religious system. Generally speaking ASE could be in the form of the spoken word, the nature of an object, the aura that an entity possesses, or anything peculiar to a certain character.
