This is a series on how magic works. This is not a set of lessons based on one particular path. This is a master course on the ROOT of magical techniques that have proven themselves over years, and thousands of years. We will show you WHY things work and how to do them better, so you can get better results. We will occasionally expose lies and techniques that are outright frauds, but mostly we will take a deep dive into how you can get better results right away from your magic, whether you are a beginner or an expert―an acolyte or an adept.
There will be audio and video components to this series, depending on the need of the instruction. This proto-lesson will set the table so that you are not confused later, in coming lessons.
When discussing religion, philosophy, and magic, terms can get in the way as people tend to take their beliefs as gospel when it comes to how the universe is put together and who’s in charge. Even close friends can vehemently disagree on which deities or angels, demons, spirit guides, ancestors, or nature spirits to work with. The world is FILLED with monotheists, duo-theists, polytheists, nature worshippers, and even atheists. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but that does not mean that everyone is right. The ultimate test of magic is whether it consistently produces powerful results quickly, regularly, and without unnecessary cost or sacrifice.
You see, magic is natural. In fact magic is the very definition of “super-natural.” When we conduct successful magic, we are harnessing the powers of nature to assist us―through prayer or spell casting, meditation or divination. This course may seem "slow." It is nothing of the sort; we just break everything down so you can practice each aspect of magic "every day" and add all of these to your real-world existence. Think of how many self-help books you have read that have not really helped you create the ideal life. This course may be free, but it is worth more than most courses you pay for, if you do the work. (Please do the work—we are here for you every step of the way).
