New journal for working through Advanced Magick for Beginners by Alan Chapman, and beyond. For this journal I am acting as if I am a beginner again and relearning the fundamentals. This journal probably won’t only be focused on that one book, as the system is very porous. I might use other books/systems to complete the various exercises.
I was considering whether to throw in some daily ritual and/or meditation in addition to the book. I decided against because I’ll be picking these things up as I work through the book. So I reset my practice, with some exceptions. Things I’ve already started, I’ll continue until they are complete. One of those being Financial Transformation Magick. The other being the inner work experiments I started in the previous journal.
For this journal I’ll be posting once per each exercise upon their completion, instead of monthly. I’ll be keeping silent about the magick I do until I receive a result, and still stay silent a couple days more. So for practical exercises you won’t hear about them until 3 days after the results manifest.
My Current practice:
Advance Magick for Beginners
Before I start reading I try to empty my cup and let go of all the opinions I have about magick. As best as I can I go in with beginner mind. I read until I reach an exercise and then do that exercise, many exercises take days or more to complete.
Today’s exercise was to start a magical diary. I got a blank notebook to use for one part of that diary, but the other part is this one, the one you are reading.
Forum Magick
I started some experiments with doing magick on the forum and my plan was to continue. I put it off for just a little while and… it was nearly two years ago! Whoops. So I am restarting that. After I successfully complete a practical exercise I want to repeat it again for people on this forum. That will be a separate thread.
Financial Transformation Magick
Evening inner work
Right now I am experimenting with Internal Family Systems. If it goes well I let you guys know.
