Start with meditation. Once you understand how to do that, then you could move on to do candle magick.

@Tulius

what should i do first ??

Welcome to the forum! There’s a lot of great information available on this site, and you might find these links useful to begin with:

✦ the Member Resources thread, which has a ton of links to newsletter tutorials on things like opening sigils, attaining Theta-Gamma Synch (TGS), and also practical advice on using the forum, posting images and YouTube videos, etc.;

✦ over 4 years’ worth of good topics in the archives, which can be found using the Search function;

If you don’t know anything about magick whatsoever (which is absolutely fine! We were all there once) then we can help you best if you focus on the goal/s you hope to achieve from learning magick - questions about different techniques may not get you closer to your goal!

By all means research these using the Search function, and of course, normal search engines, but it helps members here to help you, if you try to keep things a bit focused and specific.

Magick is about results, and staying focused on those might save you time and feeling overwhelmed, especially when it comes to the different methods used to contact spirits or build personal power.

Yes i think you should focus on meditation first. Then try candle magic and learn to focus on intent. Magic starts from within

[Tulius]

so meditation it is thanks for the answer i will search the forum on instructions on how to do that properly

The black boarder of your hand if you were a cartoon is where you want to look. [image] Gaze off the side of your hand and relaxing your eyes as much as possible. After a few short moments of maintaining this relaxed gaze on the boarder of your hand a luminous radiance will​ become visible all alon…

And here…I made this for beginners who come here and need it.

Psychic Development for the Magician

I decided to go ahead and cut and paste some of my psychic development methods in it’s own thread as to not have to keep sending it via individual PM. I will start this off with the Original Void meditation. It’s what I have developed it to be the best sort of universal meditation to get you in the “zone” from where one can astral travel, spirit eavesdropping and many other activities one needs to be in a theta state. Binaural beats can be used to enhance the meditative state. This is it, thou…

I’m around if you need help, Cheers!

Worried about your mind getting too distracted and busy? Try this:

Strugling to reach a medatative state

Something I’ve just started doing is a 3-minute “mind dump” - set a timer on your watch or phone, get a pad of paper or a document on your computer, and pour EVERY last thought on your mind into it, from the old lady in the silly hat to your worry about the tax bill to “I’m really pissy and resentful of something so-and-so did” and so on… Drill down, rummage round, and pretend you’re in a competition to make it clear how MUCH is going through your mind, like you score points for the highest num…

For me personally when I started I just jumped right in and tried to evoke king paimon.
I would say this figure out what your goals are, pick a spirit to help you and evoke it with the sigil or enn.
Those first few small successes firstly solidify in your mind that yes this is real and help encourage and motivate you to carry on.

You may adopt parts of the Golden Dawn training: fourfold breathing, study of the Qabalah, LBRP… according to Regardie one could start with (probably in this order) divination and talismans. There is also direct magic.
