Seeking a lateral move from armchair magi to magi

@DarkestKnight

Armchairs are all theory, with no practical application. They tend to read a lot and argue over inconsequential minutia, instead of experiencing the magick in action.

They’re a lot like English majors, actually. There are scholars, for example, who build entire careers on a single interpretation of one particular element in a classic work, and they will defend and argue their stance against everyone who contradicts them, even if that person is the author whose work they are actually interpreting.

Yeah, that is still pretty much me. I just have to find a step by step ritual and follow it daily, like the Bornless Ritual. Listening to that as soon as I find the Golden Dawn and find the rite to read along (and figure out what he is doing from the audiotape, beyond the enochian where I have no clue on).

Basic Skills :
Exercise the imagination
Do meditation for mind training
Energy work for the learning shaping astral energy and to create a power in the higher realms (like chakra working, kundalini working, mantra working etc.)

Next level basic Skills :
Evocation - You need to develop extra Skills like astral senses
Soul Travel
Divination

And choose a couple of the freestyle magickal work :
Spell working - Witchraft based on this type of
Sigil working - Chaos magick based on this type of
Mantra magick - Eastern magick traditions based on this type of (Like Hindu and Islamic magick)
Ceremonial magick (like LBRP) - Western magick traditions based on this type of mostly (or not, I m not sure)

This is just a thoughts from another newbie, and then you can buy tools needed (you dont need buy all things needed, just buy possible things) or just develop some skills and train yourself to doing rituals in astral temple

Okay, add this to my notes.

Well, I have successfully done a couple of petitions, one to Bime, one to Ipos.
Nearly pacted Ipos. May still, not sure atm as conditions have not vastly changed for me to build a suitable temple.
A couple successful Novena or Candle rituals.
Now back to Neophyte and Zelator work.

Actually the three godlike power are what Theoricus’, Practicus’ and Philosophis’ shout be able to do, let alone and adept. ACM speaking there.
