It is by my will a lone that I set my mind in motion,
it is by the juice of snafu that my thoughts acquire speed,
the lips acquire stain,
the stain becomes a warning,
it is by my will a lone that I set my mind in motion.

And within this Motion were the Words,
Which shaped the Motion, and gave it Form.
And the Great Speakers were awakened,
And the Great Words were spoken,
And the Great Magick was wrought,
The Birth of the World.

And in the Image of the Great Speakers were we awakened,
And in the Image of the Great Words have we spoken,
And in the image of the Great Magick have we wrought our world.

There is a tower in the Emperor's palace called the Tower of Heroes: a black
tower which rises high into the sky like a spike. At the summit of that tower
hangs the Bell of Lost Souls. It is an ancient thing, massive as a building
and adorned with dark runes, its peal like the scream of an anguished god. It
is tolled but once when a great hero of the Imperium dies. Its wailing moan
of grief lasts long and reaches the ears of millions, and its tones penetrate
the unifying ether of humanity turning the thought of countless billions
towards mankind's loss.

no matter what the laws of life and death forbid. At the end I will be there.

 THE THREE HIGHER ENERGIES
In space there are three more centers of spiritual energy beyond the seven
that exist in time. It is as if they are outside of our time, in a higher
scale of intelligence. Still, in certain circumstances we can tap into them
like inaudible undertones. Unlike the first seven energies, the higher
three are not inherent to our personal systems. There are some kind of
controls placed on these energies. It appears that we can only tap into
them in order to act in history for the benefit of all mankind.
Otherwise they are not available. These higher energies - 8 9 10 -
are not personal energies or potentialities. They are not of our world, but
are of the macrocosm - the legendary "Music of the Spheres". Still,
these centers, and the Powers which come with them, are the key to effective
historical action on Earth in harmony with the rest of the Universe.
The three appear to us as sub-harmonics of an expanded consciousness. They
are links to chains higher up on the evolutionary ladder. The combination
of the three trans-personal energies, with the seven personal ones to make
ten, in effect completes the doubling of the pentatonic octave. It also
explains why some spiritual systems speak of five or ten chakras instead of
seven. We call the three additional energies by the names: Motivation -
Intention - Attentiveness. They bear some similarity to the states we
normally refer to by these names, but have a much more intense, historical
and transpersonal quality.
Unlike the seven chakras which each have a link to a physical system, the
three higher energies are not tied to the body and are not created
internally. They do however have a spatial location relative to the body:
the eighth chakra localizes near the knees, the ninth by the feet, and the
tenth above your head. Like the first seven chakras the upper three are
energy fields which can be thought of as doors to spiritual energy. Usually
these doors can only be tuned into and opened after the first seven have
been opened and balanced. The forces of the Strange Attractor lead to them..
The last three energies flow in the currents of history with the spirit of
the times. When you tune into them you are hurled into social-historical
whirlpools. Do not wish for them, or envy others who have them. It is a
hard burden, and one that is not necessary for a joyous and fulfilled life.
Still, be forewarned as to their existence. You never know when you may be
called upon to serve them.
The eighth energy, Motivation, relates to the body of the earth as a whole.
Its direction is the Northwest and it is associated with the "Power of
Angels" described in the next chapter. Unlike the lower seven chakras, the
upper three do not have a basic potential to be realized in time. They are
spatial only. The Motivation chakra pertains to deep-seated drives to help
humanity, to serve the Earth. The motivation energy is harnessed by taking
responsibility for your understanding and the understanding of others. It
involves the creation of general structures and explanations of the
processes of becoming aware of Being. It provides the energy to Respond to
things far beyond your own personal concerns. With this energy you will
have the capability to respond to, and understand, newly-emerging social and
historical forces. It is said that the eighth energy has an intense feeling
of whole bodies in interchange with the world around you.
The ninth energy, Intention, relates to Light and the Sun. Its direction is
the Northeast and relates to the "Power of the Muses". Motivation can lead
to Intention. With Intention your Motivation energy focuses into particular
Intentions, particular projects and undertakings. The understanding you
gain from historical motivations can lead to a particular destiny and
mission for humanity. The historical Intention energy opens you to
inventiveness on a large scale. With transpersonal Intentions you find and
implement a new vision and communion for all Mankind. This energy provides
the ability to create entirely new technologies, new plans for living, and
to communicate them to the world. A new sacred vision of the Universe can
be invented which serves as a guide and inspiration for all who are open to
change. The projects and vision bring a new communion between peoples and
levels of being. It is said that the ninth energy has an intense feeling of
the aura and force of effectiveness.
The tenth energy, Attentiveness, relates to the prototype sacred God of all
religions. It is the direction of the center going up. Its Power is the
"Being In The Universe". The vocation is that of the historical
"Announcer". Attentiveness has to do with shining, the pure expression of
Awareness. It has to do with the manifestation of the brilliant godlike
core of your being. The careful reader will recall that the fourth chakra
has attention as an aspect of its temporal Quality. This is a similar
quality, yet quite different by what we mean by Attentiveness in the tenth
chakra. The variance is both in degree of intensity and quality.
Just as Intention is based on Motivation, so too is Attentiveness based on
fulfillment of your transpersonal Intent. There is a kind of linear
progression to the realization of the last three social energies. After
Intent you can have a real capacity to announce with credibility, to
proclaim new meaning for all to see and hear. This highest energy allows
you to set a shining example as a living embodiment of the ideals of Truth,
Beauty, Goodness and Justice. It is said that the tenth energy has an
intense feeling like your Higher Self.
As shown in the following chart the three higher energies that exist in
space, like the first seven chakras which exist in time, relate to a
particular direction, I Ching trigram, and level of being or scale of
evolutionary consciousness. This relationship was developed by Wilhelmine
and Arnold Keyserling. Arnold Keyserling's book NEW AGE VISIONS (Volume 1
of the School of Wisdom Series) contains an essential message or vision from
each of the ten powers: Fire, Mineral, Plant, Animal, Sacred Earth,
Ancestors, Natural Spirits, Angels, Muses and the Being in the Universe.
Study of NEW AGE VISIONS will make this material much easier to understand.
The Keyserlings found that the ten chakras also relate to the nine basic
principles, symbolized by the nine planets and our moon, to make up the
tenfold macrocosmic relationship. In esoteric traditions this macrocosmic
link is called the "Ladder to Heaven". Here the planets symbolize a kind of
spheric circuitry between the worlds and levels of evolution. The esoteric
meaning of the planets as symbols on the Wheel is explained in Chance and
Choice (Volume 2 of the School of Wisdom Series). The last chart depicts
each of these spheres and the Power that goes with them. The different
Powers along the "Ladder of Heaven" are all interrelated and form a kind of
"Golden Chain" of evolution with Man in the middle located on Earth.
We appear to be part of a much larger Cosmic reality, a community of beings
from all over the Universe, many much more evolved. Many great works of
inspired poetry and other forms of "sacred revelations" strongly suggest
that communication with these Powers is possible. The natural Laws governing
this area are, however, not well understood. Much more exploration and
investigation into this area is required. Any more discussion at this time
of the Laws in this area would be too speculative. We do not yet have
enough reliable information about the "beyond", about death, channeling and
communication with the "gods or other superhuman or mythological beings".
Some day the Laws behind these phenomena will be better understood, but for
now, this largely remains the realm of revelation and poetry. It is truly
the final frontier of inner space exploration.
 Led by the great being who became known as the Atlantean Amiliaus,
then later known as Thoth,and eventually well known as Jesus much
later,the second wave of our entering into the planes of the Earth-
Mother began. Careful to stay as beings free from the Lower-
vibratory planes or "hardening" into matter,we projected into the
material plane with thought-form bodies that were semi-etheric -
matter,but not matter.Thus were we still able to function on all
vibrational frequencies of the Universal spectrum - free to enter or
leave the limited spectrum of the material plane at will. But most
importantly,we were very intent on maintaining our consciousness of
Oneness so that we would not fall to the same fate as the
humanimals.                                                          
  The manifestion was achieved more or less successfully and as we
became subject to the vibratory conditions which affect this realm,
we saw the numerological representions of the physical plane, 2 and
5,appear in many aspects of our manifestion. For example,the
beginnings of the five races occurred,and later,the 2 sexes each
having 5 appendages(2 legs, 2 arms, 1 head)with 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2
legs, 2 of many organs, ect;and 5 fingers/toes on the arms and
legs.                                                                
  Despite our precautions and great efforts,some of us still fared
not as well as others,losing more consciousness and hardening more
than others. Those who manifested in Atlantis with Amiliaus fared the
best - but for many,this was to be short
lived.                                                               
  Until this time,we were "composite" beings macrocosms of the One.
Our bodies were not as they are now. Our male and female elements had
not yet separated - as composite beings we each had one body that
contained both "sexes",rather than the male and female bodies we have
now. The "sexes" then being just the inner and outer elements,and
outflowing and inflowing parts of our whole being. These
were "soulmate" groups as they are called now. Each composite being
had different numbers of parts (a different number of "soulmates") -
each part a being itself,but fully as one with the whole being. We
were like beings IN WHICH planets orbit a star or the atoms in matter
in which elements of different polarity (male and female) are
attracted to each other,each finding a place where they harmoniously
function together within the whole,as one entity,one being. As such
composite beings,we existed in a state of "Unselfish Love" - constant
flow,outflowing/giving fully of our life energies to each element of
ourselves,within ourselves,and recieving within ourselves - and
without(in our relationship with the One,which each composite
being "orbited",creating the even greater,ultimate composite being of
the One)
Now for the first time,SOME of us had begun to separate within
ourselves manifesting as individual bodies representing the polarity
elements. bodies of opposite polarities then came into existence.
(male or female "sex")                                                        
   The work of freeing the humanimals began. It was arduous and
complex,but it proceeded well - at first. Unfortunately,the
contaminaton of separateness slowly began to creep in. We started
slowly "tasting" many of the things that instantly trappped the
humanimals.                                                          
  Divisions began to occur between Atlanteans,over opinions and
desires. The next symptom of our dis-integration was upon us,and this
disease would eventually bring down Atlantis. Even in this higher
state of manifestation(which we thought would keep us safe from the
loss of consciousness that plagued the humanimals),some of succumbed
to the lure of material sensation. Like the drug addict would behave
with an unlimited supply of drugs,we began to delve more into the
indulgences of this plane until we were lost in it - drowning in it.
In the frenzy of our addiction to physical sensations,we disregarded
all our precautions and wariness. Soon our thoughts and actions had
collected "matter" from the material world that surrounded us... and
hardened our thought-forms making us matter-bound also. Our
consciousness simultaneously slipped and our gradual loss of
consciousness of oneness gave way to that new consciousness of
predominant "separateness". The consciousness of
predominant "separateness" was foreign to us,a totally new
experience. And along with this new consciousness,came new emotions -
some pleasurable some painful. Strange new things like greed,envy,
lust,excitement,fear,desire.                                         
  Some of us  vigoriously strived to maintain a semblance of our
consciousness of Oneness,along with the new consciousness,and we were
able to experience the emotions without being ruled by them. Such
were the children of the Law of
One.                                                                 
  But others lost,or chose to deliberately suppress even a glimmer of
the awareness of the One. These beings became lost,and enmeshed in
separateness. Outside of the consciousness of Oneness,they became
subject to being tossed to and fro by the tides of emotional
onslaught,and ultimatlely became devoted to personal power and
pleasure in this physical plane. These beings became known as the
Sons of Belial(even if they were female).

We live today in a world of great material progress and mechanical
ingenuity. On every hand is flouted the social advantages of the world-wide
communication bequeathed to us by such modern inventions as aviation, radio
and space-craft. Time seems to disappear in the face of such things, and
space dwindles almost to nothing. The peoples of the earth are drawn far
closer together than ever they have been before in recorded history. By way
of paradox, however, simultaneously with this unique advance in scientific
progress, a large proportion of mankind is supremely miserable. It suffers
the pangs of dire starvation because scientific methods have yielded an
over-production of foods and manufactured articles without having solved the
problem of distribution. Yet modern science has become invested with a
nature which originally was not its own. Despite the chaos of international
affairs, and the fear of another catastrophic war present in the minds of
most people, it has become robed in a mighty grandeur, almost of divinity.
Perhaps it is because of this feeling of insecurity and fear that this
condition has come about, for the human psyche is a cowardly thing at core.
We cannot bear to be honest with ourselves, accepting the idea that whilst
we are human we are bound to feel insecurity, anxiety and inferiority.
Instead, we project these fears outwards upon life, and invest science or
any body of knowledge with vast potential of affect so as to bolster up our
dwindling fund of courage. So science has become, thanks to our projected
affect, an authority that hardly dares to be questioned. We cannot bear that
it should be questioned for we must feel that in this subject at least is
authority, unshakeable knowledge and the security we so dearly crave. The
phenomenon is hardly dissimilar to that of a few centuries ago when
religion, formal religion of the churches, was the recipient of this
obeissance and respect. For many people, science has now become their
intellectual keynote, by whose measuring rod--despite their own personal
neuroses and moral defects--all things soever are ruled, accepted or
rejected.
Pursuits no matter of what nature which temporarily are not popularly
favored, even though in them lies the hope for the spiritiual advancement of
the world, or subjects which do not possess the sanction of those who are
the leading lights in the scientific world, are apt thus to receive as their
lot neglect and gross misunderstanding. When many folk are introduced to
Magic, for instance, the first reaction is either one of stark fear and
horror--or else we are greeted by a smile of the utmost condescension. This
is followed by the retort intended to be devastating that Magic is
synonymous with superstition, that long ago were its tenets exploded, and
that moreover it is unscientific. This, I believe, is the experience of the
majority of people whose prime interest is Magic or what now passes as
Occultism. It seems that just as their hope for security and their desire
for unshakeable knowledge becomes projected upon science, so their inner
fears and unfaced terrors are projected upon this maltreated body of
traditional knowledge, Magic. Disconcerting this reaction can most certainly
be, unless criticism and the call for definitions immediately is resorted
to. By these means alone may we who champion Magic obtain a begrudged
hearing.
Science is a word meaning knowledge. Hence any body of knowledge, regardless
of its character--whether ancient, mediaeval, or modern--is a science.
Technically, however, the word is reserved primarily to imply that kind of
knowledge reduced to systematic order. This order is encompassed by means of
accurate observation experimentally carried out over a period of time, the
classification of the behaviour of natural phenomena alone, and the
deduction of general laws to explain and to account for that behaviour. If
this be the case, then Magic must likewise claim inclusion within the scope
of the same term. For the content of Magic has been observed, recorded and
described in no uncertain terms over a great period of time. And though its
phenomena are other than physical, being almost exclusively psychological in
their effect, they are of course natural. General laws, too, have been
evolved to account for and explain its phenomena.
A definition of Magic presents a rather more difficult task. A short
definition which will really explain its nature and describe the field of
its operation seems practically impossible. One dictionary defines it as
"the art of applying natural causes to produce surprising effects." Havelock
Ellis has ventured the suggestion that a magical act is a name which may
well be given to cover every conceivable act in the whole of life's span. It
is Aleister Crowley's suggestion that "Magic is the science and art of
causing changes to occur in conformity with will." Dion Fortune slightly
modified this by adding a couple of words-- "changes in consciousness." The
anonymous mediaeval author of The Goetia, or Lesser Key of King Solomon has
written a proem to that book where occurs the passage that "Magic is the
highest, most absolute, and most divine knowledge of Natural philosophy . .
.. True agents being aplied to proper patients strange and admirable effects
will thereby be produced. Whence magicians are profound and diligent
searchers into Nature."
Have these definitions taught us anything of a precise nature about the
subject? Personally I doubt it very much; all are too general in their scope
to tend towards edification. Let us therefore cease seeking definitions and
consider first of all certain aspects or fundamental principles of the
subject, Afterwards, perhaps, we may have sufficient trust worthy and
evidential material at our disposal to formulate anew a definition which may
convey something intelligible and precise to our minds.
Within the significance of the one term Magic are comprehended several quite
independent techniques, as I shall mention on a later page, in another
essay. It may be advantageous to examine some of these techniques. Before
doing so, however, it might be well to consider a part of the underlying
theory. I know many will say by way of criticism of this discussion, that it
is nothing but primitive psychology--and only the psychology of
auto-suggestion at that. There will be a decided sneer, barely concealed.
However, this objection does not completely dispose of the subject by any
means. A very great deal more remains to be said. Not that I would deny that
in Magic the process of self-suggestion is absent. Most certainly it is
present. But what I must emphasise here is the fact that it is present in a
highly evolved and elaborate form. It almost makes the technical approach of
some of our modern experimenters look puerile and undeveloped. We are not to
suppose for one moment that the innovators and developers of the magical
processes in days gone by were naive or fools, unaware of human psychology
and the structure of the mind itself. Nor that they refrained from facing
many of the psychic problems with which we nowadays have had to deal. Many
of the early magicians were wise and skilled men, artists and sages,
well-versed in the ways and means of influencing and affecting people.
We know that they understood a good deal about hypnotism and the Induction
of hypnoidal states. It is highly probable that they speculated, as have
done innumerable modern psychologists, upon technical methods of inducing
hypnoidal states without the aid and help of a second person. But they soon
became aware of all the obstacles and barriers that beset their path. And
these were many. I believe that in Magic they devised a highly efficient
technical procedure for overcoming these difficulties.
When Coue some years ago burst upon our startled horizon with his
spectacular formula of "day by day in every way I am getting better and
better" many believed that here at last we were presented with the ideal
method of getting down to brass tacks, of finally being able to impinge upon
the Unconscious mind, so called. Hundreds of thousands of people surely must
have gone to bed at night, determined to induce a relaxation that was as
nearly perfect as they could obtain, and attempted to enter the land of
slumber while muttering sleepily the magical formula over and over again.
Others listened to music in dimly lighted rooms until they experienced some
sense of exaltation and then mumbled the healing phrase until they felt that
surely some favourable result must occur.
Assuredly some lucky people got results. They were, however, few and far
between. Some of these did overcome certain physical handicaps of illness,
nervousness, so-called defects in speech and other mannerisms, and thus were
able to better themselves and their positions in the world of reality.
Others were less fortunate--and these were by far the greater number, the
great majority.
What was the difficulty that prevented these people, this large majority,
from applying the magical formula until success was theirs? Why were they
not able to penetrate that veil stretched between the various levels of
their minds.
Before we answer these questions--and I believe that Magic does really
answer them--let us analyze the situation a little more closely.
The unconscious in these systems of so called practical psychology,
metaphysics, and auto-suggestion, is considered a slumbering giant. These
systems hold that it is a veritable storehouse of power and energy. It
controls every function of the body every moment of every day, nor does it
sleep or tire. The heart beats seventytwo times per minute, and every three
or four seconds our lungs will breathe in oxygen and exhale carbonic acid
and other waste products. The intricate and complex process of digestion and
assimilation of food which becomes part and parcel of our very being, the
circulation of blood, the growth, development and multiplication of cells,
the organic resistance to infection--all these processes are conceived of as
immediately under the control of this portion of our minds of which we are
not normally aware--the Unconscious.
This is only one theoretical approach to the Unconscious. There are other
definitions of its nature and function which altogether preclude the
practical possibility of resorting to suggestion or auto-suggestion for
coping with our ills. For example, there is the definition provided by Jung
with which in many ways I am in sympathy, and it might be worlh our while to
quote it at some length.
He wrote in Modern Man in Search of a Soul that "man's unconscious likewise
contains all the patterns of life and behaviour inherited from his
ancestors, so that every human child, prior to consciousness, is possessed
of a potential system of adapting psychic functioning . . . While
consciousness is intensive and concentrated, it is transient and is directed
upon the immediate present and the immediate field of attention; moreover,
it has access only to material that represents one indivdual's experience
stretching over a few decades.... But matters stand very differently with
the unconscious. It is not concentrated and intensive, but shades off into
obscurity, it is highly extensive and can juxtapose the most heterogeneous
elements in the most paradoxical way. More than this, it contains, besides
an indeterminable number of subliminal percepions, an immense fund of
accumulated inheritance-factors left by one generation of men after another,
whose mere existence marks a step in the differentiation of the species. If
it were permissible to personify the unconscious, we might call it a
collective human being combining the characteristics of both sexes,
transcending youth and age, birth and death, and, from having at his command
a human experience of one or two million years, almost immortal. If such a
being existed, he would be exalted above all temporal change; the present
would mean neither more nor less to him than any year in the one hundredth
century before Christ; he would be a dreamer of age-old dreams and, owing to
his immeasurable experience, he would be an incomparable prognosticator. He
would have lived countless times over the life of the individual, of the
family, tribe and people, and he would possess the living sense of the
rhythm of growth, flowering and decay."
Granted this kind of definition, the whole idea of suggesting ideas to this
"dreamer of age-old dreams" sounds utterly presumptuous. Only a simpleton,
living a superficial intellectual and spiritual life, would have the
audacity to dare give this "being" suggestions relative to business,
marriage, or health. Such a concept then immediately rules out the use of
suggestion, demanding more sophisticated approaches.
For the time being, and only for the purpose of this disscussion, let us
grant validity to the first concept of the unconscious as being a titan who
will respond to suggestions if the latter can be gotten through to him. The
theory goes, therefore, that if, in the face of some bodily ill or
disfunction, we could literally tell the Unconscious what we want done,
these results could occur in answer to our concentrated wish. Theoretically,
the theory sounds all right. Unfortunately, for one thing, it does not take
into consideration the fact that early in life an impenetrable barrier is
erected within the psyche itself. A barrier of inhibition is built up
between the unconscious and the conscious thinking self--a barrier of
prejudices, false moral concepts, infantile notions, pride and egotism. So
profound is this armoured barrier that our best attempts to get past it,
around it, or through it are utterly impotent. We become cut off from our
roots, and have no power, no ability, to contact the deeper, the
instinctual, the more potent side of our natures.
The various schools of auto-suggestion and metaphysics all have different
theories and techniques with regard to overcoming this barrier. That some
people do succeed is unquestionable. One meets almost every day an
individual here and there who is able to "demonstrate"--to use the ghastly
word they so glibly employ. These few are able to impress their Unconscious
minds with certain ideas which fall as though upon fertile soil, fructify
and bring salutary results. These we cannot deny--much as sometimes we would
like to, so offensive is their smugness, their dogmatic attitude, their
unthinkingness.
But by far the great majority of their devotees fail lamentably. They have
not obviously been able to overcome this difficulty by the employment of the
usual routines
I am sure the ancient sages and magi knew of these problems--knew them very
well. I am also quite sure that they realized that the technique they used
was, amongst other things, a process of suggesting a series of creative
ideas to themselves...............

if you interested in physical training in the
magical arts..... occult symbols, and history as in the reasoning of how magic works, not the shaman meditation and yogi stuff but the mechanics of association
witchcraft  mixures, powers, paganism, wicca, and tools and workings as others only begin to explain in book, witchcraft is a vast center of energy about the self of witch, but it has quite an easy pattern to how it works as witch self " Secrets Taught to me by a californian coven witch " during the early 80's " before wicca was founded as a common word... and buckland had only "The Witches Bible" out...
 wizardryl : The inner workings of being a wizard, the symbols tools and talismans and how to read other scripts and codes and how wisdom and power grows in one from magi to mage to wizard, and keys to the learning of all levels of magic from psi-electro telekenetic to temporal dimention apexs, but thats more for fun.......(k)mart stuff
druid: The path of these sages and priest that came from a womanly , woody nature and their secrets of the 4 flowers and rituals of the early dawn, keys to their warrior ritual mirrors and the secret of Druidism
and how wood met metal and gave birth to fire, which in turn grew earth and air...."those of you that know martial philosophy" know this puzzle..
but you would be quite surprised how the druids got it....
and a few druid tricks up my sleave....

Whats darker then dark?  well in magic there is none, it is just the intensity you look at something or embody it....
 
white magic ; lol it is just supportive kenetic energy charged up and kept stored like a battery, until used by an emotional source
 
black magic:, lol again, it is dispersed energy over and over to create a shell of netro-negitive ions to act as a shield to the kenetic emotional source, and has to be done often, never stored unless using a talisman or amulet,
 
grey magic: lol again, this is neither charge or dispersed energy but the shell is created do to another source, this other source has either field and uses them as the grey magic directs.....
 
lol white, grey, black, Magic has no color as you might have read but it does have charge and reflection to its properties,
white can get energy from a spiritual source, but it mainly doesn't
and black can get from demonic or chaotic, but mainly doesn't
because in the world of magic emotion doesn't apply unless it is used in charging, like the emptyness of space is empty from far away, but when you enter it, you will see it has quite alot of stuff......lol
 
grey....is just pick and choose, but they lose in the end, because they can't quite gain balance as easy as the rest.......
 
energy is energy, life is life, ......
 
magic doesn't fight, only ideals do........
magic k or not, helps you only to know and feel and see on a level that others would say is dreaming, but what.....a dream.....lol

now you done it you awoke a dragon, heck most do as they practice magic, so fear not....
 
dragons are the inner and outer connective energy to the user of magic, some choose personal others spirits, others land life, others deamons, but the powerful wise ones are choosen by dragon
dragons are adviser, and secret teachers, they show up when you don't want them and leave when you do, they are quite stubbron,
How do i know i have a dragon and can call it?
good question, dragons come only when the magicuser has hit their limit and have touched on their area, then they will show their presence in 3 ways.....don't be scare..... "remember your studying adept, not wizard, you have to await sorry...."

well, in here you learn adept magic, spells are for witches and gypsy
oh, you are a witch or gypsy, cool goto my witch page and visit on another website, here we don't do spells we work, life/death and energy....Sign says "master adepts" thats like mini wizard or semi mage.....but your welcome to listen,
 
spells take person magic, and offer little return but the cast, and those that use them are just learning magic(k) even an advanced witch knows this,
spellcasting is just a form of focual emotional kenetic charge, any seasoned adept can bat it away, or bind to another, or reflect it...
"how do i become a seasoned adept?" well, first study the powers of sygils and the the elemental ritual workings and their keys, talk to a dragon of magic(k) and bind with him/her for the secret workings of walls and then get your mini staff, not to hard is it......and if you want create a tome in that time, lol one of many........
Spellcasting depends on the energy of the user and their abulity to connect to the thing they want to cast on, even seasoned magicusers, not adept.... have that problem.......
If your lucky you won't have that problem, magic isn't all focus
insight and eyes,and any fool that tells you that they only know dominational magic (psion) a term refering to psychic waves and even psychic waves can be walled or reflected........

In meditation you learn to harness the self for healing this is good, and create pathways this is also good, but in magic(k) you aren't tapping into yourself your tapping into your area, meditation doesn't do, you need to gain charge by doing the rituals of charging, not cerimonial rites, but rituals to prepare the connect to what magic(k) is, cerimonial has it's place in the balance, but not in ritual magic or charge ( saddly the magicuser only looks good doing it ) nothing truely happens.....much like meditational yoga, like i said it is good, but bad in magic.......to many ways into you, not enough walls or fields.....

Magic(k)'s the intangable (tangable) let me explain,
it can be made in 3 forms.....
 
tangable ; drawing from another or source of energy
intangable : being drawn from by the same you seek to draw from
absolute : timing of from draw to gaining, the source
 
magic has 3 fields of this....
 
walls; energy created from the confines of the source to generate reflection and created by an older field before one can draw....
force: the power to channel in focus and direct it to the one who is nearest the individual using
charging: the state at which the source gathers the other fields of energy besides that of personal energy and created a mini source by using a tool, (for beginner), talismans for adepts, and objects of transferance(living or dead) for magiesters
 
I will not reveal all the secrets of magic(k), because it can get quite complexing, and it is best to study all the fields then use them....

Every book is useful, as is every message, you can use it to prop up your table or a chew toy for your dog or cat, no really if books were so good, then why all the missing information, authors right huh,
no, because even in subjects that are rare, they have critics and personal direction, my advise, skim the book or paper and what speaks to you is the message you need to know, study in magic means to define, not re-write catalogs of books, as i said every book is useful.........

First off, this is not a roleplaying school of magic or learning,
 
Second, all are welcomed her to look, and study or just connect,
"If this was a Hogwarts, then the muggle nation is in trouble" because we hold back nothing but the hardest magic..... here
"as a beginner though you have to pase yourself, and as an adept, perhaps you skipped to the collecting for your grimore, either way
your learning something, In here i plan to show you the ropes,
and see if you can climb"study" or swing"master" if not i will just be burning your rope, Don't take it personal but it's the way of education,
packing your bags to go home huh, well comeback when you want, we will be here...........
 
nice to see your back.......have a seat.....
