Course Description
Magick exists in hundreds of paths and forms, but all methodologies tend to reach across the lines of what we consider to be physical; most are connected with the idea of manipulating energy, in one form or another. Practicing magick is receiving renewed attention as people have begun to realize that we all have power to create and mold our lives to our own specifications. Magick implies the human ability to work with the paranormal. Most of the uses, meanings and understandings of the nature of energy have been misunderstood, forgotten, masked, or remained hidden for centuries. Now that modern science has discovered that there is no such thing as physicality, in the old sense of its meaning, our collective interest in working with the forces of energy has been heightened.
When you complete this Magick Basics course, you will have a well-rounded knowledge of the practice of magick and how to go about setting up your own practice. This course provides a comprehensive overview of many different traditions, as well as the various forms of Magick. Divination, spells, rituals, meditations and tools will help you decide what kind of magick you are interested in practicing. With information drawn from hundreds of sources, this course is great fun, highly informative and a practical guide for those who love Magick.
Course Lessons
Lesson 1: What is Magick?
Magick is the science and art of causing change on a material as well as a spiritual level to occur in conformity with will by altered states of consciousness.
Lesson 2: What Does Energy Have To Do With Magick?
Magick has everything to do with energy. Everything in the universe is imbued with energy that resides within and without the physical form.
Lesson 3: Ritual Magick
A magick ritual is a ceremonial process by which is repeated in order to increase its strength and effectiveness. Every ritual has three parts: an opening, or invocation, the ritual itself, and a closing.
Lesson 4: Spells, Chants, Symbols
Casting spells is one activity that is perfectly suited to your sacred circle. However, spells can be done in any quiet place where you will not be disturbed.
Lesson 5: Herbs, Botanicals and Oils
As you browse the Internet for oils to use with your rituals, you will find hundreds of dealers and vendors who offer oils for the purposes of anointing and focusing energy.
Lesson 6: Divination
Every person in the world would like to be able to see into the future. As mere humans, we are often at a loss as to what to do, which direction to take, and how to proceed, since we have no way of knowing what the flow of life is bringing to us.
Lesson 7: Pagan and Wiccan Traditions
Not all Pagans are Wiccans. Pagan is a more general term that originally referred to those who lived rurally and did not adapt Christianity as their primary religion. Wicca is a Pagan practice, but so are many other practices.
Lesson 8: Beginning Your Magickal Practice
Educate yourself with every resource you can get your hands on, and then feel what harmonizes with you, and what does not.
Lesson 9: Safety and Protection
Especially in the occult arts, the question of potential harm and negativity arises naturally. Certainly, history reminds us that "witchcraft" was once feared and punished by those who did not understand it.
Lesson 10: Vocabulary/Glossary
Here is some basic vocabulary used in magick.
