Excitatory Actions and Magic
Excitatory actions are the second basic type of action that a magician can use to induce an altered state of mind. Excitatory actions involve hyperstimulating yourself through activity. A runner’s high is an example of an excitatory action. The adrenalin caused by the running helps to stimulate euphoric state for the runner, which in turn [...]
Inhibitory Actions and Magic
Inhibitory actions are one of the two basic types of magical actions a person can use to induce an altered state of mind, and in that state of mind do a magical working.

An update on the magical experiments course
This is the first year of the magical experiments course, and we are just a month in to it, but already attendees are getting a lot out of the process.

The Process of Magic
Magic is a process. Strip away all the religious trappings, esoteric terminology, and ceremonial tools and what you have is a process that people use to turn possibility into reality. Understanding this process is all you really need to successfully do magic. Everything else is icing on the cake, and yet, as I’ll show that [...]

What information do you draw on for your magical work?
I recently posted a couple of comments on invocation via Twitter and what I do to do a successful invocation. Someone else responded and mentioned how using Astrological information can be useful. I agree it can be useful, but I also admitted that I never used that information in my workings. Some people will use [...]
