| Quote: | Basic Magick
Magick is the art and science of causing change, whether internal or external, in conformity with the Will. It is a field of study that touches virtually all aspects of existence. There is no ONE correct system of magick, as there are an infinite number of ways in which to accomplish any one thing. Reality is Infinite. All things are interconnected.
Beginners: if you're looking to learn the real essence behind developing serious skill in magick, then I highly suggest obtaining and working through Franz Bardon's text "Initiation Into Hermetics." (Don't skip anything!) Magick is a psychic skill that involves conscious use of energy/consciousness to cause change in conformity with the Will. You could consider that text the equivalent of psychic-weightlifting. It's not for the lazy. While I won't say that any one book will necessarily help anyone accomplish anything (since magick isn't learned solely from a book, it's learned through practice and hard work), that text at least points you into a 'real' and practical direction and shows you what the real work (the essence of it) is like behind all the glorified symbolism of most of today's convoluted ceremonial systems.
