The True Power of Magick

The true power of Magick is power over yourself and the ability to achieve whatever you desire.  It is actually more scientific that people realize.  I love the quote that greets us at the first lesson:

No one can give you magickal powers,

You have to earn them.

There is only one way to do this:

Practice, Practice, Practice!

Even though the study of Magick may not be classically scientific, we can approach learning or practicing it as a scientific process where we take notes and detail what takes place.  This is why it's important to keep track of the work in journals.

So I have been writing down the dreams, and today I finally created the Ritual Magick Journal template in Word.  I am ready to go!

Today I read further and discovered that the next "ritual" is to be performed following the relaxation ritual.  It is called the Tarot Contemplation Ritual.  Basically, it consists of shuffling certain Major Arcana cards, draw one, and contemplate it for no more than 3 minutes.  Following that, write in the journal any thoughts, feelings, impressions that arose when contemplating the card.

I like that the lessons begin with dreaming and with Tarot.  I also love any book that recommends you read other books in order to have a different view of the material, or to go more in depth in a particular subject.

So far it's been easy and enjoyable.
