Greetings, earthlings, I wish you no harm!
I started practicing the rituals of the ceremonial magic within the grimoires at the youthful age of 19. To me, they described a several hundred year old ritual system of conjuring, working with, and manifesting results by gaining control over various legions of natural, cosmic, or earthly spirits. To me, this just made sense. I did not realize that it was strange for a 19 year old to be doing this. Nor was I aware that, in the adult world, people generally think of people like me as “kooks,” “con-men,” or “crazy.” In fact, I am a scientist and dedicant of the western occult traditions of magical ritual. This is real, historical, recorded phenomena. For all of human history, people have been conjuring spirits.
As I pace around in my makeshift parlor (as my life is currently chaotic, with me being 23 and all,) I am constantly conscious of the profound impact magic can have on the life of the practitioner. The practitioner who works the rituals will, INEVITABLY, witness change happen firsthand in their life. This is the reason why people devote their lives to the occult sciences, or flee in fear.
I have spoken to, seen, and been aware of otherworldly spirits since I was a child. At times, this awareness thrilled me and exposed me to the realities of the energetic, limitless universe; it also terrified and haunted me throughout years of sleepless nights. I am aware of the spectrum of energies which exist to be tapped into within our current realm of existence. I have witnessed, time and time again, miracles happen because of magic. It is time for some of my work to be passed on to sincere students of the Arts.
I offer my new course in ceremonial magic as the beginning of a new, workable system. A transportable practice of ceremonial magic intentionally designed to stay true to the traditions handed down by the grimoires, and be structurally sound for effective praxis for groups across the world. There are many who have wished for a magician who has explored the arcane Arts of Thaumaturgy to offer teaching. At this moment in time, such a teacher exists.
My biggest excitement is to introduce the student bearing some natural or developed psychic intuition to the realm of ceremonial magic’s deeper beauties which have not been published, and, hopefully, won’t ever be, for those outside of a ceremonial magical lodge.
