About Magick & Magicians.

Low & High Magick.

Just some thoughts about reasons for magick & it's types.

A one way of categorizing magick is like with Maslov's Pyramid of Needs,

Low Magick is especially useful for fulfilling low, basic needs - for food, for money, for company, for protection - for example. This blog's author also studies Witchcraft/Wicca for these practical reasons - mostly from a famous Witch's - Judika Illes' books, as seems wise - for now at least.

High Magick - for example the Golden Dawn's Rituals - is useful when the lower needs are fulfilled - to transform consciousness, develop one's energetic body, to become someone better, more powerful & meaningful spiritually.

i read that the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is protecting people against Daesh (also known as ISIS terrorist organization, but Isis is also egyptian godess - so prefer to use word Daesh for them). It's chivalrous to protect women endangered by Islam's Terror as well.


This blog's autor's approach.

i wish to study both Low & High Magick concurrently, as well as Buddhism.

For low magick i wish to study Gardnerian Wicca/Witchcraft, as well as Houdoun Voodoo - but i prefer to use words: 'Practical Arts' instead of 'Low Magick' - mostly as a form of respect. My goal is to have quick, practical but still ambitious start into the esoteric way.

i think that way i'll help more beings faster - both young and old. it's most important for helping older, more powerful beings - so my magicks can blossom faster (as a black lotus, metaphorically) and be useful for them as well, before they die. As i'll serve & help them, i'll learn as well, i think.

i think both practical as well as ambitious systems of magick can be compatible, can be integrated with a proper understanding & a proper effort.

i think that solely low magick practicioneers stand no chance to those who combine low magick with high magick & integrate these into an a united, coherent system. How? These people can have many younger assistants who mature in esoterics fast, for example - to counter low magick threats against older. Their own wisdom, experience, skill & power counts still, as well.

i think i'll find my way, my way of the 'Art of Magick & Light' - both practical & ambitious, both low & high, both buddhist & esoteric, both mysticism, rituals & spells - even if i understand very little as of yet.
