What types of magic should I learn?

I would like to continue learning magick but first I would like to know how many types of magick there are,

Voodoo
Alchemy
Ect..?

I would then like to dive into this list and see what I would like to learn.

Also are there any books you can recommend on the subject you contributed?

i say learn em all, see what they all have in common, and now you have they keys to the ancient powers.

a good place to start is the dark arts by richard cavendish,
once you get the gist of the territory may i suggest medieval grimoires, and maybe a accupunturist and chillin with some voodoo priests

It's not really magic, but nothing more than an image... an image that has lifetimes of research within itself. Great minds have spent decades on even small sections of this image... The Flower Of Life! Enjoy whatever learning paths you trek!!!

Magick predates literacy.

Books not required.

only learn one that ACTUALLY works - sits back and waits

What's Ect?
Depends on what you like I guess? Maybe play some ad&d, always magical...

a reply to: gell1234

Card tricks, sleight of hand, metamorphosis, and levitation

Can you give me a few examples of where and what to learn please?

Depends on what direction you want to go:

1: Learn magic designed to seduce you to gaining control over others psychologically and strengthen traits within you like greed, lust, anger etc = your psyche on it's way down to hell/devolution etc

2: Learn magic designed to improve higher traits in you like love, conscious awareness, empathy to improve your state of being and the state of those around you = psyche on it's way to heaven/evolution etc

I'm attempting the latter as best i can personally and so far the best explanation for this particular path is Gnosticism or the experiential knowledge of the mystical and putting experience to practice. Just my experience of course.

that is the sum of my advice - which " magic " system can be demonstrated to work ?

a reply to: gell1234

"Criticial Thinking" is one...but not a form of "magic". Then you wouldnt keep posting these types of threads.

As I read your threads..its hard to figure what you want...and I dont think youre sure yourself. Good luck though.

What's Ect?

Eck. It's the magical means to speak directly with God and access the akashic library. Whilst still being alive.

What types of magic can you list that work?

a reply to: gell1234

oh FFS-YOU are the delusional muppet asking to learn "magic"-YOU find on that works

That could take years to learn each types of magic just to learn that it doesn't work?


And if you don't believe in magick why are you posting in the thread anyway?

Try Eliphas Levi

Learn something small and insignificant that you can reach easily first. I recommend something easy, but useful.

Learn to perceive chakras. You'll need a couple of willing people who will work with you, though.

It's generally worthless, but it's a way to get started. You need to learn alternate perception to start, that's an easy way to get into it.

eta: you might want to also get into meditation to get tuned up for alternate perception. It's not necessary, but it'll help you learn grounding and centering.
