Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
This is one of the three central aphorisms of Thelema, a Western esoteric and occult spiritual philosophy and new religious movement founded in the early 1900s by Aleister Crowley, the notorious English writer, mystic, occultist, and all-around polymath.
The word Thelema is the English transliteration of the koine Greek noun θέλημα, will, from the verb θέλω (thélō): to will, wish, want or purpose. The other two aphorisms are Love is the law, love under will and Every man and every woman is a star, and we’ll get back to these during the course of the months we will spend together.
Magick begins with ‘doing’, and after almost three entire decades of calling myself a magician, I am still convinced that it's the doing that must be at the core of magical practice. Else, it’s just philosophy or theology.
This course will focus first and foremost on all the things you can do to become a magician.
We will still have to go a bit deeper in places so that you can get a good early understanding of the reasons why we practice these rituals and techniques. I will try to keep that to a minimum, unless you ask for more, of course!
We all live very busy lives in increasingly small spaces, but this course will teach you that to practice magick you don’t need fancy tools or robes or marble halls. Magick is truly for everyone, because all you need to practice it is a will set in stone.
With each week, you will add a new tool to your magical arsenal. You will learn:
the nature of the Body of Light.
what Prana is and how to harness it.
the Four Hermetic Elements that make up the foundations of the Magical Pyramid.
the Quintessence.
the Pentagram & the Hexagram rituals
the Astral Light invoked through the Middle Pillar.
the rituals of Thelema and the gnosis of the New Aeon.
The benefits gained from bringing Magick into your life are manifold. You will gain a deeper understanding of your role in the universe, the ability to communicate with the Other, and the wisdom that comes from such relationships.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner,
Magick Without Tears offers a transformative journey of self-discovery.
By the end of the course, you'll have a strong foundation in magick that you can build upon for years to come.
