Over the last 2 years, the one question I get asked more than any other single question from listeners is “How do I get started doing Magic?” To start the year off right, I would like to provide a few insights and perhaps some inspiration which hopefully should help one enter the temple of Magic with ease. Pull up a chair and lend an ear, I’m about to share a few things.
Show Notes
- Precognitive Dreamwork and the Long Self by Eric Wargo
- Six Ways: Approaches and Entries for Practical Magic by Aidan Wachter
- Gary Lachman has a series of Lectures about Esotericism and the Evolution of Consciousness. When people ask me for recommendations for Esoteric and/or Occult Thought as opposed to Practical Magic, these Videos are where I point them. Must Watch. Part I – Part II – Part III – I mean it, these are must watch videos and the directions that one can head from here are amazing. Chuck out your copies of The Secret Teachings of All Ages, this is the actual Occult History of the Western world. Happy journeys future Occult Philosopher!
- The Secret Teachers of the Western World by Gary Lachman
- Occult History Part I and Part II by John Michael Greer
- So… You’d like to get your hands a little dirtier? Not mentioned in the episode but still beyond worthy as a read is Lee Morgan’s Standing and Not Falling: A Sorcerous Primer in Thirteen Moons
What Magic is This? 
Great podcast. I’ve been dabling for nearly 20 years and have been an armchair magician. Recently though I’ve decided to get out of the Armchair and start walking the talk.

Also kinda of topic. Could you talk about the gallery of magic sometime? Seems to be a big following on the internet.

Not really very much to say. Read a few of them and it’s a Dark Fluff Cash grab of gift shop magic for the most part.

Haven’t listened for a few months – newborn baby and work lol – and just had a coworker ask me how to do magic (I’m open about my own practice to coworkers). Immediately went here, and lo and behold, ‘how to start’ is the first thing that catches my eye. 10/10 best synchronicity ever.
