Magic is natural. Harm none-not even yourself-through its use. Magic requires effeort, you will receive what you put into it. Magic is not usually instantaneaous, spells require time to be effective. Magic should not be performed for pay. Magic should never be used in jest or to inflate your ego. Magic can be worked for your own gain, but only if it harms none. Magic is a divine art. Magic can be used for defense but should never be used for attack. Magic is knowledge-not only of its way and laws, but also of its effectiveness. Do not believe that magic works-know it! Magic is love, all magic should be performed out of love, the moment anger or hatred tinges your magic you have crossed the border into a dangerous world, one that will ultimately consume you.

ABOUT THIS SERIES"Yoga of the West" is an old name scholars gave to Kabbalah and western forms of mysticism as a general classification among certain schools. Given the popularity of such forms of spirituality today it makes sense for a series like this to emphasize the uniformity and universal value of differing cultural spiritual modalities, including religious vogues as seen in the endless vicissitudes of mainstream churches and religions. Many in the west seek mystical release, ecstatic practical spirituality without abandoning their familiar western culture. Esotericism and the western mystery tradition has suffered arguably more liminality than many eastern schools. Whilst alchemy developed in Arabic culture however, and Kabbalah in the Hebrew, Christianity throughout much of its existence has struggled with its own mystical core. This series then brings back to the light from the darkness the esoteric magic, paganism & alchemy of the western mystery tradition for anyone called to this difficult path of human transformation. - #777 Frater R∴C∴, 2018
