Magick is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will.
--Aleister Crowley
Section I
Introduction to Metaphysics
"New Age" philosophy is actually thousands of years old.
What follows is a Biblical reference to out-of-body travel:
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven-whether
in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this
man was
caught up into Paradise--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know,
God knows-- and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.
--2 Corinthians 12
From hexes to faith healing, the mystic powers of the human mind
have been recorded since the beginning of history. To learn such
skills, one must supposedly join a cult, meet at midnight in
abandoned buildings, speak in an ancient tongue, and sacrifice
innocent animals -- but this is not so. The long-hidden secrets of
witchcraft are easily learned and understood, if only one is willing to
discipline himself in the art. There are no books to sign in blood, no
souls to sell, and no secret handshakes to learn. In fact, when
applied correctly, metaphysics is as simple and safe as baking a
cake.
Of course, magic doesn't really exist -- at least until our scientists
can prove it, anyway. As far as authenticity goes, I will not state here
that magic is anything more than a theory. Angelfire cannot possibly
be expected to validate my claims, nor take responsibility for
someone who took the course far too seriously. Therefore, consider
this course to be an entertaining psychological study in the theory of
metaphysics, written by a scholar of the field. If you are offended in
any way by the subject matter, then you may complain to me
at empress_norton@hotmail.com (or, likewise, ask me questions).
This course will attempt to teach you the core methods of magic that
witches and other occultists use. A great deal of this is what is known
as ESP, so you may also consider the following to be a training
course in unlocking your hidden senses. You will also come to
understand the theories behind out-of-body travel, spell-casting, and
communicating with spirits. Since most of these topics are rarely
delved into in Western philosophy, an open mind is essential.
When researching metaphysics, three sorts of traditions will stand
out. First, there are the ancient texts with illegible gibberish in dead
languages. Second, the feel-good visualizations of New Age
authors, talking much but saying little. Third, the spiritual cults that
claim you must follow their religion specifically before you can learn
witchcraft. This course avoids all three traps. I've explained
everything in layman's terms, and avoided "fluff" as much as
possible. If you wish, you can apply the skills herein to whichever

A small bit of
personal proof:
Meeting my chakras
Shortly after going
out-of-body for the first
time, I noticed some
strange feedback from
certain parts of my
body. The most
prominent feedback
came from the top of
my head, from the
"Crown" chakra. It
seemed to serve no real
purpose other than to
work as a gauge for my
fear.
Have you ever seen
those animated cartoons
in which the main
character gets so
startled that he leaps

Side effects
i. A paradigm shift! A change
in your beliefs about reality
itself. Suddenly any
assumptions you had about a
soul or a separate plane of
existence will shift
from believing to knowing.
This is no small feat, and it
should not be undertaken by
the faint of heart.
ii. OBEs become
exponentially easier to
initiate. You may start to go
out-of-body every once in a
while without even trying.
iii. Your chakras will go
haywire. You've broken the
barrier between the two
realms of reality, and your
newly-awakened senses are
having to interpret the
strange astral input. You will
have to spend some time
accustoming yourself to what
each feeling means.
iv. You may become a
psychic, of sorts -- knowing
things that are about to
happen before they happen,
etc. This is because you've
torn the barrier between your
soul and your mind. And
since other people have a
"soul" on the astral plane, as
well as you do, you should
find people's true thoughts
and personalities amazingly
easy to read.
Section IV Exercises
1. Your goal is, obviously, to
get out-of-body and come
back to tell about it. Caution:
the out-of-body experience is
intense, and should only be
attempted by those of sound
mind and body.
2. Keep a journal of your

abstract concept
interpretation
To see this in progress, I highly
recommend you watch "Crossing
Over" on the SciFi channel.
John Edwards will try to interpret
what he feels in the studio, and
invariably end up as the middle
man in a discussion between a
deceased relative and someone
"charge up" from your current level of in the audience. You can learn
power (more on this later). If
some great techniques here if
witchcraft was a language, this would you pay close attention.
be the lungs behind your voice.
So, what are the words? Again, they
are abstract concepts. "Hear me dark
and blessed night/Hear now of my
lonely plight/Without my lady's hand
to hold/My aching heart grows long
too cold/Thrice the moon shall
shine/Then she shall be mine!" This
little spell is merely sending out a
signal "NEED FEMALE," or
something to that effect, which is, in
truth, a very simple abstract concept.
Try to grasp the feeling that this spell
is trying to get across, without using
words or pictures, and you'll
understand. Just as music can subtly
change your mood, so should the
language of magic.
Why do we have to use abstract
concepts in our magic? Simply
because it is the language of the
astral plane. One of my friends
explained his first experience with the
phenomenon while trying to speak
telepathically with an animal. When
he finally got a reply (quite to his
surprise), it was a greeting. The
silent response was not simply
"Hello," but rather "Hello," "Bon
jour," "Guten tag," "Aloha," "Nihao,"
"Hola," "Konnichiwa," and every
other greeting in the world all
wrapped up into one soundless
thought. The astral language is
universal, and thus extremely useful
for communicating your desires to
the cosmos.

Electromagnetic pulse
technology
You've learned that you carry around
a sort of soul-energy (also known as
"chi" or "ki" in Eastern philosophies -I call it "essence") and that you "reek A small bit of personal
proof:
of the smell," so to speak, on the
Encounter at a
astral level. Let's take this idea one
nightclub
I walked up to the bar in a club
(different club, if you're
wondering, than the one
mentioned in Section II) to order
a drink. People sat on barstools
in front of me, too tightly packed
for me to get any closer than
standing behind them. In an
effort to get the bartender's
attention, I pressed my arm
through the crowd and laid my
hand flat on the bar. The man in
front of me (even though he
physically seemed to be ignoring
me), assumably noticing that the
hand was feminine, concentrated
and began sending attractive
"vibes" at me. He was trying to
metaphysically hit on me!
Startled, I backed away and
ordered a drink from another
bartender. But I approached the
same man later.
"I have to talk to you."
"Okay." He looked unsurprised
-- smug, even.
"Over here." I led him to a
secluded corner. "Now, where
did you learn that?"
"Learn what?" He gave me an
innocent look.
"Back at the bar." I showed him
my hand and glared at him
sternly.
A smile slowly spread across
his face. "Well, well. You're the
first one who's been aware
enough to notice I was doing
anything. I'm impressed. Normally
people just fall for it without
understanding why."
You may think it was body
language, or that he was playing
along in order to impress me -but afterwards he demonstrated
by playing other tricks on
unsuspecting victims. I've talked
to him occasionally ever since,
and we've taught each other
much.

"Building Blocks of a
Ritual" (above). [I must
make it clear that this was
not a guided visualization - I just explained the "howto"s to him just as I have
to you.] When it was all
over, he exhaled a long,
shaky breath. "Wow. So
that's what witchcraft is....
wow. Suddenly all that
stuff that you and your
friends talk about makes
sense!"
He explained his
experience in cluttered
phrases throughout the
next few hours. I'd
expected as much -- the
first time you perform
magic correctly can be
pretty overwhelming.
"When you were talking to
me, I could hear you -but, I was, like, in
nowhere, in space, or
something, and your voice
was just an echo...."; "I
never knew the Earth was
so jaded... or even that it
had a personality to begin
with...."; "The energy was
flowing through me like a
firehose, and I could feel
the subtle changes in
pressure and direction
pushing against me...."
May your first ritual be
just as rewarding.
Section VI Exercises
1. Find a quiet place to ground and center.
Repeat the process a few times to make
sure you've done it correctly. (You
should know when you've managed it.)
2. See if you can "charge up" and then let
the excess energy flow back down to your
ground. Don't resist the flow of energy;
you are a reservoir, not a dam.

In Conclusion
In practice, sigils and glyphs are much more specialized than this.
They were invented as a magical shortcut, so that the translation
from words to abstract concepts will be entirely subconscious. Sigils
and glyphs are generally programmed specifically; for example, a
ward could be constructed with such words as "protection through
fear" to make passerby too nervous to explore a private area of
your property.
To create a glyph, you formulate the desired phrase; in this case, it
was "protection through fear." Then, you remove all of the repeating
letters, to form "protecihugfa." Use this as your intent word and
follow the instructions for making a sigil (below).
To create a sigil, you use a word or short phrase that defines your
intentions (as opposed to the alternate method of using cryptic
glyph-letters). Try drawing a symbol using both methods and see
which one feels more powerful for you.
How do you figure out what your sigil looks like? You can do this
several ways. The number chart method involves picking the planet
whose personality corresponds to your desire. (Feel the planets out
Building
if you don't understand the charts and/or want to see for yourself.)
Each planet has a "magic square" (so called because each row and Blocks of a
column will have an equal sum) which was attributed to it by ancient Ritual
mathematicians.

#1 Rule of
Occultism:
A novice witch
once bragged to
me that she'd just
done her first
ritual. "But," she
said, "how do I tell
if it worked or
not? I'm not good
enough yet to do
anything that
would have a
physical effect."
I shook my
head at the layers
of misconception.
"You should
automatically
know if your ritual
worked, because
you'll be able to
feel the magic in
the air. The air
will sing." She
looked confused.
"You know that
feeling you get
when you see an
orchestra live?
The resonance of
the whole room
with the music, as
if the entire
environment is
chiming in and
singing along?
take the time to figure it out. But, just as every action of nature has
a corresponding physics equation, it's usually not necessary to
personally work out the math. All sorts of seals are already
available for a variety of entities. (Yes, entities. Personalities are
merely a patchwork of abstract concepts).
What follows is a list of a few infamous entities and their
corresponding seals. (You can easily find others in books or on the
internet to fit your needs.) We'll learn how to use them, later.
Angel of the Sun:
Uriel, whose name means "fire of God," is one of the original seven archangels.
Right down to
your chair?"
"Yeah, I've seen
that... the kind
where the chills
that wash over
you?"
"It's very similar.
Music stirs up
energy from
everyone in the
audience; and in
magic you force it
out of yourself.
You have the
advantage of
knowing what to
do with it."
Plus, you can
observe exactly
what's going on
behind-thescenes, if you use
this tutorial. None
of that sort of
guesswork will be
involved.
Remember:
If you can't
feel the
magic,
it's not
there.
Luck
Love
Money
Protection
That's it! You've learned the format of a ritual, and now you can
apply your ingenuity to creating and casting any spells you need.
For some popular ideas, see the next chapter.
Section VII Exercises
1. Decide what you want most right now, and weigh the possible
consequences of getting it. This is not a "monkey's paw" sort of
trick question, as magic is only dangerous if you expect it to be. I
simply mean that, for example, while getting a promotion at work
can earn you a raise, it also means you'll have to deal with more
responsibilities.
2. If you're still happy with your idea, then go through the ritual
process and fire off a sigil for it.

Bothersome
familiars
Make absolutely,
positively sure that
you've come up with
the perfect
programming for your

might end up like a
friend of mine.
His (astral) familiar,
which was very
powerful, was
programmed to loyally

ability to perform magic,

was upset to see him
endangering himself by
getting out-of-body and
casting spells on other
witches. It rededicated
itself to containing his

completely lost the use
of his third eye and can
no longer feel-out
anyone or anything.
And since he did not
give the familiar a
lifespan, he can't get rid
of it -- because getting
rid of it would mean, in
effect, endangering
himself.
Always plan ahead,

In Conclusion
After
neglecting my
pendulum with
about a year
of non-use, I
dug it out to
help a friend
of mine. She
was going to
some sort of
gambling
establishment,
and she
wanted me to
pick the
winning
numbers for
the last keno
drawing of the
night. She left
me alone with
a keno sheet
to fill out. She
didn't know I
was a witch,
but just that I
seem to have
incredible luck
sometimes, so
what the hey?
I decided to
use the
opportunity as
a test.
First, I ran
my fingers
across the
sheet of keno
numbers and
asked the
pendulum for
guidance. I
got good,
strong "Yes"
answers to
some of the
numbers, but I
still needed
three more to
get a full set.
The pendulum
swung
uncertainly
between
While this tool can be used to predict the future and similar
divinatory tasks, it is an indispensable tool to use in astralto-physical communication. The pendulum should be made
from a weight of some sort suspended by a cord or chain -a pendant necklace, for example, would work well.
Plant your elbow firmly on a table and let the cord dangle
from your fingers with the weight at the bottom. Since the
pendulum operates upon the theory that your subconscious
mind is in direct contact with your astral side, you use it
without really trying to. Watch how it swings in response to
your questions -- but hold your hand still and don't
consciously try to make it swing.
First of all, you have to find out what the answers mean.
Let the pendulum stop swaying; ask it to show you your
"Yes"; then watch the response. It may take a few moments
to answer, but then the swinging in that direction should
become more and more pronounced. Repeat the process
for "No," "Unknown," and "Rephrase," and record the
movements. From now on, this will be your key to
interpreting your divinatory sessions.
You can ask the pendulum yes-no questions in this
manner. Or, if you have a more complicated question (like
figuring out where you lost your watch in your house) just
run your other fingers over a list of answers (in this case, a
map or blueprint) and wait for the cord to swing "Yes." Of
course, using a pendulum is by no means guaranteed to
give you the right answers -- your conscious mind or
outside forces can interfere with the swinging. But this
technique does come in handy sometimes (you'll use it
again in the next chapter).
Section IX Exercises
1. Find something you could use as a pendulum and ask it
for your answers.
2. Ask a couple of questions that you know the answers to
to make sure it's working (if not, get another pendulum).
Then ask some questions that you'd like answered.
certain
numbers, so
finally I just
picked three
of those.
Then, as a
control to the
experiment, I
asked the
pendulum
which
numbers
would NOT be
drawn. I wrote
down enough
for a full set
and gave both
lists to my
friend. "Enter
them both and
tell me how it
works out."
Later on that
night, she
returned
disappointed.
"On the first
set, I got all
but three...
and on the
second set, I
didn't get any
at all!" She'd
won a little bit
of money,
though, so I
was happy for
her.
As a side
note... a lot of
witches
preach fireand-brimstone
against using
magic to make
money. I
wouldn't
advise it, for
beginners -it's too easy to
let your greed
get out-ofhand and
interfere with
the
effectiveness
of your spells.

In Conclusion
Mind-reading is a nifty ability to show and tell; the only drawback is,
you'll need an audience if you're going to earn any experience. I've
included some simple games to give you some practice.
The basics
1. Get a volunteer who's willing to have his mind read. Explain to him
that it's his mental willpower, not yours, that is what makes the game
work. The harder he tries to make you achieve your goal, the easier
it will be for you to read his mind. (A really good volunteer will
actually vibrate the answers to you). Try different people until you
find a suitable amount of will.
2. Hold onto his arm, to share astral space and ensure uninhibited
communication. Tell him that you do not want to be tugged or
prompted in any way; the arm must hang limp and unresponsive. If
you're still getting skepticism that you're being prompted, then you
should each hold something conductive (such as metal wire) loosely
between you.
3. Have yourself blindfolded. Don't peek! It defeats the purpose.
You'll walk around the entire game this way; you should lead, not
follow. The only time your partner can change your movements is if
you're about to bump into something or otherwise endanger the
game.
Game I. The missing item.
Have your volunteer hide an object somewhere (while you are in a
different room, of course). You don't need to know what the object
was. Next, be led into that room, blindfolded. You can be spun
around in a circle and disoriented, for good measure. Ease forward in
one direction, then another, feeling-out your volunteer's energy. If
he's using as much will as he should be, then you should get a
distinctive "no" ..."no" ..."yes!" in the process of seeking which
direction to go. Once he projects that you are in the right area, then
do the same type of easing motions with one hand (first left and
right, then up and down) until you get a strong "yes!" response. Your
hand should be right on the hidden object.
Game II. The misplaced card.
Have your volunteer reshuffle a deck of cards until every card is in
order (ace, duce, etc.) suit after suit. Then he should randomly pick
out one card and replace it somewhere else in the deck. The cards
round ball of flame. I would only send one or two directions per
session, though, to be absolutely sure that your requests are not
muddled.
Be warned, though, that this sort of thing is rarely accomplished with
other people watching.
Section XI Exercises
1. If you've got a willing volunteer, and you'd like to try mindreading,
play one of the games above -- or, come up with your own.
2. Do the telekinesis candle exercise once a night.
3. Once you can make the flame so small that it goes out, you've
cleared the largest hurdle! Continue on to trying to move solid
objects like feathers and finally large objects such as books.

Tools
Many find it helpful to handle
tools, rather than simply use
their minds and hands. Listed
below are several popular tools
used for that sort of witchcraft.
ATHAME: The athame is usually
a black handled, double edged
knife and is a ritual tool. It is a
symbolic representative of the
element of fire. It can be used as a
tool for laying down a circle and
also as a symbol representing the
male aspect of the divine.
Athames can be used to invoke
the quarters (the four
elements)and release the quarters.
The athame should not be used to
cut anything except in certain
situations such as cutting a door
way in the circle to allow others to
pass through, cutting a cord in the
event of a bind release or a
passing over ritual, and of course
a handfasting (Wiccan marriage)
cake.
SWORD: The sword is another
ritual tool that can be used as a
tool for sovereignty and authority.
It is like the athame a symbolic
representative of the element of
fire and of the male aspect of the
divine. It can be used in the same
manner as the athame.
CHALICE/CUP: The chalice or
cup is representative of the female
aspect and of water. It is used to
hold the waters of life. Once the
waters of life have been blessed
during ritual, the chalice is often
Conclusion
A lot of people like to conclude
magic ceremonially, to signal
the end of the ritual to their
subconscious and to anything
they might have asked for help.
This is a good time to say your
thank yous, break down your
circle, and give everyone
permission to resume business
as usual. It's standard to end
your spells with some sort of
activating phrase, just as a
coach would say "Now go out
there and give 'em your best."
Christians will recognize the
phrase "My will be done," while
others prefer to say something
like, "So mote it be," to reinforce
their confidence and willpower.
Some like to eat a meal after
particularly draining spells, to
replenish all of the personal
energy they have spent. No
doubt, you'll eventually come up
with some personal form of
celebration, as casting a
successful spell is quite an
enjoyable experience.
