Episode notes
Wait For Bone‑Deep Belonging
- Accept that it's valid to be intellectually interested in magic without practicing it.
- Do not force practice; wait until you feel bone-deep belonging before committing to serious work.
Advanced Practice Is Decomplexification
- Advanced practitioners simplify practices rather than stacking rituals for complexity's sake.
- Basics are forecasting and co-creating with conditions, not rote ceremonial routines.
Forecast, Then Co‑Create
- Use forecasting and simple augury to co-create with present conditions instead of ritual showmanship.
- Read the situation and adapt mundane and magical actions to what the moment actually asks for.
