ADVICE

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.
INSIGHT

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.
ADVICE

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.
