Understanding Magic and Its Practices
Magic in the Western tradition is explored through the lens of defining its essence, which often aligns with the ideas of practitioners such as Alistair Crowley. He articulated magic as the science and art of causing change in consciousness via the will, emphasizing the alignment with one's guardian angel as a crucial element. This perspective has evolved, with modern interpretations leaning towards a more animistic understanding, recognizing the role of spirits in magical practices. The podcast delves into the necessity of having a relationship with spiritual entities that assist practitioners in accomplishing their goals, drawing parallels with other cultural beliefs such as Islamic jinn.
