In this presentation we are gonna go over a very basic run down on how to begin a ritual. Now this will be a very simplistic and universal way of doing it, as there are many ways to prepare for it, and there are other protocols to adhere to as well. For the time being these will suffice for a beginner practice, as we will return to this subject in the future. Additionally there is another component that will be a standard in your operations regardless of system, and that is the Magick circle. An extremely important piece that provides multiple functions to help make sure that your operation is a success.

This is the sign that despite what most that are experienced in Astrology, is the sign of digestion in the alchemical process. This is not to be confused with Virgo's rulership over the biological digestion system, nor necessarily ignoring Leo's rulership over the heart, for it is in the heart where the digestion takes place in the alchemical process. As a bonus, not only in will we go over other topics, but we will also make special mention of the new book that we recently released at the time of this recording: The Book of Syncretism: All is Atum by Santos Bonacci and edited by Christopher Campbell and Nick Taimurodo. Whether you are one that is experienced in Syncretism or if you only recently begun your journey in it, we HIGHLY recommend you read through it. We also encourage that you check out more of Christopher Campbell's work through his books to help expand your understand and knowledge of Syncretism. All links will be available below.

No matter what system or type of Magick you are doing, this is the first layer that your operation will go through before it even begins to come into effect. The mind is the interface that you will be using in order to manipulate the Universal mechanics to your Will. As stated in the first Hermetic principle 'It all begins in the MIND.' This is also connected to the Law of Gender as well, masculine and feminine. Books shared in recording Kabbalah, Magic & the Great Work of Self Transformation: A Complete Course

Click HERE to watch the replay of the lecture In this lecture, we are going to wrap up on the 7 Hermetic Principles/Laws. The last 3 Laws that we are going to go over the Law of Rhythm, the Law of Vibration, and the Law of Cause and Effect. The Law of Rhythm in Magick focuses on knowing how to feel and understand the ebb and flow of everything. Learning to ride the wave and to stay on the upswing, rather then becoming a slave to the negative downswing that brings so many to their knees. Not only that, but knowing when it is time to act and when it is time remain still, because while taking action can be a positive thing, acting at the wrong time can also bring failure, or at worst disaster. The Law of Vibration. Many times we have heard in spiritual circles that you need to raise your vibration, and while that may be true for most people at most times. There are times that you don't simply need to have a high vibration, but the correct vibration. In Magick, how this usually applies will be the vibration that you put into your operations, because the energy you put in, will generally but the way that your results will manifest. It's also why you need to be careful and master mental and emotional self-control as best you can, because whatever you bring into your circle will as stated above, influence the way your results will manifest. The Law of Cause and Effect. A simple concept that many have heard and understood before. Similar to knocking over dominos, when one thing happens, it generally sends echoes outward. An effect, is not without it's cause, and a cause is not without it's effects. Like with the other Laws/Principles, we need to learn to master on how to become the cause of the effects, and not be the under the effects of others (Generally speaking). Like it says in the Kybalion, we must learn be the movers of the pieces on the chess board and not the pawns being moved. There are many things and people out there that seek to influence many, for better or worse. Knowing on how to make sure that we remain at the cause and the master of our own reality will be crucial to maintaining control not only of ourselves, but also of our own Magick. So while the effects of others isn't always negative, as there are people out there that wish to bless you and benefit you, in which case you may allow the effect on you should you wish to allow it, but of course if someone wishes to influence you in a negative or undesirable way, then you will need to learn how to deny that echo. This is one of the reasons why if you wish to be a magician/practitioner then you NEED to practice very regularly. Daily if possible.

Gemini, the third sign on the ecliptic. In this part we are going to focus on the alchemical process that takes place in Gemini, which is... Fixation. Now for those that are familiar with Astrology, or at the very least with the sign of Gemini, this may seem like a bit of a paradox... But we are going to explore that and see how it really isn't paradoxical.
