Hi! Thanks for checking out our free course on how magic works!

This is a series of private sessions with my students every week on the ROOTS of magic: what works, what doesn't, what is fluff and what is essential. My name is Dusty White, and I am the author of several books on magic (divination and manifestation). Most of what I teach my students is hidden away at the Academy of Divination mystery school, but this set of sessions will span four years where we examine magic in minutiae. 

The purpose of these lessons is to give you bite-sized lessons on "how magic works" (literally) so you can avoid the mistakes the rest of us have made over decades of trial, error, and reading endless books on magic. There is no Harry Potter fiction here, no romantic "teen-magic series" with sparkly vampires and werewolves. This is an ongoing discussion of how to actually do magic that works.

I will be hosting most of the sessions, but I will also interview my friends (famous people you may have books by, or have heard of) to get their take on various aspects of magic. This is all free. It is a university-level education broken down into tiny blocks anyone can digest, no matter how busy their schedule is. I hope you will sign up to get all of our episodes (here, or on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or whatever service you like).

The reason these lessons are so short is that we want you to truly absorb this information and use what you learn here instead of just processing it and forgetting it in search of some quick fix. It took all of us decades to learn this stuff. We are hoping you will only take a few years. These are skills you will have for the rest of your life. Thanks for being here!
