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! |

Session 0: Terms we will use, and why.
Instant summary
- introduction (what you can expect)
- terminology of magic (can't we all get along?)
- quickie dispelling of magical myths
- "the terms" (here they are!)
- my promise to you
This is a series on how magic works. This is not a set of lessons based on one particular path. This is a master course on the ROOT of magical techniques that have proven themselves over years, and thousands of years. We will show you WHY things work and how to do them better, so you can get better results. We will occasionally expose lies and techniques that are outright frauds, but mostly we will take a deep dive into how you can get better results right away from your magic, whether you are a beginner or an expert―an acolyte or an adept.
There will be audio and video components to this series, depending on the need of the instruction. This proto-lesson will set the table so that you are not confused later, in coming lessons.
When discussing religion, philosophy, and magic, terms can get in the way as people tend to take their beliefs as gospel when it comes to how the universe is put together and who’s in charge. Even close friends can vehemently disagree on which deities or angels, demons, spirit guides, ancestors, or nature spirits to work with. The world is FILLED with monotheists, duo-theists, polytheists, nature worshippers, and even atheists. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but that does not mean that everyone is right. The ultimate test of magic is whether it consistently produces powerful results quickly, regularly, and without unnecessary cost or sacrifice.
You see, magic is natural. In fact magic is the very definition of “super-natural.” When we conduct successful magic, we are harnessing the powers of nature to assist us―through prayer or spell casting, meditation or divination. This course may seem "slow." It is nothing of the sort; we just break everything down so you can practice each aspect of magic "every day" and add all of these to your real-world existence. Think of how many self-help books you have read that have not really helped you create the ideal life. This course may be free, but it is worth more than most courses you pay for, if you do the work. (Please do the work—we are here for you every step of the way).
