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 1: What is “magic” anyway?
Instant summary
- magical formula: 50% human / 50% divine
- twin DNA strands of magic (polarities 101)

- miracles happen when your mind is desperate (here's a better way)
- mental poisoning is subtle but powerful magic
( note to self: I need a new microphone! sorry!! )
Our topic for this session is the definition of magic from a practical point of reference. What *is* magic and who does it? Can anyone do it, and how do you know when you are doing it? Is magic evil, or something only wizards and witches can do, or is it simply a natural part of life that has been overhyped by people who want to control how you think―or worse *take your money*.
At its core, magic is a blend of human and divine energy. Like any physical process of results creation, magic requires sacrifice, effort, clear intent, focus, and determination. Otherwise it is nothing more than wishful thinking.
The difference between magic (that works) and fantasy is that all laws of metaphysics must conform to the laws of (mundane) physics. This is overlooked in today's world of instant magical experts, and faux gurus of magic. We look at the two DNA strands of magic: divination and manifestation and how they are a natural part of the human experience. Much of what people call "luck" or happenstance are really weak forms of magic materializing due to psychic (of the psyche) efforts aligning with unseen existing circumstances. This is not "bad." This is just common everyday magic, and common everyday magic makes life infinitely easier. The whole point of magic is to smooth your path, not to perform impossible feats that impress your friends and strangers you find attractive.
The problem is that most people’s wishes remain trapped in their heads unless they are in a panic, or under so much stress that their conscious and subconscious minds fuse into synchronicity. Magic shouldn’t bee that hard. Magic shouldn’t be stressful.
There is nothing wrong with forcibly distancing yourself from a "thing." But is this done from egoic-validation, or a desire to appear more mysterious and powerful? Or is it a needed clarity that must be delineated to avoid being labeled a mentalist or other faux metaphysician.
In this series we separate entertainment and scams from what really works in real life every day, all over the world, and throughout history. There is so much to cover that we are taking these in small bites you can focus on masticating and mastering. Over time, all of these parts of magic will coalesce into a true working knowledge of how to recreate your life using your "God-given talents." And these lessons are free. Thanks for being here.
