    Introduction

    En teachin! and learnin! ma!ic

    ,t has een a while since , have osted , decided , needed to ost somethin! ecause more so thenever efore , have een flooded with re4uests to teach$ heal$ !uide or assist a erson or ersons

    , canGt , am sorr% ut it is 5ust not ossile , would also warn that an%one who sa%s the% will teach%ou ma!ic over the internet has not %et discovered the difficult% (or imossiilit%) of this tas' or the%do not have %our est interest in mind

    1 teacher3student relationshi is a ver% owerful thin! The teacher must learn the studentGsmetahors$ manners$ ersonalit%$ traits and e ale to evaluate sutle chan!es within them This isdifficult and time consumin! in erson$ sa%in! nothin! for loo'in! at a screen The student must eale to understand the teacher and what the% are tr%in! to teach$ as well as al% the lessons the%offer ,f %ou tr% to learn ma!ic and thin' idle seculation will !et %ou there %ou fail ,t is wor'$ itmust e done

    2 i! asect of the teacher student relationshi is the e*chan!e of mental and astral ener!ies whenaround each other The teacher should have a hi!her siritual fre4uenc% then the student and

    ecause of the interaction the student has their ener!% raised to a hi!her level This haens in ever%da% life$ when %ou are around eole %ou ic' u thin!s from them n internet teacher3student roledoes not allow this to occur

    : Lan!ua!e and communication arriers e*ist when discussin! the m%steries of enli!htenment andma!ic Two eole of the same lan!ua!e$ culture and similar e*erience will ?T,LL have difficultiesto overcome in e*ressin! inner m%stical e*eriences (and some are imossile to conve%$ see m%

    lo! hat do %ou meanAI) so when someone from a entirel% different culture and lan!ua!e see'strainin! this is immensel% comounded and far too difficult to overcome (at least as , have seen)

    9 The student and teacher should evaluate each other efore a relationshi is uiltJ the% should'now how the other lives and oerates &est case scenario the% should e friends efore and 'noweach other well This removes man% rolems that would arise later

    Those are the reason that if %ou see' me out for a teacher , will have to sa% that , cannot ta'e thatresonsiilit% M% lo!s and writin!s were never meant to e an advertisement for students$ the%were to siml% document and show what , elieve ma!ic is all aout and in some cases to hel othersas , have een heled % resentin! information that ma% cause insiration$ !uidance and the ri!htideas aout how to do ma!ic

    , would also li'e to mention that , am not a &ardon ma!ician , trained in his s%stem$ , 'now it rett%well and , resect$ honor and areciate the s%stem For the most art , feel it is a wonderful trainin!ro!ram ut , see its faults , am a Hermetic ma!ician$ , have studied man% s%stems and racticedKolden Dawn ma!ic as well , for the most art use the Thoth dec' in m% understandin! of thema!ical universe and the .merald Talet is a foundational iece of wor' for me
