31 How should I start learning about magic? teachers?

Some recommend the use of particular mechanisms or tools,
such as tarot, a magical diary, meditation or dreamwork.
Some recommend specific books or teachers, others place more
emphasis on the aptitude and imagination of the student.

As CHenningsson (mailto:ceci@lysator.liu.se) writes:

"Books are one answer. There are actually books which
try to take you from your first tentative attempts
at relaxation into holding a ritual....

"Other than that ... Just do it! If you like to, you
can see this as one of the very first exercises in Will;
you Will yourself into making a ritual."

Robin (mailto:robin@winternet.com) provides marvelous advice:

"Resist the temptation to believe what anyone else
tells you. Try to invent ways to find out things
for yourself. Remain skeptical.

"Look for ways in which you may have been
doing magick without realizing it. Think about
what it might mean if you could use it with
intention, and how you might go about that."

MKampe (mailto:markk@cypress.West.Sun.COM) offers:

"if you have clear notions of what magick is all
about, it might be better for you to pursue your
inner course and avoid outside contamination
[from teachers/books/etc.]."
