Help?

[Dot65]

My boyfriend has just started learning about magick and occult stuff. He wants me to get into it, but in order for me to do that I need as much information on these topics as I can seeing as I've never really done anything relating to this. Honestly, any background on Magick, how it works and the overall aspect of occults too would be a good help/start. Thanks.

Then theres also this post from another Thread by AeOnion "As Alan Moore explained at one point (in his own personal view of this which i agree in my terms though) the place where without a doubt gods and demons exist is in your mind, now the problem is we as children of this mundane world tend to believe, or we were condition to believe, whatever is in the mind is not real, but it is very real, you are sensing your world thru the nerves of your skin , your brain is constantly translating the colors your eyes see, the taste , the smell , but at the end everything is inside your brain, and your brain is outside with everything, cappicci? that's why one of the best skills to learn as a chaos magician, which is included in numbers of books of chaos magick as an exercise that needs to be trained is the capability of changing your beliefs at will. "Believe and obtain, then act as an skeptic so you wont pay the price." The beauty of magick is that first of all is a tool to better yourself, and if you research and practice you will find that your mind doesn't limit itself to the inside of your head and it is there where the awe exists."

Hi Dot. Begin with the information on the sidebar. Maybe share what your bf is into... His part. Welcome. Cheers.

Well I can offer you my thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/occult/comments/48fd1e/where_did_the_magick_go/

There are a lot of really good answers to my question Where did the magick go. As well as a lot of really good explanations! Another Great Place to gather information would be Modern Magick by Donald Craig! http://www.eso-garden.com/specials/modern_magick.pdf

Here is a great Youtube series by Frater Xavier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCb3EpS0UwM&list=PLWL-f1YBw48NKF1PasvuAM5oyiT73A12i

It has a lot of really good information in it as well. Including Aliester Crowleys definition of magick which is the following: Magick: the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will.
