    About this ebook

    Written for the 8-13 age group, this step by step manual was written by a practicing Magician with over thirty years of Occult experience. This isn't deception, illusion, or sleight of hand; this is the spiritual practice of refining oneself while creating changes that conform to one's needs. This introduction is not just for kids - Pagan and Heathen parents, and serious students of the Occult arts will also find it useful.
    The appendices are invaluable, including a list of the types of divination performed by our ancestors, a complete description of the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram (including certain previously secret teachings about performing this ritual), and a list of elemental attributions that will help add variety to any mgickal working.

      Parental Advisory

      The practice of Magic(k), as a religious or spiritual practice, as opposed to sleight of hand, is steeped in misconception and out right falsehoods. Conservative religious leaders rail against magic, denounce it, or claim fear of it. Hollywood, with very few exceptions, furthers these ideas, frequently portraying users of magic as eccentric, greedy, or just plain evil. Some sovereign nations still have laws against the practice of Witchcraft even into the 21st Century. Parents may have their own ideas, frequently derived from these sources, which disagree with material to be found in this work.

      It is possible, though inadvisable, to use magic such as that presented here to cause harm to other people. As in all actions, the choice to do such a thing lies with the individual – and so too the consequences. Magic itself is neither good nor evil. Like electricity, it can be put to many uses, and the character of those uses is often consistent with the character of the user.

      No harmful spells or practices are outlined in this work.

      Chapter One: The Basics

      First things first.

      There are lots of types of Magick. People who worship the Loas of Voudoun and Santeria have one type of Magick. Wiccans have another, and so do Qabalists. There are several systems called Witchcraft. The Catholics and Christians and other Abrahamic religions perform magick, but they usually call it prayer. All of these systems work, even though they have many differences. Some even directly contradict each other.

      So, don’t believe anything we tell you in this book. Try it out for yourself. When it works, keep using it. When you find something that works better for you, and feels better for you, use that instead. Think of this book as a place to start learning how to live a Magickal life.

      What is Magick?

      For the purposes of this book, magic will mean the practices of clowns, stage magicians, and other performers; it means sleight of hand, trickery, illusion, all done with the intent to deceive, defraud, or to entertain. That’s not what we’re talking about in this book.

      Magick will be used to refer to the spiritual/religious practice of creating changes through means not yet understood by science. We sometimes call this working of Magick performing a spell.

      Take a moment and think about what that means. Have you ever made a paper airplane? Long ago, our ancestors did not understand the Bernoulli Principle…but they could have still folded a piece of paper to make it fly! Later, when a scientist named Bernoulli discovered that a wing, curved on the top and flat on the bottom, would produce lift when air flowed past it quickly, the paper airplane (and real airplanes) ceased to be Magick and became science instead. That is only one example. The plant foxglove was used by wise women and hedge witches to help sick hearts for a long time, and now modern
