Magick in Theory & Practice

This course is taught from both a practical and theoretical perspective, offering a balanced approach inspired by the four elements—spiritual, astral, intellectual, and physical. We recognise that people learn in different ways, so we incorporate a variety of teaching methods to engage mind, body, and spirit, ensuring the material is both accessible and deeply rooted.

Access a wealth of knowledge through curated lectures and reading materials. Reading lists are also provided for people who want to read around the subject or learn more.

Course Principles

No One True Way

We have studied many different systems in depth and come from a no one true way perspective. We will always do our best to keep the magic alive by avoiding saying something doesn't work or isn't a certain way. Belief is at the core of what we do.

Understanding our History

We think it is important to understand and honour where things come from. Wherever possible we will provide references to sources and information on the history of where it has come from.

Finding Your Path

We believe in helping people find their true path/will. We would love it if you chose the one we have taken, but if you decide its not right we will help however we can to put in you in touch with the right people.

Set Your Own Pace

We will never force people to learn, but put responsibility for your learning in your own hands to go at your own pace. For people who are very enthusiastic we provide additional reading and practices.

FAQ

You must be at least 18 years old to join the course. This is for safeguarding reasons, but there are moots and groups for younger people in the wider Pagan community who we would be happy to point you in the direction of if you still wnat to contact us.
