I plan to add pages from Magic Book here. Magic Book is a reference book for magical practice. It is theory intended for practice.
The purpose of this project is to create discussion on some important topics in magic.
Here I will start by listing the contents, the topics that should be written about in the Magic Book.
Clarification about book: This is an open book – as in the idea of a book. It's like the book of books on magic.
There are many topics to discuss in Magic, I would like to create a system to use them all efficiently for practice. That is the idea behind the book. Here I attempt to write down the important topics that should be covered in the Magic Book. Discussion welcome – what topics should be included? How should the contents be organized (what is the structure like)?
Topics in Magic:
- Magic Skills and Tools, Magical Objects *
- Rituals, Occultism, Summoning
- Spellcasting, Spells, Sigils *
- Dreams, Lucid Dreaming, Astral, Sleep *
- Hypnosis and Meditative Practice
- Spiritism, Necromancy, Spirit magic *
- Symbolism, Mythology *
- Aesthetics, Magic House
- Energy (charge, waves, etc.) ** (related: Conjuring / Manifestation / Telekinesis )
- Nature (Realms, Flora & Fauna)
- Healing (Health, Herbalism, Acupuncture, Medicine, etc.)
- Divination, Prophecy, Prediction *
- Alchemy, Elementalism *
- Tradition (Wicca, Voodoo, Religions, etc.) and History (Solomon, Crowley, Lovecraft, Merlin etc.)
- Dowsing
- Magic Circle, Square, Triangle, etc. *
- Magic Portal *
- Chaos Magic
- Psychonautics, Telekinesis, Psi (mind magic, consciousness)
- Illusion and Tricks
- Sacred Geometry (Geometry), Structure
- Crystals, Amulets, Talismans *
- Magic Battle (connected to Tools, theory of how the battle would go)
- Origins of Knowledge (Knowledge Tree) *
- Witchcraft (Folk Magic and craft)
- Familiars, magic allies
- Cycles of Life, Calendar
(topics that I already wrote about are marked with * and ** for most written about)
I created an arbitrary division of magic into 12 schools (based on calendar). The contents above somewhat follow the schematic of the different school, however not completely. I will write about the 12 magic schools (types of magic) in another post.
