Magic is basically a concept brought from the West. For example, English uses different words to distinguish magic more accurately, such as (magic), etc. Each word contains subtle differences. There are men and women who use magic, and men are called
Wizards or magicians, women are called witches, witches or witches, and they can also be called warlocks, magicians or sorcerers.
Magic is mostly a mysterious force or behavior, and is a product of imagination. But on the other hand, it is one of the non-existent things that people most hope to realize. Supernatural phenomena that have been explained but not proven are usually classified as
It is a category of science, but it cannot be called magic, so currently magic will only be considered a product of imagination. But if a situation occurs where "its principles are successfully explained and can be used", it may be called magic.

The following is purely fictitious!
【Introduction to Magic】
Magic is a method of using power other than physical strength (magic power).
It means that mages and other specific people use their own spiritual power or some connection with nature to change, transform, destroy, and strengthen certain things through spells, talismans, etc., without any physical contact.
Things, people’s skills and methods.
In short, magic is a technique of changing things in unusual ways according to personal wishes.
1The Origin of Magic
1 A brief history of magical philology
Before talking about magic literature, we must first clarify the concept of magic. The word magic has a wide range of origins. The most important thing is the extension of blindness and the generalization of curse spells used by demons. Initially, there were some
Terrifying creatures called "dragons" posed a great threat to the life and property safety of humans and other races, so many warriors went to slay the dragons. However, they soon discovered that the dragons were too strong to be defeated by force alone, so they
Some smelters invested in this undertaking. They first created some substances that were lethal to the flesh. These formulas are now considered to be the prototype of magic. Then people further discovered that through some verbal communication with the dragon, the dragon could be weakened or even restricted.
Activities during combat, and the spiritual communication unique to the demons is particularly effective for this. This is the origin of the curse. At the same time, because the dragon has accumulated a large amount of treasure, some people who are greedy for profit began to think of ways to obtain it through "peaceful" means.
This is how dragon treasure, blind magic, was born. In the first century, due to the effectiveness of blind magic, this kind of magic developed rapidly, and by the middle of the 4th century, there were no less than 600 kinds. Since then, all kinds of magic have developed rapidly.
With the development of magic, recording and organizing these items became indispensable. As early as the late 4th century, a group of magicians began to compile some recipes derived from alchemists, among which Henry's "The Refining of Boiled Salt"
" is the most famous, but this is generally not considered to be the origin of magic books. By the middle of the 5th century, the great magician Wilson wrote the first recognized magic classic "Dragon Slaying Code", which contains two aspects of magic.
The development of more than a century was summarized in detail, and the experience of learning magic was expounded in the form of basic principles, with more than 20,000 spells of various types recorded. However, in 461 years ago, the ignorant and stupid orc king Rava II
Shi believed the sinister rumors and without investigation, used the "Dragon Slaying Code" as a typical case of private law against royal power to be severely punished. Wilson was cruelly thrown into the boiling pot, and nineteen of his disciples were also persecuted.
Death, the "Dragon Slaying Code" itself was burned to the ground. The impact of this tragedy on the development of magical literature was obvious, and no other classics appeared until the middle of the 8th century.
The human prophet Fa'atong once published his book "On Force and Magic" in 703 AD, but it was just a test of the current situation and did not constitute a magic classic in the true sense. It truly brought magic.
What revived philology was Hastings, a wealthy merchant who was a loyal follower of the prophet Augustus, a second disciple of Phathon. As we all know, Augustus, one of the Twelve Warriors in 746 AD, won an astonishing victory
The power sealed the devil Allah. But with his death, this powerful magic was unfortunately lost. The main reason here is not that none of Augustus' disciples have the master's magic power. If they are given enough time to practice,
It is not unattainable to finally master the ability to seal the Demon King; the fundamental reason is that this magic has not been preserved in written form, and the prophets have passed down the magic orally for a long time. The regret for the loss of this powerful magic directly led to the outbreak of the "Magic Written Movement"
Hastings had a great interest in magic. He provided his six luxurious manors to magicians from all over the country for free, and asked them to record the magic props, formulas, spells and spell-casting processes. He also spent a lot of money on this.
Money and food. In the four years from 749 to 753, more than 2,000 magicians lived in the Hastings manor. It was once called the "Six Academy of Magic". The records of each manor were compiled.
There are five volumes, which are directly compiled into the thirty volumes of "Hastings Magical Traces".
However, Hastings's efforts were incomplete. Although the thirty volumes of magic records totaled more than 50,000 items, the number of repetitions, contradictions and even complete fabrications was also quite large. After proofreading, sorting and verification by Diantai
, there are only more than 17,000 entries left. Moreover, due to the large number of people who have handled this "Xue Ji", the writing is very inconsistent. What is even worse is that there is no basic outline of the entire book, which makes it difficult to find a certain entry.
It is very difficult. Even a master of textual criticism like Diantai can't help but sigh: "What Hastings left us is a classic that can never be completed." In this way, the shortcomings of "Xueji" are undoubtedly exposed. Bosch
Thomas Fa of the Man Mages Guild tried to make an index for it in 765, but with the outbreak of the eight-nation melee, this effort failed.
In the age of war, compiling this "Xueji" was not only time-consuming, but also dangerous. However, I managed to complete it, and divided and arranged it according to various categories, totaling 28,611
Article 10. What needs to be explained here is that for the six destructive magics of the Last Judgment, Cloud of Destruction, Doomsday Storm, Thunder Explosion, Chain Lightning and Thunderbolt Ice Ring, on the one hand they are not allowed to be tested at will, on the other hand they are retained.
Magic of mass destruction is also inhumane, so these six magics are only kept for purpose. They only describe their origins and deeds, and do not retain records of props, spells, or the process of casting spells.
Before giving the structure of this article and ending this article, I would also like to thank my two students: Harry Potter and Archimedes, who directly participated in the compilation of some chapters; and I also want to thank my wife Mary, who has been a part of this article for six years.
He has always taken care of our lives without any regrets; thank General Tuotuo for his effective protection of us; thank the gods for their blessing...
2 White magic (magic that does not cause much harm) and black magic (magic that is dangerous)
The establishment of magic was originally religious. It was first used in rituals such as praying for rain and praying for rain. Later, it was also used in the treatment of diseases, but there is no so-called black and white classification.
In its history, the cause of the polarization of magic was the war between the two great powers. At that time, King Sassen paid attention to magic as a means of attack, and invited the domestic magisters to participate in the decision-making, using magic as a means of attack.
This was the beginning of black magic as a means of killing. However, some magisters believed that magic should not be used as a tool of killing, so they left Sassen, moved to Salonia, and established a new magic system. This is
The beginning of white magic. Later, due to the development of black magic, the war situation was favorable to Sassen. Many soldiers of Salonia died from injuries caused by black magic. The king of Salonia, thinking that the situation was serious, asked the White Magister for help. From this
From that time on, the White Mage was involved in the war in the name of protecting people from being harmed by black magic.
However, judging from the results, this purpose had the opposite effect, and each other's magic continued to increase their own power. Moreover, it eventually became the ultimate killing magic. White magic completed the sacred art, and black magic completed the nuclear fusion art.
.However, no one realized the true horror of this magic at the time. Finally, a tragedy occurred. When the huge energy of each other's ultimate magic collided, tens of thousands of soldiers from both armies were wiped out in an instant. This war was an opportunity.
, the war ended quickly. And following the war, magic with too much energy was sealed in the holy land of Eureka.
2 Classification of magic
White magic is very close to the original form of magic used in religious rituals or to treat diseases. It is very effective in healing injuries or defending against foreign enemies. However, after the war era, white magic also appeared.
Magic that harms the opponent.
Black magic, if the white magician is a fair use of magic power, the black magician is a magic that brings out the dark side of magic power, and is targeted at those with powerful magic power. And this kind of black magic for killing was used in the war era.
It was developed and spread all over the world. In order to prevent its too strong power from bringing disaster to future generations, it was sealed for a time. Later, most of the seals were unlocked, allowing for further research.
Although magic is divided into white magic and black magic, it is obvious that with the development of history, white magic can also attack, and black magic can also defend. Therefore, this classification can no longer completely define magic, and a new understanding of magic is necessary.
According to the method of releasing spiritual power, magic on the mainland can basically be divided into the following four categories:
The spell "牐犚氉牬襥谥心瀿翞chenbang" is a sentence with a special meaning. Magic will appear from near the caster.
The change caused by the charm or primer of the 牉牰you, the talisman or primer activates the magic, and the magic will appear from the vicinity of the caster.
牐玎, gestures, 牉牸 the different shapes and positions of the hands to release magic energy, the magic will appear directly from the hands of the caster
The magic circle is made by using various things (including magic) to form a magic circle, and the magic will appear from the magic circle.
For a time, magic was also based on the above characteristics, forming two systems:
Tanning
Created by the father of Umbrella magic, Zakabidiev, it uses spells and magic circles as the main methods of casting, and divides the eight elements that make up the world into holy, light, sky, fire, water, earth, black and darkness.
A big department
Wanfang magic
Zhizhi Huaipu's "curse" and "illusion" are said to have been created by an ancient emperor, "Zhaoju". It uses spells and gestures as the main methods of execution, and is divided into Qiantian, Kanshui, Genshan and Zhen according to Fuxi Bagua. There are eight major systems: Lei, Xunfeng, Lihuo, Kundi and Duizhou.
1 According to the effect of magic:
(1) Damage effect This kind of magic, aside from the various gorgeous ways of functioning, results in the object of your spell being harmed. This damage may be huge and devastating. For example, Dragon Breath in World of Warcraft can It can achieve the effect of killing dozens of players in an instant; it may also have a small effect, but if it lasts for a certain period of time, it will often be accompanied by some debilitating effects, such as poison damage that is common in various games.
(2) Control function. As the name suggests, this type of magic has the effect that the caster can control the casting object. The effect is also divided into many levels: 1. Stun type. The opponent is in a stunned state and cannot do any activities. 2. Slowing type. The opponent moves and attacks. , Slow down the casting speed by 3 and completely control the opponent. After casting the spell, the opponent will be under your control for a period of time or permanently.
(3) Healing (auxiliary) effects: This type of spell is generally a gain-type magic, which generally has the function of healing the damage suffered by one's own units and enhancing the abilities of one's own units.
2. According to the magic casting process:
(1) For the prompt type, the time consumed from the moment the magic is cast to the time it takes effect is 0.
(2) The singing type takes xxx seconds from the time the magic is released to the time it takes effect, which is divided according to different spell attributes.
(3) After the continuous effect occurs, the caster must maintain the action of casting the spell and cannot perform any other actions to maintain the continuation of the spell effect.
3 According to the nature of magic itself:
The nature of magic has different opinions in different understandings, just like materialism and idealism. These are the opinions of the beholder and the wise. The following is the current mainstream classification:
(1) Impact spells are the most basic and original power in magic. Impact spells are the basis of magic and are also the most efficient attack system in magic. Therefore, in compound spells, impact powers often appear. Impact spells sometimes depend on the impact medium. It is classified into four sub-systems: ground impact, water impact, wind impact and air impact, but the concept of this secondary system is not universal.
(2) Fire spells, all the forces that can easily be learned by weaponry to make objects heat up, vibrate, and white-hot, are classified as fire spells. Since fire spells can be used in battles of various natures, they are widely used. Beloved by magicians
(3) The power of the thunder and lightning system. All the forces that act on electrons belong to the thunder and lightning system. The thunder and lightning system has a sub-system, the magnetic system. As you can imagine, electric field and magnetic field It's a mutual relationship
(4) The second most difficult power to use in ice spells. All powers that cool down, slow down, and turn objects into black bodies are classified as ice spells. This spell is difficult and difficult to use. It is considered the most difficult to use in magic. An unpopular system
(5) The control of all light, rays, and electromagnetic waves is the most energy-consuming system of light-sunbing spells. Although light-sunbing spells consume a lot of magic power, they have natural properties. It has the power of exorcism, so it is often used to fight against demons.
(6) Gravity spells are the most difficult to control force in magic. All powers that interrupt, enhance, or distort gravity are all gravity spells. On the other hand, the intramolecular forces discovered in modern times are also attributed to the gravity system. Magic has a sub-system: Time and Space
(7) The psychic system is a power that only works on living things. This system of spells is the most effective spell for living creatures, but it is also the system with the greatest distance limitation among the seven magic systems.
4In addition, magic can also be divided into other divisions:
Demon spirit magic: All phenomena in the material world have the power of elves. Fire elves ignite fire; wind elves make the air flow and create meteorological phenomena; water elves make water flow and create cold air; and earth elves are responsible for all aspects of the earth.
A phenomenon. Elf magic is a purposeful phenomenon that violates the order of ordinary physical phenomena that these elves directly participate in and activate. Most of the magic used in the current world is elf magic.
Dark magic is a type of magic that is hidden in the dark magic world. Elf magic encourages the spirits of nature to achieve the user's purpose. In contrast, dark magic uses spells and magic patterns to directly interfere with physical phenomena.
The principle of dark magic is summarized as a unique principle called [Magic Physics]. This is the legacy of the ancient magical civilization that was the most popular in the world tens of thousands of years ago.
While reading the magic of 牉笠笠狠笠笠笇笠笠笠, the magic of the spring is read, and at the same time, a huge magic ritual is completed. Just like ordinary magic uses elliptical forms, it realizes the high-speed operation of compressed language that is impossible in principle. (There can be more than one.
The great magicians work together to use it.)
Dangnuo language magic: Ancient language magic is a secret meaning of dark magic. Originally, it was also used in ancient magic civilization. This used to require a high degree of theory and technology to use spells. But in modern times, it has been simplified (just
The degree of difference) Dark magic has been reconstructed. To use ancient language magic, you must have a contract with the disappeared ancient god, which is also one of the difficulties in using this kind of magic. (However, some dark magicians set out to regenerate the original elements of ancient magic civilization.
The spell has achieved some success, but few people understand and use it.)
It is a kind of negotiation with another world and a higher-dimensional world. It is a magic that summons the creatures in it to the material world and completes the task. (Of course, you can also make a contract, but this is magic.
The user's personal behavior.) However, the summoned creatures may not necessarily have good intentions towards the magic user (if they are summoned reluctantly, most of them will be malicious. Even the creatures who have made a contract will have this situation, but it is basically okay.
Stable.), so it is also difficult to make the summoned creatures obey the user's will. If the user's control fails, it will be possible to put the most malicious creatures from other worlds into the material world.
Zhen Meng: The magic of light and spirit creates illusions and confuses the opponent. Although lower-level illusions are relatively easy to see through, advanced illusions can definitely reach a level that makes it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
牉
Dark Monk Magic: Each of these is the power of God that appears in matter through the prayers of monks. Compared with other magic that manipulates nature, the prayers used by monks can perform miracles because they directly reference the power of God.
The results appear suddenly without any process. Holy magic has deep compassion for human beings and is a friendly god's work. Therefore, it mainly focuses on healing and mental recovery.
The Dark Monk Magic is a magic that is very suitable for killing, demoralizing, corrupting, etc. the God of Chaos.
The school also has item creation and other spells to create magic items. (It is very simple, so friends who are interested can organize and supplement it in more detail. ^
_^)
牐甔jue饽芰: An ability that magical creatures are born with. The principle is the same as magic spells, but there are no chants, rituals, etc. (It is the petrification and other abilities possessed by some Warcraft ^_^)
Spell: Just like its name, the spell is a spell that can kill the opponent, inflict incurable damage, or make it obey mandatory orders. In short, the user can control the opponent according to his own will.
spell
牐犐窳槭: There are various [principles] in the world, and all things are circulated according to them. But this is only relative to the objects in this world, and this may not be the case for higher-order existences. Beings called gods can use them
Consciousness directly becomes the result of reality
If there is light, there will be light. The creation of the world may be just a matter of words (what an exaggerated God). This has nothing to do with the evolution process. Sometimes the power of God has the same effect as magic, and sometimes it is the same as magic.
Totally different
Generally speaking, the spells of the sacred magic of Dangwanhuaipu are similar to the magic of the gods. However, the magic of the sacred is that monks beg the gods to achieve miracles, so there are many restrictions. The royal powers of these gods are called the magic of the gods.
] Spiritual magic usually appears in the form of [song] (for example, the song of an angel is the manifestation of spiritual magic in the real world)
3The casting of magic
There are three basic conditions for using magic—sufficient magic power, the magic frequency of a specific magic, and a suitable environment.
The first condition and the third condition are very obvious, but the second condition may make you confused. What is the magic frequency? Please pay attention to this concept, it is a very important part of the magic world.
Release enough magic power at the appropriate frequency, and you have completed a magic casting process. If you successfully simulate the magic frequency of this magic, you have succeeded, otherwise you have failed.
Can you understand this? If you can't understand, let's start with the phenomenon of magic.
From a phenomenological point of view, the fireball emitted by a senior magician and the fireball emitted by a trainee magician are essentially the same. Isn't it? They are equally dazzling and have the same heat. From a purely phenomenological point of view, who can say that the fireball is bigger?
Is the fireball fired by a magician different from the fireball fired by a trainee magician?
No matter what method is used to form a fireball, the basic conditions for forming a flame must first be met - there is a flammable substance and the ignition point of the substance is reached. We have already said that combustible substances are generally oxygen and hydrogen, and the focus is on the second half - reaching the ignition point.
.
What is the reason for the increase and decrease in the temperature of objects? Who still remembers the causes of this physical phenomenon? It is the movement of molecules that determines these. If you don't remember this, go back and review junior high school physics. Being a magician does not just require reciting spells.
Polymerize and burn hydrogen and oxygen - the little fireball magic contains all the elements of magic. We also need to control the scope of the magic, otherwise we will be unlucky. When hydrogen and oxygen polymerize, they have a specific frequency range.
When hydrogen and oxygen within this frequency range meet, the polymerization phenomenon we need will occur.
This frequency range is certain for a specific magic, and different magics have different frequency ranges. This is the secret of magic frequency.
Magic is a method of using power other than physical strength (magic power).
The way to control these powers (magic) is to use your mental powers.
The process of casting magic is the process of driving magic power to simulate the frequency of magic.
In fact, not all magic is used in war. When many people think of magicians, they directly think of "attack power xxx, defense power xx". This is not a good habit. Please remember that magic is just a skill.
4 magic props
In a sense, magic is a way to use power other than physical strength. We have said this many times before. However, there are many ways to use power, and some can even be used by those who do not have much magic foundation.
People can also use low- and intermediate-level magic. Of course, it's only part of it and not all of it, but it's enough for us, isn't it?
Most of the reasons why ordinary people cannot use magic are due to lack of magic power. Not understanding the frequency of a certain magic is a trouble that only occurs after becoming a trainee magician. However, no matter what the reason is, the conclusion that they cannot use magic is certain.
.To change this conclusion, there is only one way:
I can't walk over the mountain, so I have to walk over it - find a way to meet the conditions required to use magic.
The first substance discovered to have the effect of storing magic power was agarwood - a not rare plant. After research and improvement by many magicians, it was used for lighting - this is a well-documented magical application.
Pioneer. Later, many minerals with the effect of storing magic power were discovered one by one, which eventually led to the emergence of magic props.
The first thing that has the properties of a magic prop is a magic lamp. Its materials are Mingxiang wood and Jessel stone. The former is also called Mingyue grass. Although it looks like grass, it is actually a woody plant.
.Normally, it can absorb light magic power. When encountering loud noise or being stimulated by light magic, it will emit light and bloom and bear fruit, and then die. The specially cultivated moon grass can maintain a certain state for a long period of time.
The brightness is usually reserved for the royal family.
The process of cultivating Moon Grass is long and complicated. In addition to gardeners, at least one magician who understands light magic is required to transmit magic power to it. Later, light magician Jessel discovered that there is a mineral that has the same
properties, and used this mineral to create the world's first magic lamp. From then on, this mineral was called the Stone of Light - also known as the Stone of Jessel.
How to put it this way, after a magic prop is made, the maker does not need to worry about it. It can release the magic power contained in the prop when it is stimulated by the outside world. This is a common feature of almost all magic props.
Using a very small amount of magic or a specific frequency of speech to stimulate the magic power in the props allows the user to cast magic that would otherwise be impossible. This is the principle of magic props.
Originally, the process of making magic props was long and complicated. Later, the mage Qu Zhe, who had practiced magic in another world (please refer to Across Different Worlds), injected new vitality into magic props. Generally speaking, magic props are divided into
The following types:
Active and passive.
There are not too many types of active magic props. In fact, most of these magic props are used for tracking and anti-tracking purposes. The simplest such magic props have specific magic fluctuations that fluctuate when disturbed.
Will change. Of course, the premise is that there is a magician among the stalkers. At this time, such magic props will release the magic power stored inside or stop working.
Passive magic props - also known as stimulating magic props, generally require the user to use them under certain conditions. For example, to make a certain sound - there was once a famous demon in history who used an almost funny spell as his own.
How to open the door of the tomb: [Remove the thousand-year seal, open the road to the taboo, and inherit the life of the universe. The west mile is booming and the sound is flowing. Kua Ma, I am your mother. In the name of Alibaba, open sesame.]
In fact, the production of magic props is a matter of opinion. Just have ideas and abilities. For example, the water mirror, a communication prop that uses magic waves to spread information, the magic sniper bow that does not require arrows at all, etc. Many magic props are simply whimsical at the beginning.
.So if you have an idea - just do it.
5 magic learning
If you are new to witchcraft or magic, or just starting to learn, I think this will be an instructive article. I will tell you some basic points, and what you must learn - although they may seem
It may not matter, but it will profoundly affect your future study and make you get twice the result with half the effort.
1Wicca magic is a religious belief
——Are you ready to accept a new belief or even a new way of life?
This is a very basic common sense, although it is often ignored. The definitions of words like "witchcraft" and "magic" are still not very clear to this day. You may think that a certain branch of Judaism teaches magic, or Enoch magic (enoch magic).
) is witchcraft, and for foreigners, Tibetan Buddhist meditation or Taoism is undoubtedly magic. From a certain perspective, witchcraft or magic is actually the difference between mainstream religious beliefs and other non-mainstream belief systems.
The general name is pagan worship (pagani**).
Almost all witchcraft and magic are based on some kind of belief. Isis (ic) magic is undoubtedly deeply related to Nordic mythology beliefs, and Kabbalah (a) has become an independent new religion. Simply put, people who do not believe in angels
It is impossible to perform the spell of summoning angels, and it is impossible for people who do not believe in the existence of fairies to try to communicate with fairies. Therefore, belief is the basis of witchcraft and magic.
Of course you can only learn some small skills (such as the small spells filled above), but if you want to go deep, faith is essential. So when you start, you have to understand that you are coming into contact with a faith (this faith can almost be said to
It is a kind of religious belief), and may accept it as your lifelong belief - just like Christians and Buddhists. Therefore, if you are already a believer of a certain religion, I suggest that you discover the mystery within your own religion
The source of doctrine (any religion has such a thing), and don’t be dazzled by the various magic sayings popular in the market and follow an inheritance that you don’t understand at all, lest one day you fall into the trap of “either betray the past”
Believe, or give up the career you love."
2 Various types of magic
-Be fully aware of the different schools and choose carefully which traditions you will follow.
After reading the above, I believe you should already have a slight understanding of the brilliance of magic. This may be somewhat different from our general concept. Many people think that "magic" is just "magic", and at most it is divided into the so-called "white magic"
” and “black magic”, or maybe divided into “summoning” and “curse”? But the truth is – that’s not the case at all. The Chinese government prohibits religious groups from conducting missionary activities in public, so you may feel these
Things are very mysterious. But in foreign countries, there are many mystical sects in large numbers. Although their followers are far less than those of several major religions, they are still quite numerous. As for the system of witchcraft and magic, its types are determined by the beliefs it is based on and the schools it belongs to.
They are different, and they are so numerous that they lead to an outrageous level. Some of them have the same goal, and some have completely different results. Of course, there are also so-called "mainstream" witchcraft and magic and "non-mainstream" ones.
At this time you will understand why there are two people who are studying magic at the same time, but nothing they say is similar. It is very important to learn to understand different schools, and to still respect other different schools even after in-depth study.
.In an argument, it is possible that no one is wrong, but that everyone is saying completely different things.
The best way is that you first understand the different genre traditions, and then choose the one you think is most suitable for you for in-depth study. For a person who has just started to contact this field, before deciding on the final direction of study, "Wander"
"One or two years, or even ten or eight years are acceptable. After all, this is something to be cautious about. Of course, for people who aspire to become "magicians" (let us call it that for the time being, in your
As you study, you will naturally understand why this term is shallow), and you must also avoid the "purchasing mentality". When you see something novel, you will rush to it without ever persisting. In this way, you will achieve nothing in the end.
3. Learning to judge is crucial
--Know them, but don't believe them until they prove themselves to you that they are true.
I’m afraid I don’t need to criticize the shortcomings of Chinese education here, but the fatal flaw is that the education we receive has never taught us how to judge. No matter what we see, we will believe it to be true, and the judgment of its true degree depends on
Wherever we see it, what the authority says is right, what is printed in the book is definitely not wrong, and the portal station must be more correct than the small station in the corner.
Now you have to abandon all these concepts and learn to use your eyes, your brain, and your heart to judge. It has to be said that witchcraft and magic is a dangerous river, with hidden reefs formed by various misconceptions, coveting it.
The crocodile of your money and even your life also has a whirlpool caused by difficult concepts. Danger caused by obsession, fraud and various other reasons are everywhere. It can lead you to swim in the ocean of wisdom, or it can make you fall into a bottomless abyss.
.
When crossing the river, you need to be resourceful and brave. Soon you will find that various theories, methods, beliefs and precepts that have nothing to do with each other are overwhelming you. Be brave enough to understand all the theories, but be cautious about everything you see.
Be skeptical, and be careful about what others say. Even the compiled classics may be full of errors. Don't believe anything you can't tell is "true," even if you can't tell it is "untrue."
”. Just wait and see what happens, random fabrications will always reveal their flaws.
This is very difficult for beginners, and even experts sometimes can't tell what's real and what's fake - that's the thing about Wiccan magic. But at the same time, if you learn to tell,
Judgment, you already have the basic potential of a magician. In history, any famous mystic is also a philosopher, theologian, mathematician, medical scientist, or even a natural scientist. Wisdom is always the basic foundation of a magician.
One of the characteristics.
4 Find a great mentor
——An excellent mentor is worth your life to serve him, but a fake mentor can only lead you to hell.
An excellent mentor will pave the way for your future. He can help you save ten years or even a lifetime of struggle. To be honest, whether you can meet an excellent mentor depends entirely on personal blessings and opportunities. But I can tell you
, what an excellent mentor should roughly look like. This is not a template. Each mentor has his own temperament and habits. But if there are too many discrepancies, the mentor is likely to be a liar - this is very common.
A mentor should have profound wisdom. The reason why a person can be called a teacher is because he is superior in a certain field. Therefore, you must first consider his knowledge. He should not just know a little more than you.
Diandian should be an expert in a certain field. He can explain the matter clearly to you from beginning to end, cite scriptures and provide convincing reasons.
A tutor should have a gentle temperament. It is difficult to express this in words, but you will naturally understand it when you meet it. Those excellent tutors are polite to others, and they are also good at teaching students, and they will not start or stop at will.
Your study, or treating your problems roughly. Of course, a gentle temperament is not necessary for a "great magician", but if you don't have this temperament, you are not suitable for being a teacher. At least your study will be easy to get half the result with twice the effort.
Finally, I strongly recommend that you carefully examine the character of your mentor. Because the lives of mystics in history are mostly mysterious, we have no way to examine their character. But what is certain is that no matter how knowledgeable a person is,
Gao, if his character is really bad, you'd better give up on him. He may use his profound knowledge to defraud you of your money, or teach you something useless - this kind of teacher has a bad temper.
Tutors also need to eat, so a certain amount of remuneration is completely understandable. But here I also warn you that a person who is greedy for money and reputation has no chance of becoming a great magician. They actually put fame and fortune at the expense of
They are greater than the truth and God. It is conceivable that they cannot study with concentration, and they cannot be pure in front of the truth. When you meet such people, you'd better stay away from them, regardless of their knowledge or character.
They are definitely not worthy of being a mentor.
Once you choose a tutor, you must trust him, obey him, and study hard no matter how difficult the process is. An excellent tutor will consider the students, and at the same time, you should also become a mentor worthy of him.
Excellent students. Likewise, if you don’t have a mentor, don’t give up. He may be waiting for you in your future. In addition, there are also many self-taught people.
5. Some final suggestions
; Proficient in at least one foreign language
Some people hate foreign languages, but you'd better learn them, otherwise you will never see the "true face" of the literature, and you will only be able to eat what others have chewed, which is obviously not good for your judgment. Of course, English is very

No longer practical), there are also a lot of ancient Arabic documents. In addition, if you are interested, you can also come into contact with some ancient texts, which will give you a special sense of superiority.
;See as many as possible
As many as possible, in as many types as possible, and the wider the scope, the better. Don't worry about whether they are useful for the moment, each one has its own value (I'm not talking about romance novels). It depends on your judgment,
Even wisdom will play a great role. You can also look at the teachings of different religions, understand the rituals of different witchcraft, and the thoughts of different scholars. This will be very interesting.
; Start meditating
Although there are many types of witchcraft and magic, most of its basic practice methods include meditation, so even if you have not chosen your own direction, you can start meditating first. There are many methods of meditation, and you can also create your own meditation.
Method, but its essence is: stay in a comfortable posture, relax your whole body, and focus on something (it can be a flower, a sound, or something else that is comfortable but not of significant significance) or
Think about nothing, experience a calm heart, and keep your mind clear. Meditation needs to be gradual and the emphasis is on persistence. You can start by sitting for five minutes every morning. One day you will find that you can sit for an hour or even longer without feeling tired.
