spiritusarcanum:

First one learns methods of magic.

Then comes doing by prescription.

Then comes adaption to means and circumstances.

Then drafting your own poetry, ritual, expression.

Then thinking upon one’s feet and altering the course/action of magic, and flipping the script when it becomes clear, mid-process, that things aren’t going to turn out the way you’d intended.

We continue to grow, explore, expand, and refine.

The journey is a blessing.
