Chapter X: Operative Magick

Most people come to
magick out of a desire to make change beyond any other means. Perhaps they
thought magick was the easy way to do things. Or they fancied having power that
would impress potential mates. They start with an ego centered and aggrandized,
fantasy version of magick that can vanquish their problems with a flick of a
wand. If you have made it this far and practiced the exercises contained, you’re
probably well beyond this point and already know magick does not make up for
poor planning and resources, and that it is in no way “easy.”

However, what’s the point
of playing dice with the gods if you don’t bring a loaded pair every once in a
while?
