Many magi have quite the ego. I am not an exception. It
\nrequires a certain amount of hutzpah to write a book on magick and believe it
\nworthy to be added to the already massive corpus of knowledge on the subject.
\nProclaiming one\u2019s station and ability, however over inflated those claims, is
\npart of the tradition. Not all spirits are friendly. Some need to be
\nintimidated. The magus does this by listing their position, their lineage, and
\ntheir allies in the spirit world.<\/p>\n

Is it all bullshit? Yes, and no. At least in my case. I
\nfreely admit I am a lazy and undisciplined ass who preaches more than he
\npractices. That needs to end now.<\/p>\n

Almost all magical systems start off by giving a perspective
\ninitiate a system of exercises meant to build up their skills in achieving
\naltered states of consciousness and develop a means of magical self-defense.
\nThese skills are vital for any magus. In fact, I wrote my own prescribed
\nexercises specifically for Emergent Magick (EMK). <\/b>I call it Liber F, or Liber
\nFodienda, Latin for \u201cThe Book of Mining.\u201d<\/b> <\/a>Named after one of the core
\nprinciples of EMK\u2014 \u201cThe Citadel of Emergent Magick is built from stone mined through
\nthe disciplines of yoga.\u201d<\/p>\n

Time for full disclosure. I hope this makes some people feel
\nbetter about themselves and shatters the illusion that any of us are perfect.
\nI\u2019m doing this from memory so most likely there have been many more failures
\nnot listed. Here is my history of working various systems of magical
\nexercise.<\/p>\n
