I've made it a practice to concentrate on the more esoteric arcana and most misunderstood philosophical or related terms. Avoiding as much as I can the words and concepts which are abundantly defined elsewhere. Where the wise of the past and present fail to provide, I've interpolated my own quirky insights. ready, as greater and greater numbers of seekers are putting it, for "specific" instruction, even though postmodern minds scarcely understand the words. Continuing in the spirit of that Renaissantial pizzazz which began in the 1960's to raise Hermetic studies from their immemorial grave, we are now entering a much more psychically advanced era.
Thus, neither ordinary religion, with its parched, subnatural separation from physical, supposedly "unclean" bodies, nor science with its tedious and incessant denial of all "taint" of self, can be called magic. But what we are painfully learning for the first time is that magic comes out of our connectedness to the world and is in no way whatsoever the wielding of some mystical power over things from "outside" them. Nature itself endlessly engages in creatively magical acts every moment.
It's true that only deliberate action which produces a visible ripple over the surface of reality is a magical act. In only the most ordinary sense are we "already" magicians. Moreover, the so-called "New Age" (which is anything but) has produced already so much over- merchandised junk and shadow without substance, that it's clear no mere grain of salt, appearing alongside that sea of sugar, can expect much attention.
