The first secret of magic we employ can change our lives. Each new secret we learn opens up whole new ways of thinking and of experiencing the world. We can spend many happy years exploring the new possibilities magic opens up for us.

There may come a time when we hit a plateau. We’ve done all the practices, worked hard, applied new knowledge, but nothing has changed for a while. There might be a problem that has been particularly hard to solve, an area of our lives that stubbornly refuses to move, or we might just be out of new ideas.

The advanced secrets can get us moving again. These secrets help us achieve magical maturity. With this experience we can gain confidence and step up to the next level of magical power.

We’ll begin working on advanced secrets next week.
