If you would be a magician, honor the Earth. Honor life. Love. Know that magic is the birthright of every human being, and wisely use it.

Honor all living things, for we are of the stag, and the salmon, and the bee; so destroy not life, save it be to preserve your own.

Seek wisdom in books, rare manuscripts, and cryptic poems if you will, but seek it out also in simple stones, and fragile herbs, and in the cries of wild birds. Listen to the whisperings of the wind and the roar of water if you would discover magic, for it is here that the old secrets are preserved.

Books can lift our spirits, heal our wounds, steel our courage and strengthen our religious resolve.

Magic is the projection of natural energies to produce needed effects.

Magic is the practice of causing change through the use of powers as yet not defined or accepted by science.

Eventually, ritual was developed as a means of contacting and utilizing the energy within humans as well as in the nature world.
