This video is something I wish I would have had when I started my journey into the world of the occult. In this video, I discuss esoteric magical practices and occult book recommendations for the beginner as well as advice for the beginner occultist. This video covers a wide range of magical practices including ones that derive from: neoplatonism, hermeticism, and kabbalah / qabalah. I also discuss other topics such as ceremonial magick and ancient universal shamanism.
