My magical training starts with a wonderful book, “Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard,”
by Oberon Zell-Ravenheart. I’ve only been reading for a few weeks, but each time I turn the page I want to devour every tiny bit of information all at once. I want to do every exercise, find every magical tool he lists, and know everything already. Becoming a Wizard doesn’t work like that. In order for your mind to adjust to magical workings, the information needs to be digested slowly. I reached a point where I was completely exhausted from trying to take in too much at once and have since slowed down. I’m now reading a little more passively, only trying a few new things at a time. I started with trying to see people’s auras, and it took me a couple of days before I could see my boyfriend’s. I still have trouble seeing anyone else, but I hypothesize that’s because it’s awkward to stare at strangers long enough for my eyes to adjust. Over time, with practice, I’ll be able to instantly see anyone’s aura on demand. If you start to feel frustrated with your pace, take a deep breath and possibly a break. Maybe try moving onto another area of magic – there are so many! But never give up; have patience.
