Natural
Magick System Statement of Principles
*Natural Magick is a system of magick within the modern
NeoPagan and Western Tradition.
*Natural Magick is a tradition that honors and observes Nature.
*Human Nature is a subset of Nature and therefore Natural
Magick is guided by love, respect and devotion of Nature towards the unfolding
of Human individualism, will, and ritual magick.
*Natural Magick respects and advocates for the unfolding of the
destiny and fortune of All Living Species.
*Natural Magick acknowledges Science as the Consensus Reality
and the most current expression of the Western Tradition.
The Natural Magick Tradition of ritual magick is a direct
descendant of the Reclaiming Tradition, and we are whole hearted participants
and students of Reclaiming. Beyond that, we research, pioneer, test and adapt
our modern tradition to serve the needs of the laity, Priest/esshood and Magick.
The Natural Magick tradition specifically teaches the arts of
Botany, Native Botany, Native Gardening, Wildcrafting, Herbalism, Herb
Gardening, and the use of Herbs, Essential Oils, and the natural produce of the
international botanical market to create Magick Potions of High Quality for all
manners of positive Human intentions. This art form we call “Potioneering,” and
Natural Magick potions are produced under a rigorous System.
Natural Magick Shop turned ten years old on Thanksgiving Day
of 2016. Over this decade, and the decade prior, I have been developing the
Natural Magick process of potioneering, as well as training in Priestess
skills. Gardening, Wildcrafting, Priest/ess skills, and a broad bandwidth of
history and lore have woven together into Natural Magick, becoming what I
believe can now be considered a distinct Magickal Tradition with a wealth of
instruction, support and challenge for the Student and Seeker.
The intention of the Natural Magick courses will be to 1)
train the Initiate in the Arts and Crafts of Natural Magick and Priest/esshood
and 2) support Natural Magick Shop (the business) with a Fair Trade of Labor
and Funding.
Simply put, classes will be taught in exchange for some labor
plus some money on a sliding scale.
I have developed and am further developing material for two
tracks within the Natural Magick Tradition. All Initiates will be trained in
the Priest/ess Path, which will be a traditional year-and-a-day regimen of
instruction in Sabbat, Esbat, lore and basic-imtermediate magickal technique.
Initiates may also choose to join a Potions Path that can be taken alongside
the priest/ess Path. The Potions Path will be a hands-on Gardening, Botany,
Native Plants and Wildcrafting course of instruction leading up to training in
making Magick Potions.
For now, this course of Natural Magick instruction is available for Austin area participants. In time, I hope to make it available far and wide via podcast and traveling magicians!
