There are a number of skills and techniques that every spell caster should know and hopefully master in order to perform successful magic. Meditation and the proper channeling of emotional energy are the most important skills to learn, and this section will guide you through all of the exercises needed to become a proficient magical practitioner of this or any system of practical magic. In addition to the proper training of the mind, it is important to understand that as you send forth the energy of your spell, it radiates out into both the physical plane and the astral plane as a means of manifesting your goal. The physical plane is of course made up of the physical world, and in this world everything emits an energy pattern of its own.
