The Mage Tower

Grimoires are ubiquitous, complex, and compelling. Many people are interested in them, but don't know how to approach them with forethought and confidence. If you want to work in the ceremonial sphere, though, they are key references to have familiarity with. So, today, we will be discussing a strategy for using grimoires in modern times including advice on how to read, adapt, and investigate them.

If you're looking for an expedient walkthrough of the Lenormand system of divination from the beginning steps to the most advanced practices, The Mage Tower has you covered! Card meanings, combination readings, the grand tableau, omen logic, and all the tools you need are here.

And you'll also get some insight into how the Lenormand can further your magical work.

Being a brief and broad survey of ceremonial and magical vessels, this episode is an introduction to the history and use of vessels for non-mundane purposes. We discuss the development of these vessels, how they were used, how they reflect cross-cultural influence, and why some vessels fall into ritual disuse. Later, we discuss the potential for novel magical vessels and how our relationship to magical vessels can deepen in the modern era. Plus, learn a little about my process and how the vessel is a mirror to the man who crafts it.

In this episode, we discuss the relative strengths and weakness of different divinatory systems, using oracles in tandem, how to tactically utilize divination for self-development, and using divination to aid the pursuits of practical magic. Whether you are new to divination or a lifelong practitioner, this short episode is packed with guidance and ideas to help sharpen your practice.
