  • The Price to be Paid: The Apophis Lectures, Vol. 7

    Michael Kelly

    eBook
    In mid 2015, Michael Kelly, founder of The Apophis Club, and author of many books on Draconian Magic, began delivering a series of half hour lectures on magical subjects, two every month.These lectures cover a wide range of themes pertinent to Draconian magicians. They were initially offered by private subscription, and are now accessible through Michael's Patreon to his backers and supporters. The series is ongoing and there have been thirty-nine such podcast lectures at the time of this writing.The earliest lectures have now been taken down to make room for new ones. To ensure that these valuable pieces of magical instruction and insight are not lost to posterity, they are being released in ebook form.In this lecture, the topic under discussion is the price of successful magic. Too many magicians and occultists mistakenly believe magic to be easy: they believe it's the quick, hassle-free, alternative way of doing things, which will bring them everything they want for no cost at all. This lecture sets the record straight, detailing exactly the toll that magic demands from its practitioners, in terms of work, time, effort and responsibility. Magic changes the practitioner every bit as much as the world, it can have unforeseen consequences, and it most definitely has its cost. The understanding of this balance factor is the beginning of magical wisdom.
