Frater W.I.T. returns to the show in episode 67 to discuss his book “Advanced Enochian Magick: A Manual of Theory, Training, and Practice for the Novice and the Adept“.

"Advanced Enochian Magick" by Frater W.I.T.

We open the conversation discussing the concept of using Magick as a
tool for the evolution of human consciousness. Frater W.I.T. talks
about the allure and effectiveness of the Enochian system, originally
developed by Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley in 1584. He restates his
belief that, “… Thelema is a direct expression of the futuristic ideal
of Enochian Magick… [the use of which] …leads to a transcendence of
time and space in the material universe. All new pathways of evolution
are possible.”

Dr. John Dee

Frater W.I.T. discusses his opinion that well-known criticisms of
Enochian Magick are factually incorrect and charges that these are
attempts to limit access to empowering methods. He believes that
dependence and co-dependence on the path of self-realization is
dangerous, and the experience should be liberating and empowering. He
talks about Dr. John Dee, Edward Kelley, Aleister Crowley, and the
negative perception of occult practitioners in general due to ignorance
and medieval thinking. His opinion is that these men suffered not
because of Magickal practice, but for a variety of more mundane reasons.

Frater W.I.T.’s intention by writing “Advanced Enochian Magick”
is to promote the practice of Magick and ultimately help individuals
evolve. He wrote this book to serve as a basic guide to those wanting
to become proficient in Magick in an independent manner. His book shows
not only why and how to practice, but what one should expect as
results. By providing an accessible, interesting, and distinct
perspective, he is reaching out to more advanced practitioners with new
material and trying to inspire neophytes to persevere.

Frater W.I.T. talks about the need to view Magick in a modern,
scientific context and promotes multi-disciplinary study in order that
consciousness may be better understood. He talks about the power of
elevated consciousness and projecting it into physical reality by the
use of Magickal practice. We finish off the conversation by discussing
the concepts of invocation and evocation.
