Those who wish to pursue a magickal path should first concern themselves with personal balance?
If a person interested in the magickal arts does not possess the self-knowledge, maturity and foundation to live a balanced life – body, mind and spirit – then it is rather unlikely he or she will get very far. Magick is not the “easy” way to fix one’s life. First, a person must fix what he can repair through his own efforts (self-knowledge), then enlist the aid of the magickal energies to help with the rest.
