The Apprentice

Module 3: The Power Dynamics of Creation

The Third module of the apprentice section introduces the magician to aspects of creation and to the powers that flow through creation. The ritual patterns you learned in module two  are the 'plugs' for the appliance (ritual), and the dynamics, beings and powers on the threshold of creation are some of the plug sockets that connect the appliance to the power source: they are the interface between power and magical action.

This module looks at the powers and beings nearest to us, on 'our side of the threshold' that work and mediate the powers of creation into manifestation.


The Apprentice - Module 3 

 
Ibn Arabi had the power to meet the
spirit of any Prophet or Saint departed from this world, either by making him descend to the level of this world and contemplating him in an apparitional body similar to the sensible form of his person, or by making him appear in his
dreams, or by unbinding himself from his material body to rise to meet the spirit.
