In the world of magic, that's one of the most valuable things you can have. But I think you also need it just to understand what you're doing. Without philosophy, you won't even know what the four elements are. Instead it all just seems like outdated nonsense.

Since when is that philosophy?

Since the idea of the elements were conceived

Aren't they just an early attempt at science?

Oh my you're even newer to this than I am, that's kind of refreshing.

You will soon discover that everything you were told in school about anything remotely related to the Mysteries was at best a dismissal and at worst an outright lie.

You are surrounded every day by symbols that have meanings you don't understand. Signs, currency, uniforms, music, movies, television, architecture... Everything is just saturated with esoteric symbolism. It's a hell of a ride, enjoy it even though it will bring you hardship and destroy your worldview before long if you pursue it seriously.

Unrelated anon but the suffering just keeps getting greater. I feel closer to myself and to God/the source of creation every day though.
