Welcome to witchcraft 101. I literally couldn’t think of another title for this section.
Essentially, when it comes to all occult practices, there is a baseline knowledge that is super easy to understand. This knowledge will span all the way across any domain of esoteric knowledge you are looking into.
Everything falls into principles. Keep in mind, that the nature of these principles may not be the most politically correct in their wording— but nonetheless it is how they are taught. Terms such as “Masculine” and “Feminine”, one of the most fundamental properties of anything magic— can simply be translated to “positive” and “negative”, “Extroverted” and “Introvert”, “Conscious” vs “subconscious”, “External” vs “Internal” etc etc etc
