Within many Witches’ covens there is a strong reliance upon ceremonial magick as a means of achieving life goals.
We hope to persuade you, by means of this paper, that physical acts, external environment and behavior have their place in our work. They are important, but a more effective means of achieving life ambitions and goals than a ceremonial approach would be to use the pure powers of the Mind in attunement with Cosmic Mind through the vehicles of concentration and visualization. We propose that our efforts should overwhelmingly go into non-physical mental/spiritual/psychic training, and that only a small (but ultimately important) share of our time, energy, and money go into the physical side of doing the Higher Work.
Even though we have written this paper for neo-pagans, and Wiccans in particular, we have framed many of the ideas in general enough terms that those of other religions and spiritual paths should be able to read it unhindered by belief or training. All human beings, regardless of background, need to learn and use visualization to become truly effective in the world.
