This is an invitation to embark on a year long adventure in practical, ritual magic in the Western Mystery Tradition. Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki’s Ritual Magic Workbook offers clear, down-to-earth guidance not only on practicing magic, but also unpacks what it means to be a magician, and an initiate in our lineage.

From SOL website: “W.E. Butler received his training in Dion Fortune’s Fraternity of Inner Light, which in turn stemmed from The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He served as director of studies of the Servants of the light until 1975, when he was succeeded by Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki, third-generation psychic, mediator, author, lecturer and workshop facilitator. Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki served as Director of Studies from October 31 1976 – 11th June 2018.”

Both Butler and Ashcroft-Nowicki are held in the highest regards by Naha, our head of faculty, and the bookclub has read both Lords of Light by Butler and Magical Use of Thought Forms by Ashcroft-Nowicki.

This structured 12-month commitment aligns with the Zodiacal New Year and is designed for sincere seekers willing to dedicate themselves to the hard work and discipline required to build a solid foundation in ritual magic. Guided by the workbook’s step-by-step lessons and supported by a committed group of peers, you will engage in a journey of exploration, practice, and growth.

Whether you’re new to magic or returning to deepen your skills, this study group provides a clear framework for learning the essentials and applying them meaningfully in your life.

Overview
