Principles of Magic, Part 1

from Wisdom, Love, and Beauty · host nikos patedakis

We consider three ways of understanding magic philosophically and scientifically, including a contemplation of the principles of magic crystalized by the poet W.B. Yeats. This episode helps us sense the intimacy and resonance between magical consciousness and spiritual or ecological consciousness. Ultimately, magic has to do with the practice and realization of ecosensual awareness, arising as wisdom, love, and beauty. But, first we have to face the taboos. Dangerous wisdom here---wisdom that carries us out of our own skin.
