Today, Ariel answers a few questions from students.

This meditation exercise is helpful to do just prior to performing a divination or beginning a session of scrying.

This episode on beginning divination and scrying wraps up A Witch's Primer.  Even though the basic class has now been completed, occasional episodes and Q&A sessions will be uploaded from time to time.  Blessed Be!

In this episode, Ariel discusses the essential use of color in magic.  He gives details also on how to perform candle magic.

So many questions for Ariel have piled up since he has been traveling over the past months.  This episode is dedicated to answering those questions.  A new Primer episode should be up within the next couple of weeks.

Today's lesson teaches about using a magic wand, one of the oldest and most powerful methods of casting spells and working magic. We apologize for the sound problems and hope you still enjoy the lesson.

This episode, although not a part of the actual training, gives the student some very effective techniques for working magic for money and prosperity.

Today's lesson is all about learning how to build and use thought-forms in order to create powerful results in magic.

In this class, Ariel goes step by step through the process of casting a magic circle and gives variations for solo and group work.

This lesson will help you to learn how to time your spells properly.

Lesson 12 covers the raising of magical power and gives the student different exercises to begin directing and focusing this power. Remember that whenever you feel an excess of energy in your body that you want to release, simply kneel down on the floor or ground and place the palms of your hands on the floor. Breathe deeply and allow any excess energy to drain away into the earth beneath you.

This lesson covers the basics of casting your first spells. These same basics set the stage for all further spell working.

This guided meditation helps you to balance your power base and energy centers.

In this class, Ariel discusses balancing the pyramid and opening our energy centers.

In the fourth lesson on building your power base, Ariel discusses the Earth body and how to secure it.

In the third lesson on building your power base, Ariel discusses the air body and how to begin conjuring it.

In the second lesson on building your power base, Ariel discusses the water body and how to begin awakening it.

In the first lesson on building your power base, Ariel discusses the fire body and how to build it.

This meditation helps to facilitate the meeting of a spirit mentor (also known as a spirit guide or spirit teacher). This is considered by many witches to be a very important relationship to foster.

Working with the spirits is a common practice among many witches. This class helps to give the student an introduction to the spirit world and some common types of spirits which you may encounter.

This is an effective method to achieve a magical trance. If you want to memorize the chant Ariel uses, it is: "Orb of power, orb of light ever peaceful, ever bright; Orb of light, orb of power, I conjure thee this sacred hour."

This is an introductory lesson in the cultivation states of consciousness necessary for magical work.

In this first Q&A session, Ariel answers some questions based on the material presented so far.

Journey into the realms of each element and balance the elements within you.

Today's class introduces you to the elements. Please be sure to download the supplemental information for free at the discussion group at http://thedcw.999.org and study the correspondence tables for each element. Note: If you loaded this class on January 12th, please download it again. Part of the middle of the file was missing due to a technical failure.

Use this exercise prior to any magical workings. There are many other grounding and centering techniques, please feel free to use any that feel right to you!

In this pod-class, Ariel describes each of the tools of the Craft. You may want to take notes and/or listen to this one a few times. You can find the support material at http://www.arielscorner.com/a-witchs-primer.html
