The interest for magic is often rooted in a wish to know what no-one can know, the future, and to control what cannot be controlled, namely what hasn’t happened yet. This is a misunderstanding. The future is out of reach, but what we can get to know better is the now. If you study the now, you will come to understand, that every part of this moment is shaping your future, every bit of it. When you understand this, you can not only “predict” what is coming, but also change the outcome, and actively shape the future.  To explore your inner landscape in correlation with the outer world, it is helpful to get into the habit of consulting your subconscious. Readings, meditation and mindfulness are all useful tools to do this.  Pick the one method that feels right for you, it might differ from time to time.
