Know Yourself: Understand your thoughts and motivations and take stock of both your vices and virtues. Chose to define yourself, instead of having the world informing who you should be.
Know Your Craft: Knowledge is not just obtained from books and teachers. Study and practice the craft; learn through your own experiences. Honor and celebrate; listen to nature. From your own theories and practices.
Learn: Learning never ends. Look to books, look to nature, look within, and listen. Life is a journey and there will always be a new theory, technique, or idea from which to glean knowledge: stay teachable.
Apply Knowledge with Wisdom: Use gained the wisdom to temper your action and to make informed decisions. Make your intentions clear and be ready to accept responsibility for any outcome.
Achieve Balance: A balanced life is a good one; Embrace opposites. All of our efforts cannot be settled on one aspect. Take time to care for our emotional, spiritual, and physical selves. Balance work with play; balance your diet and exercise and checkbook; magical and mundane intertwined: mental, physical, magical, and spiritual.
Keep Your Thoughts in Good Order: Thoughts manifest reality according to your intent and will before words even form. Magical energy is directed by intention and has an impact on all aspects of our lives: emotionally, mentally, spiritually, magically, physically.
Keep Your Words in Good Order: Words are bonds. They are verbalization of thought and carry power to both wound or reward. They should always be treated as such.
Celebrate Life: Existence on this planet is a gift and enjoy every breath. It is in acknowledging the little and big, the trials and triumphs, weeping and rejoicing, pleasure and sacrifice. Without the bad, there cannot be the good. Live life to the fullest!
Attune with the Cycles: Experience nature and understand that we are part of it, not apart from it. Notice as we move through the year and attune yourself to these movements. Follow the lunar cycle, celebrate the wheel. Recognize each season through growing and resting.
Breath and Eat Correctly: “Your body is a temple.” Strive to achieve optimal health. Breathing aids in raising energy, focus, and stress relief. Wholeness also comes from taking care of oneself physically. Eating a proper diet will help to make our bodies healthier and live longer. Health aids in magical working and make mundane tasks easier.
Exercise the Body: Respect the body that is given and keep it in shape. Things will come easier along with extra confidence. A healthy body feels better both physically and emotionally. We live longer are less encumbered during mundane and magical activities.
Meditate: Good for the mind, body, and soul. More than just one form, it helps us form clarity, for both mundane and spiritual reasons as it quiets and centers the mind. It allows us to focus the thought and will, reduces stress, and helps with all tasks by being able to focus and think clearly.
Honor Deity: This is more important for those who work include a spiritual aspect in their practice: honor those deities through rituals and celebrations. Serve them well and perhaps, more importantly, be an honor to them through example. By honoring them, we also honor ourselves and humans. They are present in every molecule.
