CTP Study Videos – Magic for Priests, Question 5

After a really good Harvest Nights Festival, I’m back with another one of these study videos!

In this session, we’re going to talk about key techniques and symbols in Indo-European cultures, regarding magic. We’ll answer:

  • Question 5 of Magic for Priests in the ADF Clergy Training Program

  • Question 10 in Initiate Magical Theory and Techniques 1 in the Initiate Program

  • Question 5 in Magical Techniques 1 in the Magician’s Guild Study Program

When I thought the last one sent me down rabbit holes, I clearly hadn’t looked ahead. I found some deep-seated problems with the question, particularly around “key symbols” and what that means. This was a super hard script to organize, because the question is culturally specific, but the study guide can’t be. I had to find a way to provide a starting point, but not to dive so deeply that I had to make 10 or more individual videos to answer the question in each culture.

So, this one is a bit different, but still good and fun. There’s more to come. I’m excited about tackling the practical questions next!
