CTP Study Videos – Magic for Priests, Question 3

In this session, we’re going to talk about the importance of trance magic in Indo-European cultures. Specifically, we’ll cover:

  • Question 3 of Magic for Priests in the ADF Clergy Training Program

  • Question 4 for Initiate Trance 1 in the Initiate Program

  • Question 3 in Magician’s Trancework in the Magician’s Guild Study Program

I had some trouble not diving deep into different sorts of altered states, but I know there are questions about that in Trance 1, so I’ve let it be for now.

We’ll cover trance in Greek, Hellenistic, Celtic, Norse, and Vedic cultures to get as broad as we can, and talk about how we can make use of some of these techniques ourselves as we grow our practice. We’ll also talk a bit about “shamanism” and how it’s just not the right word for us to use.

I learned some pretty neat stuff, and I got to make a graphic of the Oracle of Trophonius (included in the attachments, with the transcript), which is my favorite Greek oracle.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
