The Ninefold Steps
A practical path for those who sought power, certainty, or relief
but instead found themselves ruled by magic.
First Tenet: Magic is not rational

- Through abstinence, I may regain reason.
- Magic destroys my reason.
Second Tenet: Magic is not transactional
- If I live rightly, life will unfold rightly.
- The right path will not always look like the path I expected.
- To bargain with fate through magic is to invite disaster.
Third Tenet: You cannot master magic
- I accept that magic is not mine to rule.
- I come to trust life instead of magic.
- I will practice mastery of life without magic.
