Q: Do I need to complete all lessons within 120 days?

A: You can take as long as you Will with the course materials. We have specifically structured the lessons to be in 4 sections -- Earth, Air, Water, and Fire -- that are meant to last at least 30 days each. We therefore recommend taking a minimum of 120 days to go through the lessons of the entire course. We encourage students to return to previous lessons, and it is generally best when students go at their own pace. To that end, you can access the material indefinitely after you purchase the course.

Q: I'm busy! How much time is needed each day to work on this course?

A: We expect you to spend 30 minutes to an hour every day on this course, including reading the lessons and performing the practices. Less than this will lead to little progress being made. More than this leads to most people not having enough time or becoming quickly overwhelmed. We ask that students try to spend at least 30-60 minutes on average per day.

Q: Do I need previous experience?

A: No previous experience is needed. We assume you only have a desire to learn and to begin a magical practice based in Aleister Crowley's system of Thelemic Magick.

Q: Will I be a super advanced Magician if I complete this course?

A: This course is intended to teach the basic fundamentals needed to start a daily magical practice. Course materials will be added over time to improve this course, but there will be other intermediate and advanced courses in the future where students will be able to go more in depth into their practices.

Q: Is this based on A.'.A.'. or Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO)?

A: NO. Although many of the practices draw on the tradition of A.'.A.'. as expounded by Crowley in his journal The Equinox, the Aleister Crowley's Magick course is not formally based on the A.'.A.'. or OTO. Completing this course confers no benefits or rights within any A.'.A.'. or the OTO. Having "degrees" or standing in any organization such as A.'.A.'. or OTO confers no benefit in these courses. Although we believe that this course serves as a good beginning course that may lead some individuals to join thelemic organizations. However, it is absolutely not necessary to be part of a Thelemic organization to complete this course (or to be a Thelemite!)

Q: Are there initiation ceremonies? 

A: NO. There are no physical or virtual initiation ceremonies as this is a course of self-study. The only real initiation comes from your own hard work and this course intends to give a framework to help you get started on your Path.

Q: Do I need to be a Thelemite?

A: NO. You do not need to be anything other than interested in learning how to start a magical practice based in Aleister Crowley's Thelemic magick.

Q: Will we learn about qabalah, astrology, (insert topic here)...?

A: Probably not. The focus of this course is not on teaching students everything, but teaching the basics of how to start your magical practice. Although we acknowledge that study of magical theory and related fields is of course helpful.... the primary focus of this course is on practice, not theory.

Q: Do I do one lesson/lecture per day?

A: The course is broken into 4 Sections -- Earth, Air, Water, and Fire -- that are meant to last for at least 30 days minimum. Each of the 4 Sections is composed of several lessons and practices. We have not spaced out each Lesson to be one per day. Instead, when you begin a Section, you may read through all of the lesson materials at your regular pace, and you are expected to spend at least 30 days focusing on the practices taught in those lessons.
