'The Simple Rule Of Contact'
There is a simple rule in magical contact work; do not bother to debate the so-called reality of your contacts; but do behave as if they are real at the time of communication or interaction. Like people in the outer world, innerworld contacts will come and go; some will prove to be important, others will be fleeting encounters. Intellectual debate is meaningless in magical art, it can carry us on so far. But this does not imply that we should abandon scepticism, analysis or sound common sense. An innerworld contact that proposes absurd suggestions is just as dangerous as any inbalanced personality making absurd suggestions in the outer world. If a contact appears to be absurd, the magician challenges it; often the image and message will transform if correctly challenged or channelled. Modern occultism has more or less abandoned this element of magical ritual which featured strongly in the curious grimoires of medieval ceremonial magic, or in folk tales -- RJ Stewart.
