People dealing with the inverted reality of the universe are traditionally divided into three groups.

This group includes two categories of Hikers: some are those who do not have significant intellectual abilities and are simply unable to understand concepts and categories, and therefore consider these concepts and categories to be “nonsense.” The second category of magicians who fall into this group are people who have great power from birth, which sweeps away obstacles in their path and ensures successful implementation even without understanding the mechanisms of what is happening

The second large group, polar to the first, consists of the so-called “occultists”, “theosophists” and “esotericists”. Most of them have a large set of theories that explain what is happening in both the front and back reality, but it never occurs to them to test such hypotheses. In fact, for such people Magic is a religion, an article of faith, and not a way of life

By and large, neither one nor the other can be called Mages. The word “sorcerers” is more applicable to the former, and “philosophers” to the latter.

Traditional training in Magic has always paid equal attention to both theoretical training and practical, “combat” skills. The magician, on the one hand, must clearly understand what he is doing and what happens in response to this action, and on the other hand, he must have purely practical, “body-oriented” ideas about how to act most effectively. Only in this case will his actions be truly strong and effective. Only in this case will his battles, won or lost, serve as an impetus for him to acquire Strength, Wisdom and Authority
