The magician cultivates in himself a state of security generated by his impeccable actions, and the main field of activity of the magician is Psychocosmos, and his main struggle is battles with internal predators. At the same time, the Path of Magic differs from many other Paths of self-improvement precisely in that it is the Path of the Warrior, and it is not for nothing that one of the Symbols of the Magician’s Power is the sword

In life, a magician has to deal not only with predators inhabiting his Psychocosmos, but also with external predators, both those who chose this Path on their own, and those whose very nature is to live at the expense of others. That is why Magic as a system includes not only the expansion of consciousness, not only the accumulation of Power, but also the development of the spirit and skills of the Warrior

Various magical movements focus attention on this aspect to varying degrees: for some it becomes the basis of the Path, for others it is only one of the aspects, but recognition of its absolute importance and obligation is characteristic of all

Thus, anyone who sets foot on the Path of magic must clearly understand that this Path is not a joyful and calm ascent “from perfection to perfection,” but the Path of constant exhausting struggle - both internal and external, and the refusal to fight on this Paths mean unconditional and final defeat
