Taylor Ellwood encourages people who are interested in practicing magic, as well as veteran practitioners, to break free from dogmatic approaches to practicing magic. Instead, as the manifesto on his website states, he encourages you to become a Magical Experimenter; to create your own magical systems, develop your own magical workings and challenge what’s known by venturing into the unknown.


In this episode, Taylor discusses:

The broad scope of the many books he’s authored, both fiction and non-fictionHis introduction to magic as a teenagerThe dangers of getting caught in one way of thinkingHow he relates to spiritsThe importance of having direct experienceHow working with magic has opened him upExperiential embodimentThe gift of difficult experiencesThe subtle nature of spiritual connectionHis unique approach to Elemental MagicDaemons and demonsHow spirits mirror things back to usThe invitation to “work the book” rather than just read itThe importance of having discipline
