General Theory of Magic (GTM)

The GTM course offers both a deep immersion into the General Theory of Magic and practical research into magical systems that have left a trace in this world.

The General Theory of Magic is a course dedicated to studying the laws, algorithms, and tools of the magical art. Throughout the course, students are tasked with recognizing, sensing, and perceiving the primordial source behind each algorithm and tool, gaining its support and the right to use it — in order to become more than simply human, to become what we call a mage.

Education within the “General Theory of Magic” course consists of cycles of lectures and sessions where:

the history of the formation of magical art, its mechanisms, and its laws is explored;
various religious and mythological systems are examined in detail as descriptions of magical influence;
magical keys are sought through in-depth analysis of myths, decoding the messages of ancient mages through proper understanding of mythological narratives, and researching magical systems, among many other aspects.

COURSE STRUCTURE

If you begin from the very start, you follow the Path of the Student.

The Scandinavian, Greco-Roman, and Celtic pantheons can be studied only through the Path of the Student.

Lessons 1–5 — Foundation for Study

Lessons 1–5 form the basis for all subsequent pantheons and systems, regardless of whether you choose the Path of the Student or the Path of the Listener. We always begin with the foundation.

Further classes are devoted to specific systems and pantheons.

Scandinavian Pantheon (Lessons 6–17)

Twelve lessons of deep immersion into the Scandinavian tradition, exploring the laws of reality-building within the Northern myth and revealing its sacred meaning. The program includes engaging discussions with colleagues, as well as reading and discussing literature.

Greco-Roman Pantheon (Lessons 18–29)

Twelve lessons exploring Greco-Roman mythology from the perspective of magical reality-building rather than simply mythological plots. Students investigate what stands behind each myth — who created it, for what purpose, and what is encoded within it. In this way, myth may become a foundation or building block for constructing one’s own reality. Whether your personal fate is connected to the Greco-Roman pantheon or not is something you will discover during these lessons.

Celtic Magic (from Lesson 30)

Subsequent lessons focus on the Celtic tradition, including continental, insular, and Irish Celtic magic, as well as Ogham.

Egyptian Pantheon

The next stage is devoted to the Egyptian pantheon — studying Egyptian magic, culture, and one of the most ancient and powerful systems. Students explore the influence the Egyptians left on modern reality and the algorithms that continue to function in today’s changing world. This module consists of twelve lessons.

Sumerian-Akkadian Pantheon

The journey then continues into the Sumerian-Akkadian pantheon — one of the oldest magical systems, which forms the foundation of ritual magic. Here lie the origins of ritual practice, the principles of working with divine channels, and many elements used today in classical magical traditions, including various ritualistic schools: back-book magic, white-book magic, and many more.

Abrahamic Systems

The next twelve lessons are devoted to Abrahamic systems — the established classical religions of today: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, and Manichaeism.

Slavic Magic

The final twelve lessons focus on Slavic traditions. Here — magically, mystically, and as a culmination — all knowledge gained throughout the previous stages of the course is brought together into a unified system, like rays of a sun reflected in the learning structure.
