Advanced Witchcraft

So you've read your books that you can get your hands on. Hopefully you've read the sections under Beginning Witchcraft here.
There are many techniques for performing magick. Some, are rituals which carry significance and symbolism.
Rituals such as Drawing Down the Gods, and the Great Rite, take this form.
Others take the form of casting spells. Methods such as candle magick, which requires you to know the process for dressing the candle to your purpose.
All of these techniques can be learned and with practice, mastered.     
While is sounds simple enough, the practice is much more difficult.  It can take years of study to figure out some of the ideas, or how to work with them together in a single practice.
While you must learn a great deal of the Craft on your own, it may be that this will help you realize some thing quicker.
