How to Increase your Energy Pool:
So now, earlier, I mentioned something about increasing your Pool of Energy right? So now, I will teach you a method, a method my teacher (Sir Elentari or Elentari in SoM) thought to me.
(Sir Elentari, I hope its just ok to you if I share this helpful technique to the others, Ill inform you in YM if you go online later haha thanks.)
So here it is:
Step One: Meditate
Step Two: Perform Grounding, Centering, and Clearing
Step Three: After performing Grounding, Disconnect the Energy Link that is connected to the Earth below, then create a new Energy Connection then connect it to the Earth Again, then now Ground ALL of your Energy to the Earth as many as you can until you got drained or get tired, then after it, absorb the energy from the Earth using the Energy Connection you just created absorb as many as you can, and as you absorb, visualize and control these incoming energies and direct ALL of those energies into your Aura, then visualize your Aura getting bigger and bigger, do this for about 30 minutes or 1 hour below, then after it, return ALL of those energy to the Earth again, then absorb it again, for each absorb, you should increase the amounts of energy you are absorbing too, then direct all of it to your aura, then visualize your aura getting bigger and bigger as you do this for 1 hour or below every day.
Step Four: Stop when you get tired or your time limit is already done.
Step Five: Rest, sleep, or go play some computer games if you want or listen to your favorite music or watch some Animes in youtube lol.
So this Technique is some kind of Similar to going to a Gym, lifting weights and enlarging your muscles in the process lol haha XD
And thats it, some of the things I know so far regarding increasing your energy pool (if you want to learn more, ask Sir Elentari to be your mentor, I recommend him to you too cuz he is a good teacher, good person and a friend of mine haha XD though take note that he already has many students so he can only talk to you sometimes when his schedule is free so dont feel bad if he replies late to your questions)
..
About Higher Realms, Higher Energies, the Universe, Higher Selves and Many More:
Ok so now, you can also visit this website, this website is so full of information:
http://www.wingmakers.co.nz/
That website is good, though NOT ALL in it is true or works for you. That website explains things about the Other Chakras, Higherselves, Hara Lines, Multiple Dimensions, The Universe, Constellations, Other Planes of Existence, Astral Projection and many many more, most of them are about the Higher Realms which is very exciting to visit someday using Astral Projection, and also, I recommend for beginners to first click the Contents link that can be found in the Left Side navigation panel of the site, then after it, study the stuffs which can be found under that article youre in after you click the Contents.
Then after reading and practicing the information there, look into the Left Side Navigation Panel of the Site again, then look for Level One then click the link below it (Note: Ignore the other articles that you will find in the Right and Left Side navigation First cuz you dont need them for now, you can read them if you want and if you have some spare time, but for now, just click the link under the Level One), so there, after you click the link under the Level One read the introduction first (its pretty short) then look to the Left Side Navigation Panel of the Page again, there you will see many articles that fall under the Level One section, study all of them, and after it, proceed to the article under the Level Two, and study them all then repeat the process until you reach Level Nine, take note, studying these will really consume your free time and will surely make you busy haha, but its good cuz if you are serious in studying this craft, you will find all of the information on that website very very useful to you, plus the large amounts of knowledge you will obtain is so incredible, it makes a person who is very hungry for knowledge become excited too (like me lol).
Then if you have free time, read all of the other articles on that site, and hopefully, it will increase your knowledge about the other beings in the Universe, the Races of the Soul and so on.
And thats it, the website I know so far which covers almost all about Higher Realms and other Beings and so many many information haha XD

Book of Shadows and Grimoires:
Book of Shadows are a Witch or Mages Journal about his Magick Experiments and Magickal Endeavors, while the Grimoire is also like a BoS but more likely the contents of it are the instructions on how to summon a Demon or an Entity (Like the Grimoire of Armadel, or the Summoning Spirits The Art of Magical Evocation by Konstantinos)
Book of Shadows information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_shadows
How to make a Book of Shadows (after googling a little, I found these websites):
http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/wiccaandpaganismbasics/ht/BOS.html
http://www.ehow.com/how_5055857_make-book-shadows.html
http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Book-of-Shadows
So there, be a critical thinker and Compile all of the information you will gather on those websites and you might end up creating a better or cooler Book of Shadows lol XD
Grimoire Definition:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/grimoire
..
Ancient Alphabets:
These are the Angelic (or Celestial Alphabet), Enochian, and Runic Alphabets, thats all I know for now, they can be used in our Book of Shadows to decipher all of the important info which is written there, and they can also be used as Sigils and various forms of Magick and in Psionics too I think lol.
Here is the information about them:
Enochian:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enochian
Enochian Linguistics: Links and Essays:
http://web.archive.org/web/20071029025417/members.aol.com/AJRoberti/enochmnu.htm
Enochian Miscellary:
http://hermetic.com/enochia/index.html
The Enochian dictionary:
http://www.sacred-texts.com/pag/enoch1.txt
Angelic/Celestial Alphabet:
http://www.steliart.com/angelology_celestial_alphabet.html
That website also deals in the Study of Angels (Angelology), well I like Angels so I also study about them haha, lol, the same way as I like Demons (Demonology) hahaha XD
http://www.wingmakers.co.nz/Celestial_Writing.html
Rune Alphabet:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rune
Just scroll down or read the whole Article, then you will see the Latin alphabet equivalents of each Rune.
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/runic.htm
There are also other ancient alphabets in that site.
http://www.spelwerx.com/runic.html
I bookmarked that site lol, if you look in the Left Side navigation of the Site, you will see so many articles about Magick that can be helpful for you too.
And that's it, all the things i knew so far about Ancient Alphabets.
(NOTE: Please report the broken links and such, and if you saw the .htm in the link, just copy and paste it in your browser, if it didnt work, add a letter L after the htm.
Just report me any broken links and I post the right one, or just fix em yourself if you can figure out haha XD Thanks)

Martial Arts:
So now
Im sure all of you want to practice Martial Arts too right?
Besides everyone in this world should learn Martial Arts and learn to defend themselves, especially these days the Bad Guys around is increasing each day lol.
As a Mage (my Short Term for Magick Practitioner), Psion, or a Psychic, you should not only Strengthen your Mind and Spiritual Strength, you should also Strengthen your Physical Strength, as a form of Self Defense if for some reason you dont have the time to cast your spells or perform energy manipulations to protect yourself from the Bad Guys scattered around the streets in every part of the world, you can just kick their bottom and defend yourself using martial arts lol.
So now, I recommend you to study this:
http://hung-gar-kung-fu.netfirms.com/72-shaolin-arts-trial-fast-view.pdf
That Martial Art is called Shaolin Kung Fu, and Warning: Before Going into this, your Physical Body Must be ready, that means, you have to have a Healthy Life Style, and always, I mean ALWAYS Remember this Motto and do it too: Study Hard, Eat Right, Sleep Tight (that motto is applicable into academics too haha, and BTW, I got that motto from the game Megaman Star Force 3 cuz im also a Video game addict lol).
And in Training Martial Arts, I Recommend you have to AVOID Sleeping Late at All times, I recommend you to have a good night sleep at 10PM or earlier and wake up 6AM or 5AM, just make sure you have to have an 8 hours of Complete Uninterrupted and Deep Sleep.
Lol, this reminds me of my training during our Taekwondo Classes, I slept late, then woke up early, then when we are finally practicing, I slowly become quite dizzy, and as the training goes on, I cant bear the dizziness anymore, and I almost collapse, good thing our instructor noticed it and I also decide to stop and rest for a while, man that was very close, and also that is my first time experiencing it haha, I dont want to experience it again lol.
Anyway, back to the book, I also Warn you to STRICTLY Follow Every Instructions that are mentioned in the book, cuz if you do not follow them correctly and strictly, it will lead to serious problems, and I will not be held liable if the bones in your finger become broken and so on just because you didnt follow the instructions correctly and strictly. Dont tell me I didnt warn you lol XD
Anyway, some of the techniques on that book also has the Application to the Manipulation of the Energy called Chi or Qi, well lucky you cuz you already have an advantage, cuz by now, you should be able to manipulate energy smoothly and are quite adept at it now, and these techniques also include meditation I think, so you got the upper hand hahah XD
Oh and before I Forgot, there is an exercise in that book about the Mans Testes, so now, if you are a person who has a wife or husband or want to have a married life soon in your life time then DONT do that Exercise, cuz that Exercise makes your Testes Hard as a stone so you can abandon the use of Groin Guards after wards, but it is NOT advisable to do if you want to have a married life soon in your life time, you can study Kung Fu even if you want to have a Married life, unless you want to become a Monk.
So ok about Martial Arts, I also recommend you to Study, Taekwondo, Aikido, Kendo or Kenjutsu, Iaido or Iaijutsu, Kyudo, Judo and other Various Japanese Martial Arts that can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_martial_arts
Lol, I just like Japanese Martial Arts cuz im a Semi-Otaku (One with an obsessive interest for something, particularly anime or manga.) haha and most of them are that of the Japanese origin, and of course Japan and Philippines (the country Im living in) is in the same Continent: Asia haha XD And, well IMO Oriental Martial Arts are one of the best ones to learn(no Bias intended lol) haha, but its still your choice on whatever martial arts you want to study XD
I also recommend you to study the Pressure Points, here is the article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_points
Pressure points is essential in martial arts and in some field in medicine, if you want to learn it more deeply, find a PDF file of it in:
http://www.scribd.com/
Oh and if you want, you can also study the Touch of Death or the so called Dim Mak, you can download the PDF of it here:
http://www.google.com.ph/#hl=en&q=Dim+Mak+pdf&meta=&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=21e13752adcfa820
I havent studied this yet cuz Kung Fu and placing a Curse is Lethal enough but if you want to study this, I also advice you to seek an Instructor somewhere in your country or go to China and look for a teacher there lol.
Also, if you want, you can also Study Tai Chi Chuan, here is the article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai_Chi_Chuan
And also, I recommend you to not restrict yourself into one kind of martial art, you should also study martial arts which includes Weapons and Hand to Hand combat, and also, some modern warfare like Guns and such (NOTE: Energy Manipulation like Chi, and Psi can also be applied into these Martial Arts, including the use of Guns and other Fire Arms)
And thats it, everything I know so far about Martial Arts, and also dont forget, as a Mage, you should also study Martial Arts, it will make your Spiritual and Physical strengths to increase more, and make you more versatile, plus the nice bonus is you will have a nice life style (and it is also proven to some sources that the study of Kung Fu or Tai Chi Chuan increases your Longevity).

Angels and Demons (Angelology and Demonology):
Well, yeah this is not beginners stuff but
a decent knowledge about these two awesome beings is still needed by all people even if he/she is a Mage or just an ordinary person.
WARNING: Treat both Angels and Demons respectfully and treat them well, ask for their help, guidance, protection and other favors nicely, or else you will regret it.
So here it is, about Angelology:
http://www.steliart.com/angelology.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelology
There are many articles there, and thats where I studied almost everything I know so far about Angels.
Demonology:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonology
http://www.djmcadam.com/demons.htm
http://demonology.eu/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon
Then, you can also try searching in Scribd.com or google about the Lesser Key of Solomon and the Greater Key of Solomon, like Ive said; google is one of the very awesome search engines around.
(NOTE: Well as for me in my opinion, studying Demonology is a little complicated thats why I placed more websites that Angelology so you can compile all of the information that you will get and gain a better understanding about Complex Creatures such as Demons)
And that's it, everything I knew so far about Angelology and Demonology

The Concept of Balance of Light and Dark, Good and Evil, Law and Chaos, and Free Will:
Ok so now, I feel like very Mage, Psion and Psychic must know about these.
(NOTE: The following words that I will say is my own perspective and opinion, and all of the things I know and understand so far about these concept, and yeah, theres also a chance that I will make a mistake or misunderstanding about these concepts, so its also best if you ask around the site who have considerable knowledge about these and inform me too about my mistake, but yeah, I hope you can find these info helpful too).
So as a beginner (especially that of a Christian Faith who Hates Satan) I like to explain this to remove the misconception of avoiding the Dark Arts and such.
And yeah, this is also to remove the misconception about Angels=All Good and Demons=All Evil/Bad.
So Ill say this now, you should not avoid to learn the Dark Arts i.e. Curses, Hexes etc, because Magick is a TOOL, you can compare Magick or Martial arts into your Hands, your Hands can Kill a person, but at the same time, it can also Heal a person or show your love to a person i.e. Caressing him/her.
Magick has no Color, it is the Intent of the user which gives it meaning, so now regarding the Dark and Light Arts, those two can be used to Harm to Heal, or to Protect a Living or Non-living thing or being or a person.
The Examples are: you can kill a person by healing him by overloading him/her with your energies, if he/she got overloaded some serious problem might occur, then you can also protect a person from a serial killer by using the dark arts to snuff the life out of the serial killer or even curse him to become bed ridden and he can be easily caught up by the police and other various examples like that.
So that is to show Magick, Psionics, and Martial Arts is a Tool.
Now regarding the Concept of Balance, well in my opinion, everything in this universe is covered by the concept of Balance between Light and Dark, Good and Evil, Law and Chaos, all beings, entities, people, living or non-living things, even the gods and goddesses and other higher forces are covered by it, that means we all have Good and Bad sides.
For Example: about the information you got about the Angels, during your days as a Child, your parents thought to you that Angels are good and Demons are bad, well that is a misconception, to tell you the truth, Angels and Demons are neither Good nor Bad, an Angel can also become Angry and do other bad stuffs (hence there are the beings called Fallen Angels), a Demon can also help you get away from a sticky situation or even help you and teach you some stuffs.
Lol, is there such thing such as a Raised Demon? Haha just kidding XD
Anyway, all that is necessary to interact with these beings (Including the gods and goddesses and other Entities like the Elemental Spirits and such) is Respect, and not only that, you should also respect your fellow people and other animals; Respect is the most important remember this.
So now, about using the Dark Arts, Psionics, and Martial arts to kill a person, well there is nothing wrong with that just always remember the Karma that you will get and the Law of Threefold, and of course, you dont have the right to kill a living being without having a valid purpose, or if the person really deserves to die, then do as you see fit, cuz that is Justice in my opinion. You can put a curse to someone as long as he/she deserves it; youre grown up now, so I guess you already know what Right is and what is wrong.
So if you harm someone with a valid reason or he/she deserves it, then when you finally receive your karma you will not feel any regret, well thats just my opinion, and well yeah, you can burn your Karma anyways (just ask around the site regarding Burning Karma, cuz I only know very little things about this topic).
So now, about the Concept of Free Will, well you can do anything as you please, like in the Wiccan Rede: An it harm none, do what thou wilt, though remember that having a free will is not always free, I mean, you are still bounded by the rules of the territory or the country youre in, and also dont forget that There is Always a Time and Place for Everything so do the things you want as long as it is in the Right place and in the Right Time, anyway, about me, well Im a Free Spirited Person, Im not bounded by Any Religions now (though Im still a Catholic but I now considered myself as a Person who have no Religion), but yeah, I also value the concept of Free Will but always remember; Everything Excessive is Bad so Ill just do it moderately and yeah, same as me, you have to do things moderately too so you can avoid overdoing it which can sometimes produce Bad Results.
Oh and before I forgot: Always remember that In Every Action, there is Always a Positive and Negative Result so if you heal a person, it also has some negative result, if you kill a person, it also has some positive result, and vice versa and that is Balance.
Ok this is enough haha, I also ran out of words to type haha, and I think this is sufficient for newbies in the craft already, ok so there, I wish you the best of luck in this craft, feel free to reply or talk to me if you have any questions, just dont ask obvious questions, I hate it lol.
Also feel free to post here if you notice Spelling and Grammar Errors, Violent Reactions, comments or saying thanks or just posting some stuffs, just post things as you see fit lol, anyway, thanks for reading and bye~ XD
Lol took me two hours to work on this O_O but I enjoyed working it so I didnt notice the time hahaha XD.

Oh a Follow up when it comes to the Elements.
Ok so, each of us have our own Elements, i.e. Carlo is Fire while Marielle is Water, and so on and so forth.
Other People can also have two or more Elements.
And about me I have the 5 Elements, during my newbie days, I'm quite confused as to what my Element is, cuz I feel close connection to all five, so i train them one by one, the first one i trained is the Element of the Wind, so I can somehow control the weather around here, though not that efficient for now, i still need more training lol.
Oh and BTW, if you want to know about your Element, just go to the Element Magick Coven and join it.
Best of luck in the Craft guys, I wish you all the best.
Don't forget to set a daily training routine too, and have a neat schedule hahaha XD

Ahaha sorry for that, anyway, you can also call this article as a storage of the websites that i've come across during my trainings since last year haha.
Anyway, you can just go into each section one at a time, you dont need to rush your learning, oh and, yeah please tell me if you come across broken links, stupid grammatical and typographical errors that i made haha XD (I hate my keyboard -_-)
Anyway yeah, that's entirely how it is, but at least i tried my best to keep it as detailed as I can, rather than having a one paragraph on each sections lol XD
