'High' and 'Low' magic do not exist in reality, except as one complete whole. It is the student, who defines what is 'High' (or hard), or 'Low' (or relatively easy)! To utilise them you need a focus, imagination, and an awareness for what is aetherial, and not of this world (ie. on/in another dimension), and be able to discerne how to contact these powers, by the use of words that vibrate that power's essential essence, for instance, its own name for itself, that it recognises is it/him/her. -- Hugo Shepherd.
