In 'Philosophy 101,' the author lays out the beliefs that undergird her style of magic and posits, for example, that science and magic are two similar systems for describing the same phenomena and that energy flows toward the object of one's attention. Toll structures the volume as a curriculum split into two 'semesters,' with such classes as 'Divination Lab,' 'Alchemy 101,' and 'Energetic Engineering 101' covering the basics of night-related magic and how to interact with it. To see it and the effects it has on your life, change the way you perceive the world,' contends spiritual teacher Toll (Maia Toll's Wild Wisdom Companion) in this fun exploration of magic.
