Going on guts and what you can find in books is good,
but it only gets you so far.
same goes with the community.
HOWEVER
finding a magic teacher is not simple at all.
so, being a magician, i decided i would use magic to get better at magic. (IMG:

I was thinking i could either cast a spell to find me a good magic teacher
or just evoke a magical entity such as Odin or Hermes and hope that they will teach me.
idk
what do you guys think?

Worked for me. I'm not saying I am "all that". but, I did the same thing. Even the covens and a few camps and even a pylon could only take me so far. At least this is what I was told. I could've paid money for higher initiation. But, I felt that was not what I wanted. Not that majickal orders and covens aren't a good place to learn; they are. But, I went exactly the route you are talking about. I went with the Hermes/Mercury form. And for the record, what I discovered I do not share much. But, I am debating sharing it. I will say, however, that I found that my majick ( in particular the ceremonial style) Is much more effective when I can do it in a lucid dream. And to achieve this I had to perform the ritual several times in the waking state to ingrain/memorize it enough to duplicate in my sleep.
