#19: The Magician's Table: Tools for Your Magic

<p>In the episode I introduce a framing device that I’ve been noodling on for nearly a year to help me conceptualize the relationship I have to my magic: how I show up to my life and invite in what I want or something even better.</p> <p>To learn more about The Magician’s Table at my website, and register for the upcoming webinar, click <a href="https://brittenlarue.com/the-magicians-table">here</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>The inspiration for this naming is (no shocker!)

Thus, personal practices of attunement to tools are essential to your professional growth. And likewise, the expansion of external practices
