I think that anyone interested in magic beyond an intellectual curiosity should have a look at this lecture. It's kind of long but worth the read.
A Magical EducationHow do you feel about the author's treatment of the two pitfalls of fantasy and authenticity? How do you feel about the idea of putting magic and science back together? What are your thoughts on the author's suggested areas of study in order to attain a magical education?
If you don't want to read the lecture or just don't want to comment on it:
What do you think the important things are to learn in order to have a magical education? How do you feel about innovation in the field of magical practice as compared to strict adherence to established ways? What are the core requirements for magic? Is magical practice still evolving? What is the ultimate goal of magical practice?
This should be more than enough to chew on.
