What are Ariel Gatoga's unique teachings on the Hermetic principles and their modern applications?

Ariel’s work with the Hermetic Principles is less about abstract philosophy and more about practical training of the mind for everyday life and magic.

From the lectures you’ll notice a few consistent emphases:

• The Principles are mental tools, not dogma
  Ariel treats each principle (Mentalism, Polarity, Gender, etc.) as something to use in spellcraft, meditation, and problem‑solving, rather than a belief system to adopt. They become levers for transforming thought and behavior.

• Polarity as a method of inner alchemy
  In How to Use the Law of Polarity, Ariel focuses on sliding along a spectrum rather than “fighting” a state. If you are fearful, you gently repolarize toward courage with thoughts, images, and actions that are slightly closer to your desired pole, instead of trying to jump from one extreme to another.

• Gender as creative dynamics within the mind
  In How to Utilize the Principle of Gender, Ariel treats masculine and feminine as modes of consciousness (projective/receptive, initiating/nurturing) that everyone has. Magic and manifestation are strengthened by consciously balancing these modes in thought, ritual design, and daily decision‑making.

• Constant tie‑in to witchcraft and manifestation
  Ariel weaves Hermeticism directly into:

  • spell construction
  • visualization and mental discipline
  • emotional transformation (anxiety, resentment, discouragement)
    The aim is always: “How do I change my inner state so that my magic and my life change?”

If you like, Ariel can walk you principle‑by‑principle and show how each one might look in a modern daily practice.
