Educational Scope
Instruction provided by the Institute is offered for educational and training purposes only. Courses and materials are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure medical or psychological conditions and do not replace professional medical, psychological, legal, or financial services. Students are responsible for seeking appropriate professional support when needed.
The Institute does not position magical practice as therapy, counseling, or psychological treatment. While personal insight and transformation may occur through disciplined practice, such outcomes are considered individual experiences rather than promised results.
Personal Responsibility
Students engaging in operative and alchemical training accept full responsibility for their own practice, decisions, and interpretations. Participation in training requires honesty regarding personal readiness, mental stability, and capacity for sustained focus and integration.
Students are expected to maintain grounding practices and to engage with instruction in a manner that supports balance in daily life. The Institute reserves the right to pause, redirect, or decline instruction when it is determined that continued training is not appropriate at a given time.

Ethical conduct is central to all instruction at the Institute. Students are expected to respect the integrity of the material, the boundaries of instruction, and the confidentiality of shared experiences within training contexts.
The misuse of techniques, misrepresentation of training, or application of material in ways that cause harm to oneself or others is contrary to the principles of the Institute. Instruction is offered with the expectation that it will be applied thoughtfully, responsibly, and within appropriate personal and social boundaries.
Readiness and Consent
Enrollment in Institute training is application based to ensure informed consent and appropriate readiness. By applying for and participating in instruction, students acknowledge that operative magical training requires sustained effort, self discipline, and personal accountability.
Students understand that progression is based on readiness and demonstrated understanding rather than entitlement or completion of content alone.
