Nita,
I dont suppose there will be any video or audio recordings available for this event? I sure wouldn't mind hearing what you folks have to say....

Hello Rob
I know there will be online videos for the members on the website. It is to make it accessible for the people who can not attend. I do not know about anyone else.
It is not a Mason organization but uses the books of Franz Bardon to teach others. I have studeied many systems and this is the most organized and well thought out system for learning ritual or ceremonial magic. The exercises in the book Initiation into Hermetics help people to develop their abilities.
The conference is being held for a very reasonable price in a convent that has been rebuilt into the hotel. It is older than the country of Portugal. I am really looking forward to this. I saw that Tisha had posted a magical group and I thought this would be an opportunity for everyone.

Hello Everyone
I want to remind you that this is a rare opportunity. Robert Bruce will also be speaking at the meeting. It is a very reasonable price in a beautiful country.

Ah, a trip to Portugal, wow, and me with a passport that hasn't been used since my trip to England four years ago! I'm overdue for an out-of-states trip. Unfortunately, this corporate-closet witch has a brand new job, and not enough vacation time. Please report back on how it went!
Hello Tisha
I will report back. I just hope that some of the people curious about magic take an opportunity to check it out. I have found that sooner or later a student needs to join a school or organization to balance their knowledge out. It also helps with cammaraderie and new ideas.
I was really happy to see the school listings and also group listings. Magic is manipulating the forces and energies. Most Magicians are mystics. It makes it so all the rest of the methods make sense to you when you study properly.
The Kybalion is a really good book for this also. Every magical system uses these principles. They even rephrase them in a lot of ways where you can see the divergence of ideas that work around the world.

OK, and WHAT IS THE PRACTICE about?
just talking?
and about

Hello Everyone
I would also like to suggest a magical group. The Fraternitas Hermetica is holding an International Meeting that is open to non-members. It will be held in Portugal. The link is here http://www.fraternitashermetica.org/public/main.php?ref=meeting
I found really reasonable fares to Portugal on Orbitz.com. I am one of the speakers there so if you are interested check the website out. It would be great for people wanting to learn a organized system of magic as the organization is sharing its knowledge with others.
