Original Magic: The Rituals and Initiations of the Persian Magi - Stephen E. Flowers Ph.D. 2017

Conclusion of The First Phase of Initiation
Initiation into Magic

At the end of the twelve-month process of magical training, you will be prepared for your ceremonial initiation. If you know a magician of the Mazmaga, an initiate willing to initiate you, you should arrange for this as soon as possible. If, however, you find yourself isolated from others, you can undertake the rite of self-initiation as outlined in chapter 5. In reality, by the time you have reached the twelfth month of your training you should have made contact with at least one other magician of the Great Fellowship to support you spiritually, and certainly the yazatas will surround you at the time of your self-dedication.

After this rite has been performed, you will be empowered to undertake all the workings of original magic, to research the methods of Mazdan magic generally, and employ these freely and with an ethic guided by the principles of humata—hukhta—khvarshta. At any time during the process of initiation, the magician is invited to join the company of Occidental Mazdans—which can only strengthen your magical work.
