Aura Vista

The World Council of Magick

What it is

A shared seat at one table.

The esoteric world is made of many traditions, each with its own teachers, lineages, and associations. The Council gives them a shared seat at one table: thirteen representatives, one for each of thirteen categories of the field.

What the Council becomes is something we’re shaping in the open, with you. The 2027 meetings below are where that happens.

The fund

A share of everything we earn, back into the field.

Each year, a share of Aura Vista’s profits goes into a fund for the field. Registered, verified practitioners can apply for scholarships and grants to build what they’re ready to build: a retreat center, a book, a book tour, whatever it is. The aim is to lift the whole field and bring more people into it.

The road ahead

2027

Every meeting is open. Nothing is decided until it has been discussed in the room.

  1. Q1 2027

    Define the Council

    Our first meeting is an open conversation about what the Council is for, its mission and its vision. We'll bring one big question: does one representative from each of the thirteen categories feel like a workable way to share voting power? We'll also talk about re-election, meaning how long a seat lasts and how it renews.

  2. Q2 2027

    Nominations

    We formalize how people get on the ballot. Institutions can put forward a representative, and so can individuals with strong community support, for each of the proposed thirteen seats.

  3. Q3 2027

    The vote, and the first World Convention

    Voting stays open for one week and closes at the start of the session. The Council members are announced, and their service for 2028 begins. This meeting also takes part during the first annual Aura Vista World Convention.

  4. Q4 2027

    The fund launches

    The fund and application process launches.

  5. Q1 2028

    The first cohort

    The first recipients of grants and scholarships are awarded.
