Chris Lyon Wants to Share His Magick with You

Occultist & founder of the esoteric learning platform Mystai reflects on his magical origins & historical inspirations

Chris Lyon is an Occultist who came to magic at an early age through a haunted house and a long family lineage. HIs magical upbringing was a little bit folk and a little bit formal — and pretty serious. He met his mentor at age 11, who saved him from a breakdown and showed him how to cultivate his talents. When he moved away to London for college he immersed himself in the works of the Golden Dawn and studied Archaeology, focusing on funerary and temple architecture in the Near East. 

These days, between seeing clients and preparing for graduate studies, he runs Mystai, an online magick school that offers a “complete occult education.”

I caught up with Chris to TALKTALKTALK the history of magick, best practices, and a whole lot more!
