From day one off once initiation to the Craft, the practitioner sets some goals which then tries to fulfil on a daily basis. These goals are taught as "laws" and they are the core of the initiate's virtues and works, their personal opus! These are the following:
Know Thyself
It was very important for the initiate to have in detailed knowledge of themselves, their abilities, flaws, and to accept all that in order to better themselves, not just a single person in society, but also as a practitioner of the Craft.
Wisdom
Knowledge is a very powerful tool, and is the foundation of wisdom. They need shed goes after knowledge, thus, there are always going after wisdom, not just on subjects of the occult, but denies many subjects as possible. Wisdom is not something that will be granted by one-sided knowledge, it needs spherical knowledge that comes multiple paths and a variety of subjects.
Knowledge of the Craft
Semi-learning is a dangerous thing, and can become even more dangerous when it comes to magic. They initiate, should never rely on their existing knowledge there is always something they don't know about. Here, is where the golden rule of Socrates applies "all I know is that I know nothing". The initiate always tries to expand their horizons in order to never feel that they know everything around the subject, thus, they never stop learning. Then they come to realise that the answer to a question, gives birth to even more questions.
Applying Knowledge with Wisdom
Knowledge that has been applied wrongly can become very dangerous. They need shed always strives to achieve the wise application of what they know, there are always asking themselves what he's the best course of action before they make any decisions.
Ballance and Justice
The initiate ought to be balanced and to strive for the establishing of balance around them. They know the duality of all things just as they know that nothing can exist without their counterpart. This is why they're trying to be non-soft but not hard either with themselves or those around them, but balanced, and just.
Thoughts, Writings, and Speech.
The initiate takes care so that there are thoughts, writing, and speech are in order and composed in a correct manner. Uncoordinated thoughts reveal the person does not know what they want, what they believe in, what to do in order to control themselves. The wise person writes and speaks in such a way that the brilliance of the spirit is shown and it reflects their inner peace and balance.
Life is a Celebration
Life is neither a curse or a punishment, but a sacred gift. Then you should know is that life can teach them with valuable experiences, which even if our hard sometimes, they don't seize to be divine wisdom. They are not sad because of their material, incomplete existence, but they celebrate and they are happy about it, I was lead trying to learn as much as possible and experience the most out of it.
In Harmony with Nature
Nature is a part of us and we are part of nature. The initiative strives to achieve harmony with nature, knowing that they ought to protected and to let it protect them, but also protect themselves from it. In addition, there are trying so that their existence and actions do not clash with the laws of nature, and then accept that some of the needs are part of their nature, even if they're clashing with human laws, either society based or ethical ones. They try to satisfy these needs, in such a way that they do not go against the laws of man or nature. It's hard task, but not an impossible one.
Health
Wisdom, is not only about strengthening our spirits, but it is also about respecting our bodies. The initiate never works on one by neglecting the other, as they need each other, but they try to equally take care of their mind and body. They meditate frequently, it correctly, exercise, avoid the use of substances poison the mind or the body, and respect their nature.
