RE: It's All In Your Head--A Scientific Approach To Magickal Theory
Great blog! Very interesting and enjoyably written @jphenderson.
I like the idea, that everything is an illusion. Magick might well be all in the head, but if so, it's there with the rest of the world. It's a philosophical position that provides interesting framework for magick.
Ericksonian hypnosis can be an extremely useful tool in learning about the subconscious and how to communicate with it. I find it very effective and it works without need for employing 'supernatural' theory. I would highly recommend it to practitioners coming to the field of magick from materialism.
From practical perspective it doesn't matter how magick works. It's enough to know how to use it. That said, trying to find a way to understand magickal process is really fascinating and well worth the time.
I'm looking forward to reading your next blog!
Great point... It doesn't really matter why and how it works... it just matters that it does. You could get into debates for hours or days on how and why and get no where but in the end it is only the practical application that is useful.
