Getting Started: The Seven Laws Of Magic

Getting Started: The Seven Laws of Magic

Magic is an inherently mysterious thing but there is a strange logic to its nature. Describing said nature is a difficult thing. How does one describe something that can never truly be known?

The answer for most of history? poorly. Practitioners of the arcane arts are not known for straightforward explanations. I will do my best to explain the basic mechanics:

The Law of Contagion: Once together, always together. The part of the thing is the whole of the thing. By performing magic on a strand of your hair, one can effect your entire body. The more intimate the connection, the more powerful the effect. A cigarette butt you smoked will have almost no effect, but a phial of your blood will be extremely effective. Magic using this law is known as Thaumaturgy.

The Law of Sympathy: Like attracts like. The image is the thing. A drawing or representation of something can gain its properties. A photo or drawing of you will have a similar thaumaturgical connection to you. Combining sympathy and contagion is the basis for poppet magic.

The Law of Correspondence: As Above, So Below. The gods are like us and we are like them. When viewed closely, atoms resemble solar systems. The big effects the small. The idea that there is a sort of harmony between similar patterns no matter their size. This is the basis behind astrological magic.

The Law of Resistance: Some things are more magically conductive than other things. Everything exists on a spectrum of “magical“ to “mundane“ and the less magic something is, the harder it is to effect with magic. The same extends to people who, for whatever the reason, simply have a harder time being interacting with magic. 

The Law of Balance: Magic seeks equilibrium, and therefore, every magical action has a cost. No magical act takes place without some sort of power behind it. Energy will not move unless something is moving it, be it a practitioner or the natural energy of the moon. A body in motion will stay in motion, a body at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

The Law of Reciprocity: If you don’t know where its pointed, its pointed at you. If it doesn’t have enough energy, it will get get energy from you. The process of getting hit with your own improperly constructed spell is known as Recoil. Safe practice often involves setting up wards to act as a barrier between you and any mistakes.

The Law of Reversal: That which is done by magic can be undone by magic. For every spell there is a counterspell, for every ritual a counterritual. Every ward can be hexed, every curse can be dispelled. This does not mean countermeasure will be easy or efficient.

Hi daisy, does inducing a specific brainwave help in manifesting faster?

Yes! It's not necessary but some of those "brainwaves" help you to get in a state where your logical side of the brain shuts down and your subconscious takes over - which helps you be really in tune with what you're affirming and visualizing and it also helps you to detach from the 3D. I hope my explanation makes sense.

The posts I linked in this post make it pretty clear I think. Idk if they were hard to understand but I can try to summarize it for you.

As you can see here in the graphic below there are 6 types of brainwaves. Those are the waves your brain naturally sends out when you're in the respective state (described in the pic).

Hi Daisy, Does Inducing A Specific Brainwave Help In Manifesting Faster?

If you listen to those types of waves (through binaural beats in yt) you kinda manipulate your brain into getting into a certain state.

For now, you can ignore the beta and gamma waves. For manifesting and shifting, usually only alpha waves, theta waves, delta waves and epsilon waves are talked about as they help with relaxation/detachment/reduced consciousness.

From what was said in the other two posts:

Theta and alpha waves seem the best for manifesting.

Delta waves the best for entering the void state.

Epsilon waves the best for shifting realities.

But of course everyone is different and they may work differently on you.

The anon in this post also described their method or rather how they use those waves for manifesting/entering the void and for shifting:

Sitting down comfortable.

Lighting up a candle in front of you.

Putting on the specific waves you want to listen to.

Breathing deeply in and out and calming down.

Focusing on the flame.

Starting affirming when you reached a trance like state.

I hope that helped you understand it more!

Since there is a lot of talk about twin flames, and most of it is highly opinionated and mostly false, I am making a comprehensive list of links to articles and videos explaining what soul connections actually are and how to determine which one you have.

Since There Is A Lot Of Talk About Twin Flames, And Most Of It Is Highly Opinionated And Mostly False,

There is no excuse for ignorance. Please educate yourself.

Youtube videos: https://youtu.be/NzmUkvuNqqU https://youtu.be/45s_qLsWpJE https://youtu.be/YMpwVRtwm5Q https://youtu.be/AtRvseK6qXw https://youtu.be/SuytPrtS4HE https://youtu.be/5Kz8ESOYCME

You do not need to, nor should you ever manifest someone even if they are your twin flame. If they are meant to be yours they will be, if not, then not. It creates a toxic relationship. It takes away their free will. By the laws of the universe it is unethical, and will create negative karma.

The Day You Were Born

*Note. This is a very minor factor in the human psyche, and not technically a component of the natal chart. Each day of the week has an energy which it imparts to individuals born on it, but it is vague and often a subtle undertone or theme rather than a prominent, overt, direct influence. This is closely related to the “mundane” matters of the 6th house, the everyday aspect of our lives, and how you approach or behave in that area. The planet ruling your day of birth may be interpreted to have increased energy or importance in your natal chart.

SUNDAY || Sun

People born on Sunday tend to have well-defined identities, or at least a strong sense of self, and they deeply value their individuality. They can be very creative individuals, full of vitality and unique personal power, and they’re often well-liked for their radiance.

They enjoy exhilaration and feed off adrenaline, so they could be reckless thrill-seekers if they’re able.

WEDNESDAY || Mercury

People born on Wednesday tend to be thoughtful and inventive. Their minds are central to their identity; the cultivation, communication, and manifestation of ideas is often what their everyday lives revolve around. Exchanges are crucial to their well-being, as conversation is their main avenue of self-expression. They tend to be busy-bodies, focused on a perpetually-flowing daily process.

THURSDAY || Jupiter

People born on Thursday tend to have “big” personalities; they’re often open, expressive, & engaging. Being a part of the world around them is vital to their happiness, & that is what their everyday lives revolve around. The pleasures of life are their hobbies. Their minds & hearts are expansive, giving them grand ideas & grand connectivity. The deeper meaning of things is important to them.

FRIDAY || Venus

People born on Friday tend to be charming & generally likeable. They’re polite, graceful, and easygoing, with rather “breezy” and warm personalities which attract others to them. They have a good sense of style & know how to present themselves in appealing ways. Beauty, indulgence, pleasure, & self-esteem are what their everyday lives revolve around. Their values are important to them.

Hello! How are you?

how do I begin working with deities and do you recommend it? Also do you know where I can learn more about it?

There are a lot of different deities so your first step should be to figure out who you want to work with. Recognizing that some cultures are barred from anyone outside of that culture is also pretty important!

If you're talking about the Greek deities specifically, this post is a great start! From there, this site is pretty commonly used! And of course wikipedia is a great place if you can't find anything else :)

When it comes to "do i recommend it"... it really depends on you. It's not for everyone, sometimes that's personal preference and sometimes people just aren't comfortable with it. If you're genuinely interested in it then I'd say go for it! Do what you can to learn about which deity/deities you want to work with, how to work with them, and how to incorporate them into your life. Look for signs of communication from them, learn how to communicate with them, always be respectful, and you know... just go from there!
