I have a few questions that I've always wondered about this model of magic. Curious to see how people answer them.
If anyone else also has questions feel free to ask them as well for others to answer.
- How do gods, divine/demonic agents, elementals, spirits of place and other spiritual beings fit into your worldview?
- If you use/create them, how do you view artificial beings such as servitors and egregores?
- What is your take on the "Astral Plane" and immaterial planes of existence in general?
- What is the mechanism enables divination and oracles to work in your view?
- Do you generally care about the specific cosmology and origin of the universe?
- Where do you draw the line, if there is one, when trying to explain or translate spiritual concepts to aspects of the mind?
- Do certain systems and rituals that are considered "dangerous" or taxing in some way (Goetia, Abramelin, dealing with so-called "underworld" or "dark" entities) lose some of the edge and fear factor when you engage with them? If not, why?
- Do you believe in psionics or any of the classic psychic powers like telepathy or telekinesis? Do you believe magic to be, in some way, the realization of or explanation for these powers?
- Do you believe that consciousness is a core part of the universe or in some framework that takes this for granted such as panpsychism?
- How do you conceptualize "the self"? Do you think it actually exists in some way or is it illusory?
