I’ve always been deeply involved in philosophy, which eventually led me to Eastern ideas like the concept of śūnyatā in Buddhism—the notion that nothing exists inherently by itself and that everything depends on context. As Heraclitus said, “Everything flows, everything changes” (panta rhei). Through these realizations, I became interested in alchemy, which, as far as I understand, is based on the idea that since nothing has a fixed nature, anything can be transformed into something else, depending on the abilities of the alchemist.
As I continued to piece together occult logic, I came to understand that rituals are designed to create the right atmosphere and mental state to help the magician more easily focus their intent toward their goal. From this perspective, magic appears to be an extraordinarily advanced form of psychology, practiced since ancient times, far surpassing modern psychology in its depth and application.
My questions are as follows: Since I haven’t found a book that logically and sequentially explains the framework of magic as I’d like, I’d like to ask more experienced practitioners—does magic boil down to synchronizing various metrics, such as astrology, colors, scents, movements, choreography, in order to align oneself with the "frequency" of the desired outcome? In my view, it’s as though probabilities have an "IP address," and the magician is writing a program to access that "address" to manifest the probability.
If magic isn’t just about this synchronization, what else does it offer? I understand this is a broad question, but I think it’s useful to start with a solid foundation upon which further exploration can be built.
After extensive searching in forums, one of the few responses that stood out to me was this:
"It uses a higher-dimensional topology to transform the harmonics of probability waves. The frequency of probabilities relates to the oscillation and spectrum of matter, i.e., heat. It uses a higher dimension to transform probabilities, which correspond to the position and speed of physical entities. Whenever there's a computational and irreversible process, a non-zero amount of work is converted to heat, so there's a relationship between order, disorder, and heat. Since shifting probabilities shifts frequencies that relate to heat absorption or emission, magic uses thermodynamic energy and statistical mechanics to do work. Manipulating probabilities encompasses coordinating where things are, are going, and will be, so you're manipulating vectors of position and momentum."
I admit I suffer from the flaw of seeking countless books and shortcuts instead of simply practicing and learning from experience. However, given the diversity of the subject—invocations, evocations, Enochian magic, and so on—I’ve decided that before practicing, I need to identify common patterns among the major branches of magic. So far, what I’ve found includes basic exercises like meditation and visualization (involving various senses), the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP), and the Middle Pillar Ritual. From what I can tell so far, this seems to form the foundation.
I’d be infinitely grateful for any answers, insights, or book suggestions that explore the occult and magic through a similarly logical lens.
