Magic explained.

[Charlatan]

I believe in magic. I believe when we have science enough in the future we can replicate any spell with science. I would like to first discuss crystal balls.

The common understanding of crystal balls is that people see things in them. I recently found out that they in fact are used in healing, as they are crystals that remove heat from the body by trapping it inside them. Being an earth element, the absord the hot air, and earth it so they must be good conductors.

With that in mind, what about water? Maybe bathing a lot will help you with the common cold? If you were to observe that bodies get hot when they are sick, this makes sense, yes?

Now, that is pretty advanced for us, yet far back. This has been done before, and I suppose we may have stumbled upon it eventually.

If we were to observe something like a love spell though, I know that you need a candle and an item of the person's. You are supposed to sing to the person with the candle lit and the flame will conduct the energy over to the other person through atoms as if it were exciting them along the way, like esp. This 'vibration' will cause them to think of you, and maybe if the song is good enough - rhymes enough - they will fall in love with you? This is because the rhymes will make a 'laugh' in the nervous system, and then they will like the feeling, as everyone likes to laugh. Think of how much you laugh at a clever song? Song is supposed to be the most powerful form of known witchraft, so bear with me please.

If you were to sing to someone face to face, I suppose thier sub conscious would pick it up and become mesmerised with the person. Think of how people sing the songs they like when they are down? This is a reaction to feeling down of course. The fire though, how will we replicate that? Well, it was common in the days of witch craft to burn a candle between the two people when courting over dinner - another misunderstood lost art that is carried over by man kind?

So, you got your flame. Flames make people see, bombarding the senses, and it is beautiful, so, this is another assault on the nervous system! Good. It all makes sense. Using the candle from far away may carry the visuals over with esp? Possibly.

Now, the secrets of love spells are revealed! If you were to observe singing in church, maybe god told the people to do that when he spoke to them long ago as a way for them to make him love them? Possible? Sensible!

So, modern scientific witch craft calls for a light source and a song. This should work on women, but for the women they might have to show some leg! Oh well. But at least there is the possibility of it working, why not give it a go? But I still cannot place my finger on why you need a candle!

So, the candle... If there was to be a candle it gives off warmth too. When people feel in love they feel warm in thier hearts. If there was a way to carry the song over to the person then the fire must warm thier hearts when they think of them, yes? Maybe you chould do this with a bon fire?! Think of ancients praying for rain - they made a pretty big fire indeed! Maybe this was to persuade the gods that they were lovable enough to let it rain? You never know!

So, the fire needs to warm thier hearts. This can also be done with exercise, so, if you were to sing to your loved one while they were exercising, well, that might be a big ask.

Then again, warming someone's heart, well, in a summer month it might be easier - like spring. all the animals come out to mate in spring - when it is warm. How often don't people snuggle under sheets and feel in love? So, you want it to be hot or really warm.

Another thing about love spells is the item of theirs. If you love someone, you hold them near, hence the item.

So love spells are not that hard to understand or replicate.

I find that throwing bones is a complicated affair. If you think about it, and all things are determined, then throwing bones would make the thrower feel something or think of something about the 'question' and then get an impressio for the message back to the 'customer.' Is there credibility to it?

If you were to think about it, the witch doctors believe it, and stay in business. What about horrorscopes? They have a loyal following, and it had to start somewhere. I believe in horrorscopes, but that the new arts have lost a lot along the way from studying the planets. The lie of the planets, especially ours, reflects the enrgies in our world and how we feel, how others feel, and what is felt between us, so, socially, there should be something to it.

Now, if we were to observe the throwing of bones, how does the witch doctor read them? Is this something special about them - the doctors - Or can anybody do it? I believe if they can we can!

Now i don't know a lot about witchdoctors, but we have information relating to the bones of the chicken. Let's say the bones fall far apart - let's say that has something to do with it? This would mean the person that is enquiring with the witch has made an impression on the universe and the bones have fallen a certain way. that is the mythical hub hub about it, but we want to know how, not why!

So, the bones have fallen far apart. If we were to observe this, we would find that the impression left on the witch by the querant has altered thier mind and they have thrown them according to how they feel about the person. This comes down to how the planets have made the querant and the witch feel, so there is something here linking them, if only mumbo jumbo. There already is a link between divinations.

If the bones fall far apart, once more, the witch likely threw them hard. This is because of a desire to see what is asked with authority, demanding with great force that they tell them something. This could be a more accurate description of how they need to fall, so, if they fall far apart, then the energies surrounding the query are aggressive - the planets are making things work quicker.

Before we can go any further with the bones, we now need to observe the lie of the planets. The moon affects our tides, so, if they were to affect things on earth, maybe all solar bodies do the same? If there was a relationship, what would it be based on? How can planets so far away affect us here on earth?

I suppose the best way to answer this is with the help of an astrologer, but i don't have one! The lie of the planets affects the pull and push of our solar system, so if a moon, our moon, can affect things here with regaurds to tides, and we observe one world consciousness, then maybe there is more to it? If the planets were to represent other things, as they are big and the moon is small, maybe they pull atoms away from earth or something, affecting the 'tides' of our 'energies?' But now for one world consciousness...

One world consciousnes is based on energies. If you believe in esp then you will believe that innate objects can block energies or open them up on earth where we live. The energy from the sun is shared with all planets in our solar system, so, if there is a connection between the gamma rays of our solar system and the reflections on planets, as when we see we do not see the object but rather the reflecting light off of it through our eyes, then we would observe that the planets also reflect things off of them. We cannot see the planets because they are too far away, but we can see stars, and stars are accepted into the horrorscope too. Of course if the sun was on the other side of the solar system, we would see totally different stars at night because we would be looking the other way at night! Just a thought...

So, the planets affect energies here on earth, but, how does that correlate to your birthday? If you were born when the solar system was set a certain way, maybe it was the lie of the planets in relation to earth and the sun at the time. How does this affect you though, you are older now, and things have changed? Well, if you were to observe the feeling of your birth, it was very traumatic. If the ie of the planets were to repeat at a certain time, the energies we feel but are not conscious of might lead to extreme discomfort or comfort in the time we are in now. If there was a relationship, maybe it is when certain planets were in line with earth at the time. This all seems very complicated for a ancient astrologer to work out, but they all agree, yes?

So you have your energies feeling a certain way at a certain time. Maybe they are more sensitive at other times, maybe that affects the way they throw the bones. When they throw them, do they read them like a book or dice? No, I think they feel a certain way. Opening yourself up to feeling makes you more sensitive, and then you feel what the energies of the bones direct at you, like the moon and tides, like the planets and horrorscopes.

So, does it work? If it works how will it work for you? The only way to find these answers is to test and re test the things we know about them and apply science of what we know to them.

I have been told by a witch "to cast a luck spell you need to carve the nordic luck rune onto a green candle and burn it, then sing 777 with as much force as you can, and to do this in the direction of the mother godess freya, facing north."

Another witch told me "to make a luck powder, you need to combine together 2 parts vertivert, 2 parts all spice, 1 part nutmeg and 1 part calamus and this will bring positive charges to your life."

So, that is the eaiser way to make a luck spell, or two of them, but i find the one to investigate to be the second, as it relates to my previous observations in the love spell.

So, what does rubbing herbs together mean? This will have an atomic reaction, not like nuclear, but on an atomic level. Maybe it makes you smell nice for those around you? Maybe good luck comes from wearing deodorant?! Of course using these herbs exactly in your deodorant will attract the most luck as you deal with people, they will feel more secure with you, more attracted to you, or even trust you more. .

[Charlatan]

I am reading an acceptance spell. The witch says that the spell requires a 'mojo bag', a few mustard seeds, a piece of paper, a pen, a small crystal and two sticks of incense.

Now, observing the bag full of mustard seeds, that must mean that it must be hot in the bag. This philosophically might mean your aggression towards society, which is why you don't accept things, needs to be bottled up. The incense gives off a smell that pleasures you. The crystal is there to draw the eat out of your body - more stress and aggression. The pen and paper is used to write things you are determined to accept on and then light the second incense stick. Then you sing!

So, to get someone to accept things, they need to cool off - jump in the pool or sea - get all the heat out of them with the mustard seeds being there to be cooped up - leave the engine of your car running - and the incense to make you think pleasant things as you feel the ecstacy. If you think about it, writing the things on paper you want to accept is just self realization.

Now we can see how drawing the aggression and stress out of you could be achieved by having a day at the beach and getting someone else to rub you with sun tan lotion. This massage is likely to relieve stress, and the less stress you have, the better you feel about life.

But, if i were to suggest a healthier acceptance spell, maybe a jog around the block will do? Those emo junkies won't know what hit them! Bloody narcisists!

Tarrot is another form of magic that was too advenced for primitive man to 'make up', so it must be a gift from somewhere else. Be it aliens or angels, it is here. The way tarrot works is to place them cards in a specific order for the past, present or future. Let's just do it normally for the present, I cannot remember what the future spread is like. The way to do this is to randomly shuffle the cards. If determinism is right, and this only works if determinism is right, the cards shuffled by the person, thinking of the querant, will determine whether the future is rosy or not. It also goes into great detail about what the future holds. This can be simulated with machines too! Take a look at this site...

FREE Tarot Readings

On this site you may have your tarrot read for free and quite accurately. It works on randomisers and things, but, if you look into it carefully and from your unique perspective, then you will see key words in the following information that correspond to your situation. That site is for determining the future though.

So, if this site is to believed, then your name or representation of yourself is needed, then things work 'randomly'. we want to know how the random stuff works, yes?

If the way to see into present or future is to represent yourself with symbols, in this case letters, then it should be easy to figure out. You take your name and think about yourself, then shuffle the cards. The best way to shuffle cards is for a long time, as that gives them the most space to get away from the original 'set.' This should represent the one world consciousness coming into play, as mental energy makes you keep shufling or stop shuffling, it should be that the planets guide your shuffling, just like in all divinations.

Instead of shuffling cards, let's use a telescope to observe planets? Who are we? Well, we would be the vantage of aquiring the telescope and looking into the cosmos. If you read about horrorscope guides,

Planets and Signs in Zodiac Astrology - Daily Stars and Planets Today

You will find that each planet influences an aspect of your life, especially your birth sign.

So, if you had a telescope, which is quite expensive, we will be able to see how planets are arranged and affect us. What about that new planet, niburu? Will that affect all of us?

Looking through your telescope, you need to observe the lie of the planets. If your planet is in line with earth, take this as a good sign, as they follow a gamma ray burst through the earth onto that planet. This means, as gamma rays penetrate earth, that the energy from you will be taken partially over to that planet. If that happens, you influence the thing that influences you! This means, if all your fellow scorpios or whatever are letting off energy, they are influenced by the planet, and influence the planet. As everyone always strives to do well in life, and then again do nasty things in the ghettos, then you will see a 'karma' coming back to you in the forces that you give off.

But, how does the planet affect you, as clearly you affect it!

Well, if you were to observe the firs time you recieve energy i will be comfoting to you for the enrgies to be the same in the universe aswell. Comfort at your mothers arms, or the horror of killing your mother during child birth which will become negligent in the comfort of a nurse, will still be comfort from those energies you connect with.

If the planet was to have a gravitational pull, and all bodies have this, then a sight pull of your mind towards it might be like the planet pulling you towards it in libe with the eath - pulling you into the earth! This means that your energies will be pulled down and you will feel heavy, so maybe it is not good to have the planets inline?

But what are these energies? If you think about it, they must be electrically based on your nervous system.

If the planets are wide and far apart, they will drag your energies all over the place, disorienting you. Hmmm, maybe it is good to have them in a straight line? These energies affect everybody, so it will also be like a one world consciousness. Then everyone will be in a good mood, focused thier energies, and so forth. It might even affect people's life forces, if there is such a thing.

So, back to the tarrot. If you were to shuffle the cards, the energies of the planets will draw them into a 'sync.' this can be explained by gravity pulling them down at regualr intervals to speak with you. Sound wierd? Does to me!

If you were to have the planets talking to you, for some bizzare reason, how do they think? I would hazard a guess that the infromation is like that philosophical sector of 'infromationalism' where information is carried over without being 'conscious.' Maybe someone could help me here? Oh well, never had help before!

So, information in the form of communication is derived from the planets to the cards. This happens with magnetism, atomic reactions, and other factors. This will leave the cards representing the message.

When someone is healthy, they are warm, but when they get sick, they heat up. Many people thought this was good for you, but it is actually bad! The body needs to cool down so that the body can function. When you are sick, try to be out in the cold as much as you can - think of a headache? is it good to wear a hat then, or hold your head?

A alchemist recently told me how to heal with crystals. Crystals if you remember absorb heat. The way to do it traditionally is to place a 'pulse' of your energy into the crystal, then let it float in water. the water then becomes the healing elixer, ok?

Now, scientifically, since we know the crystal takes heat out of the water, it makes it colder. The pulse gets earthed in the crystal as the crystal is not a conductor, but when it is earthed it negates, yes? That part is therefore really old and traditional, so let's skip it?

If you were to observe all the water becoming drained of heat, maybe you should follow up with the 'signs of the times?' Just drink ice water! This will cool your insides down, as you know that bacteria loves to breed in warm places!

a new kind of 'elixer' could be hydrogen gas. Breathed in this gas would cure you of any ailment that is not lethal, yes?

Nothing to add at this time, but a good read. Thanks for posting, Charlatan.

I have recenty downloaded the necronomicon, and there is a spell in there to rise spirits to speak to, so let's analyse that and see if we can, with science, release spirits from their eternal rest? This could answer a lot of questions, as it is said that once you die you will know everything that has happened. Most educational. But how would we support a spirit once it is here? Surely it does not need food or rest, we can just 'raise' it talk to it - think what we could do talking to jesus or something? A good idea? I thought so!

So, to call this spirit you need to make a circle on the floor to protect yourself or you might be attacked in magical belief systems. This is fairly easy to replicate, just lay some chalk on the floor. This is because the earth element, being an opposite of air, will keep the spirit away from you, I guess. If we were to rather make a metal containmen area for all the spirits we hope to 'conjure', then it would be easier, yes? This is standard in all labs, so nothing to worry about there...

Now, it says you need a plinth or alter to put an image of the spirit you wish to call. Then, you need to sing a song, a song that does not rhyme - this goes against what I believe - and then you speak and send the spirit back to wherevr it is from. The necronomicon says that all spirits come from the same place though, through a god of the undead, which is contrary to main stream belief, but we will assume they come from heaven, yes?

This spell would be first to put an image carved out of wood onto the 'alter.' This will be where the spirit is found and appears. This could be simulated by taking a phot of the person out and pitting it there, or if science were to have a say, or rather me myself and i, I would guess that you would need to draw a person with lasers. THis could be done by emitting a outline of the person's face you siwh to call, any random face could be used and probably get a result, and then you would need to keep this etching 'alive' all the while.

Then you need to open 'gates.' This will be simulated by ignoring the gates, as we are using science to conjure our 'phantom', so wouldn't need to sing and dance and all that.

Then you need to invoke the spirit with your voice. This can be explianed as if the spirit were somewhere else and needs to hear you. Simplified further, we could emit music from a computer to sing to the spirit, maybe gathering artistic spirits, or, divine beings, if there is such a thing. This should arouse a spirit to come to our laser pointer area and converse with us, or do i need to do more work on it?

I find it funny how you draw a symbol, then hide it away to charge it, then retrieve it to cast it. Could magic work like this? I have had friends of mine try, but to no avail. Nevertheless, people believe in this, so maybe it does work? They would surely have had such misadventures?

So, you draw a symbol to, let's assume, change atoms or something on a inferior plane or whatever. What else could it be? I suspect it would work like chemistry in this way. Now there are a few levels of 'chemistry' for us to observe, but I am interested in bringing blessings on humanity, obviously, so what if we were to 'draw' a few sketches of poor people eating and having money? We could draw these things, hide them in an art gallery, and then open it wide for everyone to see? Okay, maybe not an art gallery... how about a colledge artists carry bag?

All we have to do is find a link between this simpler sketches and the 'chemistry' ones. If necessary, we might observe the ways of old, using older symbols for money and health that we could carry over? But the only way to know if this works is to know how it works!

So, how does it work? How should it work? Maybe, it has something to do with mental energy? This is impossible to work out, as angels and the dead see it always! If you hide it away from yourself, what are you doing?

What does it mean to draw a spell? If you were to imagine yourself playing with modelling clay, is it like that? Do you shape the spell like a prayer, where you simply arange things the way you like, and hope that they will take on this image? Maybe it has to do with averages? With the new image drawn, it might find a way between the idea and the reality, so drawing your spell out a million times could have a stronger draw on reality? Like a scientist finds a way between his or her theories and reality, maybe the consciousness that surrounds us finds a way to balance the two, leaning towards the reality, yes?

Maybe it is like a wish for the universe? If we were to draw a serene tropical paradise and then walk around, if you walk around for long enough on any continenet you are bound to find it. The closer you are to it the quicker you get there though, so, reality is a big ask. If you want to change the world you might be busy for a long time...
