How Witchcraft Works
In this post, I explain witchcraft and how and why it works. I share with you how magic works according to seven Hermetic principles and how this relates to the idea of thoughtforms. I also shared some of the limiting beliefs about witchcraft that holds many people back from practicing.
The Five Other Principles of Magic
We’ve talked about the seven principles of magic. Did you know that there are five other principles or laws that govern the way that this Universe works? Most commonly known as the "Twelve Immutable Laws of the Universe," each law beautifully coexists with the others to create a bigger picture.
Principles of Magic: Rhythm
Everything in this world has order and that’s what the Principle of Rhythm is all about. Everything in existence is like this: cycling, swaying, flowing, swinging back and forth. Everything is either growing or dying.
Principles of Magic: Polarity and Gender
The law of polarity says that everything can be separated into two wholly opposite parts, and that each of those still contains the potentiality of the other. There is a balance between opposites. The Principle of Gender focuses on one specific energetic polarity: active and receptive.
Principles of Magic: Cause and Effect
The base of this principle is that nothing happens simply by chance. Everything happens for a reason. This applies to everyone equally, and you can often find the root cause if you look closely.
Principles of Magic: Vibration
The differences between physical matter, energy, and spirit are the level at which they vibrate. Physical matter is a dense, low vibration and the Universe is at an infinite level of vibration. In between objects of the lowest vibration and the highest level, there are innumerable varying degrees of vibration.
Principles of Magic: Mentalism
The principle of Mentalism tells us that there is some higher power and the universe responds to our thoughts. Thoughts supplied with energy become reality. The ability to create, is a power that we share.
Principles of Magic: Correspondence
The principle of correspondence basically says that our current reality is a mirror of what is going on inside us. Therefore, our reality is a result of our inner most dominant thought.
