Laws of Magic

Subject: Laws of Magic

[from ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/magick/Truth/law_aphorisms ]

1. Law of Knowledge: to effect/affect a thing you must know the
thing. The more you know about yourself the more you can know
something else.

2. Law of Identification: with your will you can become anything- be
one with anything. (Our only tool is the brain)

3. Law of Contagion: anything that has been in contact with something
else maintains contact with that thing through the ether.

4. Law of Names knowing the True Name of something defines the action
you take to focus a function on that thing.

5. Law of Cause and Effect: under exactly the same conditions using
the same actions you will always obtain the same results.

6. Law of Infinite Data: there is more in the universe than we can
sense or know. Learning never stops.

7. Law of Association: if a thing reminds you of something else it can
be used as a simulacrum for that something else for magickal purposes.

8. Law of Infinite Universes: change your perspective in one area and
you change your universe. There are always three choices available.

9. Law of Invocation and Evocation: there are forces outside and
inside of you that you can tap and direct through your brain.

10. Law of Pragmatism: if it works, it is true.

11. Law of Predestination and Free Will: events are predestined, each
person chooses whether and to what extent to participate in them.

12. Law of Polarity: everything contains and implies its opposite.

COROLLARIES:

a. As above so below. You can extrapolate the universe from one atom.

b. Rhythm serves as a counterbalancing pendulum.

c. "Chance" is a Law which tends to be ignored.

d. "Time" is a function of perspective, subject to the aggregate
psychological outlook of your society.

e. Matter is a function of energy, energy can be converted but not
destroyed.

f. The combination of any two energy forms will result in a third
energy form more complex that the combination of the original two.

g. Even though there are always three choices available, you can
always think of another one.

h. There is no such thing as a wrong emotion, just an incorrect
interpretation and manifestation thereof.

i. Don't take yourself too seriously, you are a physical function of a
very young race. And Life is a lowlife clever practical joker, that
loves to piss on your plans - keep your sense of humor.

j. It may not matter 10,000 years from now, but if it affects you it
matters. Understand it and react accordingly.

k. Don't pee in the beer.
