i think if you tried to explain or discover how magick works scientifically, it would cease to exist, sort of how like if you are in a dream and you realize you are in a dream, the more you try to consciously control the dream, well you will inevitably cause yourself to wake up. this is why magick cannot be tested in a lab or caught on camera

in my darkest hour, i used my magic potions and herbs while praying for the sky queen to inhabit my body and liberate my soul from worldly shackles, and she sent her blessed messanger to guide me back to light. if you are lost, desperate, sincere, and open you can ask for help too.

the mundane explanation is that you can experience psychological processes that appear as external to yourself while still being generated in your brain. those are spirits

my mom says she's a medium who can talk to ghosts and spirits that have moved beyond the veil and that's pretty good magick i think

messing with dark sided things and the occult just leaves your spirit open to demonic influence. not worth it. and there side doesn't have a lick of power compared to Almighty God anyway. trust in him and see real miracles in your life.
