valarltdTalking about magic today.
Magic absolutely works. To understand why, you have to know what magic is. It's applied will. Applying my will to my small corner of the universe changes me and changes that corner. So things change.
It is not bibbity-bobbity-bo, or turning people into frogs (has anyone run the amount of energy needed for that level of matter conversion lately?). It's pretty much, as I practice it, headology.
Headology is not psychology, although it is related. A psychologist tells you there are no monsters. A headologist gives you a bat and a chair to stand on.
One of my best examples of magic:
During my first two pregnancies I got deathly ill. Just sick as could be, insomniac to the point of hallucination. There was no physical cause to these.
For my third and fourth, I wore a fertility rune. It was a piece of clay, the rune made by Sharpie, with nothing supernatural about it. But it let me focus my subconscious psychosomatic problems on it, and I had much easier pregnancies.
That is magic. It's focusing will to create an effect.
It always works, provided you understand what magic is and isn't.
