• Einstein initially discovered that time is not a static straight line as had been traditionally thought, and quantum physics has substantially muddied this issue. Quantum physics now stipulates that information and even matter and energy can travel backward through time under certain circumstances.

• It has been discovered that something measurable in the structure of the brain actually anticipates events before they happen. An experiment several years back proved this monitoring brain activity during a simple task such as catching a ball. The brain starts sending impulses instructing the muscles to properly catch the ball before the nervous system has time to legitimately process any data relating to where the ball will end up.

• Chaos theory, the study of mathematical principles driving organic and complex phenomena, has proven the old credo of the ritual magician: “As above, so below.” In its simplest form, both concepts state that the workings of the universe follow specific patterns, and that the patterns behind large scale phenomena are essentially the same at small and large scales.

• There is a chapter of a documented medieval Latin translation of the Jewish kabbalah that explains the relationship between spirit and body in almost the exact terms that Einstein used to explain the relationship between energy and matter.

• The concept of the aura, soul, spirit or energy body is a staple of many magical traditions. We now know that the human nervous system does produce a measurable electromagnetic energy field (although our current understanding prohibits the conscious use of this energy field in any particularly constructive way).

• Quantum Physics stipulates that the act of observing something inherently changes the thing being observed. While this is not currently believed to apply to phenomena larger that the subatomic level, the very idea was mindblowing enough to send theoretical physicists into conniption fits for the better part of a century. And of course, for the magician, it’s tempting to apply “as above, so below” to the notion…

• Several healing practices once thought to be entirely magical in nature are now widely accepted to have real therapeutic benefits, including Acupuncture, acupressure, herbalism and “therapeutic touch” (the latter is still controversial). The underlying idea behind Homeopathy is very similar to the concept behind vaccination. (In practice, however, it’s a lot better to get vaccinated.) Other techniques, such as Reiki energy healing, are not proven but generally manifest at least a placebo effect toward well-being.
