Everyone has experienced synchronicity at some stage in their lives. Most people have a passive relationship with such episodes; they simply happen by accident. However when Magick is used, synchronous events are deliberately Willed into existence. The way in which Magick unfolds is not as simplistic as popular culture makes out. It is not a matter of waving a wand to create some immediate effect, such as physically transforming an object or blasting away obstacles with bolts of energy. Change wrought by this kind of Magick would require a vast amount of energy to be drawn almost out of nowhere. So much, in fact, that the actual laws of physics would not allow for it. It is a misnomer to call Magick ‘supernatural’, for the true forces of Magick do not defy, nor exist outside, the known laws of nature. They are merely aspects of nature that are not commonly understood. Magick operates at a more subtle level of existence which can nonetheless influence the physical laws of nature. Very little energy output is required to effect change in such a way. Magick operates in the realm of probability, uncertainty and, of course, the Chaos principle. In such a field only a small change is needed in the right place, at the right time, before the laws of causality are thrust onto an entirely different course. Magick causes a series of such small changes which, by ‘chance’, lead to exactly the right sequence of events needed to produce a much greater change. The Magickal process is applied to the everyday environment in which the magician lives. For example, a spell might be cast to prompt a certain item of lost clothing or jewellery to appear. The object in question will not spontaneously materialise, but the magician is likely to find it in a most unexpected manner, and not long after the spell has been cast. The Fundamental Truth of Magick does not operate according to pure logic, but unfolds from the realm of uncertainty. Indeed, much of the Universe has now been found to contain uncertainty. It is no longer possible to categorise everything in existence according to definite categories of ‘true’ or ‘false’. Reality contains some illogical quirks, and acts of Magick may be counted among them. That which holds the most fascination for the mind is not the recalling of already known facts, but speculation about what is not yet known. It is the millennia-old mystery behind Magick that renders it so fascinating to human beings even in these modern times. Magick and its full effect cannot be proven empirically, at least not beyond an individual level. Any explanation for it is only bound by logic up to a certain point. This does not, however, compromise the intrinsic truth of Magick for those who practise it. Though its effects may indeed be external, the usefulness of Magick is not rooted in its ability to ‘make things happen’. Instead, the central goal of Magick is still grounded upon an inner change. It is the liberating notion that the human Will is a source of godlike power that can potentially accomplish anything. The experience of using Magick to change one’s own life in an extraordinary manner opens the Self up to the possibility of becoming something more; of becoming nothing less than Divine. The shortest explanation as to what makes Magick work, then, is really quite simple: It is the unlimited belief in your own Power.”

What The Hell is magic anyway? "The Science or Art of causing a change to occur in conformity with Will." (Crowley) The above is as far as I am concerned the best description. lt can be argued that if this were true than everything we do would be an act of magick. An act of getting out of bed or turning on your TV. Would be magic. Meeting a woman at a bar and selling yourself to her to get her clothes off would be magical too. No matter what you do, it is a magical event if it is something that you yourself willed to action. Doesn't matter how simple or complex, it is an act of magick.
I have argued this point many times and l'm sticking to it. lt doesn't always need to be about pulling out the altar and props or shouting out an invocation. There is so much more to it, yet it all becomes much simpler. Every conscious act is magical including the act of reading this book. There are three basic types of magic which can be utilized to achieve your Will which are Low Magic, Sorcery, and High Magic. Low Magic — This kind of magical practice one may find themselves to be pretty good at prior to learning the definition for it. If you understand what makes a man crazy for you when you wear something and you intentionally wear it again and again to attract men's glances, you are using a form of Lesser Black Magic. In a way you are invoking a result using your Will to manipulate the objective universe by mind and personal talent. Sorcery — Mundane Black Magic — Any ritual working used to send your Self's intent into the future. This can range from being as simple a working as chanting a lover's name over and over above a lit candle. lt can be as complex as an all night long ceremonial sex magic rite. High Magic — Possession (invocation) or evocation of dark deities and daemons would fall under this category. 1) Possession — This where you willingly allow yourself to be inhabited by a daemon or god of your choosing. One should be clear of their intent when such an act is performed. Set the ground rules of how you plan to interact with the entity. lt doesn't matter if it is a creation of your own mind, because if doesn't matter if it is a creation of your own mind, because if you can convince yourSelf that it is real, it Will be real enough. 1) Evocation — Calling on a deity of choice for insight or information. (Make a quick note of "to you" as opposed to "into you". This can be compared to Moses and the Burning Bush or to Crowley and the visit from Choronzon. Some LHP magicians consider Possession to be a Cardinal Sin. Taking in anything that distorts your perception and interferes with your clear Will and thought could equal surrendering to something beyond or beneath you. I feel one that is powerful with confidence has the power to allow the Possession to run ifs full course even if it allows him/her to "not quite be themselves." Try invoking Babalon before having great sex with a lover. I dare you.
Become good at any one of these single forms of technique and you Will certainly rise up to a new level of confidence and personal power. Master all of them and people Will begin to notice you when you want to be noticed. Because when you go into a meeting for your job or in public to strut your stuff, you already know what the people want to see, and you dress the part. (This is utilizing your talents with Low Magic.) Cast a Sorcery Spell by creating a Servitor (daemon slave) to visit those you wish to compel, whispering your name and desires into their ears. Follow up with a meditation, the night prior to the meeting, seeing yourself walking through those you wish to enchant and over those that try to stand in your way. (High Magic) If you believe in a deity already does magic work? Yes If you don't believe in anything but yourSelf does magic work? Yes If you believe in one deity but choose to call on another one that you made up... does magic work? Yes You say prove it? I say, prove me wrong. Magic has been useful for as long as man (or woman) has wandered the earth. Since the earliest days, when cave men painted their kill on the walls of their caves to assure a catch from a hunt, man has been wired to make a connection to the other side. Many different traditions on all corners of the world think they have the right formula, trying to crack the codes of the gods.
