How Magic Intersects with Quantum Physics and Chemistry

Let's consider Magic (specifically practical, ritual magic) as a system that finds unexpected yet logical intersections with quantum physics and chemistry.

magic is an area of interaction between consciousness and probabilistic processes, as well as chemical states of matter, that has not yet been formalized by science.

Magic and Quantum Physics

Quantum physics studies the behavior of matter and energy at the subatomic level. It is there that conventional laws (gravity, determinism) cease to function as we are accustomed, and principles that seem "magical" come into play.

The Observer and Intention (Wave Function Collapse)

Physics:

In quantum mechanics, a particle exists in a state of superposition (it is both a wave and a particle, both here and there) until a measurement is made. The act of observation forces the particle to "choose" a specific state. This is called wave function collapse.

The key debate: Does the observer's consciousness influence this process? The Copenhagen interpretation states: "reality is created by measurement." The von Neumann-Wigner hypothesis suggests that consciousness itself is the factor that causes the collapse.

Intersection with Magic:

A magical ritual is an act of intense, directed observation of the desired outcome.

a) When a magician performs a sigil ritual, they create a symbol of desire and then concentrate on it to the point of exhaustion (gnosis). In that moment, they act as the "Observer" demanding that reality take a specific form ("the guitar is given away," "the person is met").

b) Before the ritual, the event "gave/did not give" exists in a superposition of probabilities. The ritual is an attempt to direct consciousness to collapse the wave function in the desired direction.

Magical Principle: "The world is a mental projection. Change consciousness and you change the world."

Quantum Entanglement (Non-locality) and the Link to the Target

Physics:

Two particles can be entangled such that a change in the state of one particle instantly causes a change in the state of the other, even if they are separated by billions of light-years. Information between them travels faster than light, outside of space and time. Einstein called this "spooky action at a distance."

Intersection with Magic:

Magic works through material links (photo, hair, blood, nail, personal object).

a) A particle of the target (for example, blood on a photo) was once part of a single quantum system — the person's body.

b) In magic, it is believed that this particle remains forever "entangled" with the whole body. By acting on a doll (volt) containing the target's hair, the magician affects the target themselves, using the principle of non-locality.

c) Distance is irrelevant. A ritual on a photo works the same whether the target is in the next room or on another continent. This is a direct parallel to quantum non-locality.

Magical Principle: "As above, so below. As within, so without. The part equals the whole."

Quantum Tunneling Effect and "Impossible" Events

A particle can overcome an energy barrier even if its energy is "insufficient" according to classical physics. It sort of "seeps" through a wall. The probability is small but not zero.

Intersection with Magic:

The magician's task is to make the target commit an act that contradicts their logic and self-interest (like giving away an expensive thing for free).

a) The target's logic is the "energy barrier."

b) Magical influence is not a battering ram but the creation of conditions under which the probability of quantum tunneling of the decision through this barrier is drastically increased.

c) The target suddenly "seeps" through their own greed, logic, or caution. They do not understand how this decision came into their head. It is not a breaking of the will, but a "tunnel effect" in consciousness.

NECROMANCY

Necromancy is the magical science of working with the dead and with death.

More practically: it involves influencing the dead, commanding legions of corpses, and working with Death itself. More theoretically: necromancy can take different forms, but it is always directly or indirectly connected either to working with the dead (corpses, restless spirits, etc.) or with Death itself.

A corpse feeds on the energy of the living, just like any spirit that is fueled by people. If you constantly feed it with your grief and endless thoughts about who it was and what it used to be, that creates a channel between you and it. As a result, it starts to devour you. This is one way that parasitic entities attach themselves to people.

A necromancer learns to manipulate the dead in all their grim glory: send them on errands, scare someone, make them shit themselves (figuratively), and so on. Of course, just studying and actually mastering this are wildly different things — especially in the context of necromancy.

First and foremost, necromancy should only be practiced by people with nerves of steel, insane self-control, and a well-developed mastery of planetary and elemental magic. Otherwise, you'll end up dead yourself. Why? Just try accidentally seeing a corpse in your own apartment one day, with the feeling that you're drinking non-stop while on antidepressants.

Necromancy is not cool cemetery aesthetics or looking dramatic with a book by a grave, summoning someone's ghost. If you're inexperienced, the nearest spirits will kick your ass before you even reach the graveyard.

A corpse devours everything living — literally everything. Any energy from a living being that stands within a meter of it. In fact, a corpse is an energetic shell with an endless stomach, and if you keep feeding it, one day it will eat you too. Kind of like that green thing from the movie Ghostbusters.

So if you mishandle the dead, everyone is completely screwed.

In 90% of cases, a corpse no longer has the personality it had in life. It's like factory-resetting a phone — the shell remains, but the data is wiped. This, by the way, only applies to direct communication with the dead. The astral realm, dreams, and so on are a different story, because the dead don't actually need to transition from the immaterial world to the material one (which is why corpses at gravesites almost always appear in the form of something else, like a bird or an animal).

You could try to restore that so-called memory, but there's simply no point.

SLAVIC GODDESS OF DARKNESS MARA

Mara (Morena, Marzanna) is one of the most enigmatic figures in Slavic mythology. She is not simply an "evil goddess of death," as she is often called. To the Slavs, she was the embodiment of inevitable transition, closely linked to the natural cycles of decay and subsequent rebirth.

🌑Goddess of Winter and Death:

Mara personifies cold, darkness, and the fading of life. Her name is related to words like "mor" (plague), "mrak" (darkness), and "morok" (gloom, delusion). She gathers the souls of the deceased, not out of malice, but as a laborer ("The Reaper") doing her work to make way for new life. In the Slavic understanding, death was merely a part of the cycle. Mara allows nature to rest in winter so it can be reborn in spring. Her name was connected not only with death but also with the concept of "harvest," emphasizing her role in the cycles of fertility. As the ancestors said, without death, there would be no new life.

🌑Mara's Image

Mara's image is contradictory and depends on the time of year or the context of the legend. In winter, she could be a beautiful young woman with pale skin and long black hair, dressed in white, azure, or silver-embroidered garments – a prototype of the Snow Queen. At the end of winter, she would transform into an old woman in rags, unwilling to yield her place to spring.

Her constant symbol is a sickle or scythe, with which she cuts the threads of lives. Another symbol is the Black Moon.

🌑 Veneration and Reflection in Traditions

The Slavs had a special attitude towards Mara – she was not so much feared as she was revered, but people tried not to disturb her unnecessarily:

Maslenitsa: The most famous holiday associated with Mara is the farewell to winter. The burning of the Maslenitsa effigy is a pagan ritual of bidding farewell to Mara-Winter, so that she would make way for spring.

·Protection from Illness: During epidemics (plagues), people would ask Mara to take the illness away to the realm of Nav (the underworld). Her idol might be secretly erected and, after the ritual, burned or drowned.

·Connection to Language: Mara's name has been preserved in words like "mrak" (darkness), "morit'" (to waste away, to starve), and "koshmar" (nightmare) (from French cauchemar). She became a prototype for fairy-tale characters like Marya Morevna and Marya the Craftswoman.

MAGIC AS COMMON SENSE AND MAGICAL THINKING.

When you start to delve into magic, you unconsciously begin to attribute any "mysticism" to it as a sign from above. Sometimes it's helpful to listen to your intuition, but it's also important to assess the situation rationally.

Some people can go crazy over such things. Even if a person simply believes that if a black cat crosses the road, one should expect trouble. Why this example? Because it is important to study the background of certain myths and prejudices. In magic, it is important not only to know how to do things correctly, It is also important to study other sciences. Physics is the most fundamental. I'm not urging you to study quantum physics to understand all of this, but to know that if you have a window open in a room and the door suddenly closes, it's because of a draft, not evil spirits.

By the way, I also want to mention conspiracy theories. I am probably the biggest skeptic who decided to engage in esotericism. For example, I do not believe that absolutely every star in the info field sold their soul to the devil to become popular. And I find it very funny, especially when you study the biography of a person, see how they developed their talent and abilities, but everyone says it's because they are working with higher powers. ((

SUCH COLORFUL MAGIC.

When reading another book on magic, you will most likely see the definition of "black" or "white" magic. Black magic usually involves working with demons, curses, cemeteries, and so on. And white magic is necessarily something bright, pure, and good. No, that's absolutely not true. Magic is not divided into white and black at all.

Although, in principle, no one forbids you to call magic black or white, or even purple. The main thing is not to confuse that, for example, the ritual "binding a person" will actually be considered black magic. Why? Because it is destructive. It is intentional influence on a person, breaking their will. But people are used to thinking that if the ritual is love-related, then it's something... good? But again. If you are used to attributing any rituals with demons to black magic, and healing a kitten to white magic - then it's your right.)

SPIRIT: STRUCTURE, DESCRIPTION.

⚠️ You may disagree with my description, that's your right. Esotericism is multifaceted, this is just my opinion based on experience, books, and so on.

Let's break down the concept of spirits. Spirits can be personal assistants, they can help in promoting a ritual, or they can be "guards" of certain places of power, scaring away strangers. There are, of course, planetary and elemental spirits. It would take a very long time to list them all.

The spirit consists of three layers. The form of the spirit can (and sometimes should!) change. For example, take elemental spirits: salamanders, fire spirits, are represented as lizards (roughly speaking). Or "spirits" of the earth are gnomes, in the form of small hardworking little men. The form of the spirit depends on the circumstances. Perhaps this will make it easier to contact a person, or to take offerings (in the form of the same animals).

But let's talk about the layers after all. 1. The core - is located in the middle, is a powerful source of energy, can be considered the brain and heart at the same time 2. The second layer (unnamed) serves as protection for the core, nothing interesting in principle. 3. The shell - serves to maintain the image (namely a ball or sphere), the shell helps to prevent the energy from spreading. If this shell is not there, then the spirit will be an ordinary "liquid" mass as much as possible :)

Character, attitude towards others, image - all this is invented by a person. If you want a spirit of a defender who will be a formidable, terrible warrior, be prepared that he may well get out of control and begin to disobey even you. Prescribing the entire characteristic, description of the spirit is very important in rituals.

But by their nature, spirits are neutral. They have no concept of bad, evil, happy, or sad. They are simply clusters of energy. If a spirit accidentally touches a candle (by the way, this does happen), it can absorb the mood of the space that the candle surrounds. Hence, there are moments when, for example, the flame of a candle begins to move strangely.

WITCH'S BOTTLE AGAINST ANXIETY

Before putting something in the bottle, you need to clear the space inside it. For example, with lavender incense or sage.

Herbs:

Lavender, chamomile, wormwood, St. John's wort, mint, lemon balm, eucalyptus, oregano

Essential oils: lavender, mint, eucalyptus

Add your own hair/nail/saliva to the bottle ( any other substance related to you. but not blood! )

You can also draw a sigil (Against anxiety, for calming down) and throw it in a bottle

Before sealing the bottle, you need to say a spell, it can be anything, it depends on you.

Sealed with orange/green/blue wax (any other color that soothes you personally)

[esokamidzy]

DESTRUCTIVE WORKS AND KARMA.

Destructive works are works where you forcibly interfere in the life of another person, break their will. This could be a love ritual or a curse, and so on. But, for example, a ritual for YOUR protection will not be considered destructive.

If a person works with Gods/Spirits/Something else, instead of, for example, their personal power, it means that the person expects truly serious results from their work. But what about the law that you always have to pay? This is where offerings come in. It can be food, any kind of creativity, minerals, plants, and so on.

And of course, if you only work with your personal power, then you don't need to make offerings to yourself. (with the exception of some relaxing practices to replenish energy).

But let's talk about the so-called karma, or rather, "recoils." As a rule, they appear after the incorrect technique of performing the ritual. At best, your ritual simply won't work, at worst, something not too pleasant will happen.

When you're being destructive, you can often hear people say something like: hey, did you know that you'll get hit for this later?! You have to pay for everything....

No. If everything is done correctly, nothing will happen. AND ONLY if you are working with some forces other than your own. There is no one to punish you if you use personal power. Oh yes, I think I said something about karma. Since this is part of Indian religions/teachings (not only Indian but the source is mainly this), it can either flow into other traditions in esotericism or it may not. If you believe in karma, that's okay. If you don't believe, that's okay too.

MASLENITSA

Very soon (February 16 - 22), Maslenitsa will be celebrated in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and some other Slavic countries!

Maslenitsa is one of the most vibrant and archaic holidays in Russian folk tradition, deeply rooted in pre-Christian symbolism that was later reinterpreted within the Orthodox calendar. It is much more than just a "pancake week"; it's a complex ritual cycle connected to seeing off winter, welcoming spring, commemorating ancestors, and ensuring a future harvest.

This was not just a dressed-up doll but an anthropomorphic image of the holiday, Winter, and death itself. It was created, honored (paraded, "fed" blini), and then ritually killed—burned, drowned, torn apart. This rite aimed not just to "see off winter" but to ensure the rebirth of life through sacrifice, echoing ancient rituals of a dying and resurrecting deity.

Each day of Maslenitsa week had a specific name and strict ritual purpose:

· Monday – "Meeting" (Vstrecha): People built snow hills and forts, dressed up a Maslenitsa effigy (the embodiment of Winter/the holiday itself), and paraded it on a sleigh around the village. Baking of blini began.

· Tuesday – "Flirting" (Zaigrysh): Festivities started in earnest. Young people went sledding, men flirted with girls looking for brides, and merry play-acting took place.

· Wednesday – "Sweet Tooth" (Lakomka): Sons-in-law visited their mothers-in-law for blini. The mother-in-law's pancakes were a folklore symbol of special feast and hospitality.

· Thursday – "Revelry" (Razgul, "Wide Thursday"): The peak of public festivities. This included the "Capture of the Snow Fortress" (a symbolic battle of Winter vs. Spring), fistfights "wall against wall" (a ritual fight to "awaken" the earth's force), and horse-drawn sleigh rides ("combing" the earth to make it fertile). All restrictions were lifted; ritual chaos reigned.

· Friday – "Mother-in-Law's Evening" (Tёshchiny vecherki): Now the son-in-law had to invite his mother-in-law to his home, demonstrating reciprocal respect.

· Saturday – "Sister-in-Law's Gatherings" (Zolovkiny posidelki): The young wife invited her husband's relatives, especially his sisters, strengthening family bonds.

· Sunday – "Forgiveness Sunday" (Proshchenoe Voskresen'e), the Farewell to Maslenitsa: The most important day in terms of folk magic. People asked each other for forgiveness to enter Lent with a pure heart. The climax: The burning (or sometimes tearing apart and scattering across fields) of the Maslenitsa effigy. Its ashes were often spread on fields—a classic ritual of "returning" the symbol's power to the earth for fertility. Old junk was sometimes burned too, symbolizing the disposal of the old.

Slavic demons (Chort)

The Russian word for devil, "chort" (чёрт), is derived from "chyorny" (чёрный), meaning "black" a euphemism to avoid naming the evil one directly. In pre-Christian times, they were malevolent spirits of forests, swamps, and barns. With the adoption of Christianity, they merged with biblical demons but retained a distinctly folkloric character. Their primary role is that of a tempter and mischief-maker, but not as absolute evil; they are often portrayed as tricksters and petty villains.

Appearance and Traits

· Horns, a tail, and shaggy fur (often with goat-like legs and hooves).

· Black or ashen skin/fur.

· A foul smell of sulfur or smoke.

· Shapeshifting abilities: can turn into animals (black cat, dog, pig) or a familiar person.

· They haunt "liminal" spaces and times: crossroads, river whirlpools, bathhouses (as unconsecrated places), at midnight, or high noon.

What they do?

· The Tempter: The classic plot involves a devil offering wealth, power, or skill in exchange for a soul.

· The Foolish Trickster: Often, they are not supremely evil but rather annoying and stupid.

· The Kidnapper: They might steal unbaptized children or carry away sinners.

· The Punisher: In tales, they sometimes punish greedy or cruel people, acting as a dark, karmic force.

Difference from "Bes" (Demon)

"Bes" (бес) is a more theological concept a fallen angel, the enemy of mankind, associated with sin and possession.

"Chort" (чёрт) is a more folkloric, everyday figure. It's closer to people; you can bargain with it, trick it. It embodies life's misfortunes, bad luck, and the dark side of daily existence.

LILITH AS A FICTION IN THE BIBLE

⚠️ If you worship her, I don't judge you, I'm just writing based on historical facts.

Lilith does not exist in the original Bible.

In the Hebrew text of the Old Testament (Tanakh), there is no character named "Lilith" as Adam's first wife. The story of Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis does not include such a character.

In the Book of Isaiah (34:14), the original Hebrew uses the word "לילית" (Lilith). However, in that context, it is not a proper name but most likely refers to a nocturnal predatory creature or a ghost (something like "screech owl," "night owl," or "night specter"). This word appears only once and is not connected to Adam, Eden, or demonology. Therefore, in most modern Bible translations, it is rendered not as "Lilith" but as "night creature," "screech owl," or something similar (derived from the word for "night"). She was not removed—she was never there as a character to begin with.

The claim that "Lilith was cut from the Bible" is a myth. She was simply never included because the authors of the biblical texts were unaware of such a legend.

Lilith is not the mother of all demons in a biblical or historical sense.

In very ancient Mesopotamian beliefs (Sumerian, Akkadian), there were evil spirits—lilitu (female) and lilu (male)—that could harm children. These were just some of many demonic beings, not their progenitors.

The idea of Lilith as the queen and mother of demons emerged more than 1,000 years after the Bible was written, within:

1. Jewish apocryphal literature and folklore (such as in the "Alphabet of Ben-Sira").

2. Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), particularly in the "Zohar" (13th century). There, Lilith indeed becomes the chief demoness, the spouse of Samael (the devil), and together they spawn legions of evil spirits. This was a religious-mythological development within a mystical tradition, not a widely accepted or ancient fact.

"Mother of all demons" is not a biblical or historical concept but a later mystical and folklore construct. Mainstream religious traditions (Rabbinic Judaism, Christianity) do not have such official teachings.

So where did all these myths come from?

1. Attempts to explain a biblical contradiction: Genesis contains two accounts of the creation of woman (1:27 and 2:22). Ancient people noticed this discrepancy and invented a legend to explain it: first came Lilith (created from dirt, like Adam), and then Eve (from Adam’s rib).

2. Cultural blending: Jews living in Babylon encountered local lilitu demons and incorporated their traits into their own mythological figure.

3. Development of demonology: In the Middle Ages, when teachings about demons and angels were actively developing, Lilith was given a "convenient" role as a powerful first woman who became an adversary of God.

4. Popular culture: In the 20th and 21st centuries, these occult and mystical ideas were adopted by literature, film, games, and subcultures, turning Lilith into a "cool" and well-known character while mistakenly attributing to her an ancient biblical origin.

RUSALKA (SLAVIC MERMAID)

The rusalka in Russian mythology is a sorrowful, restless, and vengeful spirit, a symbol of disrupted natural and life order. It reflects the ancient fear of "unclean" death, reverence for the forces of nature, and fertility cycles. This is not a romantic image but a profound, tragic, and authentically folk figure of Slavic folklore.

They are spirits, most often young women who died an unnatural or premature death. They are not half-fish, but appear as maidens (sometimes with pale, even translucent skin), often with long, flowing hair. Their legs may be ordinary, but sometimes they are simply not visible, creating the impression of a tail.

They could appear as beautiful maidens in white shifts (or naked), but often their true essence was ugly. Their beauty was a deceptive lure.

They lived in fresh water bodies (rivers, lakes), but more often — in forests, groves, and fields, especially during Rusalnaya Week (the week after Trinity). During this time, they would emerge from the water, swing on tree branches, and weave wreaths.

Typically, rusalkas sang mesmerizing songs, danced in circles, tickled travelers to death, or lured them into the water and drowned them. They could also lead people astray, frighten them, or steal yarn and thread from negligent housewives.

WITCH FAITH

There are a lot of people in the world, a lot of opinions, a lot of religions and different pantheons. A witch is not obliged to believe in all of them. Esotericism and occultism are things in themselves that require thorough explanation, they directly intersect with quantum physics, the history of ancient times, careful study of myths, and of course logic. Most of the esoteric community have superficial knowledge. I'm not accusing anyone of this. It was just as an example.

What do I mean? For example, a person will worship the goddess Artemis. He will make an altar for her, read a few books about her, and give offerings... But on what layer of the world does Artemis exist? And how will she intersect with the Christian egregore? And with the theory of evolution?

A witch is not required to accept or adhere to the standards of occultism. (Hello chaos magic) There are no uniform standards in the world, no rules in esotericism. But we know for sure that this world is full of beliefs, which sometimes just cannot intersect.

Do you want to believe that Lucifer rules the world? Okay! Or maybe you believe in reincarnation? Not bad.

Maybe you don't believe in anything mythical, but you still practice magic? That's wonderful. :)

ENERGY VAMPIRISM

Your emotions are, first and foremost, energy. And quite valuable. But for now, forget the stories about energy vampires feeding on your envy, hatred, and so on. You can feed on anything. Especially the life force that people don't even suspect they have.

Feeling tired? Become a vampire! If only it were that simple... get ready to sacrifice your emotions, because when you take someone else's energy to replenish your own, you can temporarily disconnect, stop feeling like yourself. And it takes a lot of effort to take someone's energy. It turns out to be a vicious circle. You spend energy to take it - in order to replenish it.

But sometimes life force is stolen for rituals, not for the person themselves. But this is the same laborious process, and here the work is more with spirits than practice associated with living people.

[esokamidzy]

OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE. A JOURNEY TO OTHERS.

This will not be about the astral plane, but about a slightly different experience. Let's remember the character Eleven from the Stranger Things universe. And how, with the help of salt water and a blindfold, she could reach other people. This is definitely not the astral plane.

But in principle, the tactics are the same. This experience helps to look into and search for the images of other people, the ability to influence them (but this is more through dreams). It helps to know what a person is doing at the moment, but it is not always possible to understand who the person is with, because for these actions you need to concentrate only on the SELECTED person. Actually, if there is someone else there, it will be more like a blurry image.

I recommend practicing this in cool water, preferably without light or extraneous smells. Incense may work, but not too fragrant. You can use candles, but not too close, so that when you close your eyes you can barely catch the light from them.

[esokamidzy]

OWN SPIRITS.

I don't think it's a secret to anyone that you can create your own "patron" or something like that. Give him a specific task, create an image, and so on. You can also find a spirit, not create it.

The main thing to understand is that if a spirit is created for a negative task, for example, to take revenge on a person, or to scare people in nightmares... Then such spirits are difficult to control. They will stop listening to their creator, and can cause a lot of problems for their master.

The attitude towards the spirit is a very fine line. Where it is necessary to show due respect and reverence, but also to be strict in giving your orders.

It is important to choose the right basis for your spirit. On what element or elements will it be based? Or a planet. What will it be able to do and what will it not be able to do?
