The Laws Of Magick
The laws of magick are laws in which have been accumulated in order to explain how magick will behave in certain situations. These laws have been gathered by many individuals who have had the same experience, and effects from magickal workings. These laws are good to know in order to understand how to use, and create new types, and forms of magick. Through understanding of these laws one’s knowledge of magick will be forever changed. You’ll be able to see these patterns in your everyday magickal practice, identifying them, and realizing they affect your working. You also might be able to figure out some uses for these laws to enhance your practice. I feel that these laws have something to offer everybody no matter what part of your path you are on.
The Law Of Knowledge
The law of knowledge is the more you know about something the more power you have over it. Knowledge is truly power. By knowing about something you have the ability, and the means in order to change, or control it. This law is not exclusive to magick. The law of knowledge is the most basic law of magick, but maybe one of the most important.
The Law Of Self-Knowledge
The law of self-knowledge is a sub law of the law of knowledge. It is basically you should know thyself. Knowing yourself gives you power over you. Understanding the ins, and outs of yourself is the best way to grow, and learn. Without knowing yourself you do not know your limitations, and weaknesses, or the max of your power, and can never hope to raise to heights unknown. You are the master of your destiny, and the captain of your soul.
The Law Of Cause & Effect
The law of cause, and effect is if you commit a certain action, or actions it will usually produce the same result every time. Applying the this magick is different than applying it in science to the inherent fact of the amount of variables that you can not regulate, or even understand to perceive magick. This leads practitioners to focus on the more important effects to get there certain outcome.
The Law Of Synchronicity
The law of synchronicity is there is no coincidences. Two or more events seldom happened without being interconnected in some way, or form. Isolated events, or experiences can occur, but it is rare.
The Law Of Association
The law of association is where two things have in common one, or more properties, and these properties can be used to control both of these things. These two things are connected by imposed, or imaginary conditions giving you the power to control both of them if you use the imposed, or imaginary conditions.
The Law Of Similarity
The law of similarity is having an accurate representation of an entity, a place, or a thing that will allow you to gain power, and control over the entity, place, or thing it represents. We see this law used a lot in different types of curses, love spells, and binding rituals were you need a picture representation, or to visualize the person. Having things that look similar to your target will give you power, and control over them.
The Law Of Contagion
The law of contagion is if something has contact with something else it will continue to have contact with it even after they are separated. This means if you touch something, that something we’ll have a direct line to you even after you leave connection with it. This connection can also be used as a target in magickal working to get to you. Which makes everything that you own, or come in contact with have a part of you in it.
The Law Of Positive Attraction
The law of positive attraction is energies are attracted to the same certain energy. Two energies that are alike will come, and be attracted to each other. This means that if you put out happy energy, more happy energy will be attracted to you.
The Law Of Negative Attraction
The law of negative attraction is energies that are the opposite of each other are attracted to each other. One energy goes out in the opposite energy of it will come in. This means that if you put out happy energy, more negative energies will be attracted to you.
The Law Of Names
The law of names is if you know the true name of an object, a being, or a process you will be able to control, and manipulate it. The name is one of the most powerful targeting techniques in all of magick. This is why people use secret magickal names. It allows people not to have power over you. If you say names of things that are negative it gives them power, because even mentioning there names gives them your energy.
The Law Of Words Of Power
The law of words of power is there are some words in this reality in which hold power for certain people. Depending on what word it is, who it is spoken in front of, and who has spoken it. Can affect, manipulate, and control certain people. This is like the word witchcraft. It’s a good, and positive thing when you’re talking to other witches, but becomes a bad thing if you were to speak of it in a church to the pastor, or to most people in the congregation. Words have power.
The Law Of Personification
The law of personification is by treating anything as a entity, or being, and considering it to be alive it will be easier to control, and work with.
The Law Of Invocation
The law of invocation states that it is possible to communicate with entities from inside, or outside external self from entities that seem to be on the inside.
The Law Of Evocation
The law of evocation states that it is possible to communicate with entities from inside, or outside external self from entities that seem to be on the outside.
The Law Of Identification
The law of identification is where a thing is so highly associated with another thing that it actually takes on the knowledge, and power of that being.
The Law Of Infinite Data
The law of infinite data is exactly how it sounds. The amount of information is unlimited, and there is always something to learn, create, or to be discovered. There will always be something new.
The Law Of Finite Senses
The Law of finite senses is entities are limited by range, and type of information they can perceive. This means most likely that one entity can not perceive everything for something will always be hidden. No entity will be able to make accurate judgment through a hundred percent of all universal information.
The Law Of Personal Universes
The Law of Personal Universes is every individual creates his/her own personal universe that can never be the same as anyone else’s.
The Law Of Infinite Universes
The Law of Infinite Universes is there’s an infinite number of possibilities for universes the can, and do exist.
The Law Of Pragmatism
The law of pragmatism is if it works, it is true.
The Law Of True Falsehoods
The Law of True Falsehoods is if it’s a paradox it’s probably true.
The Law Of Synthesis
The Law of Synthesis is everything can be split down into multiple opposing characteristics that in body a little bit of each other. These multiple opposing characteristics are not naturally at war with one another, and can work in harmony.
The Law Of Opposites
The Law of Opposites is is a sub law to the law of Synthesis. The opposite of something is uniquely connected to that something. Control over the opposite of something will also give you control over that something.
The Law Of Dynamic Balance
The Law of dynamic balance is a very important. It states that one’s universe must be in a constant state of dynamic balance so that one does not become an an extremist on one of the sides. This law make sure you did not get completely consumed by one aspect of any form. Balance is key in life, and magick.
The Law Of Perversity
The law of perversity is pretty much just murphy’s law which states anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
The Law Of Unity
The law of unity is everything is connected directly, and indirectly of each other regardless of time, or space.

Something similar: The Seven Hermetic Principles or Natural Laws
POSTED: OCTOBER 23, 2012 BY KIRKASTHEMELD
These are the Seven Hermetic Principles as found in the Kybalion among other texts. They are naturally existing laws of the universe and shape our reality. With the understanding and appreciation of these laws, one can live more harmoniously with themselves and the natural world.
1.) The Principle of Mentalism– This principle states that the universe and everything around us is a mental construct. We are all co-creating our perceptions of the world and everything around us.
2.) The Principle of Correspondence– This principle informs us that the microcosm is a direct reflection of the macrocosm and vice versa. It is from this principle that we derive the saying “as above, so below.” This can be seen all throughout the universe. Microscopic organisms mimic the same shapes and forms of galaxies.
3.) The Principle of Vibration-This principle shows us that everything in the universe is made up of vibratory energy. We are at our essence, vibratory light energy.
4.) The Principle of Polarity-This principle exemplifies the natural duality that exists within nature. Hot and cold, light and dark, good and evil. Without an opposite, these expressions would lose their identity. All opposites are just varying degrees of the same thing.
5.) The Principle of Rhythm– This principle says that all elements in the natural world move in a rhythm. This can be seen in the animal kingdom as well as the cosmos. Everything fluctuates.
6.) The Principle of Cause and Effect– This principle demonstrates that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Everything we do has an effect on something. Once this concept is grasped, we see that what we do really does matter.
7.) The Principle of Gender– This last principle states that everything has masculine and feminine characteristics. We all have rationale (attributed to the masculine) and compassion (attributed to the feminine). A balance of these elements is essential to the completion of the individual. This is true in a physical sense as well in that when we are born, our gender is merely determined by a one chromosome differential.
These principles have been passed on since time-immemorial through various mystery schools and esoteric philosophies. With the ongoing awakening that is taking place all around us, the understanding of these priciples by the individual provides that person with a key to unlocking the doors of their understanding of the mysteries of life. These principles are coming to light again for a reason. Take head and let them guide you on your path.

Yes, I love the Hermetic teachings of the kybalion my friend. They hold a lot of metaphysical knowledge and understandings which are so influential. With both of these understandings one can really, do some good metaphysical work.
