Greetings, dear friend. Could you share your thoughts on what is a quantum transition in the magical sense? What do you think about it? I will be very grateful for your reply!

Hello hello!

Unfortunately, anything "quantum" (specifically in new age/spiritual/witchcraft spaces) usually has nothing to do with witchcraft/magic and is deeply rooted in pseudoscience - so I (nor will anyone else) have any information for you on this. Quantum physics and other topics are much more complicated then folks want to believe, which leads to a lot of misinformation and, ultimately, folks falling for pseudoscience. More specifically, I've found that new witches/practitioners that are looking for a "scientific" reasoning that witchcraft works tend to fall down this rabbit hole of new-age beliefs such as vibrations, quantum physics, etc. (which, again, are complete pseudoscience).

@creature-wizard might have more feedback/information for you that can point you in the right direction, if you are interested in educating yourself on how terms like "quantum" are used in new-age spaces!

(Also, I cannot help but laugh at the thought that you would ask me this question - as if I know ANYTHING about the subject of quantum physics, LOL. I am not some hot-shot scientist. I'm just someone who likes to practice witchcraft and read/write about it.)

This is as far as I got before I hit the transphobic post btw

NOT TO DISAGREE with the previous rebagel - but the question that I had around "I tried several spells and they didn't work!" was too hard to pass up.

What... how did you confirm that they didn't work?

-> Divination? If so, what strategy of divination? Are you sure you're reading the divination as objectively as possible? Or are you letting bias into your reading? Have you tried to make the divination and give it to someone else to interpret? Paid for another person's services? (I don't trust divination personally for spell outcomes but some people do).

-> Did you wait? After each one? Or did you just do them all in one row one right after the other? Is it possible you casted so many spells they've bungled themselves and tied themselves in knots? Did you break the spells you casted prior? Did you leave them with an exit strategy?

-> Were you looking for a very specific outcome?

-> Is it past the time where that outcome could have happened and didn't? Did you do spells to change the past? is that what you're doing?

2. How many is several? One? Two? Twenty?

3. What techniques did you use? Ones you're familiar with? Or ones you are just trying out?

4. Which spells? Can I see? Let me see the paper - I want to see what it says.

5. What were you looking for in X? Are you just looking for a genre or a specific thing?

6. What are some examples of spells that have worked for you in the past and under what conditions did they work?

7. Have you tried spell breaking? And are you aware of any others who might be deflecting or spellbreaking your spells? Such as, IDK, spirits, gods, land spirits, dominion owners, etc. You may not even have the right to cast this particular spell for this particular outcome - it happens. Occasionally.

8. Who else are you asking about this spell situation? No, who else. No, not on tumblr. No I mean, who else are you asking. Sometimes the elses know some shit (tm) and can give you the gossip for a fair price.

9. What did you dream about recently? No I'm just asking because I'm curious - it's not related to the situation tbh
