Science and Magic

Ah. The merging of these two worlds of religion and science would be alchemy. May I recommend 'The Magus'. The science application mindset of the Magus was to Firstly learn the set of correspondences for all things. Correspond a planet to a color an and to element etc. long list of those. (general Wicca or Witchcraft or Spellcraft teaches that part.) Then set up a table somewhere to do some experiments. And don't let anyone tell you that the Magus or Witchcraft does not be scientific! Quite the contrary!

Warning: Please Avoid Aliester Crowley at all cost. He was a dufus as he thought he allowed evil Satanic something's to possess him and produces no sense. He went crazy. So avoid his Thelema books. They are lies and against the true nature of paganism. And against scientific magic or alchemy.

I want to read books on Explanations of science and, Magic and Religious beliefs.

The Magus is one of the primary sources for the study of ceremonial magic.

The pagans spell this as Magick with a k. So as not to be confused with theatrics.

Magick and spells, elementals, faeries and wizardry are all part of science. Also avoid harry Potter as that stuff warps minds.

Magick has mixture of prayer and correspondences applied for a intentions and wishes.

Learn that and herbs uses correspondences be all set for that sort of knowledge.
