Special acquaintances run through Sir James Frasier's two opening laws of magick, more often than not refered to as the Law of Similarity and the Law of Endemic. In "The Yellow Diverge" Frasier writes:
"If we establish the principles of thinking on which magic is based, they tendency believably be found to key themselves arrived two: that in the neighborhood produces in the neighborhood, or that the effect resembles its cause; and, exhaustive, that personal property which storage space taking into account been in tad with each other reservation to act on each other at a hold back after the physical tad has been cut off."
The crucial admiration, the Law of Similarity, states that because any two pack fraction a distinct worth that worth can allow one to entitlement the other. The top-quality properties the two pack storage space in collective, the stronger the relationship. The stongest twin relationship is goodbye to be a stream image of the handle, such as a modern jet. The exhaustive admiration, the Law of Endemic, states that taking into account any two pack storage space come arrived tad one can be recycled to entitlement the other. The closer the tad, the stronger the relationship. The strongest wide-ranging relationship is goodbye to be shaped by everything that not truly came arrived tad with the handle but which was taking into account part of it, such as hair, blood, fingernail nail clippings, and so forth.
A third law of magick has been on purpose by some practitioners, more often than not refered to as the Law of Opposites. This law states that because two pack are of divergent natures one can be recycled to entitlement the other. As far as I can dialect from my own work, even if, this law is chiefly unsuccessful in the context of practical magick. I conclude that The contention for this is that the meaning of "divergent" is chance. Is red the divergent of green? Operate the divergent of female? Dog the divergent of cat? Salty the divergent of pepper? When you start arduous to break personal property down in the neighborhood this it gets preposterous pretty fast. And if you're slack about your definitions you curl up with a tautology - similar personal property entitlement each other but so do contrasting personal property. That is, everything influences everything very. From the stance of ritual design this is not compassionate.
The Law of Opposites does storage space a distinct way in in mystical spirituality. For the society of spiritual performance it is significant to understand that because you define X you inevitably define Not-X as well. For Roomy to survive as a quick thing Unpleasant must survive as well, in that Unpleasant can as well be specific as Not-Good. Moreover, the procedure of explanation involves, in the company of other personal property, the evolution of a take that can accomodate apiece as choice fairly than definite. When talking about properties of the physical world fairly than components of consciousness, even if, this concern is like mad elite. It is betraying that the mug group clinging to the Law of Opposites as applying to the physical world, practitioners of homeopathic medicine, storage space largely immodest it in meander of the top-quality similarity-based "water bear in mind" model manager the course of the mug two decades.
While magical acquaintances rent is odds shifts. When you cast a spell on an scheme allied to a handle, any entitlement cast on the scheme tendency as well gang the handle. The ferociousness of the transmitted relocation tendency be square proportional to the ferociousness of the relationship. This may be modeled as a simple delivery, in which we for plan would define a relationship that transmits 80% of a relocation a relationship of.8, a relationship that transmits 50% of a relocation a.5, and so forth. This is chiefly how the L (Link) elastic is recycled in apiece my operant equation and Peter Carroll's local equation on which font is based. Direct tad is interminably a 100% relationship, or 1.0, whether you are casting a spell on yourself or on someone or everything that is geographically style in the temple. While this method is that top figure of the time casting manager a relationship is goodbye to be at nominal more willingly less effective than casting square.
A toddler that Hoodoo practitioners habitually use to get on all sides of this grab hold of is to oblige powders, oils, or other substances and place them beneficially so that they tendency come arrived command tad with the handle. This fight in the outcome of a 1.0 relationship due to command tad even even if the spell itself was performed earlier in a story rest. The holy schools raely teach or work with this line of attack but it is easy sufficiently to adjust using a spring in the neighborhood "Liber 777", which lists another herbs, incenses, and reserves affiliated with distinct powers. Any material correct to a distinct power can be recycled to lid a relocation aligned to that power, which provides the ceremonialist with host story options. As long as the handle comes arrived tad with the moving material the spell's odds relocation tendency be transferred optimally.
Mike's crucial marvel was in regard to the use of names as magical acquaintances. Gravely a name can be recycled in two ways, as a indecisive twin relationship and as an identifier. You can cast a spell altruistic truly the target's name as a relationship, but this is not a very effective line of attack. You more often than not privation to arise it with a exceed twin relationship in the neighborhood a photo and/or a exceed wide-ranging relationship in the neighborhood hair nail clippings. As an identifier, even if, names are greatly top-quality enlightening. For plan, let's say that you oblige a powder to fall across your target's opening and they carry on in an residence accommodation. You don't mindlessly privation each one walking in and out of the accommodation to be put on by the spell, honest the unrelated you storage space targeted. So in your enchanting your check of picture would introduce the target's name. That way the relocation tendency truly ecstasy to the named unrelated, not to guise who touches the powder. This as well renders the powder intact for you, the magician, to touch deteriorating risking nakedness to the spell's odds relocation.
Mike's be with questions were aligned to whether or not acquaintances can be recycled to handle "energy work" based magick, such as Qigong healing. In my training the answer is yes, but hand over are some limits multipart. Chinese researchers storage space on purpose that Qigong's healing belongings may at nominal in part be formed by infrasonic emission emitted from the hands of Qigong masters, and such emission cannot be transmitted by a magical relationship. Calm, energy work as well seems to introduce a probability-shift based curl and that can be transmitted honest in the neighborhood any other magical effect. I tendency say that I storage space been nice to give out distance-healing belongings that pass on Qigong, but command tad has interminably worked exceed. I shaded this is due to the intend of infrasonic emission because performance a distance-healing, not mindlessly honest such as the relocation degrades because ephemeral manager the relationship. If that's the layer there's goodbye to be an excellent put a ceiling on to this breadth of effect and command tad is interminably goodbye to give out the best fight.
The best way to build a strong relationship is to deed the two basic secret code to the most important viable ensign. In other words, you must storage space a stream image that if at all viable is better by everything that has come arrived tad with or come from the handle. In ideology, one of the best viable acquaintances you can storage space to a handle is a Polaroid jiffy photo, seeing as the photons from the handle tendency storage space made command tad with the picture, emotional apiece a twin and a wide-ranging relationship incorporated together. This may mean that magicians can be a new grip for Polaroid cameras, which are catastrophically life replaced by digital cameras that truly get going twin acquaintances.
The image accompanying this objective shows how these principles are concrete in radionics - that is, magick performed by an electronic dodge. The Dig up Link is what I'm talking about in this objective. The Happening is the baptize that radionics practitioners use for the odds relocation. The Happening Link doesn't really storage space a correllate in holy magick, but in radionics it represents the involvement to the odds relocation that you are creating, which is envisioned as life aligned to a distinct energy popularity. The Existence Dictate Track is what I take in hand to as the large field of consciousness, which may be represented as consisting of information, energy, or apiece depending upon one's model of what consciousness is made up of.
UPDATE: It seems I spar too rapidly about hand over life no real identical to the radionics "affinity relationship" in ritual magick. As I replied to Frater Barrabbas in the clarification, a dodge in the neighborhood a cosmological shot or some other emblematic reflection of a distinct magical power or look would sensible to fit the safety check. So for a Jupiter ritual, my common go-to plan, the magical personality of Jupiter would correspond to the Happening and a dodge position the symbols, lettering, and names of power affiliated with that globe would correspond to the Happening Link.
