This video delves into the fascinating principles underpinning magical practices, focusing on the "path of least resistance" and the "principle of proportional energy." Drawing from my extensive fieldwork in the anthropology of religion, I will explain how practitioners from diverse traditions optimise their rituals and spells to achieve desired outcomes. We’ll answer key questions such as: * How does the path of least resistance manifest in magic? * Why do improbable outcomes require more energy? * How do practitioners break down complex goals into manageable steps? * What role do group rituals play in amplifying magical potency? You'll learn how the path of least resistance manifests in magical contexts, allowing effects to occur with minimal opposition and energy expenditure. We'll explore how this principle is analogous to natural sciences, guiding practitioners to align their will with the most accessible and receptive pathways. Additionally, I'll introduce the principle of proportional energy, which posits that the more unlikely an event, the greater the energy required to bring it about. This principle explains why certain outcomes, like winning the lottery, are deemed nearly impossible to achieve through magic. Through real-world examples and field observations, we'll see how practitioners break down complex goals into manageable steps and utilise group rituals to amplify their efforts. These strategies not only enhance the potency of their magic but also reflect a pragmatic, adaptive approach to navigating the dynamics of resistance and possibility. CONNECT & SUPPORT💖
