Hey Scareon, fascinating post. You'd be surprised how many of us in the pagan community are scientifically-inclined. I myself believe that there are scientific principles behind magick that we simply do not understand (and some we do understand, or at least have a basis of knowledge in), and I know I'm not alone in this idea. I would love to help you with your theories, unfortunately I don't think I'm a good candidate as I'm rather new to witchcraft (coming from druidry). In druidry, in my order at least, most of what we do emphasizes the circle and the most prominent non-circular symbol is the awen.

Anyway, thanks again for the interesting post. It gave me something to think about as I head to bed!

Greetings there Scareon :D
Many of use are scientifically minded, and appreciate the works behind the magic. I think there is a post here you will be interested in

Of course ( for those off you will know me) I'm going to chime in with... Look at branches of Ceremonial Magick, especially Chaos Magick stuff. Many people in that area take quite the scientific approach. There's even some work done with the Golden Ratio. I'll dig through stuff And see if i can find some sources for you. I'd love to help test your theory, and I'll look into if i can get the guys at work to make me a quasicrystal.

I haven't tried any of your theories in my craft and magick yet because it takes a lot of brain waves to come up with that but I just want to tell you that your theories are very interesting and refreshing, indeed! :D

As was pointed out, many pagan folks here are scientifically-inclined (including myself). I have bunch of posts here that displays boring scientific explanations and theories of why things happened too :lol: . Yes I agree with you about the crucial link between Science and Magick. Modern Science nowadays are starting to tend to put some semblance of rationality on things that seem to be completely nonrational such as magick and I find it great!
