Psychic
Energy
Laboratory
research by parapsychologists has clearly
established the existence of psychic energy (psi). It has
been demonstrated that material objects can be moved in
space by the power of thought. This is call psychokinesis.
Many scientists have now become convinced that psychic
energy exists, and are anxious to find out what it is and
how it works. Some have pointed out that electricity, the
energy on which the modern world is virtually dependent,
has always existed as a hidden potential in the laws of
nature. Yet we have only known how to harness it for about
a century. From this basis, some scientists have suggested
that psi energy might be as little understood and exploited
as electricity was a hundred years ago.
A white magician absolutely believes
that a practitioner of ritual magic would say that he or she holds
the secret
the psychic researchers seek, and would find the analogy
with electricity particularly apt. Before we could use electrical
energy, we had to learn how to generate it, how to control
and conduct it, and how to protect ourselves from it. Ritual
magic claims to have this knowledge in respect to psychic
energy. This energy is produced by certain rituals and it is
controlled by various techniques for convincing the spirits
to do the magician's bidding.
Magicians protect themselves
from negative forces by
various methods. Among the techniques used for this
purpose are the ritual sword, magic circles, and pentacles.
The Pentagram
The five-pointed star of magical ritual is a symbol of both
good and evil. With one point upward, as shown, it can be
visualized as a man's body, and is a representation of the
dominance of the divine spirit over the material world.
Reversed, the pentagram becomes the symbol of evil, with
two upward points representing the horns of the Devil. It is
used in the reverse position if there is a strong necessity
for dealing with evil in a ritual.
