Magick always involves self-hypnosis. However, it
is more than that too. For one thing, there are objective
forces involved (or so it would seem). Deities, spirits,
and cosmic force can have an independent existence. And the
repetitive physical movement sometimes involved in ritual
can itself generate PK force. On the other hand, it could
be argued that all of this is subjective to the magician.
Perhaps all magical effects could be produced through
hypnosis alone. But the effects are certainly real.
Great complexity is not necessary in magick.
Although basicly magick is a medieval system of symbolism
(in a modern context), any cosmological system will work
from Cabala to Star Wars. We usually use the medieval one
in magick because it is convenient and traditional, and
because it seems to fit our thought processes well. What
really matters is that the model of the magician be
understood and programmed, and thus that the model and the
cosmological system do correspond.
