I could never figure out the attraction of all this occult nonsense. If it works go empirically prove it, if not just cut our the wishy-washy BS involving the waving around of swords, casting spells or spelling magic with a 'k'.

If you haven't read at least parts of The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall, Psychology and the Occult by C.G. Jung or similar lecture providing the profane with the tools to get something out of occult works, you're really just swinging your ignorance around here.

Don't worry, I used to think like this as well, but I'm glad I got out of it. No judgment intended.

Go prove the string theory. (Or the general relativity that toon decades to have an answer)

But who would attempt to live their life using string theory as an organizing principal?

Occult is nonsense, if it does the kind of manipulation of reality it's supposed to do, then go prove it.
