The core of what is here is based off of a document entitled laws of magick.doc I found on the Gnutella network by way of Bearshare. The original author was Isaac Bonewit. This document is public domain according to The Mage at sbcglobal.net and Aether. Thanks to all who have contributes, especially those on the draconic.com message board!

What follows could be called the Laws of the Universe or the Laws of Metaphysics. These are all true, to the best of my limited knowledge. I have tried to word them, so that they are ironclad and inviolable. If you find some error, wish to add something, make a comment, feel free to contact me. goodlyshomepage@yahoo.com

I. THE LAW OF IMMORTALITY: What does not have a beginning does not have an end. The reverse is also true, what does not have an end does not have a beginning.

Corollary 1 - THE LAW OF IDENTICALITY: All of the same immortal things are indifferential and indistinguishable from any true perspective.

Corollary 2 - THE LAW OF MORTALITY: What has a beginning always has an end. And the reverse is also true: What has an end has to have a beginning.

Corollary 3 - THE LAW OF UNIQUENESS: All things mortal are unique in time and space.

II. THE LAW OF KARMA: All actions (and inactions) and thoughts return to the originator, in the way they were perceived by those affected.

III. THE LAW OF MOTION: All actions and thoughts cause change to occur in the universe; nothing mortal is static.

Corollary 1 - THE LAW OF ENTROPY: All mortal things tend towards chaos.

Corollary 2 - THE LAW OF PATTERN: All manifestations of a given type will behave identically to other manifestations of the same type. All manifestations will behave similarly to similar manifestations.

IV. THE LAW OF THE UNVIERSAL MIND: What is known to one can be known by all.

Corollary 1 - THE LAW OF UNDERSTANDING: finite things can only understand infinite things in a finite manner.

V. THE LAW OF KNOWLEDGE: Greater understanding produces greater influence though greater affinity.

Corollary 1 - THE LAW OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE: Greater understanding of self produces greater influence though greater affinity.

Corollary 2 - THE LAW OF IDENTIFICATION: Complete knowledge equals absolute affinity equals identity

VI. THE LAW OF ASSOCIATION: Greater common characteristics between two manifestations combined with greater knowledge of the commonalties produces greater affinity and influence.

Corollary 1 - THE LAW OF SIMILARITY (sympathetic magick): Effects resembles causes.

Corollary 2 - THE LAW OF CONTAGION: Two manifestations which have been in contact remain in contact. This also implies to observe something mortal is to change it.

VII. THE LAW OF NAMES: Having greater knowledge of a manifestation's true and complete name leads to greater affinity and influence.

Corollary 1 - THE LAW OF WORDS OF POWER: Having greater knowledge of words of power leads to greater affinity and influence.

VIII. THE LAW OF DUALITY: Any mortal manifestation is divisible into two antithetical sets of attributes, each of which contain the essence of the other.

Corollary 1 - THE LAW OF SIGULARITY: Any immortal manifestation has no opposite.

IX. THE LAW OF SENSES: A manifestation's ability to perceive limits its ability to know.

X. THE LAW OF PERSONIFICATION: All manifestations (including people) have personality.

Corollary 1 - THE LAW OF INVOCATION: Any manifestation can conjure real entities from within.

Corollary 2 - THE LAW OF EVOCATION: A manifestation can conjure real entities from without.

XI. THE LAW OF HOME: All things desire to return to their place of origin with complete understanding of what it is to be that thing.

XII. THE LAW OF TEMPORAL CONSISTANCY: Time is a constant, and all changes that are going to occur in time and space have already occurred at one point or another in time and space.

Corollary 1 - THE LAW OF IMPOSSABILITY: What won’t happen, can’t happen. What didn’t happen couldn’t have happened. What isn’t happening, couldn’t be happening.

Corollary 2 - THE LAW OF POSSIBILITY: Only what did, is and will be happening, could have, can and will be happening.

XIII THE LAW OF SPACIAL CONSISTANCY: The sum total of the laws of physics do not change within time or space.

XIV. THE LAW OF ENERGY RESIDENCE: All energy forms always seeks thier lowest point first. Or seeks the path of least resitance.

XV THE LAW OF TRUMPS: Higher energy always wins over lower energy.

Corollary 1 - THE LAW OF ENERGY ADVANTAGE: lower energy can be made into greater energy through technology (the application of science).
