Magick IV Magickal Medicine

Paradox: If homeopaths knew how homeopathy actually worked, it wouldn’t work.

Commentary 8

The erroneous theories of homeopathy arose from the early, purely empirical, practices of immunisation, and an ignorance of Avogadro's number which quantifies the number of molecules in a given sample. An understanding of the mechanics of active and passive acquired immunity, which came much later, would have prevented the development of such theories in the first place.

Homeopathy has let magick back into medicine at the small price of demanding belief in a completely wrong theory by its practitioners.
