So stay with me here. I’m not saying that science has sat down and claimed that they correlate, but I just wanted to talk about the reasons I personally think they go hand in hand. I also want to note that I myself am a witch and very much believe in magick. But, I understand that a lot of people find witchcraft interesting, but can’t come to accept it because they see no scientific evidence.
► Witches claim that life is all connected through the Divine.
☼ Science actually supports this by saying that everything is made of atoms, thus we are all just one big pool of atoms. So all life is indeed connected on the molecular level.
► Witches claim that reincarnation happens. (Not all believe this, but this is a basis of what many believe.)
☼ (I’m not claiming that science supports this specifically, but parts of science can support this theory.) Science says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, which means that our personal energy does not disappear. So what happens to it?
► Witches claim that energy is the basis of their magick and what they manipulate to make changes in the environment around them.
☼ Science does say that everything has energy so there really isn’t much to say here.
► Witches claim that clear quartz is a cleansing crystal that helps cleanse energies.
☼ Science says that quartz are actually really useful in technology. Why? Because quartz are actually great at transforming energies.
► Witches claim that they can manipulate the energy around them to make changes in the world. Often witches do this by focusing on specific energies and do things to manipulate the energy to make these changes.
☼ Psychology says that people can change what happens around them by simply having a different mindset. This is called self-fulfilling prophecy and means that by predicting that something will happen it is more likely to happen. So when witches do rituals and spells they could be using the self-fulfilling prophecy method.
► Witches use meditation to self calm themselves and talk with their spiritual guides.
☼ Many doctors actually recommend regular meditation as it helps relieve stress, lowers blood pressure, and overall helps keep you happy.
Overall you can decide on your own what you think. However, I hope I helped some of you who are interested in witchcraft but need a bit of scientific support to really believe. Religion is all about what you feel like you need and if you don’t need religion that is okay too!
