"where does magic come from?" - nice koan! - thanks!
where does electricity come from? - electromagnetic like a generator or chemical like a battery - both work on an atomic level to strip off electrons and send them through the wire
a infrared grill or stove heats through the use of invisible light, vibrating the atoms - so does a microwave, using invisible radio frequency energy to vibrate the atoms
psionics (energy work) is using the body's energy to vibrate
magicians vibrate
magic is the same - a vibration that affects stuff
google 'string theory' for a good starting point
in the void there is no magic
a thousand cultures each have their own theory, are they all wrong, or all they all right, or does it matter if you recognize that magic just 'exists'
For what it is worth, being a new kid on the block. I agree with this answer. As contradictory as it appears on the surface. I would even go a step further to say that "majick" is something you "are" more than something you have. And its effects are the drawing pond which attracts us to the "divine" (or the "infernal", if you prefer). (IMG:
