I am mainly interested in books that talk about consciousness, quantum mechanics of reality creation, why rituals or chants work through repetition, the science behind correspondences, connecting with spirits and demons, and theories of magick in general. I’ve seen my magick improve once I started to incorporate scientific principles into my everyday decisions and behavior, such as creating art or writing. Please recommend some books that might help me understand more of the logic behind why magick works. So far the most profoundly helpful book I’ve read thus far is Condensed Chaos by Phil Hine. Any other recommendations? Thank you!

@Azazel66613 None of those books meet the OP’s request. Traditional grimoires have very little magical theory in them as they were written with the assumption that the one reading them would already have the theoretical knowledge necessary to use them.
@lucifersbride Magic in theory and Practice by Aleister Crowley; The Psychonaut Field Manual; Liber Null & Psychonaut by Peter Carroll; Hermetic Magic by Stephen Skinner The Emerald Tablet of Thoth by The Three Initiates; Liber 777 by Aleister Crowley; The Field by Lynn McTaggert (covers scientific experiments in zero field theory as a basis for manifesting).

I think the message was addressed to me, my friend. I have not fully read the rules of the forum and I apologize.

So I have to know the theory of magic to use it?
It can be helpful but no, you do not need to know any theory in order to use magick, just like you don’t need to know how electricity works to use a light switch or how your car works to drive it.
