In this episode, Charlie and Brian, Christopagan Druids, explore the **historical debate on magic vs. miracles**, tracing the origins of the term "magic" in ancient Greece. They discuss how **faith, intention, and ritual work** intersect in both religious and magical practices, challenging the common misconception that magic is merely wishful thinking.
A key focus is the **parable of the mustard seed** from Matthew 17, which is often misunderstood. Rather than emphasizing the _size_ of faith, the passage highlights **faith’s potential for prodigious growth** when nurtured with spiritual and ritual discipline. Jesus himself practiced what could be considered magic, teaching his disciples the importance of **prayer, fasting, and ritual** in achieving transformation.
Charlie and Brian introduce the **Law of Resonance**, contrasting it with the flawed concept of the **Law of Attraction**. Resonance, they argue, is about aligning with specific energies through faith and intentionality—what you put into the universe shapes what you receive. Misaligned or desperate intentions, especially in magic, can backfire, as seen in personal anecdotes about unintended financial consequences.
They also delve into **Paul’s mystical teachings** in Romans 14, arguing that Paul’s approach to faith aligns with magical practice—stating that “whatever is not of faith is sin,” meaning our **belief systems shape our reality and determine spiritual resonance**. Paul, they suggest, was a **practitioner of Merkava mysticism**, a form of Jewish esoteric tradition.
