What is the difference between a paradigm and an ontology and how do they affect magic?
– an ontology is a worldview, an essential understand of the way things are. A paradigm is basically the same thing, although some define it in “smaller” terms, as a subset of an ontology; for example, “an ethical paradigm” or “a dietary paradigm.” The business of magick is the business of changing your ontology – changing the rules of reality, the way things are, with conscious direction.
