Muni's PlayThe Probability Model of Magick
Stephen Hawking
“We live in the most probable of all possible worlds.”
Quantum Mechanics Tie-in
This perspective aligns with the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics. MWI suggests that all possible alternate histories and futures are real, each representing an actual “world” or universe.
- Origin: MWI originated in Hugh Everett III’s 1957 Princeton University PhD thesis, titled The Theory of the Universal Wave Function.
The Definition of Magick
In the context of this model, magick is seen as a tool for navigating or influencing these probabilities.
Magick as Probability
“Magick really is … the Art of Changing Probability.”

By shifting one’s internal state or intent, the practitioner attempts to steer their experience toward a specific branch of the universal wave function, making a “less probable” event the “most probable” one in their personal reality.
