On February 15th, 1988, Stephen Mace published a book about the mechanics of sorcery. On its cover — a Feynman diagram. That same day, Richard Feynman died.

The book was called "Sorcery as Virtual Mechanics," and it proposed something no one had attempted before: a working mechanical explanation for how magick actually functions — drawn directly from quantum electrodynamics.

In this video, I break down Mace's framework step by step. You'll learn how virtual photons — particles that technically shouldn't exist — mediate every force interaction in the universe. How Carl Jung unknowingly documented the same dynamic between human minds. And how the artist-sorcerer Austin Osman Spare built a practical protocol to exploit it a century before Mace named the mechanism.

This is not metaphor. This is not philosophy. This is mechanism — and it's testable.
