Synapse and Shadow: Where Magic Meets Science

Synapse and Shadow: Where Magic Meets Science


03 | Planck’s Sacred Circle

November 28, 2024
Episode Overview

When Max Planck declared “consciousness is fundamental,” he might not have realized he was providing a scientific framework for understanding sacred space. Join host Tegan Lleuad as she explores the fascinating intersection of quantum physics, neuroscience, and magical practice.

What really happens when we cast a circle? Why do certain spaces feel different from others? Through modern scientific measurements and traditional magical understanding, we’ll examine the measurable changes that occur in ritual space – from brainwave patterns to electromagnetic fields. Learn how quantum field theory might explain the energetic boundaries we create, and discover practical techniques for working with these principles in your own practice.

Whether you’re a scientist curious about ritual mechanics or a practitioner seeking deeper understanding of your craft, this episode bridges the gap between scientific precision and magical wisdom.
