Psychological Model

Did you know that there are magickal practitioners who are atheists and do not believe in the supernatural? The modern advancements in psychology and the idea of the unconscious/subconscious mind gave fuel to the creation of a new, very recent model: the psychological one.

In this case, the mysterious entity that magickians manipulate is not a disembodied spirit or abstract “energy”, it is their mind itself. In the psychological model, magick is seen as a means to alter our thoughts and behavior in a way that would help us bring about the desired result. It is also viewed as a way to uncover information hidden in our subconscious.

Someone who uses psychological model might work with spirits like gods, angels, and demons, but they view those spirits not as external entities but as archetypes or projections of one’s consciousness.

Charisma

Charisma is a personal quality of presence or charm that compels its subjects.

Scholars in sociology, political science, psychology, and management reserve the term for a type of leadership seen as extraordinary; in these fields, the term "charisma" is used to describe a particular type of leader who uses "values-based, symbolic, and emotion-laden leader signaling".

In Christian theology, the term appears as charism, an endowment or extraordinary power given by the Holy Spirit.
