The threads here, like any other board, have varying levels of quality. Some of them are talking about superb tier shit, but it tends to be stuff that requires one to already be familiar with the esoteric. But a lot of the rest of the threads are grade a garbage that anyone with knowledge on these subjects either ignores or just shitposts in.
What it boils down to is either 1) chasing the ultimate mysteries of the universe, based on the belief that the renowned figures of the various religions of the world (buddha for instance) really did discover unexplainable levels of wisdom and knowledge, the mere knowing of which affects what you are capable of. or 2) idiots trying to summon spirits to suck their dick which is retarded, and dangerous, on so many levels
"Magic" I don't like the term because it implies you are trying to do something which is impossible, thats not the case at all.. its possible can be broken down into mundane, and understandable concepts, and if you could keep an open mind maybe this would give you a better understanding:
Ever know someone that was very successful at a certain task, maybe business or whatever? And maybe that person had something strange about their daily routine, like maybe they had an item that they believed brought them good luck or helped them maintain composure during high pressure meetings? So, when ever they are going to do this task they always have that item on them, and they tend to always do very well? What a normie would see as something that helps him feel more comfortable so that he can think and perform more clearly, an adept would see an item that has been charged with "magical qualities which helps him."
Now, you could say "thats just taking the ordinary understanding and getting ridiculous with it" And you would be correct. Only, reality is much more ridiculous than most people ever realize. When this phenomenon is replicable, and can be experimented with, there comes a point where it is not so ordinary anymore.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg. But, yea this is some fucking weird shit and I would expect to be thrown in the looney bin if I told anyone irl what I truly believe. But, that's absolutely fine. You don't have to believe in this stuff… I sure as shit didn't until not too long ago. But, one day I asked myself a question. "What is a coincidence?" And I followed that up with another question "at what point is a coincidence a 'coincidence' and when does it become something that is written off as inconsequential merely because of a lack of understanding?" And then "Could such a lack of understanding be fueled entirely by people being unwilling to ask difficult questions; Moreover, could it be that they never ask difficult questions and never seek to arrive at independent answers?"
Look around you, how many people ever question what they are told? Even if there is no malicious intent involved in what they are being told is it not possible that the sources of this "unquestionable information" could be wrong themselves?
TLDR; Explore the world around you and accept no answers aside from those you can prove yourself. Think for yourself let no man tell you how reality works until you have explored all of the possibilities.
