Context: This makes Spells work.

1. The Universe makes spells work.

Under this paradigm, the idea is that the universe as an entire whole of all things (including us) is what creates anything in this world. It’s a known, “awake” figurehead and out of this vastness called The Universe, we see that the Universe is known for making things - ie all the things that it is it makes.

Therefore, in order to make change, the Universe must be involved in the spell. Be it from the standpoint that the Universe’s energy needs to be involved or the figurehead/the All/the Consciousness needs to be prayed to in order for the spell to be worked through the creation which the Universe does. [Ie it’s the Universe’s Job to create things]

2. Harnessing the natural energy or living force or what have you of objects makes spells work.

See some forms of Animism.

Basically the idea here is that objects inherently hold some type of energy or living force or something which can be used within spellwork, in order to get something accomplished. For example, an herb or a plant, inherently based on it’s natural properties (ie a flower that’s shaped like a heart, would be good for spells about hearts [in every sense of the word]) - has a form of energy residing with it.

When it is used in spellwork, it is being drained of it’s energy/living force OR it’s living force/energy is being tapped INTO (see 1.) in order to symbolically create change. In some aspects this is literal rather than symbolic, such as a plant which may have healing abilities being utilized not just for it’s natural items but also for it’s spiritual ones (ie a pain reducer, which also spiritually counteracts anything supernatural that might be causing the pain). 

This is a lot harder to discuss without actually coming from the place of this paradigm.

3. The Human Will/Willing Things makes spells work.

This one is probably the most commonly discussed paradigm that there is in all of spellwork. It asserts that the human will is so powerful, that it can literally affect the world. And in some cases, which is used as examples of this, this is true. Such as the human will to create living spaces for themselves or manipulating elements to make nuclear facilities. In any case, the point is that the human will is the only thing that one needs in order to make spells work.

How the human will is harnessed depends on other levels of paradigms. It may be through using mental facilities, symbolism, rituals, and a lot of other things. 

4. Doing the spells makes spells work.

To sum up: If a spell is never performed, no results will come from this spell.

5. Asking/Praying to Deities makes the spells work.

In this paradigm, humans may or may not have any power, but the point is that in order for any of this spell to work a Deity must be asked either for permission for the spell to work or for the power to complete the spell. 

Basically, the deity is the only one who can fully accomplish the spell for one reason or another or yet another. 

6. (Old) Time makes spells work.

This paradigm is more explicitly stated: As the only working spells that exist are those which have been carried over time, why? Because if they didn’t work, then they wouldn’t be around. This paradigm basically uses time as an authority figure of what makes spells work. 

7. Going into the Astral Plane makes spells work.

This idea is that the Astral Plane is the place where the ultimate truth exists. This plane is a shadow plane of this True, Truth plane, ie a reflection or a bad copy. What happens on the Astral Plane happens on this plane through being a reflection (like a mirror, when you move your hand, your reflection moves it’s hand). 

In order to get to the Astral Plane, the Ultimate Truth place - is through Transcending this shadow plane and getting onto that Plane. How you manage this, is through layered symbolism and thought process. Ie you must think upon this symbolism and process it, and while also dealing with this symbolism you are deepening your thought processes and becoming a symbol yourself, and somewhere in here you break through the shadow realm of the physical world and transcend into the Astral plane to affect the change you want. 

8. Spirits make spells work.

This is like the Deity, this revolves around some level of asking a Spirit (whatever that is in this paradigm’s other spectrums) for some reason. Though this may or may not be due to the fact that the human cannot complete the spell itself, or the Spirit may be better equipped to handle the spell (like traveling through walls/down chimneys/invading people’s dreams/etc). 

However, unlike a Deity, the Spirit is not necessarily a Ruler over something and may actually be an aspect of some item (see Elementals) which may be why a Spirit is contacted in this kind of paradigm.

9. Doing spells the proper way makes spells work.

The idea here is that spells, if altered or done in some kind of incorrect manner, it will not work. This concept is directly related to the idea that spells are concrete recipes which can not and should not be altered or customized to fit personal perspective. 

There’s also the added, altering the spells may not only make it not work - but could cause problems due to the alterations. Ie a punishment for altering a spell. 

Some of this may actually be related to a long standing mystery tradition or religious association [ie a Deity has handed down these instructions and it is important to keep them true].

10. Being in the Spirit World makes spells work.
