What is Magic and Why do I do it?

Rule of Three / Threefold-Law
Someone recently spoke to me of the “rule of three” by which they meant the threefold law. I was irritated by their acceptance of something they have been told as fact. If I was to just accept the tenets of faith I was told then I would still be attending my parents’ church and trying…
