In the operation of magic the flow around the center is clockwise. From the Purple Specific Absence at the North, definitions are spelled at the Orange East by name and symbolism, operate by the action-by-means-of-non-action of the South Red and become apparent at the West Blue by always-has-been-so and remain as a supportative Purple Specific Absence at the North.

The magician operates in the Clear Center and defines a very general result leaving the fine details to the magic.

It has been a more or less understood concept since the 1940s that magic cannot be magical. That its substratum must be scientifically mundane. Fantasy fiction of the late 50s and early 60s carried that out by having magic be actually psionic powers which were guided and reinforced by the spells, potions etc but the spells etc were merely symbolic.

In the late 60s magic as magic made somewhat of a comeback but the opinion remains that this is an essentially non magical world.

Theosophy in its take on Chinese metaphysics takes quite the opposite view. It says that the world is entirely magical and the progress of Evolution which is - Recursion generating Relationship generating Time and Space generating Energy and Matter generating Life and Awareness generating Knowledge generating Understanding generating Paragnosis - is entirely magical and extremely stable. Thus it merely appears as non magical because it is so dependable and normal.

Faerie being topsy turvy to Mundania, what is implicit in Mundania is explicit in Faerie. So the word that transforms the mind in Mundania transforms the body in Faerie. That word can be called a "puzzle" but is made up of the consonants and vowels that represent the meanings in sequence of Recusion.
