As many of you know I have been studying Alchemy. .... And as I
explore this more and more, I see that Alchemy also explains things
about energy. It especially explains about the energy of prayer (or
the human mind and its ability to effect the material world) from a
more `scientific' view.

Doug:

In my view, magic is projection, simply, perhaps over-simply, magic  
is imagination made real. Yes it requires a certain form and ritual.  
But this is what the Patronus is. A state of Body/Mind manifest as  
corporeal. In a sense , this is a technique also for Muggles to ward  
off depression - throw up a facade of happiness. It is about the  
ability of the human mind to affect the real world. Muggles do it in  
a psychosomatic/psychological way. Wizards do it 'for real'.
