"Like psychology, but many witches think "psychology" is a bad word, or that it means "having a psychological problem". The practice of headology relies on the principle that what people believe is what is real. This is used by witches to earn respect or at least fear, and also to cure patients. For an exemplary combinatorial use of headology, herbal medicine, and physical therapy, see old Jarge Weaver's visit to Granny Weatherwax in Maskerade.
The power of Headology is not to be underestimated. Clearly, the way a person sees himself and the surrounding world forms the person's reality. If this view is changed effectively through the use of Headology then this person's reality changes. This allows witches to make people think they are frogs, for example. Witches generally think that Headology is a more powerful style of magic than any of the fancy stuff wizards use. Headology is what witching is all about. A witch needs a very powerful, focused, and trained mind to use Headology. Granny Weatherwax is the foremost practitioner of Headology on Discworld.
Headology can take advantage of a voodoo witch's belief that anything done to a doll is also done to the person that doll represents, and turn it back on the person holding the doll (so as to stick pins in it) in some surprising but logical ways. It can leave a family of vampires, who have just ill-advisedly dined on Granny's blood, incapacitated and craving nothing more than a very strong cup of tea with six sugars in it: Granny may have been vampired, but the vampires discover that they have also been well and truly Weatherwaxed."

too much animu

>..for you.

I've never heard of headology, but from your description, it is the only magic that is real. Magic is based on science, and it's all about reality being constructed on observation. Get a bunch of people doing something with a certain intention and full belief of an outcome, and they split the universe and enter the one where the outcome is achieved. Same method as praying. All magic is is concentrated multiverse manipulation through belief manipulation, as reality is formed through observation.

That being said, if you have this level of understanding of magic, be careful what you do because you risk breaking your reality to the point of ending up in a universe of NPCs. And then you're fucked.

Why do you believe there is a need for different universes and for splits to occur when something changes?

Why not simplify that into believing that the present has the ability to influence the future?

The whole point of "breaking your reality" and a universe of NPCs sounds very stupid tbqh

If that's it, then that's probably very close to what happens.

>>18876687
So how would one go about applying Headology? Just do random ritualistic stuff but firmly believe it will work?

you have a severely misinformed understanding of quantum physics
