Why do modern science seems to be simply explaning magical books from ancient times?
Modern science seems just the refutation or elaboration of ancient greek philosophy and medieval magical books.
In some sense modern science is just our modern version of the ancients magikal systems.
Science is just a diferent way to explore the malkut realm using natural philosophy methods, meanwhile the ancients used more philosophy and geometry to do their research.
And no, I'm not talking about anime isekai magical BS, but actual real magic and occult books like the kylbalion and greek philosophy.

We never actually know anything. All we have is models of the world which, over time, are replaced with new models of greater predictive power. Later model makers disparage old models as magical because of their greater number of seemingly-unjustified assumptions.

If you ever read a real magical book, and not some /tg/ anime shit, you realize that magic is always a mental phenomena.
Demons and archons are real, but they're beings of the mental realm.
