ODYLIC FORCES Meaning and
Definition
-
Odylic forces, also known as odic forces or odic energy, refer to a concept popularized by Baron Carl von Reichenbach, a German scientist, in the 19th century. The term "odylic" is derived from the Greek word "od," meaning "aura" or "vital force."
Odylic forces are believed to be a type of subtle energy or power that exists in all living beings and objects. According to Reichenbach, it is a form of energy that can be perceived or sensed by certain individuals, known as "sensitives" or "sensitives to od." These individuals possess heightened sensitivity to the presence and effects of odylic energy.
It is believed that odylic forces are responsible for various phenomena such as magnetism, electricity, and heat generation. Reichenbach claimed that odylic energy could be emitted, absorbed, and influenced by different substances. He also described the existence of odylic fields surrounding living organisms, which could interact with other substances and individuals.
The effects attributed to odylic forces include sensations of heat, cold, tingling, and even light. Reichenbach described these effects as emanating from substances that emitted odylic energy.
However, despite its popularity during the 19th century, the concept of odylic forces has not gained widespread acceptance in scientific communities. It is largely considered to be of pseudoscientific nature, lacking empirical evidence and not fitting into established scientific theories.

Etymology of ODYLIC FORCES
The term "odylic forces" does not have a well-established etymology as it appears to be a relatively rare term that is not widely used or recognized in modern English. However, it seems to have originated from the field of the occult and spiritualism in the 19th century.
The word "odylic" is derived from "od" (also known as "odic force" or "odyle"), which was a hypothetical life force or vital energy proposed by the German physician and hypnotist Franz Anton Mesmer in the 18th century. Mesmer believed that this force permeated everything and could be harnessed for healing purposes.
The addition of the suffix "-ic" to "od" creates the adjective "odylic", which suggests a relation or association with Mesmer's concept of odic force.
