i believe that there is only magick,now if you know how to use it 'wicca wise'
it may be good and if you just using it to hurt ppl or just as an easy way how to get things its bad cos you arent calling upon natures help.....plus nature can go in both ways.....it always balances things out with its own ways
Yes there is black and white magic. Basically it's 'good' and 'bad'. I'm too sleep deprived to go any deeper than this right now.
As you said, magick is magick-- it's how you use it that matters.
You can have it for dark purposes or light, but it is the effects themselves that are good or bad.
Remember, there are those who practice dark magick-- as I do- that -only- pertains to the night time, and light magick meaning during the daylight hours.
In the end, it's all personal preference.
Yes it is inevitable everthing in nature has an opposite force to each other and so does magick you can use plants to heal ppl or you can use different plants to kill ppl.They both grow and can be used to heal or destroy but maybe its how ppl use the magic which kmakes it goo or bad so maybe there is no dark/light magic only how we use.
I believe there is magic, but like you all said, its how you use it. kinda like the force on Star Wars! :)
I agree. There is not separate realm for White or Black... Its is both because nature is both. There is nothing you can do about it. Now if one deliberatly seeks out the darker side (meaning being a general asshole and making people croak, not practicing in the night time hours *wink nara*) I refer to that as "Cranial-Rectal Inversion" Magick...
If you're practicing magick, you know the Law of Three.. wtf would someone want something like that comming back?
Idiot people, ANYWHO...
It is *my* belief that people who chose the path simply practice magick... it is their soul and intent with the working of the spells that determines "white" or "black"...
~K~
I agree with Nara about the whole magick just being plain and simply magick, it just depends on how and what you use it for that differentiates it from being classified as either good or bad. Most people like to have clearly drawn lines that separate one thing from another, like obviously the whole evil and good and dark and light concept. They don't want to believe that they are really one and the same, well for the most part anyway.
magic does exist in any form...
it's just an unexplicated way of using science!
Khayman, you said it better than I possibly could have and I think you are dead on target. Most should remember this particular saying when "playing" with something they can't contol...."Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!"
Thank you, Bev.
And yes... flood gates are hard to close.
"If you play with fire youre gonna get burned" basically
'course it does! I've seen it been used!
(even though i was almost killed...but...)
I've been pocessed by a good friend's mother shortly after she died... I htink she was tryig to took me up with him at one point, it was so strong.
Basic knowledge would tell anyone that true magick is not black or white. But the persons soul who uses the magick is black or white. Using a universal magick that resides in all to do either good or bad. All are capable of white and black magick, though it is neither white or black in all honesty.
Magick is not black or white its the soul that is good or bad. I myself offen call on the goddess and god to help me find my way or the enegry of the earth to give me strength but doing the Dark Craft is selfish
well from my expirence (cant spell for toast!) there is dark arts and white magick as well as green magic witch is earth magic. there is no technical dark and white magic, it is all in the heart of the caster.
ahh The ~K~ strikes again..could not have said it better,,,nor spelled it any better either...lmao *sped* class..
Green Magick is considered more of Druidic ancestry if I'm not mistaken. This coming from the Celt, heh, heh...
All Magick stems from The Magick, and can be broken into any compound you please, really. Again, it's entirely aperson's preferenec.
black and white are not good and evil. merely absence of colour. christians seem under the impression that white is a sense of purity but it's not. and that black is the colour chosen to represent the devil but it's not. therefore magic is not black nor white it is an absence of colour and there is no difference, merely different consequences for the actions we chose to take.
Magick is Magick.....like someone said befor...
I think its not the Magick wich is good or bar it depends in the Person wich used it...
I agree,as with anything it's how you use it that determines if it's good or bad,wrong or right,blah blah blah...you get the picture.
i like black or white magic! (until it's used to keep me from biting someone)
magic is magic it is what is in the heart that is good or evil
Agreed-- it's definately the inner workings of the person involved.
Personal feeling:
Magik is neither good or evil, black or white. It is both as nature is both
there is no light or dark magick it all depends on how the pesron uses it thats what gives people the thought that there light or dark
magis is not colored it is the same in life good and evil its a ballance in nature
Agreed - magic is neither black or white, but a colorless shade which manifests into the intent of the user. It all has to do with the material and intentions of the practiscioner. Magic is what you make out of it.
guys i agree with the most things you said,magick is not a rainbow,white,black thats bull...nature balances everything and like someone said both to help or destroy someone can be found in nature
i like your coments,i ll probibly talk to some of you in private later
according to wizards or the coast there is white black blue green and red magic
Yes Black and White Magick does exist but becareful on how you practice it.
i think that black magic of white magic is in the heart of the witch and that i fell sorry for those who have fallen into the black magic status
This was a good subject, Considering it never got deleted in 9 months
Thanks everyone
I'm with Khayman on this one. Magick is neither black nor white, because nature is neither. Just as people are neither completely good nor evil, magick cannot be totally to one extreme. It is a balance.
just like i said fireball!
-bows respectivly and
smacks her on the head with a banana
Unutot - I agree with you totally!
it is up to the person who casts, that gets the repercutions. good or bad
magick just is that and if one says they are:
black
white
gray mix of both w/b
brown animalist/shaman
Green nature based druid lower rank
Red nature based druid middle rank
Blue nature based druid high rank
Gold to the God
Silver to the Goddess
Purple for the Sexually Frustrated
Oops sorrie about that my mind wandered there fer a bit..hee hee!
>:D
it's ok SaphyrEyes
just shows that you got knowledge
And that's what I said too
*Give non a big hug for understanding, then giggles as she runs off again
ok normally i jump on thease topics...but somehow this one missed my mental radar.....though I have hit the topic often in other threads...magic simply is......it is a force of nature...like all others....is a storm evil because it destroys?no...it simply is.....
magic however has the added stigma of being controlled to the ends of others......
but again..it is not the magic being dark or light.....I won't say black or white as I agree with my lady on the colour thing..
but it is the user who sets it to a dark or light purpose.....and sometimes magic set to a good purpose without being well thought through can cause bad thinkgs to occur....cause and effect.....
so think hard on the reasons for it's use....
can the effect you want be caused without resorting to magic?....
even demonolatry is not inherently evil...it is simply th power to summon.....the act of summoning is still with the magus who is using the power.... not the power itself....
It depends on how it's used. Then people lable it. ^.^ Kind of an iffy question.
Daermon
you didn't see this because I started it last November & got kinda lost
Impressive it's still open huh!
Most people have already stated this before, so I am only agreeing with them or maybe even adding to what they have already said--although I doubt that.
Anyway, it is in my experience that there is no such thing as "white" or "black" magick--only magick. What "form" it takes is entirely up to the whim of the user/practitioner.
There, I think I've beaten to death what everyone else has stated.
yes. and also no. it's pretty much stated allready, but here's my two cents.
there is a difference between black and white magick for the people who perceive there to be a difference. and for the people who dont perceive a difference, then there isnt one...i personally dont see a difference...at least in my current paradigm.
-in chaos
Kiros said it best, and I completely agree with him......
So I won't repeat anything that was already said.
Blessed be!
merry meet!
you do "wicca",this type of white magic?
have you done any black magic?
good qustion assuming that wiccan majic is the only kind. for there to be light there also must be darkness.
Enjoying your point of views
*Remembering on the days when Istill followed 'Nocturnal Wicca'
Hey. I'm Ditz's friend.
But I forgot her new username. XD
Okay. I myself think if there is magic, there's only one kind. And having magic is a curse or blessing. And that if you couldn't do anything about your powers, it'd be a very bad term as to why you have it. Aren't I strange? XD Oh well. Have my opinions.
i practice in both light and dark majik and it depends on the spell because there is a long list of spells that can never be used for any good, but rember what ever you send out will always come back 3 times over ~X~
I started this thread in November so it's getting rather boring now
here's a new question!
Do your Beliefs & feelings Contrast eachother????????
(ex..... ''wiccan'' wanted to feed on someone who's unwilling)
Oosh. Wanna hear something weird?
I am a bit of an Anarchist. Yet I want to be a lawyer. Complete opposites, yet I think them both. XD
Well first of all there is dark witchcraft but that doesn't mean it's evil, it's people's narrow mindness that thinks it is,cause whenever someone hears the word dark, always has to believe it's evil -_-.
As for white and black,well there are bad spells which are labelled as black magic cause they are evil,and good spells which are labelled as white.
However magic can be also labelled as grey cause a good spell can turn to a bad one.
Well I think that instead of saying black and white and whatever colour, I would say a spell meant for good or a spell meant for bad,cause if magic had a colour than it would be rainbow! -_-
It is your choice how to use magic,you make bad magic or you make good magic,however never think that magic can solve problems cause it turns against you, am talking from expirience!
there isnt an exact 'black and white' magick. black is used to describe more violent ways of magick such as using animals sacarifices, summoning demons or anything basically that causes harm to others. white is used to describe more practices using light itself like candles, starlight, moonlight and other shit like that. theres also green magick but since u didnt ask for it i wont mention it.
To make my point clearer,I used to practice nocturnal witchcraft and tried necromancy too, but don't think,cause you heard the word 'nocturnal' that meant I summoned evil spirits worshipped demons etc...,cause believe me I harmed no one-_-
As to answer the question,it happenes to me all the time.I know that some things are bad and still do them,I know I am good inside but still feel hate,revenge etc...
magic should be use for good. white magic is better and i do believe in it.
black one is true to. but still i believe that person should not use it.
i dont do magic but i do believe in it and i think its totally cool
deathnitegrl having those feelings doesn't make you an ''evil or ''good'' person
And I do Apprecaite your post
About ''wiccan'' wanted to feed on someone who's unwilling...
We're all human (or are we 0_0)...we've all got human traits. It is human to want to do something, even if it goes against what you believe in, we all make mistakes, and I think if a wiccan was to feed on someone unwilling...it would make them no less wiccan?? I don't know, I'm confusing myself. It's like with christians and sinning...though I think christians are hypocrites...
*walks away confused*
I think there's a difference between a genuine mistake and one which is done one purpose...Knocking over a cup accidently is understandable,but spiking someone's drink goes against the ''three fold law''
I think there's a difference between a genuine mistake and one which is done one purpose...Knocking over a cup accidently is understandable,but spiking someone's drink goes against the ''threefold law''
Yah...but can something done on purpose be a mistake? We've all done things, on purpose, that we regret, and may have gone against what we believe in...
look black and white magick do exist but black magick isnt always used for evil and white magick isnt always used for good magick is good or evil depending on how you use it
There is no such thing as thing as white and black magik.
Magik in it's truest form is actually neutral. It's the users predisposition that changes it. Both White and Black gather their power from Ghyia, and she does not diferentiate between the both, Humans do.
Lets see, what was it in my teachings.
Magic is Natural, it has neither color to begin with. Yet, depending on how it is used will depend on the nature of the spell.
White, is to help, heal, protect.
Black is to Harm, cause problems to curse.
Rule in my book, Avoid those who do black magic like the plague, why? Easy, they will just as easy use it on you as they would their enemies.
yes it does exist to ones extend of the feble mind and of cuarse they will believe it
I dont think there is a white or black magic. I think magic is how and or what you make or it and use it.
I bieleve there is only one magic how you use is it, is whatever.
also i belive it depend on the ppls alingment to g/n/e and ones heart if u have one
i believe in white magic....n a lil bit black magic ..........btu mostly white......cuz i do white magic
from where i stand, humanity is expressed as imperfect and magick is actually perfect. its expected that humans cant controll or rightly use magick. magick is that untouchable force of perfection. *sigh* wish i could go there.
there is no black and white... you always do something for 2 reasons... and opne of those reasons is bad and the other is good... you just might not know the other reason,,,
there is no black and white... you always do something for 2 reasons... and opne of those reasons is bad and the other is good... you just might not know the other reason,,, SO DEAL WITH IT.....
as written: (somewhere I forgot where)
" a butter knife could be used to spread butter or commit a murder "
magic is magic; the deed is manifested from the Will & Imagination of the magician. Magic is a means or tool to do WHATEVAAAAAA
i am not sure but where there is good there seems to be bad, just how the worl goes, without right there can be no wrong, and there is surely someone to find that wrong
Hm......I think there are good spells and bad spells...I 'm not sure if that defines it as white magick and black magick. So, I am undecided as to whether it really is neutral, because I agree you have to have wrong and right, not just one... Neutral can be so complicated....
Grr i am in a wiccan coven and I believe and i feel as if i know that their is black and white magick and their is a third grey..
I THINK THAT ALL MAGIC IS REALL CAUSE IF U USE IT THE RIGHT WAY IT WILL HELP U IN LIFE IF U KNOW WHAT THE HELL U ARE DOING. BUT IF U ARE JUST FUCKING AROUND WITH IT AND HAVE NO CLUE WHAT U ARE GETTING URSELF INTO IT IS GOING TO TURN AROUND A KICK U IN THE ASS SOONER OR LATER AND IT WILL FUCK UR LIFE UP. BELIEVE ME I USED TO BE IN WITCH CRAFT AND THEN I DID SOME STUPID SHIT AND IT KICKED ME IN THE ASS SO IF U ARE MESSING WITH MAGIC BE SURE U KNOW WHAT U ARE DOING CAUSE ALOT OF THE SHIT THAT I HAVE DONE IN MY YOUNGER DAYS I REGRET
yes, there are both black and white magick. those who do good(white) and then theres those who do evil(black). its all apart of the balance, aka yin and yang.
there can be no good without evil but no evil without good.
I agree w/ everyone majick is what you believe in,, I am neither white or black majick,, I am grey..
I believe there is no such thing as "black" or "white" magick, it is how you use magick, and how ppl view them as you use them, that determines it as either evil or good. Magick can be used for both good and evil and have different effects.
I believe it all comes from the same source, and thats not good or evil, white or black. It solely depends on how you use it.
It just depends hopw you use it! I agree with most of you on this subject who said there's no such thing
Black & white are just there to show the difference, like light & dark are both part of Humanity & Nature thus the question is:
If there is such a thing as 'good' & 'evil'.....Who defines what's 'good' and what's not!?
i agree with non...he is wise...just lik my sister..lol not (on my sister)
I belive that it is only one madgic and then it up to you if you should juse it "withe" or "black".
i personaly belive magick is neaither good nor evil. it is just power nothing more. i doesnt choses a side. is lighting evil becouse it kills a child or sets fire to crops. no. there are many storys about the ever going war between good and evil. these arnt true thought the war in inside of man on ly the users can choses who will win. the white, the dark or the gray
i believe eveything has an opposite, ei: good and bad, black and white magick
there is no such thing as good or bad magic. as me and a friend discussed in high school white magic seem to be use more as a defensive technique and black magic as an offensive. its all on how you use it i'd say although i am not a practicioner of anything. but you heal someone who hurt people you just used white magic for bad. you vanquish and enemy using a spell or potion that kills that may be seen as good. as usual its all in the way others percieve it.
It can't be explained better then that CorazonMuerto...good one
One of my favourite things about you Mortus, is that you realy think about you threads.
Magick is pointless unless you have the will for it, as its your will that gives you the power to see things through. If your will is to cause suffering, or upset balances, ten it is your will, put others may have motves stronger than yours to rectify what your doing.
