Post subject: what do you think it is?
|
 |
|
Magic is at least as best as i would see it mind over matter....if you believe in something then it can be possible....someone may be able to do something amazing but they probubly believe where as someone else a skeptic would not be able to do it.....
But here is my thing....what do you think is possible? do you think that magic is something as simple as making the cute guy across the room notice you because you wanted him to? or is magic being able to freeze time and blow things up with your hands? is it spells and chants?
There are numerous web sites claiming to have spells and the like on them....but a true spell should come from the person casting no one else....it should be based on what the desired result is and the learning of different candles and plants are essential for the ability to utlilize these abilities....
Is magic the person or the act? is magic the desired result or the result itself?
I'm all over tonight guys i'm sorry i can't seem to hold a straight thought in my own head :hmm:

| I'm not gullible, but I try not to discount anything that I am not familiar wtih. I do practice Wicca, but not to zap my husband if he forgets to put the toilet seat down. If something like that is possible I think humans would have to really evolve spiritually and have more peace in the world. I don't think it is possible now, but please, if you can do something like that, please prove me wrong. I'd love to see. |

I have done a number of things with magic. I find it isn't hard to change people's behavior. My brother is easy to zap. I know one time my Mother and I need him to call, but I knew he was at work so I couldn't call him. I sat down at my computer to email him. As I sat there I kept saying over and over call me. Five minutes later he called saying he didn't know why he was calling but he felt like he needed to call. I told him I did a little spell to get him to call. He got upset and told me witch craft was bull. So I said then why did you call. He couldn't answer that.
I had a neighbor that was total jerk to the point I felt theatened. One night I went out and cast a circle in my back yard. I ask the Goddess for protection and to make this person stay away from me. The next day he tells me he doesn't know why but he is moving to Oregon. I was so happy I drove him to the bus station three days later.
When people say to me after I have done a spell "I don't know why I am doing this..." I know my spell has worked.
But you can't get people to do things they really don't want to do. If you cast a love spell it might work for a while, but if is not true love it won't last. You have to be careful you can set yourself a lot of grief.
Ya Nova you could zap the hubby to make him put down the seat, but as soon as he finds out you did a spell on him the spell is null and void. My wife used *itchcraft to get me to put down the seat. lol  |

I hope you know I was kidding about the toliet seat. lol
It is funny to read your post about your brother calling you. I do the same thing. I was doing it before I learn about Wicca. That is one of the reasons why I became so intrested in learning about it, I feel like it somes natural, like I have been practicing it all my life. When I was in my late teens, I would concentrate hard on getting my future husband to call or come over. It almost always worked. |

Everyone has the ability, some have to work at it more, but once you understand the princiables behind it, it becomes easier. |

| ok, but some people seem to just be able to let's say 'make things happen' where others could try for ever and never be able to do it.....do you not think that some people are more apt at being able to do things? |

I think that as with everything there are people who naturally have the ability, some more than others.

BaccaBerri,
I don't think I did a very good job of explaining what Magic is. It is first and for most disciplines like Marshall Arts, Judo for the mind if you like. It takes practice, study and dedication. That is why covens just don't take anyone in them. You have to show you are willing to commit to a line of study, otherwise you are wasting yours and the teacher’s time.
Some of you have expressed interest in learning magic. PM me the reason why you want to learn and what you expect to get out of it. |

Darkwind, I wasn't asking what magic is really....I was asking an opinion about a person's natural ability to harness what is around them and in someway alter what happens....
I am going to be the first one to tell you that making something happen takes work and practice, unfortunatly for me life has taken a bit of a toll on me in the last few years and what i used to be able to do i have lost or forgotten or over looked.....
but I have never 'studied' as you say it's just something that seems to have been passed from one generation to the next....stories of my grandfather and my father and now not only myself and my sisters but also our children and a just uncanny ability to know things or alter things just with a thought or a sentence.....
For me it's not a question about what is possible or what is out there what is around me anymore i have enough personal experience with it to know.....but i also believe that if i find a way to teach myself how to harrness what is naturally there then perhaps the inner peace i used to have so easily would come back instead of fighting myself over the seeming loss of something i always took for granted |

Post subject: Magick..
|
|
|
Magick comes from the energy within the soul. It's composed of concentration and belief. There are all forms of magick, from passing a simple emotion on to another, to a visual spectacle, rare to common eyes. It's all around us, and inside us. It's what makes anything possible yet it never works quite right when the doubt kicks in. Doubt breaks the concentration, the belief, which explains why most cannot use magick in ways many hope to use it in. But we all have it, and we all use it from time to time.
An emotion spurring from a command from a mother, the simple wink of the eye to attract others, the gift of a warm hug. All of it is a form of magick. Of course, many view magick as a visual spectacle hoping to create fireballs or float off the ground. Only problem is, it never works unless you erase all sense of doubt, something I rarely see in an individual. But it always starts small, and if you let it grow, maybe you'll finally get your wish.

| magic is many different things, from lesser magic which like BaccaBerri said in the original post would be something like getting osmeone to notice you, up to greater magic and rituals, which would be for the big stuff. anything that you affect in your life through willpower and focuz could be considered magic |

Its something that comes from the soul yes..But it's also a power that you get from evil or the Earth.....I'm a born witch i didn't ask nor did i try to be this way.....I have no control over the power that was giving to me....I use to pratice black magic cause as teenager's and into my 20's i didn't understand but now that i'm a adult i have control and i have accepted what i am and how to use the power that i was born with.....
