I am getting quite tired of some calling us -the serious practitioners- close-minded. When we tell you that a vampire spell or a werewolf spell or a mermaid spell does not work, that gives you the right to say we are close-minded? All of us say that because it is the truth, and truth can be hard for some.
And some of you say we are rude. When we say 'a spell doesn't work', that is rude? When we say 'a vampire spell doesnt work', we are all suddenly cruel and heartless people with no morals? No, I highly doubt that. Being rude and telling the truth are two different concepts and I suggest looking at your dictionary.
Countless times after times the reason we say these spells do not work is because magick cannot change your DNA. Magick is not going to magickally poof a gene into your DNA so you can become a mermaid, vampire or werewolf or anything else you want to become. Magick does not work that way and never did. Magick obeys the laws of nature.
Scientifically, DNA can be changed through the process of a mutation. Mutations from what I have studied and learned has only happened in a habitat where there is a significant amount of pollution, like radiation. These pollutants contain chemicals that when put into the body, can change it drastically. Radiation is one pollutant I especially know of.
Even with that put into play, I do not know how you are going to become a mermaid, vampire or werewolf.
Another reason for this is...do we even know how their DNA looks? How do we even know what DNA a mermaid has? Have we ever seen it? I doubt it. How are you going to become something whom the DNA is not even known?
Lastly, a mermaid, vampire and werewolf are mythological creatures. We do not know if they existed or not? If they did, then great. They were smart enough not to leave their DNA behind for modern society.
And...you've the nerve to call us close-minded...when we use actual evidence to prove this. This is not going to be some war. I am just simply stating the obvious.
No, this is not an enlightenment because most won't even agree with me.
