I know, I am new here, only a few days to this site, and I am already trying to talk myself out of shutting down my profile. When I joined I was prepared to give the site a full moon cycle. Why not, I might learn something here, right? But I am so disappointed with the stuff that seems to be the norm.
I talk about self defeating talk, this is a world of infinite possibilities, magic or magick if you'd rather is all about tapping into those possibilities. I will tell you that without a doubt that all things are possible. Their is no limit to magick, the only limit is what you yourself place upon it.
I have heard that you can not alter DNA, but I will ask anyone with healing experience if Type 1 diabetes can be healed with magick, or cognitive heart failure, or cancer? The answer is yes, but all of these are DNA flaws.
Time is not a constant, physics has proven that time and time again . I have seen rituals where time has "slipped" or that weird things happen to clocks and time perception. Is time travel possible? I do not know, but I am not going to tell an eager beginner that no it's not.
Mystical creatures, even if you have never met a vampire, werewolf or unicorn does not mean that they do not exist, just that you have never met one. So to say emphatically that they are not real is just killing spirits.
In my 30 + years of practice I have seen many things that people would say are "impossible" that what has happened to me was some kind of hallucination or odd coincidence. A magic forum is not the place for those kind of statements.
And to the beginners out there, I will tell you that magic is real, if you can dream it it can be done. Maybe not today, maybe not 20 years from now, but don't let that stop you from learning.
But there's a second half to that coin (you will always find that their is) just grabbing any old spell and going someplace quiet and lighting a candle and chanting something does not guarantee results. This is not a shortcut to super power, great power comes from great work as the ancient magicians called this. And it will take work, it will take a good look at yourself, your motivations, your beliefs and your expectations. don't let the nay-sayers say something is impossible just because they are unable to do it. Spend some time, find out for yourself, and become.
Blessed be
