Magic Forums

I want to learn about magic. What precisely yet is something I'm unsure of I don't know differences or the basics. Some of the things I do know is that I'm very confused about whether or not I want to be a certain religion or just believe in a mix of different things. I do believe that magic exists, mostly because I think that a lot of things that do exist couldn't have just existed w/o magic of some sort. My parents however think its stupid and isn't real. Same with my younger brother. They think that it's ok for just messing around and Magican jokes. My friend's mom has had some sort of demon show up after using a quji board. Scared her of course. Her house also had a spirit of sorts mess w her older sister and boyfriend (sister's). I refuse to just simply mess around w magic w/o cause or purpose because some things can go horribly wrong. I would prefer to stick to things that have minimal or no negative Influences.If any1 has a book or some links for me to read pls comment it and thank you in advance for ur help.
