For a while i wanted to write this thread but have not had the willpower to bother sometimes but it has come to my attention that something like this needs to be wrote.




[b]Impressions of magick[/b]


For some of you older folks in the community and even young ones can agree with me that lately the interests in magick with young folks are highly engrossed in either transformations into something that just can't be done. Or the summoning of demons and work of cursing. Put aside all religious beliefs, i want to forth a discussion as unbiased as possible to deal with the real issue at hand.


My concern is that allot of younger folks especially into magick are receiving falsified views or getting an impression that may not be intended. Apparently magick is now a rebellious tool, something for the miscreants of society, well that's how some people are projecting it to be.

Beside the mental enslavement of religion itself against anything concerning energy work, we as magickal practitioners in general are not doing much to revert it. Some people have the idea it is "better" this way and they should stay ignorant to magick completely, but i counter is is really better? ignorance? Look at what it has caused, thousands of people died during the witch trials, not that many of them were actual practitioners but the mere fact that ignorance was a main factor in this indicates that this way of thinking is not "better" in any way.


[b]Youth and magick[/b]


Young people follow magick for many reasons, few lately i can honestly say follow it for the right reasons. Not only young people but many misguided people in the community.


what are the right reasons?


well there is no fixed list to be honest, but if you came to magick to :

harm your ex-girlfriend from dumping you

test it out to see if it works

To gain some kind of "ultimate power" and domination

control others around you

Befriend demons and other entities

and all other negative things you can think of then forget your desire to even cast a spell.

The universe has laws within it just like our world and countries have laws in which we follow. Laws are here to maintain order and stability, not all laws may be effective as they should but universal laws are always effective even if you don't understand how.

well i will rest here canceling my other thoughts allowing your comments to develop the rest of it
