Magic Forums

I've read several posts on this site with people (genrally new members/uneducated posters) in regards to "casting spells" to help them with a certain psychological issue. To which more active and educated members respond saying things like "magick can't help you with everything" or "you're better off seeing a psychologist". I think this communicates a very misleading message about what "magick" is and the potency of ones own inner power.
Of course simple spells won't do much for a begginer suffering from any psychological condition in any walk of magick, but if you have a decent and healthy understanding of your practice, whatever it may be in regards to spirituality, you WILL have a decent grasp on your psychology. The two go hand and hand and the deeper you look into it the more evident it becomes. Occult practicioners and Wiccans alike understand the nature of dieties and their place in ones psyche and as such understand the true nature of the psyche itself. At least a deeper understanding than most individuals even perhaps, I dare say, some modern psychologists.
