ok i understand white magick is good, black is bad, green is money, pink is love and all of that. But what is the difference between black, white, wicca, and pagan. i mean where did they orriganate and stuff like that? what do the different types do?
Most people don't like to order magick in colors. However, colors resemble things in magick, like white for purity, green for luck, etc. Wicca is a religion, and I'm pretty sure Paganism is a very broad term, but I'm no expert on that. Look up the information, it's quite easy. Look around on other sites, books and other means. I don't know what you're asking for, a whole study/history of each type?

I disagree on the color white being "good" and the color black being "bad". I'm not sure where you learned that, but it is inaccurate.
Wiccans are pagan. Pagans aren't all Wiccans. Black vs. White magick and any other is merely the style and belief each individual has. A spoon is still a spoon regardless of what it's made from or designed. Magick is magick, but our paths (styles and beliefs) are different.

Wicca and Paganism are relligions. As such, they originally do not include spellwork but only ritual-work. Furtermore to be efficent in relligious spiritual work, one must believe in Deities, which is not case in magick, be it white or black ( which are technical terms, only, and as such serve purpose ) , futhermore , technically speaking one does not need to believe in magick to use it at all, just that in such case results are minimal or unexpected , well usually.
it doesn't really matter your religion, just your skill level. cartain ones are easier than others as well as safer. in terms of colour, when starting out i think it's a good thing so a person cal learn the colour associated, if they were to do candle magic for instance. also, the very obvious, magic only has intent, not colour blah blah blah. i would like to point out, love i'd say is more gray and not pink, i mean it is, but you're imposing your will on another most of the time, so morally, it might not sit well with most.
