I understand not every parent is going to jump for joy when their child mentions that they want/are practicing magick.
But sometimes, kids underestimate their parents as well.
Yes, your parents may think its a joke, or a load of crap....but you don't KNOW for sure unless you speak to them about it. And when I say speak, I mean do so in an intellignt manner, not " look, I'll prove it to you...I'm going to make it rain today. Yes, I know they've been talking about rain all day on the news...but I did it, really" ( not say you personally would do that...just saying ).
I was raised in a very Catholic family, but was lucky enough to have a mother who raised me to think for myself. Granted, it backfired on her once or twice, but it was an advantage when I spoke to her about it.
Candle magick is a very basic form of magick, but because you are using fire...can be dangerous. I understand a lot of people think they are responsible to light a candle and do their thing, but from expeirence, anything can go wrong.
I was 17 and almost burned down the house in a random glass explosion while doing a spell.
If you have found another way to do spells that do not require candle and are capable of doing it, right on...but I do not condone sneaking behind your parents back. Frankly, they will find out..and when they do..it doesn't make a good case of responsibility and being able to choose your own path properly if you have to hide and lie about things to them.
Lol, I did mean visualize..it was 9 in the morning UK time, I was getting ready for college and I was still half asleep, forgive me. =)
Although when you can astral project, you can create your own astral temple, allowing you to do rituals etc, where you will not be disturbed, if you cannot do them on the physical plain.
I get where your coming from healer.
I keep hearing constantly about the astral plane, so I might just start learning about astral projection right now, since I've been meaning to learn about it for some time. That'd be awesome having your own space in the astral world! :3. As far as candles go, I probably will just start visualizing, other than that the astral plane sounds like a good idea.
Sadly, to my despair, I was stupid enough to not click my back-up tab soon enough, and my dad saw the words Magic Forums about an hour ago, when I was typing some page long message. He asked me about it, and I immediately switched to my back-up tab, and sad he must be seeing things. I said and regretted saying "Magick isn't real." and then to my immediate surprise he said it was real, and went about his business signing abra kadabras. I don't know if I said this in the first post or not, but I remember one day at my grandmother's where my ex-crack selling cousins, and their aunt stayed to get clean, and start a new life, were talking at the table. I remember one of them, Joey Bellerose, practiced magick, and showed me his spell book, and told me some of the dangers of it. He told me about bad spirits, and protection spells. This is where I one day about 3-4months ago got the idea to google magic and that's how I got here. Anyways, I remember my aunt suggesting we do a 5 person levitation ritual, we didn't do it, but they tried to coax my dad into doing it. He smiled to sad no, he didn't beleive in magick. My only hopes are that he didn't take that huge of a mental note on this, and didn't put too much thought into it, for I would prefer my parents not know about my magickal workings. I don't care if my mom knows about my psionics, but magick, I just would rather not.
Two worst case but totally possible senarios:
1. My mom would over react, and ban me from doing it, claim that I could be putting them all in danger.
2. My dad would laugh, and think that I'm just a child interested in the whole hocus pocus idea, and go on about it for a little while on how it's not real, and will never be real.
3. My parent's would think I worship satan.
So uh...bad position at the moment. I'm just hoping that when my dad get's off of work, as it is my mom's birthday, he does not remember anything about it. I may even look up the possibility of memory spells being real, tho they probably aren't and if they are they're black magick I'd assume -.-.
Magick is only dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, which is one of the reason why most people's spells on here fail, and more than often backfire on them.
They don't have enough knowledge.
In my eyes and many others, there is no such thing as black or white magick, it's energy, and energy has no colour.
Satan is actually not a bad God either.
lol hun...you of course can do what you want...but it looks as though you have been given a sign that it may not be as big of a deal you are making it to be. Prepare for the worse..anything less won't seem so bad. That's my paranoid motto
Practicing magick isn't anything to be ashamed of..even if your folks thought it was not real and still let you do it, it's one step closer ;)
Candles,while a valuable tool,are not the end of the world if you cant use them.Lots of places and people for one reason or another cant/dont use them.
Astral projection is a little advanced for you I feel at this point,just going by what youve said about your self.
In your case I would recomend good meditation to prepare,and visualization to focus your energy.
You can still have good results without candles.
Good point. I tried astral projection last night and failed miserably. Maybe because it's just too hard for me to imagine actually leaving my own body. A reality check of normality I suppose. I'll still keep trying tho x3. In the mean time I'll just take your advice, and meditate and visualize x3.
