Black Magick Side Effects

For newer users you must know that using negative, black magick can come with side effects. These side effects can range from a minor headache to becoming extremely ill. Balance is key when being a magick user and if you are going to cast you must know that the only way to balance out negative is with positive. Grounding and warding spells are a must with using black magick. Also you are not the only one who can use black magick, people can reverse these spells on you. Please, be careful with what you cast and who you cast on.
Gods bless thee.

Umm Hi! Are you really going to state this?
I'm not trying to be rude in correcting you or anything, but there's no such thing as white or black magic.
Magic is defined on how the possessor uses their magic. Now using it negatively, yeah there will come a price. But yeah...

leer0024 what she calls black magick is the act of using magick negatively,just like you said. although it is commonly believed that magick shall should have no color it is easier to call the act of using magick in a negative way :black magick. think of it like a nickname ;)
- blessed be

That's nice, but what is negative, or "black magic?" It's very subjective - one person might say that curses are negative, while someone else might think that using magic for one's own personal gain could be "black magic."

As I said before balance plays a big part into magick. If the person you cast onto is affected negativity then you are using "black magick." Yes, magick has no "colour" but is changed by what you use it for. There is always a cost to casting even if you are positively using it. It is all a mental practice but what your opinion is does not actually matter because it is up to the Gods. We obtain our ability to use magick through our Gods and Goddesses so they decide what is positive and what is negative. If you worship a God who thinks the darker arts are positive then this may not apply to you. Though if your God cannot protect you from the other Gods' and Goddesses' wrath then you will be faced with consequences. Most of these Gods, such as Loki, will not protect you so just go with the more popular opinion to stay safe.

But there are many practitioners who do not believe in deities or choose not to include them in their practice. What about them? And if one were to go with the "popular opinion," wouldn't that be the opinion that magic does not exist?

I cannot argue with you about deities, it's what you believe in, but as in popular opinion amongst these Gods is what I meant. I have no answer for those who do not have a deity.
