The Magick of this Blog - Always Seek More Knowledge

SEEK TO UNDERSTAND

As a witch with my own personal beliefs, I reflect those such beliefs on this blog; no one has to like my understanding of the beliefs taught to me, but no one should get upset, instead, seek to understand. The goal of a witch is to understand, to always seek knowledge.

This blog does not specifically stick to the ways of only white magick, nor does this blog entirely encase itself in black magick either. Instead, it practices the ways of magick of all colors! I personally believe that a witch must have an idea and understanding of each type of magick that is in this natural world so that they can decide more fully which magick is best suited for themselves and not discriminate against any other color of magick. Like a past post that I wrote several years ago, black magick is not entirely bad just as white magick is not entirely good.

“To me, a witch is a woman that is capable of letting her intuition take hold of her actions, that communes with her environment, that isn't afraid of facing challenges.”

Not only does a witch need to seek to understand the different colors of magick, but they need to learn how and when to hex just as much as how and when to heal. Hexing can be a positive thing in certain situations; you can bind a person who is bothering you, push for someone to leave your friends alone, hex the person that physically or sexually assault you, the person that is bullying you can get a piece of their own medicine, etc. Yes, karma does play a huge role in the Universe - do unto others bit, and what goes around comes around - but sometimes karma needs a little push or just some help, maybe she needs to know that this person does need some medicine or they really do need some punishment.

Now, I don't advocate that you go around hexing people you feel deserve punishment or has been slightly unfair, not at all. Hexing must be done with the understanding that it is in a just way, that it is truly deserved, and your Gods or spirit guide(s) must agree too. They will understand that whatever was done to you was possibly because it was a lesson that you needed to learn and so the person probably doesn't deserve retribution, other times what a person did to you - e.g., rape, stole your life savings, advocates for hate, etc. - truly deserves punishment and torment, hell on earth.

A witch holds the power of the Universe, is made with star dust and natural magick,, they have the power to influence the weather and speak to the dead, the power to find true inner peace, and so much more! There is no limit to a witch's power except when they doubt themselves! We can speak and commune with Gods and spirits, we find power in the natural Earth as well as the stars and planets out in the Universe. We can do and be anything we want!

So go out there, sisters and brothers! Accept your powers! Embrace your feminism! Embrace your masculinity! Teach yourself and research as much as you can possibly get your hands on! Then, go help others! Help them to understand, to embrace themselves - even when others won't.

White Magic vs. Black Magic

Good morning my fellow Pagans/Neo-Pagans/Visitors!!! Right now I am in this wonderful Cafe on Main Street and it's just an excellent place, because I have just been served bagels and milk! I know that's not why all of you decided to read this post, but I just wanted to share that really cool fact. Anyway, I bet all of you, especially you, are here because of this post's title. Yes, there is such thing as good magic and bad magic, it's just the way you use magic that makes it what it is. So, before I get into some spells that help to explain white magic and black magic, let's explain the two contrasts.

White Magic

What is white magic and what makes it white? At the heart all magic is the same and has no color, however, it is common today to believe that different types of magic has different color.
Different colors in magic have been made common place due to their use in movies, television and video games. Typically colors like red or pink are love magic, green is for money and wealth, black is evil and white is good.
When people talk about white magic, then generally refer to healing and helping magic spells. Keeping your spellbook color-coded, red for love spells, green for money, black for death and white for healing is fairly common but not required. An important thing to remember is that all magic is magic, and there really is no such thing as evil magic or good magic.

What is White Magic?

Today, most people consider healing and health spells to be white magic. It is not any more or less difficult than black magic, and even white magic spells can have consequences.
The following spells are generally accepted as white magic spells:

• Enchanting Spells
• Friendship Spells
• Truth Spells
• Cure Spells
• Diet Spells
• Healing Spells
• Health Spells
• Defense Spells
• Dream Spells
• Peace Spells
• Protection Spells
• Warding Off Spells
• Baby Spells
• Fertility Spells
• Growing Spells

Black Magic

You may ask, what is black magic? There are many debates as to what exactly is black magic and how it is different than white magic, or any other color magic you may have heard of.In the simpliest terms, all magic is the same and really had no color, but the media, movies, television and video games has made color magic very popular. In the media, black magic is portrayed as evil, white as good. Red is often seen as love magic, green as money or wealth.
Such a division of magic into colors is useful, you can color-code your own spell code, writing love spells on red or pink paper and make them easy to find, but in reality this division of color does not really exist, the 'magic' is the same for all these spells and rituals.

So what is Black Magic then?

Real practitioners consider spells which fight against, or try to manipulate free will as black magic. Because these spells try to influence the normal life of others they can become pretty dangerous if they backfire. Free will is considered by some as the strongest force in nature so care should definately be taken when dealing in the dark arts.
The line between what can be considered back magic is fuzzy though. Love spells are rarely seen as black magic, but if the spell makes someone leave their spouce and travel across the country to be with you you are definatly messing with free will. However, a simple crush spell to get a date doesn't really mess with their free will.
No matter how you decide to define black magic, the following are generally considered as black magic spells:

• Death Spells
• Hurt Spells
• Resurrection Spells
• Banishing Spells
• Binding Spells
• Conjuring Spells
• Energy Spells
• Nightmare Spells
• Power Spells
• Revenge Spells
• Bad Luck Spells
• Misfortune Spells

On the next post, we'll get more into colors and what they mean, especially when you use candles! Blessed be!
