This topic was created for enthusiasts to discuss. We constantly hear about black magic and white magic, but is this really a proper distinction? Ultimately, we decide the nature of magic, and its effects depend on our intentions. What are your opinions on the subject?
In my opinion, there is only one magic that can be used for a variety of purposes.... That is, magic can be used for positive actions, such as helping others, or for negative ones. This is my opinion, and what is your opinion?
This is not so much about assigning terms as it is about drawing attention to the heart of the matter. I believe that taking lives to gain power is wrong. Just think of the number of sacrifices made by the Aztecs....
In my opinion, you can't always justify the means by pursuing the ends.
It's also a matter of defining what black magic is. Practices such as voodoo or the cruel behavior of young Satanists toward animals are still only less serious examples of black magic.
@argos The Aztecs had violent rituals, but Voodoo is not black magic. It is simply the use of beings from other dimensions.
Magic is a tool. Even meditation is a kind of magic. We decide for ourselves how we use it.
@pajeczyna Magic is more than a tool. If you kill in a ritual, it is a crime, even if you want to help someone else.
@shaman I agree, but rituals can be modified. The same spell can be used to kill or heal.
What do you think demons actually are? There are many beings that affect our world, not all of them are evil. What about "skylights"? They are angelic beings, but they sow confusion.
@herga I don't believe in the division between demons and angels. I find it interesting that we can create beings from our thoughts - servitors.
Which magic is better - black or white? Is there magic that can help someone stop drinking?
Magic without light does not exist. Gray magic is just a temporary state.
@faddi Light is essential to life. Objectivity is a reality independent of us.
Is there magic that can help someone stop drinking?
Magic can help in the fight against alcoholism, but only as a support for therapy.
White magic and black magic are just names. What matters is how you use magic. You can cure or harm, regardless of the label. As for alcoholism, magic can help, but only if the person himself wants to fight it. Empowering rituals, aura cleansing, but this is only in addition to therapy.
@arkania Maybe, you know very important is the emotional shock, here it's a matter of intention to make someone realize how much they can lose just by the ritual, because the curse of death from alcohol something a'la implant is a mistake and will reflect badly on the principal, this made me aware of my mentor and I met a person who like me reports to her and just stopped drinking. Thanks to this acquaintance I also revised a little bit my shallow thinking because I imagined alcoholics rather as marginal or half-marginal people possibly music stars, TV stars who were not able to master partying, I myself met a man from the board of directors of a large stock exchange company who created it from scratch and.... pil
It is true that magic is a tool, but where do you get the energy for rituals? Isn't it the case that black magic often preys on the lives of other beings? This scares me.
@larkis Sources of energy are different. One can draw from nature, from the cosmos, from one's own emotions. Black magic often uses dark energies, but this does not always mean harming others. It's a complex subject.
What do you think demons actually are? There are many beings that affect our world, not all of them are evil. What about "skylights"? They are angelic beings, but they sow confusion.
I also wonder what demons are. Are they just a product of our imagination or real beings? And why are there so many of these "monsters" in our world anyway?
