What is Magick?

Magick is the control of situations or events by the use of energy.

There are actually quite a few discriptions of what magick is, but in the end..it's energy. Your energy, the energy of the earth, the sky, tools and everything else.

There are those who are of the belief that magick has a color. I personally ( along with many others ) believe it has no color at all. I believe that all magick is neutral, but it is the intent of the user that creates the color ( if you wish to see color at all ).

Now, sometimes, it's just easier for the human mind to see a lable and color to things. For that reason, I will describe some forms of magick and colored magick.

Now this, is completely up for discussion. We all see things differently. =)

Imaginative Magick- This would be like painting, sculpting, drawing, ect. The idea behind it is to draw symbols or descriptive pictures with the theory that if you can see it, you can have it happen. It would be more like an aid in spell casting.

Contagious Magick- using personal objects to aid in spell casting such as a picture, hair, nails, clothing, ect.

Image Magick- using dolls, sculptures or any other object of likeness of a person for spells. This can be used for healing, voodoo, ect.

Those types of magick above are what I would consider "aids" to spell casting. On to the fun stuff ;)

White Magick- Is what could be considered "good" magick. It's done to help others with their permission to help them or even heal them.

Grey Magick- A more typical form of magick. It would be used for personal reasons. It remains grey so long as no one is harmed, and permission is used by all those involved.

Black Magick- This is what is considered " bad" or "evil". Anything that involved harms, the breaking of someones will or permission can be considered black magick. It's mostly seen for curses and hex's.

Red Magick- This is love magick. There are varying degrees of love magick from a simple come to me spell to a break up a couple spell to attract a lover spells. The end result is to create feelings of love or lust in people or in general to bring love to you.

Green Magick- Typically magick used for money or luck.

Those are all the colors I am AWARE of. On to the next set!

Nature Spirit Magick - Working with the spirits of nature. It is believed that every natural thing on earth has a spirit or soul attached to it, thus you can communicate with and ask for aid while performing spells.

Candle Magick- The use of candles in ritual or spell casting. This is probably the easiest and most used form of magick.

Color Magick- The use of colors as representation in magick. This is more of an aid. Using the proper color string or candle, ect.

Elemtental Magick- The use of and control of the elements.

Weather Magick- Learning to control the weather for your own ...reasons basically ( I personally think it relates to elemental magick, but others disagree lol ).

Herb Magick- the use of herbs for healing and spell casting enhancement.

Necromancy- Working with the spirits of the dead such as summoning them and controling them.

Angel Magick- working with angels, meeting your guardian angel, ect.

Chaos Magick- Honestly, its simple and complex. It is the ability to alter your surroundings and perceptions on reality.


Healing Magick- The use of magick to heal others or yourself.







This is by NO means the complete list.
Everything written is up for discussion...and as you can tell as I went on with the list, I got a bit tired, so the descriptions got a little less........detailed lol

one more is divination magick which is the ability to use tools or abilities to see future events. The most common of which are premonitions and dejavu.

also i am partially against red magick personally because i think bending ones will is completely heartless, but if there are some situations where it is good (such as helping a person date in order to heal) but for the most part its just because someone wants another person and because they cant have them, they force them... to me its like forcefully making someone your lover... although i do give love spells out occasionally, i dont do it often because i find it a complete bending of ones will which isnt fair at all or even good(its a bad word to describe i just cant think of a better one).

Thats one of the things we want to touch on here.
When does it become ,taking away free will.
There are areas where you can help somone,and a love spell is totally in order.
There are other times when there is no difference in a love spell ,and what people call black magick.
Those are the type things you ill learn through meditation,and visualization,to clearly judge for yourself.Im not saying one is right or one is wrong,you just have to see thigs as they are.
Id like to hear more of your thoughts on hisuject

I don't think I would ever be able to list all the types of magick lol and some I am just not familiar with. Though Divination did simply slip my mind.

I honestly have never heard of Raven magick...if you have some info please share =)


I'm not a fan of red magick either. I'm one of those people who say that not every problem in life needs a magickal solution. Unfortunatly, love spells are a high demand. Usually because people would rather have a quick fix to their problems and heartache rather than dealing with them.

If we see magick as the lables I have described...red magick can sometimes very easily fall into the black magick catagory.

i agree with you nodrk on the fact that we should see things as it is and one should reach the answer through meditation and through meditation ive come to the conclusion that people who use red magick are just looking for the easy way in and out of things, i mean ive gotten many requests and all of them say "i love him/her more then you could know". The truth is when i further question them on what they want done they ask for the easiest and most effective love spell.

It is in my opinion that love cannot be solved or even effected by magick in anyway other then a harmful one (although there are a few exceptions) and in truth i have yet to see a person come in request to bring back relationship going bad, its only the same kind of person coming for help... they want to be noticed by this person and loved. Sorry but that cant come from magick.

Personally i think all they can do in a situation where the one they love doesnt notice them is to make them noticed by that person. And if i seem like im rambling im sorry :D im really on this subject because i get this kind of mail all the time and it drives me crazy.

Also ive never heard of raven magick either, please expand on this im intrested in knowing about that:D
