Well magic(k)'s basics can be candle magic(k). Also know that magic(k) has no definet color, even the greater "white" magic(k) users can do "black" magic(k), there is just the intent of the spell caster.

magick also has no colour [hence why Witch was putting quotation marks around "white" and "black"] magick is made up of neutral energy found in nature to create subtle changes in ones life to effect it [typically for the better] . it is the caster's intent that makes the energy positve [white] or negative. [black] keep in mind to think before you cast, and be careful what you wish for.

a simple example i use a lot is say you've got a friend who hates magick, but is sick, and you know of a spell that would cure them quickly. so without their connect, you cast the spell, and sure enough, your friend gets better. you would consider this positive as you were helping your friend. however, your friend didn't ask, and in fact, didn't want you to cast, you decided it was the right thing to do, and ignored your friend, forcing your will over them, making your spell, in actuality, negative. now there are a lot of other loop holes, and sometimes it is best to heal your friend, but keep in mind of the threefold law. while not everyone believes in this law, it's like karma, basically you do good, good things happen. do bad, bad things happen. so by healing your friend when they didn't want you to cast on them, you could wind up getting sick as punishment.

while magick can be done by anyone, and you don't need to belong to any faith, i do suggest reading some books before you cast spells. if you just want to cast spells, learn about magick before you cast, what magick can and can't do for instance. meditation is a very important thing to do, it will not only help with your health, but you need focus and energy in order to cast, and meditation can help you with both. i'll leave you with some coven articles to read.
