Magic is part science, part spiritual in my belief. As such it is bound by physics. Spirits, however can not even be explained by science and are not bound by physics. Witchcraft because of its capabilities used to be illegal for just that reason. If you outlaw spellcasting you must also outlaw prayer considering prayers to Spirits are the same as Spellcasting. Do you really think a world run by religions will outlaw prayer? Not going to happen and therefore Spellcasting shall continue. :-)
I have a mixed belief on it. Because there is not one proven case of magic killing people. Plus every serious practioner even of curses and hexes that I know of say one human can not kill another human with magic. I am not saying it is not possible. I am not saying it is possible. I am saying I do not believe it is possible without help from the spirit world. If spirits heed my call and lead someone to their death then I have not committed a crime under the mans law unless it can be proven. It is no different than praying for someones death. I am still held accountable by the spirits for asking such a thing. I have tried killing with magic to no success. I have tried killing through spiritual help to no success. Really death and sickness curses rely more on the target knowing about it and worrying their self sick or causing their own death. If it were possible to pray or spellcast someone to death, the individual caster or prayer would be held accountable by courts not the belief system. That is what I am saying.
Mainly I believe in the Science and Spiritual side of Magic. I also believe Magic exacts a price just as prayer does. Most importantly I believe people can be hurt and / or killed when magic is not handled properly. Of course my belief does not make it fact and is slightly supersticious & subject to change as I learn and grow. :-)
I apologize SirJacks if I am confusing. Most of what I post is merely my opinion or belief on what little I know and is subject to change as I learn and grow. :-)
And on that note, if there was a door left open in a persons mind and a spirit did lead a person to their death without you asking them to and you think its because someone else asked for money, then like i said, it wouldnt be a coincidence and it would be illegal to perform majick if that was even a possibility. Just sayin. I would be careful not to underestimate the knowledge and power of government.
Its cool mindleschaos, I enjoy finding out other peoples views.
Wiccadoll, you can't have something that open ended. Your making me want to hear more. The thing about my stance on governments is that some belong to occult societies so they would potentially keep their things and anything similar secret. So what are your views?
Yes. The most undebatable existent organization in america would be freemasonry in my opinion. More recently the rosacrucians have been discussed more openly on the internet and on television as well. Ive always had facsination with the knights templar and the illuminati. Up until i read posts on this site, i had never even heard of the order of the golden dawn but i also find them intriguing and hope to learn more.
"Good" magick is down to whatever an individuals perception is, thus making it subjective. A Curse to someone else is 'bad' to me a curse is 'good'. You see what I mean? That is what I meant in regards to a subjective term.
As far as magick to help you financially? I admire that, but keep in mind that magick is not instantaneous. You can cast it and it not take affect until many months later. There are spells in which can bring you good fortune, however, as I stated above nothing is instant. From what I have seen a spell you also have to work with it. Money will not just literally fall into your lap if you sit and do nothing. I am not saying that you are, I am speaking figuratively.
