^ This, while certainly born of good intentions, is another fine example as to why we run out of patience and just say no.

It's not that things must exist. Or even that all spells will work all of the time. To me it's this dialog of limitation. When you say something can't be done you limit not only the person you tell but also yourself. It's a combination of inner and outer dialog for as you type those words you also internalize them. I have no desire to be limited either by what I think or what I read.

Anpu i believe that magic is change and is only limited by the caster and no matter what believe in one self is the most powerful thing one person can do.
Magic is like imagination vissualize beieve and achieve.
I have seen things with my recently deceased grandfather.
He taught me much and his bestiary and book of shadows is good.

While there are many things that magic can achieve, there are some that it cant. I mean absolutley no disrespect in saying this. At one time I fully believed that it could achieve anything. However, in the eight years I have been seriously ill I have never once found something that could fix my condition. I mean I have tried just about everything you could think of. Chants, prayers, asking entities and gods for assistance, poppetry, reiki... you name it I have probably been there, outside of paying a fortune or slaughtering another person for sacrifice. And I can honestly say, most everything else I have done in magic has worked. The reason I have been unable to be healed is because I have had metal inside me I am allergic to that needs to come out and only a surgeon could do that. If magic could achieve anything and everything I would definitely have found the means within all of my research.

People are not just "dismissing" things they do not have faith magic could do. There are some limitations to it unfortunately. I am not saying the things you practice or preach are not possible, just that some things are no probable through magic.

I understand but the disrespect is not on me but my dead grandfather. He died and left me his book of shadows.no matter what the cost healing is possible through ley lines and chakra point.they become clogged like a pipe and stop spinning thus you must open them to clean them.occasionaly pyschic entities leech on to your energy draining your life force away.when executed the energy is given back to you.healing energy is green.and for ghe most part i forgive all who do not know me.
Remember love is the most powerful of all magicks for love heals all the same power that gives people the strength to lift cars off babies is the same belief in oneself.now for the most part angels heal and just invoke the one on the day you were born and the one today and finnaly the one above.

Chakra work does do wonders for some things. And I believe that working with Angels could push you in the right direction towards geting help, if they cannot directly help with a problem.

Regardless, neither of the above can just *poof* something into non existence.

Faith and belief are wonderful to have in your life. Just do not let them make you blind.

Danny, magic and the Holy Spirit are certainly not the same thing.

I, for one, neither believe in the concept of the Holy Spirit nor work with it and yet I can do magic. Anyone can do magic no matter which religion they follow or if they follow no religion at all. You talk about not limiting magic, yet if you say you can only do it through the Holy Spirit then you limit it to those who follow the Biblical Traditions.

Magic is a craft, it is not based upon religion, any religion.

Nothing is impossible, only improbable.
Also consider the 'trickle down' and side effects from doing magic.
You might cast a spell to be a multimillionaire, but end up dying young due to engaging in a drug addiction you previously could not afford.
The factor of synchronicity comes into it, whether you like it or not life is fixed. All magic does for the most part is buy us time in order to change our circumstance

@Anpu
I entirely agree with Awake.

I apologize, I haven't been very active in the community lately because I'm 6 months pregnant with my third child.

I've taken the time to talk to many here one on one. I really feel you need to do the same.

I don't say "no" unless it is something idiotic like turning into a car or that they are moonlighting as a mermaid, flippers and all. Most people here know that I either take the time to explain or don't say anything. I understand, however, that I have more patience than the average person, or so I've been told.

Everyone here is entitled to their own opinion and although there are those that do believe magick has far less limitation than they admit, there are also many that really do believe magick is only possible as internal change and spiritualism. Some are Athiests that don't believe in any spirit, being, or deity. It's a big mixing pot and that tends to make it difficult to see eye to eye in a crowd. That's why there are covens for various paths.

There are many here who are worth staying in the community for. Many wonderful people. You are likely basing your opinion on the chat room. True story, I never entered the chat room until I became a moderator. That's three years as a member without ever using that feature. There is only a small percentage of the community that go there and they are usually the same exact ones day after day. Those same people end up with the trolls, the role players, and the spell beggers constantly. They're a little grumpy for it.
