Car, any experienced practitioner on here wont believe in the fire from hands and all that nonsense. Don't make the assumption that we believe that, it's generally the roleplayers and the new kids with no real clue of what magic is who believe in things like that. Real magic follows natural laws, it is a part of nature and as such doesn't work to break or go against natural laws.
Well done sadly all for not because the new gen has a huge hard head issue. They know nothing of real magick only Harry Potter. Nor do they know about "The Secret". Nature only gives what it wants and there is not much to be done. Law of Attraction is said to grant nearly any wish. I did say nearly. And that is applied well in magick because it takes intense concentration on what the intent is. Before you come to shape shifting anyways you should be well versed in magick. And psychic power or reading tarot doesn't mean you are a magician that weaves it only means you use divination Car so weaving shape shifting and whay you said separate issues anyways. Blessed be

The Hollywood films have misconstrued our passion into a little form of entertainment. Almost NONE of it is true. Shapeshifting,flying/levitation,teleportation,creating an element out of thin air,etc. all of that is FAKE. Anyone who thinks that needs to sit down until that thought fades into NOTHING. Sorry,but the truth needs to be spoken. Blessed be.
Magic is just a form of science that most people do not yet understand, and science even states that with mind over matter, anything is possible. Therefore, it is senseless to say that something is impossible just for the simple fact that you have not witnessed it. Even science says that transformation and making fire balls and all of that is possible. It annoys me when people think that science proves things like this wrong, because they obviously do not understand either one. I am not trying to be rude, but real magic and real science go hand in hand. We can never know if something is real or fake because everything...and I mean everything is possible.
I am open to other perspectives, so if you disagree, or even if you do agree, feel free to message me and we can kindly discuss whatever you wish.

"Even science says that with mind over matter anything is possible."
Really? And your citation for this statement is? Oh, and please only from juried scientific journals, not from some random web site that has no evidence to back up their claims.
It was a long time ago that I read this, but it was on numerous different sites, and three of my high school science teachers have taught me this as well.

Anything is possible but the probability (scientific term used often in research) of a human physically transforming into a mythological creature is very low.
I personally believe it is possible to educate all of those who feel they know (have belief) that anything is possible the difference between possibility and probability. The probability on this actually occurring is less than 100% therefore I understand that though it may be possible to educate all on this topic the probability does not reflect all actually learning.
*I agree with Rako's post. I have seen on this site that people often say that certain things are impossible because science says its impossible, like the subjects mention earlier. now if I'm right (For Example) science has created fire and "fireballs", now not to what most people think but a fireball in its own right. Now according to that logic creating a fireball should be possible with magic because science has done it as well.
*Also I agree with Moegami about how you cant create something from nothing without the energy equal to 21.5 Megatons of TNT , but from what I have seen in rituals and spells that are about shape shifting, they do require existing parts from animals in order to work. (For Example) Alot of spells and rituals I've seen require the fur of the animal included in the list of materials. now I'm not going to make a very detail list of all that is needed for its different depending on what spell/ritual you use but also the regain it came from. I'm also not going to explain in a scientific manner on how it would work for it could be different based on spell/ritual and regain.
*Now I dont have exact citations for the "mind over matter, anything is possible" phrase that Rako mention, but I have also heard of this phrased and I do know exact examples of mind over matter happening. (For Example) the placebo effect and nocebo effect, (now this one is going to get alot of criticism because it was from a show)Miroslaw Magola from stan lee's super humans, personally I think that is a good example of mind over matter, another is tibetan monks with there g Tum-mo meditation. theirs more but I'm going to leave it at that, but they are very good examples that with mind over matter, anything is possible. And lastly alot of sites can be named that show where they get there information or "evidence". heck even Wikipedia shows where they get there references from.
