I agree with Brysing. There is no certain color of magic. Just depends on what the caster is using it for. This was one of the very first things I learned when i began back in 2001.
I know all of this, look, I mean that if someone wants to say white, or black, to classify a certain type of magick they will practice, they can use those terms. Im not saying if you practice good magic that it will be white in colour or bad magick as black in colour its just some terminology.
White, Black, Grey, Green,..ect. Are subjective words placed into magick, no one fully does good nor does any fully do bad with magick, we all keep a balance of bad and good in our magickal uses.
Like casting a spell on a friend without them knowing it (example a luck spell) it could be good to you, but it could be concidered a curse to your friend. So magick doesn't have a color. As brysin was trying to explain, there is neither good nor evil, there is just energy and the practitioners that practice with it.
Like I said I know all of this its just people dont understand what I am saying and will try to make me seem dumb or they think I mean something else, they dont see the logic behind what I was saying so lets all move on from this.
I don't think I have ever said white arts or black. "black magick" sounds like people trying or wanting to be the bad guy. I have seen many "white witches" state they only do "white magick", but it seems offensive to me and as though they want to make the rest of us look bad or that they are somehow more acceptable. I understand some people use it to refer to necromancy and summoning demons and that's fine if that's what one would like to say, I just chose not to separate it. To me, any magick just is.

It is the very words that are the problem. Words are very powerful, and it is not so much the actual meaning that I am warning against; but the perceived meaning by people with no understanding of witchcraft.
"Black Magic" to the general public means Evil;Devil Worship; Black Mass;Curses and Hexes. Movies such as The Exorcist. Novels by Dennis Wheatley, and others, about the power of The Devil.
It is the word that causes people to condemn witchcraft;Black!
And it is why members should refrain from saying, "I use Black magic." or "I am a White Witch,I only use White Magic". Most of the time, they don't really know what they are saying.They are just wanting to be "different". Or that "black" magic is more powerful than "white" magic. Yes, they are only titles. But a title can be very dangerous.
some opinions says blsck magic is the one you should do at night and the white magic is the one you should do at day ,, or the black magic is for deth and revenge and other bad things and the white magic is for all good things !
well ! the truth is the magic is magic with no a color , its just depinding on the way you use it ...
I think you know what I mean. Obviously magick is colourless but to determine the intent to use magick, people should have the option to use black or white bad or good
