Well, the three magis ( the three wise men) were in fact magicians, many people believe that the three wise men were in fact magicians and had the wisdom of magick, also there's a lot of jewish/christian magick that has been created in ancient times. They even have seals and magick symbols for the archangels michael, gabriel, samael, uriel, raphael, and raquel. The kabala is a jewish magick book, it's a book of jewish mysticism. And there's a book, I forgot what it's called, but it has magick prayers which are christian spells as well. I too believe in God, jesus and the holy spirit, but I also believe in other gods as well and other spirits and I believe that in magick you can choose to work with only jesus, angels, and God or you can choose to believe in other gods as well. In magick sometimes you don't even use other spirits and gods, sometimes you just work with the energy of the earth or God, angels, and jesus as well. Also the catholic church is not always against magick, I knew a couple of churches where they excepted magick and the people in the church used magick. And some people believe the catholic church actually use magick charms and charm things such as a crucifix, holy water and holy dirt from the holy city. Although the charming magick they do may just be a rumor. But anyways magick has been used with God, jesus and holy spirit and there's even and magick symbol for jesus, it looks kind of like a cross and the fish symbol has sometimes been considered and magick symbol do to its symbolism. Anyways hope that helps. blessed be!
The one overlooked barrier is the commandment "you shall have no other gods before me." I think that most spells are perfectly acceptable as long as you don't think of anything else before your God. That's what I do. If the spell calls for something less than god, i fill in for, lets say, the sea god, a saint of maybe even John the Baptist. It also says in the bible a quote about "witches", but this does from when King James had the bible translated to English. The term witch used by kings of the period meant devil worshippers a who were evil and planned to use magick to overthrow the governments and law. As long as you don't fit this description, you should be perfectly acceptable as a Christian Practitioner of the Holy arts.
What's another word for "works"? Yehoshua performed all sorts of "miracles" and "works" in YHWH's name. If he healed and raised the dead would that no doubt be a spell that was casted and a form of magic?
Sounds like "magic" to me.
The use of ritual in Christianity is as old as the faith itself. Communion was practiced in the churches founded by the Apostles. We marry amid great ritual, bury with ritual, and celebrate the Sabbaths with ritual, mark the seasons of the Church with ritual.
Praying is a form form spell work. So is burning the candles with the saints which have a petition on the back. I would yes you can.
Thanks so much everybody! Im super excited to be casting again, mainly for the protection and well beings of my friends and family. I feel so much better now that I know I don't have to worry about not being accepted by God, he made all things including magick and spells so I just wanted to thank you all so much! :)
What part of the bible doesn't describe a type of magick? Jesus healed people, he split the Sea, and he was a prophet(sort of). These are things people aspire today, but they don't notice how supernatural the Bible they believe in is.
Love this post. Thank you, answered my questions as well. I have always been in tuned to the super natural. My dad could see spirits and so does my niece. But I was raised catholic and was always told it was against the church. Good to read if used for positive reasons it's not wrong. God Bless
