actually 'the Charmed' carried a lot of message to 'us' the one who is going to practice witchcraft...
i'm saying so is because we can addicted when we uses magick for our own benefits and personal gain...
no doubt, we also can see 'the Charmed' uses the magick for personal gain...
anyway, i think there's no harm in using magick for personal gain, but not to the extend.
I use magick for personal gain, however I believe you shouldnt use it frivolously.. Like, my prosperity spell has a 100% success rate, but I don't think I should be doing it every day or something, because I don't always NEED money. I'll admit I mostly use it for stupid occasions, however I still try to have some responsibility.
WHat is wrong with using it for personal gain. I mean you can do a lot of things without magick. Isn't using a protection, using magick for personal gain? If theres a negative presence in your house and you banish it, isn't that using magick for personal gain. I don't know who said this but I don't think it's true.
That's funny. If that were true, then we couldn't heal ourselves, protect ourselves, or many other things. Whoever said this is obviously way over the top. Lots of spells are for the caster specifically. If you don't cast spells because of personal gain, then you've probably never casted a spell at all.
Using Magick for personal gain is all right, but not at the expense of others and u shouldn't use magick for the soul perpous of making everybody you don't like miserable.
And why is that? Thats what blacc magick is for. To make those miserable who make you miserable. I personally use higher magick. But I do use curses and hexes. Its better for me to use magick then to be a psycopath and to kill hundreds of people.
I used magick basically for personal.. day.. mostly very easy magick.. ^_^ like making all the lights of the traffic I am going green.. either I am great on magick or my timing is almost perfect. *_* Also, I might use what most people know as black magick.. just because I am selfish (yeah I am evil) and like to manipulate few people.. ^_^ what can I say.. I just had to see how it was done.. O_O but I need practice on it, though just by twisting some of my words.. and give my innocent face is quite enough.. but sometimes I get tough ones... ^_^ and some protection practices.. I tend to do my look a little out there. #_# not forgetting that practice makes perfect.. I agree that magick is addictive and more when all the expected results since to be there.. ^_^ it is so great.. but whoever uses magick and says does not use it for personal gain, is talking from out of the mouth.. *_* and not really meaning it.. and "CHARMED" was mention about personal gain, well their ways was different, they actually to show some morals on the show, but they still using it for personal gain just in a different perspective.
deathgoddess you're true..
actually we should not rely on magick too much...
magick is a practice and also a learning things for us..
use it wisely as what i will say
