I have read a few things that people have written (not on this site) and thought that I should speak my mind here where people may care for...
Now first, I will like to talk about God. I think that God was created by us humans. You know a group of people got tired of nothing but hopelessness and had an idea of believing their is more out there in the world and needed some hope to live. I maybe wrong or right, don't know... but because of the many people believing God and "knowing" he is their they have created him. For hope and to keep order in the world, with the Heaven and Hell. That is what I think and I am not saying that it happen that way.
The other thing I will like to talk about is Spells. Yes there are spells and rites for you to make your life better... But be sure to fully understand the spell and be sure that you do need to cast it. No point to spend time to cast something that will not effect your life. Also for those who think that Magick is all about power or just spells, you need to dig deeper. Don't look at the front cover but inside the pages.
And another thing, people that do Tarot... Good job at finding what you like to do. But doing Tarot online when your new at it will just mess you up. First, Tarot needs the persons energy. 2nd, if you don't know the person's face or name then how can you read them? 3rd, If your new then just keep on doing readings on yourself (doesn't matter if your right or wrong) until you can get the feel of the cards. The only spread I know that you can only do once a year is the "Tree of Life Spread" and you should do that once you fully understand what the Tree of Life is.
Lastly, if you do make spells, be sure that you understand everything you put into the spell. Like why are the candles blue besides to add protection to you or to the item? Or why do I need herbs? Do this really help it or just make it look real or better? In every spell, in either casting or making, you have to ask questions. If you don't then it may not work or you could really hurt someone or yourself. Remember, Magick is safe sometimes but not all the times.
If you disbelieve any of my words then please feel free to reply.

-- God is a developed concept, developed from the time man had the ability to wonder. My take on God is that it is just another pen-name of the Universe, the cosmic energy and divinity of it all. God, Vishnu, Allah, YHWH, whatever. Whether man picked up on the channeling of the divine, or decided to make something divine, I guess we won't know until we die and maybe even then. Either way, God and all deities are 'real', they exist in reality for those that allow them to. Would you say a Twinkie is not real because it is manmade and did not evolve of its own accord? This is too complex of a topic to properly debate here with limited space, but I do see what you are saying. Though, how do you know for certain that the Universe didn't speak to man first?

-- I do agree with this. I see a lot of people coming here thinking that just because it says it's a spell means you say it and it works. This is not true. You do have to understand the words, symbolism, colors, who/what you're invoking and why. If it says "Quan Yin Death Spell" you better realize that the Bodhisattva of compassion would be of no use to a death spell.

-- This is not true. Do you read Tarot? If so, where did you hear this? You can connect to energy through a machine... it in fact works as a wonderful medium. It does not compare to being right there with the person, but everything we do has our energy attached to it, even the words you are reading off a screen. It's part of how you can tell when people are flat out liars, bluffers, or when it's a person using multiple accounts, etc. When I don't know the face or name I connect to the avatar and screenname and let the forces at play take care of the rest. I do not recommend reading Tarot online if you've never done it in person because it's harder to realize when you've connected, but with practice it can be done well.

-- This is common sense that is often forgotten. Understand your own work and you can better understand the work of others.
Alright I want to talk about tarot, yes I do read tarot. I heard of that from a lot of people that I know close up and a few books. The computer and the internet... very big indeed... It is true that if someone leaves their energy on that it will stay. But it is a bit different when doing it online. Because the words that I am typing does have my energy but the computer copies the coding for the words into the net over and over and over again until it goes to another or multiple places. Unless the person is really focusing their energy into the net then the CARDS can not read them because they do not know them. It does not matter if you can read the words or understand if their lying, because the cards are the ones that needs the energy. Besides the other factor is that tons of people are on the net, so the energies are mixed up into on great ball or so, and if not then how can you tell their energy from the others when it is your first time feeling it? Remember, people are different, but yet a lot of them are a same in their own way.
And god, well I didn't read it all because, like I said before, that is what I think. Everyone thinks about god differently so it doesn't matter to me if you think I am wrong or right.
And the spells, well first you agreed then you disagree? Weird lol. I never did said that magick is just words that you can read or that their are no color or meaning to the things. But I will say that Magick is everywhere and mostly everything, Everything can happen and yet everything can not happen. Kinda like it is keeping a balance. You have to think, "Hey it could happen, but yet it could not happen."
If I miss something or if you misunderstand something then please reply.
I don't know too much on tarot so I can't legitimately argue either way although I have witnessed several successful readings over the internet.
I'm not touching the god topic with a barge pole I'm afraid, I know what I believe and that's enough for me, the debate is too intense and personal.
I think you misinterpreted Kikuyo, she didn't disagree with you but merely emphasise the point of a spell not necessarily working because it says it will, although I do see how you interpreted the disagreement based on the order and wording.
The only thing I did not fully read was the god topic because I might get into something I don't want to get into. But I did said what I think about what has happen with him myself, like how you had the right to read it or not. Besides I have the right no matter what anyone else says to post, not because of someone else rule but because I want to.
Even if they where some good ones you have to ask yourself, the people that did them must of had good practice for some good time or just got lucky.
I am getting a feeling that some people think that I don't anything or what I am talking about... A bit rude but I think I can understand...
I agree with TrueAbyss' first post. Just the other day I was staring at the Mora link and I thought 'behind this link there are hundreds of lines of code' I am a programmer and I know that no computer program can replace a person. This web program can't give an accurate reading, Mora or the tarot reader. Energy can't be sent electronically. Mora is programmed to use a person's profile info to generate a random answer. The tarot reader generates cards randomly. Why do you think the outcome is different everytime you try it, even if you try it immediately after each reading? Computer-human interaction will never be perfected. Humans control computers, not the other way around. I think this is a great website! I'm just saying that you shouldn't take the tarot reading or Mora too seriously.
The topic about god is a very complex discussion. There are so many different gods and every one thinks that their god is the right one to believe in. It has become custom to believe in a god. Why do people need to believe in a god anyway? Why do we need to know where everything comes from, why don't we just live like the animals: don't question the order of things, but just enjoy it. I don't believe that when we die we go to a so called heaven or hell. I believe that our soul becomes a part of the energy that exists. This energy also brings new life, so in a way it is like reincarnation. I believe everything is like the Brother Bear movie. There is a never ending cycle of birth and death that will never end. I don't believe in a god or devil or whatever.
Thanks BlackLeopard for your reply. This topic is getting boring with me so I may not reply it with the passion I once did.
I talked to a few tarot readers in my city and I to am a programmer. They all said that it can not be done. Unless you know the person or try to let them hear what they wish. Their is a type of "reading" a person by looking at them. No cards or ball or mirror needed. The way they do it is by asking a question that can be answered in many ways like... "Your father is away." It could mean that he went on a trip, that he died, that he is moving away from the family, and many more. Those are fake readers and are mostly doing it for the money. I am not saying anyone on here is one of them but you have to be careful not to be one of them.
Oh yeah I do read tarot, been doing it for 6 years and I still don't think I am ready for scrying or crystal ball or mirrors. Tarot has been running down with my family for many years so it is in my blood.
