I was told by several magical tools that my path of magic lies down the path of shadow/darkness. But not evil. This seems the most logical because when I first did energy manipulation attempt, my energy was pitch black, like a void. Everyone around me also saw it as this, we practiced seeing each others flow. The thing is I know nothing of shadow/dark except it can be dangerous. Could someone give me more information on it or teach me.
I myself don't dabble too much in that form of magic, but I know a little bit about it if you want a few pointers. Also, I see if I can refer someone who will be able to help you. Be careful of what some poeple tell you on this site. A lot of the role-players say that they are masters of the darker magics (for those who know that magic has no color, I use that a reference to the intent of the spell, not the color, and also as a qoute from the role-players) or of nature magic when all they really know is what they see in movies.
There is such thing as "dark" magick, Wolftrest.
I'm sure that in some way you've learned over the years that dark is not a color.
Color when given to magick, is usually, merely referring to the intent.
But darkness, the word itself, has a different meaning.
It refers to magick simply lacking light.
- Night Magick
- Shadow Magick
- Moon Magick
etc...
As such, simply referring to dark magick as dark magick will only make you seem like a role player to the highly misinformed.
Regardless, I do agree. Be wary of those you ask for help on this subject, Aldewyn; and good luck. Darkness magick is quite interesting and exhilarating once you get into the hang of it. :)
Stereotypes cause you to believe that darkness is evil, don't dabble with shadows though, they can screw you u. however, darkness is the counterpart to light but it is not evil as some people seem to think..
I don't want to manipulate dark energy and I don't have stereotypes about darkness. I do know not to underestimate shadow because it will bite back... Hard. I want someone who can give me information on the dark and teach me dark magic. It's hard for me to explain what I mean by dark magic... The best thing I can think of to describe what I mean would be like Necromancy... Magic that is dark in nature, lies in shadow... I can't think of any other way to describe what I want to learn.
i see, i would not advise necromany for the faint of heart, but why shadows? what is it you want to gain that you must learn shadow path techniques? thats if you have anything to gain. ;)
It may sound crazy but I have been having a lot of issues lately when it comes to magic. None of my spells work even though I can clearly visualize them. So I did a test because when I first heard about energy wars, a game my friends and I played to increase our energy strength, and my energy kept appearing black to me and everyone around me. So I tried a couple of simple spells and they worked better then I could have hoped.
I am hesitant because I know that dealing with darkness, even if it isn't evil, can have dire consequences for those who aren't prepared. One night while using my tarot deck it yelled at me and told me that it needed to tell me something important. So I pulled a few cards and it kept coming up darkness, shadow, return, and silent. I was having a hard time discerning what it meant so I had my wife do a reading. Hers came up with inner conflict, balance, and a few other things I can't clearly remember.
So after 20 minutes of trying to figure it out, it finally became clear. My tarot was trying to tell me my path of magic lies in the path of darkness and shadows. My wife's deck was saying that I am having inner conflict because I didn't want to pursue the path and have it end up hurting those I love around me. But not all things in the darkness are evil and not all things in light are good.
So after 5 days of debating it and taking what the cards said into deliberation... I have decided to follow the path that leads into the darkness and shadows because I believe that good can not exist without evil and vice versa. My wife's magic is healing and light based. So going by what I believe, my magic is dark based. Her and I are two halves that have made each other whole. We are soul mates that have been together for many lives and continue to find each other.
What he's saying is true. I'm his wife. He'd been arguing with himself for days until I reminded him of the light and dark thing. He understands the risks. He's just looking to learn more about all of this so he can protect himself and our family from the negitive that would usually come with using that type of magic. I hope that what Ive said can help you understand what he is trying to get through.
