Why are they "wannabes" for wanting to work with black magick? Or have I misunderstood your post?

Because, from first glance of this website, all spectrums of magick are welcomed here.

I do agree that there are many here that do not have the desire to dedicate themselves to a magickal path and are only looking for quick fixes to their problems in life. It is a sad truth that magickal practioners have had to face since the beginning. I personally have three people who I communicate with here that are serious. I've gone through at least twenty who were not. I find that the ones who are not serious, stop replying after they realize all that is involved.

im calling them "wannabes" because of their natures to which they want to learn magick...! and yes i completely agree although i dont think ive met one serious person on here yet...

I will agree that there are many misinformed people on this site..which is one of the reasons for the site. To learn.

I have to laugh a bit when you call people who want to learn "black magick" wannabe's when the only flaw you see with it is that it's a "no no". Not that most practitioners will say that magick in and of itself has no color, but rather intent.

If you mean that anyone who wants to use magick in what some would consider a negative manner, then no. I disagree with you on it being a "no no" since many true devotees have done it and the choice not to is nothing more than a personal choice. Not an unwritten rule.

Rashnux is spot on. Great post! That's exactly what I was going to say, but you said it far more eloquently. =)

There are some wannabes who really want to learn. There are some others who have already learnt everything by reading a couple of books. There some who are merely having fun, play acting, as all children do! Then there are some who will never learn!
We are human! Sometimes we stumble, sometimes we fall.

i do black magick when it is needed of course most people reffer to black magic as demonic things but i se it as vengefull or hurtfull spells and yes i know magic has no color but i use all kinds of magic if the gods gave me this power than why cant i use it

Its not just you, It happens with me more than a lot.
We call them wannabes becuase they want to learn black magick becuase its cool or something (and just for me:those who want to learn black magick to hurt someone are also wannabes as black magick is a tool of bringing justice upon earth)
So if you want to learn black magick, know it first and make up your mind heart and soul to adabt with it for life.

I think a lot of it has to do with misconceptions. Children, teens, and even some adults come here with an idea of what they think magic is because of all of the television shows and books out there on the market. They think magic is just a plaything to be used at their leisure for revenge, wealth, power, control, and what have you. All we can do is tell them the facts and try to point them on the right path. What they choose to do from their is their own business. Let them use magic for negative purposes, it will come back to bite them eventually, and they'll learn from their mistakes.

We need to make mistakes to learn and grow as individuals. It just takes some people longer to learn their lesson.

One thing I have learned after being on this site for four years is that you can't take everything you read on here seriously. People come and go, ideas do as well, everything is not for everybody. The best thing to do is roll with it. Fighting to much against what you do not agree with doesn't go half as far as learning to work with the world around you. Magic is as magic does and so do the people who practice it.
