Magic misuse

I have noticed as many others have, that a lot of people turn to magic as a solve all or quick fix to every little problem. While it is a wonderful art, it is not going to solve every issue you run into. If your having health issues, try a well balanced natural diet high in essential vitamins and minerals. Drink plenty of water. If you have issues with loneliness, spend time doing things you enjoy that involve other people or even animals. If you feel out of sorts, explore the things in your life that may be leaving you off balance such as lack of sleep, poor diet or stress. Not everything in this world is or needs to be related to the unknown. I am not stating that magic cannot fix your problems or that it cannot cause them. Simply that there are other options to be explored before doing things such as using a spell to make someone love you, chanting to make your hair grow or creating a poppet to get back at your ex. Magic is meant to enhance life, not to be used as a cure for every little thing. Regardless, enjoy your practice and ignore my ranting if you chose :) L.L.B ~Angie

Good post Lightseer. I agree with you. Mundane methods should always be looked at first. Magick should be used to help support such methods of problem solving.

Exactly! Not that I do not understand the desire to obsess over magic use. Most practitioners I have met do that from time to time. It just saddens me to see people use or obsess over it to the point that there is nothing else, nor any other answer besides something mystical

Pfft. Ethics.

Where on earth did you get that ethics were involved in this? Lol

Great post Lightseer! Everyone wants some kind of quick fix to their problems, without having to change their circumstances. People want to change, without actually changing anything.

Magick can't do a quick fix, magick will take as long as it needs, it's also depends on the caster though too. Sometimes it also take comittment from the caster as well. I really don't like posts were they ask for a spell that will work institanously. No one knows for sure when or even if the spell will work. It's almost like a roll of the dice.

I would say refrain from using swearing we do have young children on this site. Also what precisly are you needing?

You might want to explain a little more, bs. Waiting doesn't make sense when we don't know what you're waiting for, nor how you screwed up. No need to be really personal, but you didn't explain anything except your asking of waiting.

Ooops! Gabs, not bs.
