Ceremonial or ritual Magic is no different than religious dogmas. I believe that Magic is a gift from God to those with the gift to accept it and appreciate it. The Magic I believe in and respect is related to the acknowledge of powerful and hidden forces of natural source. I respect those who believe that the use of ritualistic spells and "magic" artifacts will take them closer to secret powers... after all this is a democracy, right?
If you are interested in physical terms and scientific speculations about our physical reality you can watch this YOUTUBE video... otherwise ignore it.
thanks.
"Ceremonial or ritual Magic is no different than religious dogmas."
It is completely different. Ceremonial magick is a tool used by certain religions, perhaps employing their dogmas. It's structure can be applied to multiple belief systems, and if one is a chaos magician who utilises gods who are made up, so to speak, the structure will still work. One does not have to belong to a religion or adhere to a religious dogma for ritual magick to work. This is an erroneous statement, again one which you have stated as being plainly true.
"I believe that Magic is a gift from God to those with the gift to accept it and appreciate it."
Good for you, I personally don't adhere to the monotheistic religions and tend to look older than that for my divine inspiration. However, I choose to believe Magick just exists. It is not a gift, magick is a science and art which utilises the natural forces of the universe. Everything-is energy, everything in the universe. Magick is not a gift, but a fact about the world we live in. You are entitle to your belief of course.
The ending of your video seems to suggest that magick is not real if nothing can violate matter and energy. Again these are but theories, there is absolutely no evidence. Theories of science are useless without evidence. Again I see very little relevance.
You can balive that magic is a gift from god to those with the gift to accept and appreciate it all you want, but anyone can do magic if they know how it works and anything on the phyzical plane is aproximately as powerful as a Devine entatie you know
Oh and everything the previous guy said, you obviously have a lot to lurn aboat magic
And by the waythere are many God's even know I assume that you are talking aboat the cristan god but you should be mor specific aroan here

Magic is a gift from God? That is if you believe in God! It is believed by many that God made Man. I believe that Man made God! I believe that magic exists. Just as the Sun and Moon exists. As the Earth exists.
