Wrong use of Magic?
Posted by Raito9 on 2010-03-22 22:14:40 |
| If you disagree with what I'm about to say, that's fine. Just be respectful, not rude. Now, I'm a newbie to the Craft like alot of others. And, I notice a sort of....pattern. Newbies, and others, asking for spells to solve problems. Weight loss, relationship trouble, and so on. Now, the desire for a quick fix is evident in every human, so there's nothing wrong with it. I just believe that every person who practices the Craft should be aware that magic isn't a quick fix solution. Sometimes, there is no magical way out of one of life's problems we face. Now, you older practicioners are probably going, "we already know this." Good. Spread the word. Tell the newbies this. I'm not sure if magic has a thing against using for yourself like this, but it would be bad if a newbie tried to use a spell for something like this, and got themselves into magical trouble. I'm not trying to be rude, and I hope I didn't insult anyone. Just think with common sense before doing a fix-it spell. Some of life's problems can't be fixed with magic. Remember this. |

| It is magik itself that has a problem with quick fixs, its just energy nothing more or less than that, it is the sentinent beings, the gods and fates and dragons and faeries, that hav a problem with the quick fixs, just thought i would say that ttfn |

| Thanx Aedoc. Like I said, I'm a newbie. If an elder practicioner has some advice as well, feel free to input with this. I just think people shouldn't abuse the 'system' to fix their small problems. I'm not trying to be mean. :) I just think it's important. |

| Your examples of weight loss and relationship issues... remind me of something... It has been said that Magick really shouldn't be used unless totally necessary. Personally, if I needed to lose weight, I would exercise (or fast...) and if I had relationship issues, I would either look at what I'm doing wrong, or if I keep finding the wrong kind of people, figure out how to find the kind I want and converse with them... I would see magick as more of a booster. It allows your energy to be put more direct into what you are trying to get to. (And more, depending on what you practice, let it be herbalism, etc.) But the first thing you must realize is that the base of magick is will. If you don't have the will to put your energy to a goal, it just won't happen. There are no quick fixes in life. Even magick takes time. |

| Magic is not for the quik fix, if its something that is important enough for you to try hard and work at then your not going to have the energy to make the magic work. you cant put a spell to get an A on a test and not even care enough to study when you have the opertunity, if you truly care then do what you can do first or do what you can do and work magic at the same time |

| All magick is focused intent. The ritual tools used in many of the spells are props to get our minds to focus magickally. So, much of the energy comes from within. To accomplish Great Magick, a person must alter their thinking patterns greatly and this process can often take a lifetime. Am I to understand that not everyone knows this? |
