Re: Black Magic
There is no such thing as black or white magic. It is merely the intention of the practitioner.
Likewise, magic is merely the manipulation of natural energy that already exists. There is nothing inherently wrong about it. Even wishing for something can be considered as practicing magic. Visualization is a key element of spell work, and in that, even the imagination is magical.
Please, don't buy into this "evildoer," crap. There is only empirical proof that magic works. You cannot judge others by these actions that they take, because once you buy into it, you are psychologically enacting their intentions due to your own bias and fear. Stop being paranoid about these issues, they are non-issues until you create them as such.
Even within the magical practicing community, it's often thought that magic has no power unless you believe in it. Yet here many are complaining of it's existence, when they are the one's reinforcing it.
