Im talking about is it possible to read, and correctly perform a spell from a voodoo book if you believe strongly in it. Or is it possible to be born with powers to do things that no one else can do. Things such as thouse...😐
I'm sorry, but I'm talking about us. We are the primitives, or as you say it, "idiots that stand there and stare at the flames of a bic.". You should see the movie, The Magic Man. In all magic there is a truth that is hard to understand, that is why it must be done correctly or it will not work. If you don't use the lighter correctly it will not work.

I've just read this and alot of ppl have jumped straight to T.V and Wiccan religion. There are lots of books out there which go on about Wiccan and the histroy of witches and such!
Yet know one has said about the one fundamental rule of magic.
" Be careful with what you do for it will be returned to you threefold!"
I like to think that magic is just looking toward the actions you take and what consequences they will have!
But hey each to theire own!! 😖mart:
I don't believe in magic being real because they are magic tricks.
Ritual magic is something I'm reasonably interested in though I don't practice it.
I do believe in what some people, such as Derren Brown, are doing. Because that's not magic, thats psychological influence and mind "control".
I don't believe in magic in the famous sense though.

Spells are prayers, it just have a different name, prayers require only that we speak, spells sometimes have more complicated rituals. Ceremonies, and ritual exist in every religion, even catholic religion, and their "magic" is called religious ceremony. Holy water originated from egyptian magic. Prayers, or blessings are like magic. If someone bless me is to help me somehow in a strange magical way, as if their words had some kind of power. Thats what prayers are.... to think that words have some kind of power that affect the reality we live is magic.

Wicca goes back millenia, and yes, decades also, I guess, technically.

How does Quantum Physics relate to Law of Attraction?
Most people only think of a financial thing, but it's effect is in every part of your life.
Wicca is a modern religion, but it had its origins on druidic religion which is very old. By the way, I think there isn´t much difference between wicca, and druidic religion there are philosophically the same, right.
I think we can affect the environment with our words, thoughts and belief, we already now that we can affect water crystals with our thoughts. I think our consciousness is a real physical phenomena, its not just imaginary, and so it can affect the physical world. There are physical substances that can affect our consciousness, why consciousness cannot affect the physical world.
