Black Magic For Good Reasons Options

I hear that black magic encompasses any form of magic done on someone without them agreeing to it whether it be for their benefit or demise. Wouldn't it be possible to do some sorta general ritual where you demand "things just get better for this person" nothing specific so you know you won't end up causing them problems thinking your helping. All you'd be doing is giving them a boost towards a better life. If you were proficient in psionics or whatever would it be possible to just go around causing changes for the better for everyone you run into? I don't see why not. I know I'd like someone helping make life better for me.

the reason "black magick" is called black is not because of what it encompasses but what it does.

Well, it depends on the person defining it, I guess... For example Kraig writes that any kind of healing a person (or doing anything good or bad to them) without their knowledge and permission is considered black magick. I'd prefer to be healed without not knowing it rather than not to be healed at all... but that's just me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The problem here is, by the way, that this approach kind of reduces the pool of the potential 'patients' as we may be willing to heal/help a lot of people but we may not want to tell all of them that we are going to perform a ritual (and that we believe in it and practice it at all).

Do you think that improving someone's day would make mine worse? I haven't had such experiences. I must say, though, I usually devote myself (and my time & energy) to helping myself rather than the others, so maybe that's why (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Anyway, I've never heard of methods of stealing someone's good-day-energy in order to improve the day of someone who's low on it, but I don't know really...

so in other words, from my freinds exp. something like trying to make someone else's day better means taking it from someone else and therefore it is a "bad" thing

Do you mean ALWAYS? Or maybe it's just your friends that practice black magick...?
