What Do You Use Magic For? Options

Magic: the art of producing a desired effect or result through the use of incantation or various other techniques that presumably assure human control of supernatural agencies or the forces of nature

In it's definition magic has endless possibilities....

does it?

For some strange reason. when i am thinking up "Incantation" or "various other techniques" I have trouble thinking up what to do.

"what exactly is the problem i'm facing now? How do i solve it?" are questions i ask,

but magic doesn't seem to come up as an answer often.

and when it does, i use my trusty tarrot deck and i get BAD RESULTS
BAD BAD BAD RESULTS

so the magic i do always ends up being pure white magic since everything else seems it would go bad.

that's pretty limited if you ask me.

that is experience, and experience comes with time, and failure

as i said in the other thread, you need to define what you want to do, and how magic would accomplish it, and what actual magic that it uses and how, and what path is that magic within, and then go learn that path, and then you could use that magic to do what you wanted to do

there are no shortcuts, and no vague 'do magic' incantations that hook you up with immediate solutions

a much simpler way for the beginner to accomplish everyday things is to work through a non-physical entity, sometimes called a god or goddess, hence the popularity of wicca and those paths like it that exalt a godform or angel or demon or entity - the entity has the experience and if you can command or cajole it then you can have it do your bidding, as long as it doesn't eat you first

yep, just like praying to god for a new car, but lets say you wanted to work with god, then first you need to know god, and not the miserable old sunday-school version that is waiting breathlessly at the gateway for you to grant an audience with it, but the real god - not any duality-ridden he, but a timeless 'it', a seething orb of such incredible power that it would destroy you utterly and immediately to even approach it - the star that is our sun is only a tiny fraction of the true thing that is god, for god is more than even all the things and all the energy in all the universes - it is 1^n - there is an insane amount of power within a sibgle thought from it, and also intelligence, and strength and much wisdom, as this thing has existed eternally since before time began- we are splinters of that incredible godform, and our true selves are made in the image of that godform, and the physical bodies we inhabit are bipedal for a reason

i am very attached to and serve a particular female godform - her overlord is ebven greter than her, but her story is my story, and the two of us have been together since before memory, and even unaware of my true nature i was pulled to her, and then i became whole again
