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.

I don't really see how magic wouldn't work, granted I'm only a few months into this. I mean if you truly understand how and why intention and desire manifests in reality, physical or otherwise, making such changes is just a matter of willing it to. I've never had a failed attempt to produce results save the times when I expected it to fail or subconsciously wanted it to fail. Overcoming these is pretty fucking easy, and if you're actually doing rituals and spells rather than just performing the art of magick where nothing other than your mind and will to make stuff happen is involved, I don't really understand why they could still get in the way. The possibilities ARE endless, and it DOES NOT require "years of practice" to get to the point to be able to manifest matter from thin air or fly like I see so many people say. Repeating this creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where it DOES require training. Magick is fucking simple. Not only that, it's natural. EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON EARTH uses magic EVERY SINGLE DAY. I say f%*! all the ideology and rituals until you are able to "see" the dynamics of magick working in life AND can fully comprehend how and why consciousness creates reality. In my humble opinion they get in the way and put hoops to jump through in your way of just doing. If all you care about is results, you don't need to really understand every little aspect of exactly how what you did created them. Personally, I'm interested in studying that and kind of "know" how it works anyway, but it's not absolutely necessary.


Asking what I use magick for seems like a silly question to me because once you really know what magick is you realize everything is magic. Crowley defines magic as "the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will." Talking and walking are as magical as telekinesis and divination. To answer your question, I use magic for everything. As of recent, magick has become fully integrated and I use it like I do my senses and "normal" abilities.


Of course, I'm only 18 and have fallen into this VERY recently, so I could be way off. I don't think this is the case as an adept I have been working and talking with calls me a "pretty enlightened individual" and says I'm "on the fast track." Who knows. I do what I do and get results. f%*! all the rest.


Peace and love.
