Hello, SM. In my study of CM, I've come across the term 'natural' magick as a different form of magick. I've read an opinion from Cornelius Agrippa where he denounces ceremonial magick as an, "impious disobedience to God." I simply couldn't leave this single little opinion alone since I try my very best to abide by the laws of God I feel are obvious and that I felt were genuine.

What I'd like to know is, what exactly is natural magick as opposed to ceremonial magick?

Is there anything within CM that holds some truth to Cornelius' opinion of it being sinful in any way compared to natural magick?

Thank you.

Oh. Well, that isn't impudent and narrow minded. He sounds like many dead white guys that we no longer read or actively promote. There really isn't any difference when it comes to anything vaguely magical at all in the grandest scheme of things, but probably Agrippa's idea of nature magick is anything involving people dancing around naked and intoxicated, or sacrificing animals ie. Things we consider to be maybe tribal (with a nod to shamanic influences?)

That's a good idea, and I didn't think of it. Upon further consideration, however, I feel both my suggestion of witchcraft and your suggestion of shamanic ideas is incorrect - I have read that Agrippa was a stalwart Christian, unorthodox as he may appear. In any case, medieval Europe was a poor place to espouse shamanism and witchcraft!
