Saint Michael and Satan, Ahuramazda and Ahriman, Push and Pull, Life and Death, Yin and Yang. Light and Dark. I know what you're all thinking. "This light magick vs. dark magick bs again? How many times to I have to explain that they're on a spectrum?" So yeah, I'm not even on that subject.

I've been thinking about this pretty much as long as I've been in the occult and a book I just read (trashy literature which I'm sure none of you would like xD) that discussed the very essences of Light and Darkness, of Good and Evil. I've been toying with ideas here. The discussion: Is it possible to manifest one of these forces? No, I don't mean generating light or turning one off (or should I refer to that as generating darkness?), I mean could I, when faced with an inherently evil entity such as a demon, invoke Light as I would Earth or Water to battle its Darkness? Or vice versa, if I infuriated an angel (I can't imagine how I would do that, but this is all hypothetical) could I invoke Darkness to battle its Light? No, I don't mean calling spirits, and I don't consider that an option for me (It's a personal decision on my part). I mean calling on the elemental forces, as I when I want to move a storm or the like. Then I don't call on the spirits, just the components of existence. I've done a little work with light and it's been pretty beneficial to me (staving off the haunting in my house, etc.). I have never personally experienced the anger of a light-oriented being, but in principle the same thing should work with darkness.

So the reason this is in the discussion forum and not the sorcery forums is I think this should be discussed...

Are light and dark elements? Can they be invoked like air, water, earth and fire? Or is light just a form of psionics?
