| Magic (real magic, not magic tricks) is real. Magic is simply the manipulation of energy, so you can never physically see it happening, rather you feel it when casting spells. So when people say: "ok then, if magic is real then show me" i cant, because i cant show them energy. And if they say: "Well then magic isn't real" then they're basically saying that energy isn't real, which means that science has lied to us. Because science has proven that energy exists. So if magic isn't real then neither is science. But anyway, magic also works by like attracting like. What that means is that if you decide to see if magic is real and you cast a spell and you dont believe it will work, then it wont. Why should the Gods allow magic to work for a non-believer? Its kind of like Jesus answering the prayers of a satanist. Makes no sense, the same applies to Wicca and magic. So to put it simply, magic is real.....its nothing more than manipulated energy. |

"why would the gods allow magic to work for a non-believer?" |
What a bunch of gobbledygook. You actually follow that circular logic in your own head? Jammix, read those quotes of yours a few times and tell me you don't get dizzy from the spin!
Magic is tricks, not energy. Energy is energy. When it's manipulated you can test it. If you cant' test it then you're blowing smoke. |

I'm not going to fight you on my beliefs. This is my religion, if you think its "gobbledygook" then thats good for you. For me, I am Wiccan so magic is very real to me and I practice it every day. Magic tricks is one thing, Wiccan magic is another. You dont believe, thats fine. I dont downgrade your religion so i suggest you dont downgrade mine. |

| I guess one has to ask what type of magic, since this is asked under "arts and lesure, I would assume they are talking about pulling a rabbit out of your hat and so on.
That is tricks, and great ones, I worked with one 20 years ago, they did a mind reading thing, then some magic tricks and the such.
If you are asking about "Magic" as done though a religious practice, this is another argument that can get heated since there are many opinons about it.
Since the bible warns Christians from the evil of it, I would have to say i beleive it can be real or we would not have been warned against it |
