What is magic?

simoneaugie · Apr 3, 2008, 01:39 AM

Could someone please explain that:

Magic is different than Magick which is different than devil worship.

I'd explain my view of the difference, but don't want to get "thumped" anymore.

Thanks in advance

thx for the info

I dont think there hasnt been anything I havent read on this man, not because I liked what he stood for, but because he could have had done more with his intelligence ( was always searching and hoping maybe he had, but not) for the good of society; he was very selfish. I think he would have fashioned himself after his contemporary Edgar Cayce, but then Cayce was truly ahead of his time.

I read somewhere that it is believed that Aliester Crowley killed his colleague and friend (well, supposed friend) Samuel Liddell Mathers. I think I read it in either "The Goetia" or the "Key of Solomon the King"......maybe neither. I read it somewhere though. It said that Crowley was angry with Mathers for a reason that I don't remember and summoned a spirit to kill him. I'm not sure if it's true as I never studied the circumstances of Mathers' death. But it is interesting nontheless.......just thought I'd add that bit of info

Mathers was slaughtered during a ceremony gone terribly wrong. And it wasnt by a demon.

Magic only works for people who believe in it 100% Just don't try to cast a spell and say i hope it will work!

Magic is real. But it is hard in Earth very hard. Magick is the Satans tool we don't care about Satan. We care about good magic like healing someone or creating butterflies sensing things that evil are close.

Magic has absolutely nothing to do with Satan.
