Types of magic and witchcraft - magical traditions and the difference between black and white magic.

Magic is the ability to coordinate energy processes, which is helped by a developed will.

Types of magic and witchcraft

light magic

In this type of magic, light energy is used, which is aimed at protecting other creatures, fighting evil. Light magic includes shield magic, magic of love, sacrifice and compassion, light spells. There are several types of white magic:

Healing. Treatment of even the most hopeless diseases, as well as the evil eye and spoilage, which are very often the causes of diseases.

Herbalism. Magicians not only know all about the healing power of herbs, but also know how to release the magic contained in plants.

Conspiracies. Conspiracies of White magic are read during the growing or waning moon. The waxing moon promotes creation and increase, while the waning moon promotes destruction. In any case, conspiracies are aimed solely at the good.

Dark magic

In black magic, dark energy is used, which is aimed at causing physical and psychological harm to another being.

There are such types of black magic:

Practical black magic. The services of sorcerers, who almost promise their clients power over the world, have nothing to do with it.

The essence of black magic is to reach a certain level spiritual development, having reached which, a person receives the right to invoke and control dark forces, to achieve their goals with their help.

Infliction of damage. Black magic is used to cause damage, which contributes to the emergence of various diseases in a person and even the imminent approach of death.

Spells. Book markets and shops offer their customers literature with Black Magic spells. But is it worth buying and, moreover, using them? Improper use of spells threatens a person's life.

Conspiracies. As in white magic, conspiracies for love, for money, for good luck are used in black. But the difference lies in the way in which this is achieved.

What are the types of damage

Energy damage. With such damage, the object is affected at the energy level. When inducing damage, ritual tools are not used. The main tool is the mind of the magician.

Church damage. This damage is done to a person in the church. Previously, sorcerers said that the creation of churches is the work of the Devil, and therefore churches are intended for dark magicians. There are many rituals that need to be performed in the church. This type of damage is effective.

The strongest damage-lining. The execution of this damage occurs with the help of a certain thing that has been prepared in advance. The magician reads the slander, and the thing becomes charged with negative energy. There are pads in magic in the form of a fork, coals, hair and even bones. A thing can bring minor troubles to an enemy, or it can completely destroy the enemy. As soon as this ingot negative energy appears in the victim's house, damage immediately comes into action.

Damage using a doll. This type of damage is characterized by the fact that the image of the enemy and the doll are associated. The victim feels all the tests that the doll goes through. The use of dolls is a practice of many cultural traditions. The essence of this type of damage is to associate the image of the enemy with the doll.

Corruption using the energy of the dead. This ritual is related to necromancy. During the implementation of damage, interaction with the spirits of the dead occurs. The sorcerer either asks or forces the spirit to harm or destroy the victim.

As you can see, magic is not a joke at all. Before you turn to her, you need to think 100 times.

Chapter 1

This section is dedicated to some types of magic. Here you can find materials for improving existing and acquiring new skills in the field of magic. But be careful with your desires and ambitions, because magic is a dangerous and mysterious area of ​​\u200b\u200bknowledge that is beyond reality.

Let's define the terminology. When the conversation turns to those matters in which the interlocutors are not experts, there are some discrepancies and a general misunderstanding. Often you can observe people who are far from medicine, arguing specifically on medical topics, and people who are far from management issues. social groups arguing about high politics. And if not many dare to call themselves experts in the field, for example, archeology or computer technology, then almost every second believes that one way or another understands politics, medicine, magic and parenting. But since we are still talking about phenomena that pass through the class of phenomenal and unknowable scientifically, in particular about what many call magic, it would not be bad to define the formal side of the subject of conversation.

From the point of view of the areas of manifestation of magic, its adherents can give their private, sometimes mutually exclusive definitions and will be right in their own way. However, I would like to start from the fundamental. In order to understand the types of magic, you need to know what magic is in general, how to determine your own magical abilities, what is the purpose of the magician and the basic laws of magic. This is where we'll start.

Manifestations of magic

So, you want to do magic and are not quite sure if you have the right qualities. Or you are already in and you need a hint if your business is progressing well in the field of magical craft. We hasten to console you, even if you have not found the necessary signs of a magical gift in yourself, do not despair. Magic can and should be learned in the same way as skating, playing the violin or drawing. You will not become an outstanding wizard, for this you still need some kind of gift, but being an ordinary magician is also very good. There are a lot of manifestations of the magical gift. And if with the explicit ones, such as telekinesis, teleportation, everything is more or less clear, then with the implicit ones ...

Please note that you have a magical gift if:

1) you are constantly lucky;

2) when approaching electronic devices, they either start to act up, or, conversely, start to work better, and this happens all the time;

3) you often have prophetic dreams;

4) you feel the feelings of others;

5) you can heal with your hands;

6) you are constantly reacting to danger before it occurs;

7) you know in advance about most events;

8) animals react strangely to you;

9) your eye color changes;

10) your eyes glow in the dark;

11) the one who makes you feel bad is always punished with something;

12) in a black and white photograph you have strange pupils or several of them;

13) you have strange marks on your body;

14) your grandmother or you are often called a witch;

15) strange legends of your family;

16) when you walk down the street, the lights go out first, and then light up again;

17) you need the door to be necessarily closed, and the open door annoys you (or the door must always be open, and the closed door annoys you);

18) some say that strange warmth comes from your hands;

19) you can feel whether the electronic device is turned on.

Of course, in order for the power of this gift to grow, it must be trained. Also, other people can determine the presence of a gift, if you bring your hand closer to the coccyx area. You will feel a strange warmth.

Heat can also be felt in the genital area, but it is weaker.

From the house or apartment where a strong magician or witch lives, cockroaches disappear, but spiders appear. Cockroaches are very sensitive to strong manifestations of magic in any form.

What is magic?

Translated from Greek, the word "magic" (mageia) means "witchcraft", "sorcery". In turn, the Greek word "magus" (magos) comes from the Vendian mod, meaning "clergyman", "priest", the same root in the Chaldean language means "powerful", "omniscient".

Often, magic is presented as knowledge transmitted to people in ancient times by celestial beings. Indeed, the traditions of magic have accompanied humanity since the Neolithic. Traces of inventory of natural magic are found in the burials of the Paleolithic era. Civilizations arose and died, to replace religions with many gods of Egypt and Ancient Greece came religious teachings about a single god of the Jews, Christians and Muslims. Time has erased a lot from memory: the names of cities and peoples, legends about catastrophes and the greatest achievements of thinkers. But the fear of magic remained. Having survived an unthinkable number of centuries, magical symbols and concepts did not “freeze out” along with mammoths and Neanderthals, did not disappear in the abyss of the sea along with Atlantis, did not disappear in the Flood. Magic only improved in time, replenished with new techniques, but never lost its fundamental principle.

An indirect confirmation of the existence of some unified system of sacred knowledge since prehistoric times can be the fact that, completely independently of each other, shamans and priests of various tribes of Yakutia, Australia, South America, Africa had the same ideas about the mystical structure of the world and man, about the spirits of dead people, about the spirits of nature. Practically in all ancient cultures there was a conditional division of the world into three components. The Slavic sorcerers called these three regions Prav, Yav and Nav. The magicians of Ancient Judea spoke about the same areas when they suggested to the heralds of the Mosaic covenant the idea of ​​heaven, earth and the underworld.

In the era of antiquity, science is gradually divided into materialistic and idealistic directions, the theory of self-knowledge, in turn, is divided into positivism and mysticism, the fundamental basis of these directions was the most ancient magical knowledge. Pythagoras, Empedocles, Democritus, Plato and many other famous ancient materialist philosophers embarked on long journeys, and, returning, emphasized their respect for magic and kept their knowledge of it in big secret. It is known, for example, that Pythagoras and Plato went to the sanctuaries of Memphis, traveled almost all of Syria, all of Egypt, Judea, visited the schools of the Chaldeans in order to have an idea of ​​the great and mysterious principles of magic.

The famous medieval philosopher Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa in his work “Occult Philosophy” (1533) spoke about magic like this: “Magic embraces the deepest contemplation of the most secret things, the knowledge of all nature. It teaches us how things differ from one another and how they agree. Magic is the possibility of having a very great power, full of sublime secrets and containing the deepest knowledge of the most secret things: their nature, their powers, their qualities, their actions, their differences and their relationships, whereby it produces its wonderful effects, combining and applying various properties of higher and lower beings; therefore magic is the most complete science, philosophy, the most sublime and the most mysterious .... "

Magical knowledge is inherent in the very nature of man, like reason or the instinct of self-preservation. In order to exist simultaneously in distant corners of the Earth, magical knowledge must be innate, otherwise time would have erased it from human memory long ago, as happened with so many cultures and languages, so each of us is a magician from birth. It's just that today the magician inside us had to make room to make room for a civilized, rationally thinking person.

It would seem that we have completely forgotten the ancient knowledge, just like we forgot the skills of a hunter and gatherer. However, as soon as a person gets seriously lost in the forest, he immediately begins to behave like his prehistoric ancestors, unless, of course, he succumbs to panic. In the same way, only a strong psychological shock will make it impossible to rationally approach the world, and we remember our magical nature.

The purpose of the magician

Each of us has a role to play in life. For someone this role will be episodic, for someone the main one, but for no one it will be unnecessary. Which one it turns out to be depends on your purpose. “Some people seem to be naturally lucky, while others seem to be under an invisible curse. It does not depend on the mind, or on courage, or on anything else. That is why so many bad people achieve everything in life, and so many good people suffer undeservedly.

Purpose is the thread that guides you through your life from cause to effect. Simply put, a purpose is what you have to accomplish in your life. All of us and everything that surrounds us are parts of a single whole, interacting with each other. The essence of the destination can be represented as a mathematical equation with many unknown and known variables, random variables and constants connected by various mathematical operations that lead the equation to a result, which in turn is itself part of another equation. The structure of the destination is not permanent, and it can be changed in the course of the decision, and it itself changes due to the presence of random factors. Therefore, the destination is so complicated that no one can calculate it with absolute accuracy. The course of things is always unpredictable, but the idea of ​​presenting the destination in the form of a scenario is close to the truth. You can launch a paper plane without knowing exactly where it will fall and what its exact trajectory will be, but you can assume that if you launch it up, it will fly up for a while before falling down.

The equation of destination is created by many factors, and only a few of them can be influenced. Magic is an attempt to influence these factors in order to control the destination. The more powerful the magician, the more factors, people, places or things that he can influence. No magician can see or predict how the whole equation of destiny will be solved. Magicians can see its individual members, the most powerful see parts of this equation, but even they are not given to grasp it in its entirety, just as the cell of the body is not given to know what it is a part of. Destiny is created by the laws of the universe, and only they can change it.

Prophecy is nothing but parts of some destiny seen by someone. The prophecies cannot tell exactly how, what exactly, and when exactly this will happen. Imagine playing tag. There are many ways to build.

Unordered numbers in a known order and achieve the desired result, but depending on the degree of disorder, these methods will be different. It is the same with the fulfillment of prophecies. The scenario of the fulfillment of the prophecies will always be different, as it depends on many largely random factors and is rebuilt along the way. Fulfillers of prophecy are people for whom the fulfillment of prophecy is part of their destiny. There are always such people, as long as there is a possibility of the fulfillment of the prophecy, but only those whose life takes place at the moment of the coincidence of all the conditions for the fulfillment of the prophecy become direct executors. In other words, the solution of this equation is possible only after receiving the result from the previous one. And how and when exactly the previous equation will be solved, there is an unknown quantity.

Magicians themselves rarely act as the main actors executors of prophecy. They have a different fate. Their role is always secondary. They help people, but they don't do everything for them. Even if they do something heroic, people won't understand it. People are used to expecting something supernatural from magicians, so they will not be able to appreciate their deed, since for ordinary people only people like them can be heroes, even if they perform outstanding deeds. Wizards have their own heroes.

For the fulfillers of the prophecies, the process of fulfilling their destiny must be accidental. Lucky here, unlucky there, yesterday I was there, and today I am here. But if we look at their path from the outside, we will see that everything they do brings them closer to the fulfillment of their destiny, regardless of whether they themselves want it or not. They can go right or left, forward or backward, they can stay in place - in any case, they are approaching the result. There are many variables in the destination equation, by manipulating which you get the result you need. For example, you can get the number 2 different ways: 1 + 1; 3–1; 4–2; 3 / 3 + 1; 2 x 1; 1 + 3–2; 4–2 + 1–1, etc. The more variables, the more options. Therefore, in order for several fulfillers of one prophecy to meet, from different corners countries do not have to drag everyone to a strictly defined place. They must meet - this is a fact, but the time and place of the meeting can be random. The solution to the equation is important, not the way it is solved. Let's say one of the participants in the prophecy is seriously injured and drops out of the game for a while. In this case, the fulfillment of the destination does not stop. This variable is declared constant, and this part of the equation is solved by operating on other variables. Although it may be different: if it is intended that the prophecy be fulfilled with the participation of the whole team, then “by pure chance” there will be a doctor who will cure the wounded, and again “by pure chance” there will be a vehicle on which this cured participant in the prophecy catch up with his comrades. If one of the fulfillers of the prophecy is threatened by a deadly situation, and he is destined to survive, then he “by pure chance” will have a way to save himself. Approximately, thus, the destination operates.

You ask, they say, what is the use of a magician from someone's destiny, why does he interfere with it? Firstly, he himself may be interested in the fulfillment (non-fulfillment) of this mission and feel able to change something in it. Secondly, he himself, with his actions, can be part of the destiny, without suspecting it. Thirdly, he may just be interested in following changes in causal relationships and observing how the changes he makes affect the course of events. There are probably other reasons as well.

The magician's way of influencing the course of a destiny is much the same as that of the destiny itself - it's working on variables and including random factors in the equation. For example, the enemy destroyed the bridge across the abyss. The fulfillers of the prophecies will spend a lot of time looking for another transition and, accordingly, will not be in time for the appointed time at the appointed place. In this case, having restored the bridge, the magician negates the actions of the enemy, and thus is the variable in the equation of destination, which balances the result of the previous one. As you can see, if the bridge had not been destroyed, there would have been no need for a magician. If the magician gives the executor of the prophecy some magical artifact and he uses it, then this, in turn, gives rise to a different chain of cause-and-effect relationships than in the absence of this artifact.

So the destination can be influenced, but this influence does not change its essence. none of equation variables purpose or action on them is not the main in itself. Only their interaction gives the desired result.

What is magic? At least once in a lifetime, each of us thought about this concept. Maybe this is the oldest pseudoscience on Earth, which gave rise to the development of all existing scientific and pseudoscientific areas? Or maybe this is a sacred mysterious doctrine about ways to influence nature, people, animals and gods with the help of supernatural forces? Or is it just a beautiful fairy tale for people who cannot or do not want to live without believing in miracles?

Magic Models

On the way to explore the possibilities of new, more effective types of technology in magic, a systematic approach to the history of magic turns out to be very useful. After all, magicians have always sought to describe the theory and practice of magic in the language of their time, that is, with the help of different models that corresponded to the views of the world of that time.

However, there is a certain risk in this: in reality, the models do not accurately describe anything, they are only illustrations of the process, although sometimes very useful in practice. Moreover, excessive systematization can overshadow rather than clarify something. One should not make a common mistake and confuse the map with the area that is shown on it, which is what the followers of Kabbalah have always suffered.

Thus, the proposed five models of magic should be seen as an attempt to understand the practical possibilities of various magical systems, rather than as a rigorous theory or explanation of exactly how magic works. In practice, it makes sense to consider magic with the help of the following models: spiritual, energetic, psychological, informational and metamodel.

Spiritual model

This seems to be the oldest of the magic models, although it may have appeared at the same time as the energy model. It can be found all over the world (in shamanic cults and in many other religions). It is based on the proposition about the existence of other worlds inhabited by special entities, which are called spirits, demons, gods, etc. A shaman or magician is someone who can enter other worlds, travel through them, knows their languages ​​and features and can communicate with the creatures that live in these worlds. The most important feature This model is that all magical actions are directly carried out by spirits, and the magician only comes into contact with them. It is usually believed that spirits are invisible to an ordinary person, only a magician (shaman) can communicate with them, and his task is to make them act. This is achieved by requests, mutually beneficial exchange, and in some cases by the use of magical power, intimidation and pressure.

Other worlds may have their own geography, different from our world, but their times are usually the same as ours. The key to entering these worlds is the altered states of consciousness controlled by trance and ecstasy, which is what shamans specialize in.

The spiritual model prevails in traditional magic to this day, Franz Bardon and, with some reservations, Aleister Crowley can be considered its most prominent followers.

Energy Model

The energy model of magic appeared in the West at the end of the 18th century. thanks to the works of F. Mesmer, who was not so much an occultist as a researcher of mysterious and unknown phenomena to science. He promoted his theory of "animal magnetism", which, in his opinion, is a special force emanating from living organisms. After french revolution the movement of Mesmer's followers ceased for some time, but his ideas were not forgotten. They were borrowed by occultists who created their own theories of magic. One of the first to do this was Bulwer Lytton of the English Rosicrucian Society, who suggested the existence of a subtle energy, which he called "liar." An interesting parallel can be seen with the theories of the vitalists in biology, which appeared around the same time. Other followers of the energy model were V. Reich (his doctrine of the vital cosmic energy - orgone), Eliphas Levi, who created the doctrine of the astral light, and H. P. Blavatsky, who borrowed the concept of "prana" from the teachings of yogis (though in 1884 in Europe, a number of her letters were published, from which it followed that her many "phenomena" were a hoax). At this time, anthropologists and ethnographers used the Polynesian concept of "mana", as well as the concepts of "ki" and "chi" from the Chinese school of magic. This shows that the idea of ​​subtle energy in magic appeared long before the 18th century. In fact, it is already present in the early shamanic cults. The magic of shamans very often mixes spiritual and energy models, i.e. shamans can claim that spirits only give them strength (energy), and they already use it at their own discretion. However, the shaman himself may not need spirits or other otherworldly entities. From his point of view, the world is endowed with a living force, consisting of subtle energy. The task of the magician is to control them. All phenomena in this world are energetic in nature, so the existence of other worlds is not at all necessary. The theory and practice of magic based on the energy model is found in many authors, but mainly in Eastern magical schools.

Psychological model

Sigmund Freud's theory of the subconscious has revolutionized thinking in the West, mainly in psychology. It suddenly became clear that consciousness only partially controls a person. While psychology is still fighting for recognition as an academic science, it has already left its mark on the therapeutic disciplines and ... on magic.

The psychological model does not aim to explain how magic works. It only assumes that the subconscious mind will do its job if it is correctly formulated and pointed in the direction. This can also be achieved through a magical trance, suggestion, or the use of symbols as a tool that causes certain associations in the mind, which prompts the subconscious mind to act.

Aleister Crowley made a major breakthrough by bringing an element of psychology into magic. But despite this, he remained true to the traditional spiritual model of magic. However, this was the first attempt to explain magic in terms of psychology, which made the skeptics of that time hear him.

A more radical approach was offered by Austin Spare, whose seal magic is based on a psychological model. His system is built on the inversion of Freud's theory of complexes: by expressing his will in the form of a magical seal and forgetting it, the magician creates an artificial complex that makes his subconscious mind work in a certain way. The magician-psychologist programs symbols and various states of consciousness. He does not need the existence of other worlds or subtle energies, his practice is based on the assumption that any actions of a person are imprinted in his subconscious, and this imprint can be used.

The psychological theory of magic has also been described by such authors as Israel Regardie, Dion Fortune, William Butler, Francis King, William Gray, and Pete Carroll. In recent times, it has become the predominant model among magicians in English-speaking countries.

information model

The information model of magic has appeared quite recently. It is still unclear what direction it will take in the future. Its main provisions are as follows. Energy by itself does not produce any action. You need information about what action to perform and on what object. Only in the presence of information can energy do some work.

Information can be divided into laws of nature (including a description of the properties of an object) and indications of what action to take.

Information itself has no mass or energy. It is even possible that it propagates faster than light, not subject to restrictions in space and time, according to A. Einstein. Information can be transmitted and received at any time and in any place. It is closer to quantum than to relativistic phenomena (but this is just an analogy). In addition, information can be carried by a material carrier, which can also be a living organism.

At the beginning of the development of the information model, the postulate of morphogenetic fields was adopted, which, according to the hypothesis of Rupert Sheldrake, is the main factor explaining how information is actually transmitted. However, this is highly debatable, since it cannot be shown that a magical action can create such fields. The concept of an information matrix looks like a more likely theoretical basis for future research.

The main direction in which the information model is developing is sometimes called cybermagic, understanding cybernetics as the science of control systems. Unlike other models, cybermagic does not use magical trance to achieve its effect. Cybermages simply activate the brain and memory (their own or the object of magical influence). A magical action is the introduction of certain information into the memory of an object. At the same time, a copy of the information held by the magician himself is not lost (unlike energy). Despite its modern, unconventional take on the foundations of magic, cybermagic, oddly enough, is perhaps one of the oldest models of magic. For example, in the East there are cases when a guru, before his death, passed on knowledge to his successor during a long meditation. Thus, we see that different models of describing magic have always existed in parallel. Only the preference for one model over others has changed.

Metamodel

The meta model is not the same model as the previous ones. Rather, it describes exactly how to use other models of magic. Her only advice to mages is to always use the model that best suits your idea of ​​magic. This is not at all taken for granted, as one might think. But first, let's look at the differences between the models on a practical example - in healing with the help of magic. In the spiritual model, the disease is explained by the introduction of an extraneous entity (spirit) into a person, which must be expelled. To do this, the shaman usually turns to his own spirits for help. If all goes well, the alien spirit leaves and the patient recovers.

According to the energy model, diseases are caused by energy imbalances. The task of the magician is to restore the normal energy state characteristic of a healthy person.

In the psychological model, diseases are considered psychosomatic in nature. In this case, the magician must in one way or another increase the patient's resistance to mental influences.

In the information model, the magician gives the patient an information matrix of recovery that will allow him to heal with his own energy. In the meta model, the magician must first decide which paradigm to use in order to begin the magical operation. This does not exclude the possibility of changing the paradigm in the course of work or using a mixed paradigm. Typically, the solution is chosen based on considerations of expediency, efficiency and personal preference. Another important point is the time factor. Rituals in the spiritual model take from half a day to several weeks or even months, while energy model operations rarely require more than a few hours. Spare's seal magic is a very fast technique in the psychological model, the magical operation takes 5 to 10 minutes. And operations according to the information model experienced magicians may take less than a second.

Many novice magicians do not like the relativity of the meta model, they want accurate, objective knowledge, absolute truth but that doesn't happen in magic.

The Laws of Magic

The laws of magic are not the product of law-making, but, like physical laws or musical harmony, are derived on the basis of centuries of practical observations.

The law of knowledge is perhaps the most widely used law, encompassing all other laws. The basis of this law is that understanding gives control. The more you know about an object, the easier it is to control it. Knowledge is power.

The law of self-knowledge is the main derivative of the law of knowledge, this law has additional shades. A magician who has no knowledge of himself cannot have knowledge (and therefore power) of his magic. This law is an illustration of why evil magicians are usually very rare: devotion to evil for evil's sake usually leads to loss of introspection and self-awareness. It's hard to harm others when you fully understand the harm it would do to you. Know yourself first.

The law of cause and effect is a simple scientific and logical conclusion: exactly the same action, performed under exactly the same conditions, will lead to exactly the same result. Magicians have as much faith in cause and effect as modern psychiatrists, they simply realize that a well-performed ritual, like a good theatrical production or a good old cooking recipe, is always predictable. In fact, spells involve so many variables that full control or even understanding of them is often impossible. The key to success in magick is learning which variables are more important, how to keep them consistent.

The Law of Synchronization - two or more events happening at the same time - seems to be more than just a coincidence. Very rarely, some events occur in isolation from others, which means that one can see magical overtones in this coincidence.

The law of association - if any two palettes that have common elements interact through these common elements, then the control of one palette contributes to the control of the other (them), depending on the number of common elements involved. This is the most important law along with the law of knowledge.

The law of similarity consists in the presence of a qualitative physical or mental image of an object that facilitates control over it. The examples are quite obvious - having a model, image, or otherwise of your target (like a witch doll) gives you the power to influence the target. What looks like is like.

Law of Contact - Objects ex friend with a friend in physical contact, continue to interact after separation. Anyone you have touched has a magical connection with you, albeit a rather weak one, until the contact becomes more intense and/or prolonged and repeated. Magical power is contagious (contagious); naturally, the possession of a part of someone's body (nails, hair, saliva ...) gives the best contact.

The law of the name is in the knowledge of the full and true name object or process to ensure control over them. This works because a name is a definition, like a contact and an association (if you call something by the same name over and over again, that name becomes associated with the object). It also works because knowing the full and true name of something or someone means that you have gained a full understanding of its nature.

The law of the power of words consists in the existence of certain words that can change the internal or external reality of the one who pronounces them, the power of which can lie both in their sound and in their meaning. Many of these words are names whose meaning has been lost or forgotten; many magical manipulations require such words to be written on an image or object and/or spoken during their construction and/or use.

The law of personification - any phenomenon can be considered alive and have a personality. This is the difference between "to be" and "to exist". Anything can be a person. Many weather magicians personify winds and clouds to focus their magical energy.

The law of circulation consists in the possibility of establishing an internal connection between processes inside and outside oneself.

The law of calling is the ability to establish an external connection between processes inside and outside of someone by calling external process during connection establishment.

The Law of Identification - through maximum association between the elements of oneself and another being, one can truly become that being, even to the point of possessing its knowledge and manipulating its power.

The law of a personal universe is that any being is free and able to create their own universe, which will never be 100% identical to that of another being. The so-called reality is, in fact, the "consensus of opinions of beings" of their own universes.

The law of infinity of universes is the absolute number of universes in which all possible combinations of the phenomenon of existence are displayed, this is infinity ... Everything is possible, although some things are more probable than others. You might think of this reference to "worlds of alternative possibilities" as science fiction, but this law has the widest possible application.

The law of pragmatism - if the range of beliefs or behavior allows the creature to survive and achieve the chosen goals, then such beliefs (combinations of behavior) are true, correct, i.e. reasonable. What works is correct. Sometimes this rule is denied, but usually applied.

The Law of True Lies - It is possible for understanding or action to violate the true spectrum of a given personal universe and still remain true, given that it "works" in a specific situation. Paradox, but this is the concept of truth. A law, basically of little use, except to justify the application of the three previous laws in the conditions of your version of the reality of the world.

The law of synthesis - the synthesis of two or more spectra of data gives a new spectrum that will be more true than either of the original ones. The synthesized spectrum can be applied to a greater number of levels of reality, being not a compromise, but something new and bigger (the systemic principle).

The Law of Polarity - Any spectrum of data can be divided into at least two opposite characteristics, and each will contain the essence of the other within itself.

The law of opposites (under the law of polarity) - the opposite spectrum contains information about another spectrum, assuming information about what the spectrum is not. So, controlling the opposite spectrum allows you to control the desired spectrum.

The law of dynamic balance - to survive, to become strong, you need to keep every aspect of your universe in a state of dynamic balance with every other aspect. Extremes are dangerous because extreme entities become so associated with borderline aspects that they lose the ability to identify outside of these aspects. Incidentally, this is another reason for the rarity of evil magicians, since the constant association with pain and death causes pain and death in the magician's universe and limits the ability of the magician in his operations.

The law of perversion - if someone can develop incorrectly, he will do so, and in the most annoying manner. Magical associations often produce the opposite of what is desired, and numerous coincidences, which should be unfavorable, work to the advantage. Even if nothing can go otherwise, some elements of the universe can change in such a way that everything just goes differently. Whether we like it or not, the gods (or fate, nature, the Absolute, or whatever) have a right to a sense of humor. An emotionally healthy magician has fewer problems with this law than others, since a lively and humorous mind is the best tutor for understanding this law.

The law of unity - any phenomenon of existence is connected directly or indirectly with any other in the past, present or future. The feeling of separateness of phenomena is based on incomplete knowledge and (or) understanding.

Why Witchcraft Doesn't Always Work

Every experienced sorcerer had to make mistakes. We grow and learn from our failures. Do not think that you just have to wish, and everything will turn out the way you want. Remember, magic always follows the path of least resistance, and if our desire is not clearly formulated, witchcraft will have no power.

The Spirit also guides us in our lives, determining our successes and failures. Suppose you want a red car so much that you are ready for anything. But the spirit knows that if you get this car, you will drive it at random. In the end, this will lead to an accident and the death of a person who has to create a cure for cancer. Then the spirit intervenes and neutralizes your desire or postpones its realization for a certain period. Unfortunately, due to our gift of free will, the spirit cannot always prevent the tragedy, but if you constantly work with the spirit, then there is a better chance of avoiding danger.

Here is another example. Larisa wanted to work in a fashion store in the city center. She made a spiritual plan, maintained a positive attitude during a job interview, and repeatedly made requests to the spirit. However, she was not accepted. Frustrated, Larisa began to analyze where she could have made a mistake. But a week later, as a college student, she was sent on an exchange to the university for the next semester. If she had taken a job, she would have had to give up continuing her studies.

The Spirit knows best what is needed for us. You must always remember that if your witchcraft does not work, and the spiritual plan is being implemented too slowly, you must not lose faith in yourself. Spirit knows what you really need, and sometimes when you least expect it, it intervenes in your life. Sometimes the spirit does this to protect us, and other times it wants to save us for another, more important mission that we have no idea about yet. If strange things suddenly begin to happen to you, do not look for black magic; better turn to the spirit. The universe is definitely trying to tell you something. Perhaps you are on the wrong path, taking a wrong turn, or making friends with people who can harm you. Sometimes the spirit has to hit us on the head with a huge broom to bring us to our senses. When we wake up, we can adjust our actions and focus on what we really need, and not harbor baseless illusions.

Types of magic

So we finally got to the actual types of magic. There are several divisions of magic into types. We will consider two classifications here:

official and most interesting - alternative. So, the official version.

Many occultists and magicians divide magic into black, white and gray. Let's take a closer look at the last system.

Black magic is a magical act aimed at committing evil or harming oneself or others.

Gray magic is a magical act aimed at doing good or doing good to yourself or others.

White magic is a magical act aimed at obtaining information, communication with higher beings and achieving harmony with the world.

However, it should be remembered that magic is one. And white magic, and gray, and black are its constituent parts.

So, if your goal is good, then it is white or gray magic, if not evil, then it is gray magic, but if your goal is evil, then it will be black magic, or Satanism.

Magic isn't originally white or black. This is what the sorcerers who use it make it. Magic is just a tool: if a person beat his neighbor with a wooden stick, no one will argue that the tree is bad. Usually white is called magic that brings good, and black, respectively, is evil. If you use magic to grow flowers in your garden, then anyone will say that this is white magic. If you grow these flowers on someone's head, then anyone will confirm that this is black magic. The magician uses both white magic and black magic.

There is a general tendency in us to give names to everything that we see around us. Based on these names, we derive further definitions. We call this kind of definition logic. However, this approach is not always correct. The name is only a symbol. The word is a symbol. The phrase is derived from characters. On the basis of phrases, definitions, we derive a logical reasoning. But what is happening, unlike symbols, carries not only one meaning. That is why words, names often carry an incorrect definition of what is happening.

In the East they say that in white there is a particle of black, and in black there is a particle of white. So it is in this case. Definition by the colors of magic determines our attitude towards magic. And our attitude to any issue may change. That is why the definitions of "white" and "black" magic cannot correctly display their meaning over a long period of time.

Perception determines the meaning of what is happening. The existing for a long time symbols for determining ongoing processes may conflict with perception. That is why the division of magic into black and white is meaningless. What was good for our ancestors, what brought development, can now lead to the opposite result. The world is changing. As the world changes, so do values. Changing the world is the reason for the unreasonable classification of magic on a two-color basis.

Magic is magic. She does not carry evil. These are the existing laws of the universe. This is what is natural. The use of magic could be considered the factor that would determine the value of magic. But even here difficulties arise, since this value would be determined by perception.

Giving an assessment to the natural process, we affirm the superiority of our assertion over nature, grossly trampling on it. But making logical constructions on the basis of such an assessment is many times more dangerous. Over time, the beginning of these constructions will be forgotten, and the unsteady definition obtained as a result will become an indisputable truth.

There is another division, when not only white, gray and black magic is distinguished, but also some other subspecies.

1. Voodoo magic. One of the most powerful types of magic. Very difficult. Only those who study it for a long time own it. Voodoo magic includes such complex spells as changing the appearance, transforming body parts (changing the nose, eyes, eyebrows, etc.), as well as reincarnation, moving into the body (not occupied by the soul).

2. Light magic. One of the simplest parts of it. Complex spells - a minimum, the simplest - a maximum. Simple spells like search spells, start fires, move objects. In a word, magic for beginners.

3. Dark magic. A modernized form of magic. Tons of complex spells. The most common is killing in different ways (cardiac arrest, etc., etc.). Calling spirits is also a common spell (there are many of them). Memory Wipe - This spell was at one time the most feared (it is irreversible). Almost all dark magic spells are prohibited.

4. love magic. Love magic is a special section of magic that uses only spells for withering, disgust, jealousy, etc. Most of them are forbidden, and not forbidden - sympathy spells - are simple light magic spells.

5. Intuitive magic. Very poorly studied. It is most often possessed by those who have never used or studied magic. Intuitive magic is discovered (manifested) by chance. It appears most often at a moment of intense rage or deep sadness. She is very powerful and uncontrollable. In many cases, it is irreversible.

6. Animagia. This is an innate form of animal transformation magic.

A very complex form of magic. Even those who have the Animagus talent cannot develop it. Animagi most often hide their appearance or their Animagus trait. Animagia is a poorly understood branch of magic.

Many Animagi are in hiding. Only about a dozen registered Animagi are known, but they are said to be in the hundreds.

In this classification, subsections of magic are distinguished.

1. Potions of magic are used in all sections of magic, from healing and tinctures of love, to powerful poisons and reincarnation. Making potions is very difficult. It is most often used when it is impossible or very difficult to use ordinary magic.

2. Corruption - a part of dark magic used to cause harm, ranging from the simplest acne on the nose and flippers instead of legs, ending with the strongest evil eye. The study of corruption is not so difficult, but it also requires a certain talent. In laying corruption, the main thing is internal emotions: anger, return with anger, etc.

3. Healing magic - the highest section of light magic. Despite the simplicity of studying light magic, its most complex spells are located in this section. In order to understand and study this magic, you need a maximum of perseverance and dedication. Healing magic is based on the treatment of both people and animals.

4. Curses are anathemas of the highest degree. The highest section of voodoo magic. Curses are similar to corruption, but corruption is nothing compared to the power of the curse.

Features of curses - their duration. There is the possibility of imposing a curse and after 30 or more years of activating it. If the caster of the curse dies, the curse triples its power. Usually all magicians cast curses and then died, and they imposed them for up to 600 years. Curses can only be canceled by the caster.

However, this division of magic is not universally accepted and is rather alternative. Magicians themselves prefer to share not magic, but magicians: they are black, and white, and gray, as well as many others. According to the existing classification according to magical abilities, conditionally all magicians can be divided into three groups: seekers, healers and arbiters.

Seekers. The main task is to obtain information about something or someone. Very high sensitivity and very large target detection radius, but very low operating energy. They can only partially use the information received. Usually they look for treasures, missing things, missing people and animals, predict the future, etc.

Healers. The main task is healing in all forms (physical, mental, magical) not only of people, but also of animals and the entire biosphere as a whole. Very high sensitivity to biological objects in a small radius, long-term use of small energy flows.

Doers. The main task is global protection from natural man-made and magical disasters associated with the mass death of living beings. They have almost the entire range of magical gifts, but only those gifts that are constantly used by them are developed. Executors have an average sensitivity and an average target detection radius, they operate with ultra-high energies in an ultra-short time, they can easily destroy something and influence the whole world, but due to insufficient sensitivity they can break firewood. Therefore, it is better for them to work in tandem with a seeker, and the help of a healer will not be superfluous.

Towards outside world all magicians can be divided into black, white and gray.

The definitions of the concept of magic are countless. However, each of them characterizes this word in its own way. According to one of the definitions, magic is a science created many centuries ago. Based on the collected knowledge, conspiracies, love spells and other mysterious rituals are performed.

Magic - what is it?

WITH Greek the word "magic" is translated as "magic" or "witchcraft". If you delve even more into history, then the word has the root "magus", which in Zend means "priest" or "priest", and from the Chaldean - "omniscient", "powerful", "mighty". IN different sources it is mentioned that magic is a single secret system of knowledge, which was given to mankind by the will of higher powers. The proof is that in different parts of the world priests, ministers and shamans had similar ideas about the structure different kind matters, about the universe, human essence and the spiritual component of life.

The idea of ​​a magical essence is the initial bookmark in the human mind. For example, like all sorts of instincts. The tendency of mankind to the occult as a whole explains the fact of the emergence of such knowledge among people. different nationalities, religions living on opposite sides of the planet.

If we take into account the fact that in ancient times the level of education and civilization was much lower among the population, then great importance was attached to conjecture, conjecture, and not rational thinking. Generally speaking, magic is knowledge that was originally given to man by nature.

Truth and lie

A lot of real facts, as well as fictional myths surrounds this mysterious concept. Some people are indeed endowed by nature with unusual abilities, but most still just make money from it. Magic is profitable business, which has long been known to those who made good money in this way. For example, at all times there was an incredible, although unjustified demand for folk healers and healers. Yes, there were indeed people among them who had the gift of healing the sick. But along with them, side by side, were those who simply profited from human grief. There have always been more than enough charlatans in the field of magic. Since the people were not educated for the most part, it was quite difficult to distinguish a professional magician from an impostor.

black and white

There is a division of the concept of magic depending on the direction of influence. Black magic is an activity associated with dark forces. Attributes of rituals of this type are fragments of living flesh, blood and similar objects. With the help of black magic, they often make a love spell, evil eye, damage, and so on. Its practitioners are commonly referred to as sorcerers. White magic is an action for good purposes. With its help, they often treat, eliminate the consequences of the influence of dark forces. Although even professional magicians find it difficult to define the boundaries between dark and light.

Depending on what type of sorcery the figure belonged to, he needed to observe the appropriate lifestyle. For example, sorcerers and shamans had to consciously avoid religious symbols. And healers and magicians - on the contrary, adhere to the righteous canons and carry the good news to the masses.

Therapeutic

Magic is a connection with which can be permanent or one-time. The latter type is usually used by healers and healers at the time of curing the patient. IN ordinary life These people, as a rule, do not betray anything. However, at the moment when the spell begins, healers rely on God's will, being a kind of tool for the manifestation of higher power.

Healing magic is the influence of the Almighty on ailments through communication with an earthly healer. This is a powerful flow of energy that is concentrated in the area of ​​​​pain thanks to the efforts, prayers and spells of the healer. Words for such rituals are not chosen in vain. Each individually and all together they carry a charge of energy, with the help of which the patient is treated.

How do black magicians work?

In the same way, sorcerers act, joining the dark forces during the performance of rituals. Only in contrast to white magic, in black magic, the principle of withdrawal is applied. The sorcerer first takes the dark force upon himself in order to commit a conspiracy, and then, through a spell, redirects the flow of negative energy to the victim.

Representatives of black magic have incredible power. It also lies in the fact that magic is a belief in witchcraft. When a person accepts the existence of the other world and higher powers, it is easiest to influence him. In other words, the power of the dark forces lies in the people's fear of it. makes a person vulnerable and open to the influence of spirits.

Sorcerers do not always have a connection with the other world of their own free will. Often spirits, demons and devils try to get into the world of people with their help. For this reason, sorcerers often hear voices, they have nightmares, visions happen. All this is a manifestation of dark power. Satanism is often referred to as black magic.

Required training

Magic is the developed or innate ability to coordinate and accumulate energy flows using the power of one's own will. Such a skill, even if it is given from the very beginning, should be trained. That is why often magicians and sorcerers in the process of life are deprived of any skills or functions, such as vision. At the same time, they receive in return the sensitivity of energy vibrations. A magician or sorcerer simply does not need vision if his center is tuned to perceive a person's appearance by the waves that he radiates.

In addition to white and black magic, there is another variety of it - gray. It includes actions aimed at good and good.

Other types: description

There is also sympathetic magic. It is based on the principle of interaction of various objects, things and ways of behavior. This type of magic is divided into the following subspecies: contact, initial, simil (or imitative), contagious (or partial).

The first subspecies is characterized by the transmission of an energy message by direct contact with the object of influence. Attributes are a talisman, a talisman, all kinds of drugs.

Initial magic is carried out on the basis of the faith of the magician or sorcerer in a higher goal, as well as through rituals with and spells. Thus, they are often attracted to the victim.

Simile (imitative) view is characterized by the redirection of damage from the dead to the living. Attributes are soft dolls or wax figures, symbolizing the victim. A ritual is performed over them, as a rule, consisting in the pronunciation of a spell and the infliction of the type of mutilation that is intended for a living person.

The contagious (partial) variety is used when working with the personal belongings of a person who is subjected to a magical effect. Attributes are both items of clothing, and hair, blood, and so on. These things and elements are subject to conspiracies and spells, after which, having reached the victim in an invisible way, they begin their work as a conductor of dark power.

Verbal

Another active type is verbal magic. There is another name for it - the power of the word. Verbal magic is the impact on a person by spoken aloud (or mentally) phrases. One of the most famous and widespread attributes of this variety is prayer. It is not for nothing that from time immemorial mothers have uttered healing phrases at the head of a sick child. Just like the dark forces have always been driven out with the help of prayers.

The attributes of verbal magic also include affirmations. These are program settings expressed in words, the focus of which is to set the human consciousness to accept, comprehend and achieve the goal.

Another type of paraphernalia are spells. Vocabulary code embedded in phrases certain order, has a special meaning. Therefore, much attention is paid to conspiracies, sayings and even wishes. A person should, without ceasing, hear himself, as often as possible, clear his space of abusive words and negative statements. So everyone can improve own life making it easier for you to reach your goal.

Many famous people resort to the affirmation method before important meetings and speeches. In a similar way, they tune their body and energy to solve the problem.

Conclusion

Magic is the magic that is written about in fairy tales. which every person at least once felt on himself when everything fell out of his hands. But there is opposition to it. This is faith in yourself and in the forces of light.

Magic around us

Magic surrounds us from birth to death.

In our life there is always a place for a miracle or the unknown, and sooner or later every person tries to learn magic and apply this knowledge in his life.

There are different types and directions of magic.

sympathetic magic- is based on the existence of a direct connection between the existing inanimate objects of the world and various forms of behavior.

Sympathetic magic is divided into several subspecies:

1. Contact magic- this is a certain power that is transmitted or given to a person through direct interaction with the carrier of an imaginary magical power, this includes the wearing of amulets and talismans, the use of prepared magical potions and infusions.

2. Initial magic- during magical manipulations, only the beginning of the action is reproduced, its ending is assigned to the power of magic. An example is the actions of an Australian sorcerer who, wanting to strike an enemy representing a neighboring tribe, performs the following procedure: he directs a sharpened wand in the direction of the enemy and whispers curses, he expects that after this action the enemy will be slain by a quick death, or will die for a long time from painful illness.

3. Imitative magic It is based on the principle of philosophy that like produces like. This type of magic is common among Voodoo priests, who, in order to cause as much harm as possible to their opponent, prick with sharp objects into a drawn figure of a person or a made doll. According to the principle of philosophical similarity, the harm done to an image or a doll must affect the offender.

4. Contagious magic- is based on the fact that things that once came into contact with a person maintain a long and inextricable connection at a distance. An example of the use of magic can be the use of witchcraft for rituals - teeth, blood, nails, hair.

It is very difficult to distinguish between types of magic, this is due to the use of various principles at the same time when conducting witchcraft rites.

Theurgy- associated with animistic beliefs in demons. When conducting magical rituals, the magician, sorcerer, or shaman seeks help from the deity or even makes attempts to subdue the spirit, which must fulfill the desired.

Psychiurgy- implies a magical effect on the soul of the person himself. This concept includes various techniques for taking divine imaginary forms: hypnotism, mediumship, magnetism, telepathy, astral projection.

Magic and religion

Official religions Christianity, Judaism, Islam recognize the existence various kinds magic, but at the same time they consider witchcraft to be a forbidden and inadmissible practice for all believers, which is carried out with the help and mediation of Satan or his messengers. In Christianity, magical procedures are called Sacraments. According to legend, the son of God Jesus Christ himself possessed magical and supernatural abilities.

Other types of magic

white magic- serves to protect people. Conspiracies and rituals of white magic help a person get rid of harmful vices. The treatment of alcoholism, drug addiction by traditional medicine does not always bring a positive result, but when performing a rite of white magic, you can help a person get rid of a terrible disease. Conspiracies of white magic can help in cases where a curse has been sent to a person or damage has been imposed.

Black magic- the complete opposite of white magic and one of the manifestations is faith in Satan and submission to his power. Black magic carries an attack on the human soul with the aim of causing harm and damage. The worst thing about black magic is recurrence negative energy to the magician who used it. Ceremonial magic refers to black magic. Its impact is based on a call for help from spirits, demons and other evil spirits. The witches' sabbath can also be attributed to the rituals of ceremonial magic.

love magic- with the help of rituals and love spells, it evokes a feeling of love.

Variety and types of Magic,as Art - Achievement of the Conceived

There are a certain number of varieties or types of Magic, the main ones of which the novice Aspirant must know in order to subsequently become able to distinguish their hierarchical gradation.

Particular attention should also be paid to the fact that real life many types of Magic are often combined with each other, uniting into a single whole, in view of which it is often difficult to distinguish between them.

The data below is intended to give only a brief description for the purpose of initial acquaintance, since a more complete guide to each type of Magic is offered to adepts at the moment when they come close to mastering one type or several of the types of Magic at the corresponding stages of Initiation.

Natural Magic - This type of Art is also called Natural (or Natural) Magic, that is Natural Magic. It studies and deals with the lowest Forces of Nature found in her three Kingdoms: Mineral, Vegetable and Animal.

The main representatives of this class of Forces are elementals - imperfect spirits of Nature and the four elements, better known as gnomes, sylphs, salamanders and undines.

It is well described in Agrippa's Occult Philosophy. It includes such branches of the occult: Botanomancy- herbal divination,

Phytotherapy herbal treatment, dowsing - determination of the presence of water, minerals, treasures, etc. with the help of a forked branch of the vine, Lithomancy, divination by stones, most of the Druidic Magic-Rune, almost all known divination is Tarot, and many other directions that we will not list here now.

Manipulative Magic - This kind of Art is called Lesser, Village Magic, and also sorcery.

It consists of all sorts of manipulations, tricks and tricks, achieved through various devices and set-up situations, which, if properly performed, can lead to changes in accordance with the will of the person.

And the results of such actions will occur naturally.; and to maintain them, replenishment is necessary, which the magician is obliged to do from time to time. The terms for the fulfillment of desires, through the use of Non-ritual Magic, are usually long, regardless of the will of the magician, for the Forces that are activated in it belong to the category of astral, and even hierostral spirits.

The magician practicing the methods of Manipulative Magic is usually equipped with an innumerable variety of things and objects necessary for his activities, from which it is clear that his inventory quantitatively exceeds the set of magical devices used in Ritual Magic. In addition, this type of Magic involves the use of special calendars that help to find out the time and nature of the Forces that are most effective on the indicated days of the year. All this and much more is possible to learn, for example, from the Grimoires, the contents of which must be correctly understood.

Sympathetic Magic. From the very first words, we will specifically stipulate this type of Art: the fact is that under its auspices it includes the following two varieties, which, although they are part of Sympathetic Magic, are at the same time independent links of a single Magical Science. The types of Magic we have named generally tend to echo each other, which must be remembered incessantly.

Here is what George Fraser said on this subject: "Both varieties of magic - Homeopathic and Contagious - can be designated by a single term - Sympathetic magic, since in both cases it is assumed that, thanks to secret sympathy, things act on each other at a distance and the impulse is transmitted from one to the other through the astral light, which is still called the invisible ether ("Od" of the Martinists, the "amniotic fluid" of the Kabbalists; not to be confused with the ethereal plane of being, which is located above the mental - author's note). This ether is not so different from the ether, the existence of which is modern science postulates for a similar purpose, namely to explain how things can interact with each other in a seemingly empty space. "N. Belsky, based on Frazer's words, writes:" Sympathetic Magic operates on the basis of the principle of sympathy. According to this principle, the world is viewed as a living organism, permeated with thousands of threads that connect things, objects, people and all nature with each other. Such connections are mutually directed and continuous in time, which determines the possibility of the existence of both magic (the impact on nature and people) and various fortune-telling.

We only add that at high levels of initiation, adepts comprehend fairly simplified methods of Sympathetic and Contagious Magic, based on the presence in all people of a subelement - the light body and the general interconnection of the totality of things, the creatures manifested, which owe this state of affairs to Ouroboros-God OA - "Priceless Axis Universe.

Homeopathic Magic. Let us hear the remarks of George Fraser: "This kind of magic is best described by the term Homeopathic, because the alternative term is Magic Imitative- does not exclude or even imply a consciously imitative agent, which unduly narrows the scope of Magick.

Homeopathic, or Imitative Magic can be called techniques based on the law of similarity, the lengthy formulation of which says: like produces like, or the effect is similar to its cause. From the law of similarity, the magician concludes that he can perform any desired action by simply imitating him, for example, inflict injuries on a person by influencing his image - a wax figure, any personal item, a photograph, a portrait ... Homeopathic Magic is based on the connection of ideas by similarity ".

Contagious Magic.George Fraser gives the following data regarding this type of Magic: "Contagious magic can be called techniques based on the law of contact, the full formulation of which is this: things once come into contact with each other continue to interact at a distance after the cessation of direct contact. What would whatever happened to one of them, the same must happen to the other.Based on this law, the magician concludes that whatever he does with the object will have an effect on the person who once was in contact with this object (as part of his body or otherwise).Contagious magic is based on the connection of ideas by contiguity". Belsky develops his words: “So, there is a connection between a person and his hair, nails, clothes, traces left by him, etc. According to the same principle, Magic force from the source to the object of influence (wearing amulets and talismans)". It should be noted, however, that human energy, like any other energy (for example, static electricity), transferred or imprinted on any object, loses its original charge over time and dissipates, which is why experts in Manipulative Magic recommend refreshing magic ingredients once a year every famous days and this is why in Ritual Magic one must not forget to "recharge" the talismans.

Operational Magic. Names synonymous with this type of Art are: Magic Ceremonial or Ritual, Greater or Higher, Theurgy, Akleosta-Adlantic word for "Magic", and also Magic Transcendental according to Eliphas Levi. Among the Jews it corresponds to Kabbalistic Magic, or practical Kabbalah.

In the words of Crowley, "Magic Operative uses two methods of establishing communication with Beings: invocation and evocation." There are others, but they belong to the higher varieties, such as Divine Magic, Death Magic, and Point Magic. La Vey describes it this way: “Ritual magic consists of performing a formal ceremony or a script composed by the magician himself in all respects balanced in all respects, the implementation of which requires entering certain states and feelings - author's note. Its main function is to isolate adrenaline or other dissipated in other cases emotionally evoked energy and turn it into a dynamically transmitted force. This is a purely emotional, rather than intellectual act. Any and all intellectual activity should take place in a ceremony, and not during it.

It is also appropriate to mention that High Magic deals with Forces that are an order of magnitude superior to elementals., and therefore the timing of the fulfillment of the desires of the magician who deals with her is usually quick and swift, although they depend solely on his skillful leadership. Elemental spirits, however, are narrow-minded specialists, experts in their fields, with whom it is much easier to contact than with demons, with the exception, perhaps, of the lower ones.

Sexual Magic. The same as the Magic of Love. She uses the love spiritual energy of excitation of the magician - a man at the moment of his highest controlled attraction to a woman, brought to exaltation through special techniques, and natural sexual desire, directing it with the help of ritual actions. It also uses auric forces that are awakened in intimate contacts with a couple performing the ceremony in known bodily positions and according to a predetermined scheme. Sexual Magic uses majestic Black Masses, but has nothing to do with orgies in which the unbridled lower human nature plunges its riders into various excesses and perversions! Divine Magic.

One of the highest for flesh-clad Aspirants of the types of Magic as an Art, which we have symbolically called Magic Perfect or Universal.

About her, except for the Atlanteans, few of the authors have said anything, because her methods of achievement are incredibly simple, although they require a fairly strong development of the spiritual instruments of the adept and bring lightning-fast, sometimes, results to those who are able to master them.

Divine Magic puts into use a powerful creation in a dream, in a projection due to the manipulation of auric vortices and light pillars, as well as thought, which makes the initiate prepared, for example, for a psychic attack at any time and in any place. The connection with your true Self is established here through automatic writing according to Crowley - through "Achieving Knowledge and Conversation with your Holy Guardian Angel", with the innermost "I" by receiving insights in the mental field.

Death Magic. It can be called the Magic of Silence and Power, the echoes of which can be seen in the Enochian language, if you look at its substrate, by the way, the Enochian form of speech, based on the relationship of letters in their correct arrangement, in principle does not contain words as such; its so-called "lexical units" are misinterpreted by all interpreters, since each letter of this language reflects a certain idea and is textually expressed in several sentences, and even a whole paragraph. Similarly, the "words" of the androgynous language are composed and parsed. The magic of Death makes the adept who uses it, focused on being in the present moment, equal to the inhabitants of the Threshold, for the very desire for such is often enough an instant result. An aspirant who has comprehended these techniques cannot be taken by surprise - he can always be engaged in magical activities, as soon as he needs it; and moreover, he is constantly ready to inflict an early astral strike, preventing any attacks of enemies, since he mastered the Magic of Death and is in contact with the Ancients - beings, the world of the dead, warning him of any adverse changes due to their gift of foresight of future events. The main difficulty in comprehending this type of Magic lies in the fact that a person - a creature with a huge set of moods and states - must go in cycles in just one of them, which will become possible only after overcoming his element and forcing it into obedience by passing through the galaxy powerful curses that can negatively affect his psyche. The most difficult type of Magic to master.

Point Magic. Point Magic, which can also be conditionally called - Symbolic Magic, is entirely borrowed from the Adlantic magical tradition, methods and methods of influencing oneself, people and Nature through work with astral charts and mystery tablets, based on the Forces of the Universe, enclosed in a hieroglyphic system. It is directly related to the androgynous Sefirot Tree, which is why its effects are appropriate. The principle of its operation is such that when a certain combination of previously charged symbols is sequentially set by the consecrated magical Pointer, a contamination vibration arises, directed to achieve the necessary change. This type of Magic is also valued because of the dynamism with which any such operation is carried out. Its development is impossible without open feelings.
