Black Magic

Magic, regardless of how it is defined, has always held the human mind under deep sway. It is one of the few things that fall in the grey area between trickery and the unexplained.
Without having understood the exact implications of the term 'magic,' people have proceeded to define its types. The thing is people have opinions about magic, not tangible knowledge and so they end up calling good magic 'white' and evil magic as 'black.' Although, modern sensibilities have a different understanding of the term from their medieval counterparts, the obsession with evil aspects of magic has remained. It is far more alluring to ascribe the power of Satan himself to the practioners of magic than to accept them as harmless nature worshipers. Thereby arises the concept of black magic and its capacity to send plagues on nations and destroy the sanity of populations.
In reality, there is no such thing as black magic or white magic for that matter. Magic is magic, no further classifications! The nature and application of the concepts of magic are unanimous and have no connection with good or evil. What directs the outcome towards catastrophe or benediction is the intent of the person doing the magic. Since human hearts hardly ever free of prejudice, the result of spell or ritual is affected by the practioner's bias. However, this explanation does not imply that the practioners can be segregated as 'black' and 'white.' The belief system of those who perform magic does not hold true the concept of 'absolute evil' or 'absolute good' i.e. to say they believe that a person's being is made up of good as well as bad intentions. What matters is which intention is being projected while doing magic.
Topmost among the magical practices that are most often described as 'black' are Santeria and Obeah, both of which have roots in Voodoo. Their culture of changing people in to zombie and torturing individuals by poking needles in to dolls is more an urban legend propagated by the media than reality. Voodoo, although considered very potent magic is used more in the spiritual sense than being physically harmful.

Witchcraft Magic For Children - Everyone, Brooms and Wands at the Ready!

Among the most famous children's book writer today is a British woman named Joanna Kathleen Rowling. This lady, in my opinion, is one of the greatest storytellers of our time. She was the one who brought us the amazing wizarding world of the wizard kid extraordinaire named Harry Potter, the boy who lived.
Quite aptly, I first got wind of the "Boy Who Loved" from a kid. I just finished college and was tutoring some brats when one of the said brats excitedly told me about a boy who have these amazing adventures in a school where magic was always the order of the day. Back then, I just smiled at the brat, nodded my head condescendingly, and told her to continue studying for her spelling test the next day. Well, what was I supposed to do? I was still an unenlightened muggle back then that I know Hermione would have forgiven me for my snobbery. A few months after that, one of my childhood friends excitedly handed me a book that looked suspiciously like it belonged to an encyclopedia collection. She was animatedly mumbling things like "wizard", "orphan", "spells", and "witchcraft magic" all in the same breath that I accepted the book just so she would stop babbling. And since I have never been picky when it comes to reading materials, I gladly promised her that I would check the book. So, I read the book that very night. And boy, was I surprised! Stunned! Astounded! Taken aback! The minute I opened the book and read the first page, I was hooked. I gobbled the book in just one day. (What about sleep, you ask? What "sleep"? The concept flew right out of my head when I read the word "wizard".) And by the time I got to the last page, I was grinning like I was under a laughing spell or something. I loved both the quirky and scary teachers of Hogwarts, I so wanted to hug Hagrid, and I was absolutely awed by their headmaster. And I felt so involved in the story that I really thought I would be seeing a real fire-breathing dragon flying by my window that night.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the first book in the series that I got to read was the fourth book. Well, never you mind that. Not being able to read the series in the correct sequence did not diminish any of its greatness for me. And years after I have had that first glimpse of Harry's world, the memory of it still has the power to make me giggle like a little kid. Witchcraft magic, spells, dragons, goblins, ghouls, dark wizards, magic wands, and flying broomsticks...what more could anybody wish for? And now, in between 'The Journey to Trad Witchcraft by Adrian Eglinton'wi and The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, I still find myself browsing through Ms. Rowling's brilliant masterpiece sometimes. Well, real or not, I'm glad I got acquainted with Harry Potter's magical world where pictures are like movies without sound and people could travel by just touching a smelly old boot.

Black Magic Love Spells

Magic is known to be of two types, white magic and black magic, and both have been performed since ages. White magic is mainly used to create a positive effect whereas black magic has always had a negative aspect to it. Black magic and love spells together are considered a strong combination, as black magic involves a lot of spells that help to create wonders in love related matters. Black magic has always been known as evil but black magic love spells can be used in a positive way. For instance, these spells are normally used to protect love and get back lost lovers. Hence, at times people do not refer to black magic as being evil, instead it is regarded as a concept to remove all the dark clouds from life by a different means than a white magic spell would.
Black magic love spells involve a lot of witchcraft and objects such as voodoo dolls. The most important thing that is involved to cast a black magic love spell on a person is energy. The entire black magic procedure is based on energy levels. The spells come in various types and serve different purposes. For instance, there are spells to reunite lost lovers, to have healthy marriage relations, to get back love who is with someone else, to improve love relations, to change a friend's mind and attract him towards love, and so on. Black magic love spells also include gay spells, break up spells, and lust or sex spells. Gay spells are designed to help gay and lesbian people fall in love with each other whereas lust spells helps to improve sex appeal between two lovers. Break up spells are normally used to end relationships thereby bringing an end to love amongst lovers.
There are a number of black magic love spells offered online through various websites. Some of these sites sell the spells for different prices, others give them away. People can also receive various spells from experts by giving them the concerned person's name and date of birth. Though some people do not take black magic as evil but controlling a person by crossing the line in a blatant manner is negative in every way, as it is done without the person's consent.

Magic of Making Up - Does This Actually Work?

You may have heard about the magic of making up online guide for successfully getting back with your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife. If you've had a break up and you want to get back together, you may be tempted to get this online guide and give it a try. But is it worth it? And more importantly, does it work?
Here's the lowdown on the magic of making up :
1. Where's the Magic?
I sort of was expecting an actual magic spell or a magical saying that I could recite ten times to get my girl back! But nothing of the sort. I mean, there is some "magic", in a way, but literal hocus-pocus you aren't going to find in this manual. For any "magic" to happen, you have to do more than wave a wand, rather you have to take some action, and basically follow these small steps which are all laid out and thankfully easy to understand and to follow.
2. Encouragement.
This is a bit of magic within itself and probably one of the qualities that the magic of making up doesn't get enough credit for. Think about it. You are pretty much at your lowest, having broken up with someone. Then your supposed to gather up enough gusto to try the sometimes seemingly impossible task of getting them back? Well this is where most of us will totally fail in getting back together with our lovers. We'll look at the task at hand, while we are already at a severe low self esteem state, and view it as insurmountable or we simply won't have the energy to go for it. That's actually where this guide shines. It gives you the much needed ENCOURAGEMENT to go forth and get him or her back! It really pushes you and encourages you that it can be done, and that you absolutely need to try it.
3. A Plan!
While it may lack a magic spell, what the magic of making up does have is a solid, almost fool proof plan for getting back together. I say almost fool proof because there are different factors which will depend on whether you get them back or not. But, look at it this way: If there is a plan that will get them back, then this is pretty much the one to try, and the one that will work. Basically it breaks everything down, and has you follow step by step tactics that will get you back together. Nothings for certain, but this is a legit guide which provides an excellent plan for getting back with your ex quickly and effectively.

Your Magic Philosophy

One of the things I try to get across to my students is the need to develop a magic philosophy.
Hopefully, your philosophy will always evolve. You want your magic to have a soul not a set of rules.
Here's an example of a magic philosophy:
When I vanish an object in my hand, I want it to reappear in the same hand.
I try to follow this guideline all of the time. I construct my routines to meet this criteria.
How do you develop your own philosophy? Well, one way to do it is to learn from other people. Lou Serrano, one of the premier close-up magicians at The Magic Castle is the guy that emphasized the above point to me.
I agreed with his thinking on it and I adopted it as part of my philosophy.
Of course, reading, thinking, and experience all contribute to developing your own personal philosophy.
However, don't assume a philosophy will naturally develop over time. You need to be able to write it out the way a company writes out its mission statement.
A performing philosophy is important because it helps you choose material. When developing something new, it's easy to throw things away or to change them to match your needs.
Don't confuse the idea of philosophy with that of character. If you're trying to develop a character, you should stop. That's a different subject and my stance on the topic is part of my philosophy. I'm sure there are plenty of people that would argue against my thoughts on the subject...but they'd be wrong. HEHE.
The two big philosophies in the world of magic fall into one of two categories, really defined by two people, Dai Vernon and Tony Slydini.
Vernon's philosophy was that magic just happened. It's everywhere, not in his control, it just happens. He also emphasized making everything look natural.
Slydini on the other hand made the magic. He was very impromptu and dramatic. He took credit for creating the magic, it didn't just happen.
I hope this plants a seed for you to start considering your own personal philosophy. It's personal, it's not right or wrong, and if you keep an open mind, it will change as you grow.

You Don't Need a Spell to Become a Witch With Powers

You don't become a witch with a spell, and you certainly don't need a spell to become a witch with powers. You become a witch by practicing that way of life, and you become a witch with powers by practicing that way of life a lot and by developing a connection to the world and the energy forces around you.
Forget about a spell to become a witch with powers, start learning and start applying. Far to many people get into witchcraft and wicca hoping to find some magic spell that will give them everything they want and wish for. This is no different than a child wishing he or she would get this or that for Christmas or their birthday without doing anything to get that thing they desire. I hate to break it to you, but if you want to become a powerful witch, a spell to become a witch with powers will only disappoint you.
Start by taking the time to study. Get a good education about what being a witch really means. Start learning and following the precepts of witchcraft, or wicca, or what ever denomination of paganism you wish to follow. As you start to apply these principles and concepts in your daily life, you will begin to grow in power naturally.
Power and powers have nothing to do with strength or magically making things appear at will. That is childish movie non-sense. Power and powers have to do with your wisdom and understanding of the natural world and the universe. By practicing rituals and developing a deeper understanding of the natural energy and power within those things around you, you will become a powerful witch with wisdom. A spell to become a witch with powers is foolish, and it's an attempt to find an easy way to short cut the necessary work.

Awesome Levitation Magic Tricks

Who doesn't love a nice levitation trick? Everyone remembers "Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board" but that was barely a working trick. There are many other levitation-styled magic tricks that are still used and even perfected today. All those tricks range from the levitating of a unique, little item, to the levitation of large groups of people. All of which are made to be awesome magic tricks that baffle anyone who takes the time to watch.
One very simple levitation magic trick is called "Cup Levitation". The object of this magic trick is to appear to make a styrofoam cup float in mid air. First you must prepare your cup for its upcoming trick by carefully putting a hole, approximately the size of your thumb, in the side of your cup. To make it even simpler on yourself start rehearsing this trick with a Styrofoam cup so that you can easily press your thumb through the one side. Announce to your audience that you are now going to make a cup float in mid air. Insert your thumb into the hole discreetly while maintaining the cup with both hands and face your audience. Proceed by acting as if you are driving "pure magic" towards the cup with your hands so that it will float. Then, slowly release your grip so that your thumbs are well concealed behind the cup and it looks like your hands are sprawled open behind the cup. Make sure you continue the acting as if flowing magic towards the cup thus making it float. There you go, awesome magic tricks can be very simple.
Always remember that you are not trying an impossible feat, instead you are producing the illusion that you are successfully doing an impossible action. Levitation tricks are of the most favorite and awesome magic tricks in our life today. Many are still marveled by the levitation tricks and many always will be.
Another simple levitation illusion that is one of the more awesome magic tricks out there today is called "Ketchup Levitation Trick". This illusion is very simple, easy to perform, and needs minimal props. For this trick to work you will need a clear plastic bottle, such as a water or soda bottle, and a condiment packet of ketchup, like the ones you receive in the drive through at a fast food restaurant. Peal the label off of the bottle so that your audience can see clearly through it. Fill Up that bottle with cool water and place the packet inside the bottle. It should stay floating at the top. Take the base of your bottle and softly press. When you are squeezing the packet should float downward and when you are releasing the packet should move up. Presto! You have performed the awesome magic trick of making ketchup float!
Now that you know some fundamental principles of the art of levitation you should practice a bit and show off your new accomplishments to all of your friends!

Magic Tricks - Using Stooges

A stooge, in magical terms, is someone pretending to be a audience member, but who is actually "in on the secret" and is secretly helping the magician perform various effects that range from mentalism to "normal" illusions.  The use of a stooge is often thought of when magicians perform impossible effects on television or theatre performances, however, stooges aren't just limited to TV - they can be used in table-hopping environments, small parties and even informal gatherings.  Stooges are used for a variety of effects, and this article will explain a few of them.
Vanishes
While all eyes are on the magician, a stooge can subtly remove objects in order to make them disappear.  In one such effect, the magician places a genuine spectator's ring under a napkin and holds it from outside the napkin.  He then lets various spectators feel under the napkin to confirm the ring is still there, and then very fairly wraps the ring with the napkin.  After suitable dramatics, the ring has vanished and reappeared in some bizarre object next to the spectator.
How is this done?  Simple - the last spectator to feel the ring is actually a stooge.  Instead of just checking the ring is still under the napkin, the stooge takes the ring and conceals it in his hand (known as palming) before confirming that the ring is still there.  The magician then keeps the audience's attention while the stooge can place the ring in an impossible location.
Mentalism
There are literally thousands of mentalism (i.e. mind-reading) effects that can be made even more powerful with the use of a stooge.  Imagine a magician, in an informal situation, asks one spectator to select any object in the room while the magician is out of the room; when he returns, he is able to "sense" the object and finally picks the chosen object - all thanks to secret communication with the stooge.  Alternatively, a spectator may totally freely select a card from a deck of cards the magician never touches yet the magician is able to instantly (or after sufficient dramatic strain) reveal the chosen card.
This secret communication usually involves some kind of physical contact (usually under a table), visual cues (subtle nodding, pointing etc.), or in larger situations, audible prompts; all of which must be used with care to prevent detection.  A new addition to the magic market is "Mobile Stooge" which turns your mobile phone into a totally undetectable way for a stooge and magician to communicate with each other with no physical, audible or visual cues - the magician can even be in a different room to the stooge.  This has allowed for some more exciting, adventurous effects to be created.
Inspections
Perhaps the least used, false inspections allow the magician to use a gimmicked device (i.e. something that appears normal but any real inspection will reveal that the object has been altered), have it inspected (by the stooge) so that the audience will believe the object is totally normal.  This allows the magician to get away with murder!
Cheating
Stooges aren't just used for magic - less honest people may use very similar techniques while playing games or even gambling in order to beat the house, and have even been used in television competitions such as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (where an audience member coughed at certain points - if only they were using Mobile Stooge!)

Edward Jellard is the creator of Mobile Stooge, a 21st century way to totally secretly communicate just using your cellphone and Bluetooth. If you are a magician and would like to enhance your mentalism repertoire, check it out - the effects are only limited by your imagination. You'll automatically become a member of Mobile Stooge's parent site, Magic Hat, where you can talk to other Mobile Stooge owners and the creator in a private forum.
Magic Hat is a very large magic community, with around 50 thousand users and a thousand free magic tricks, some of which can be enhanced by Mobile Stooge, so join up today and develop your magic hobby.

Magic Spells, Prayers, Curses And Chants

So the answer to all your problems are powerful Magic Spells and Prayers.

Witches, warlocks, magicians, shamans and saints throughout history have always raised themselves above the common lot of frustrated, hopeless individuals. How? Not by working harder or longer house. Not by wishing and musing. They tapped the secret power which lies behind all the different types of spells like Magic Spells, Money Spells, Prayers, talismans and Charms. While others moaned and fretted all around them, those few masters enjoyed a fuller, richer life. You can do the same. You smile as others cry. You will feel light and airy while others continue to be burdened. The pressures and obstacles of the mundane world will have no effect on you. Your luck is incredible.

Happiness, harmony, luck, success etc are all these things which the ancients knew how to get at your fingertips and this was possible by the use of Magic Spells, Prayers and Chants.

Even as you are reading this topic on Magic Spell, very ancient principles of cosmic action are at work, activated by your mind that is the source of all energy, the root of all magic spells, chants and prayers. That power is ready to respond to your will. No matter what you want, need, or desire, no matter who you are, where are you or how are you, you can put the power to work for your own good right now. Following years of occult research into the source of the power of mystics, witches, magicians and occultists in general, I discovered the key to their abilities. And the key to success is positive thinking and positive energy by magic spells, prayers and chants.

You can activate your own hidden source of MAGICAL power in the same way that occultists and mystics have been have been doing for ages: by using Magic Spells, Love Spells, Money Spells, Talismans, Charms, Prayers and Chants. And just as they have done, you realize your hidden potential, transform your very life, obtain health and riches and fame.

The greatest secret possessed by ancient mystics and occultists, which has been handed down from generation to generation by oral tradition, is this Spells, Prayers, Love Spells, Talismans, Charms and Chants work effectively to the degree that the are charged with emotion. Incantations do not work by virtue of 'MAGICAL FORMULA" or by the virtue of sentence structure (the uninitiated always search for "power" names and words). Magic Spells, prayers, chants, talismans, charms work because you want them to work, and this no matter the words used. The secret lies not in the words, and this no matter the words used. The secret lies not in the words, but in the emotional charge behind the words. Certainly there are formulized witches spells and oriental chants. But the fact remains that without emotional charge behind them, they would be but vain uttering, fruitless and empty words.

Anyone can use Magic Spells, Love Spells, Money Spells, Talismans, Charms and Prayers. Modern scientific research tends to demonstrate that all people can be channels for so called mystic power. The force of energy available to the firewalker, the shaman, the magician, and the sorcerer is also available to the cabdriver, the secretary, the bank president and the beauty queen. No human being denied. Moreover, the source of personal power may be used to solve any problem, spiritual or physical, psychic or material. In short Magic Spells, Prayers, Love Spells Talismans and Charms can help you, no matter your need or desire. You may be a hard working individual, and yet for all your labor, time and energy output, you get little in return. Here's where a curse can help you, not a curse against a fellow human being, but a curse against obstacles, impediments and setbacks.

You can use Magic Spells, Love Spells, Money Spells, Talismans, Charms, Prayers and Chants to your own benefit right now and every day. The power which responds to them in an ageless power, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Only man's mind has changed , filled as it is with all kinds of superimposed attitudes, prejudices and preconceived notions. You can cast a spell on adversity, curse bad luck, pray for anything from spiritual light to material wealth, or chant your way to peace and harmony. For spells, prayers, curses and chants are no longer merely products of magic and religion, but act on definite scientific principles, universal laws. The only thing standing in the way of what you want is yourself.

In the Harry Potter movies we watch children play Quidditch on a broomstick and little wizards and witches casting quick spells here and there with their magic wands. In the movie, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," we watch martial arts heroes literally flying among the trees to fight. These days we're flooded with all kinds of movies that bring magic into our lives. With all this new found interest in magic, most people are asking, "Is magic real?" What do you think? Is magic real and can you really have magic in your life?

Yes. Magic is very real and has existed as a precise science for thousands of years. Whether you call it magic, magick or majick, it is real. Every single person can learn to do magic. We were ALL born with the talents and abilities that empower us to do magic. The only reason that magic seems so, well, magical is that this society no longer teaches the art and science of magic. In the distant past, magical study was just as important as math, science or the arts. Even the miracles that Jesus performed were based on the use of magic. In fact, magic was and still is the birthright of EVERY planetary citizen.

Can you learn to do the kind of magic portrayed in the movies? Yes - and no. The movies are great at giving you a taste of what you can do with magic, but they aren't very accurate. In the Harry Potter movies, for instance, the characters use their wands for every magical operation. In reality, you can only use the wand to handle air energies. Your wand would actually explode or catch fire if you tried to use it to throw firebolts and fireballs like the characters do in the movie.

So what can you actually do with magic? Quite a lot. Here's a short list to get you started:

- Balance your energies for healing and manifestation
- Change old beliefs
- Defend yourself against physical and psychic attack
- Heal yourself and others
- Find hidden information and see possible futures
- Psychically communicate with other beings
- Create sacred space
- Find lost people and objects
- Manifest what you want and need in life

At the very basis of magic is the understanding of the four elements: Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Called elemental magic, these foundational elements are real. Air, Fire, Water and Earth are part of our natural everyday environment. What makes them magical is the understanding of how they operate not just on the physical level, but also at the levels of mind and Spirit.

For instance, while on the physical level Air is just the stuff we breathe, on the magical levels Air is the conduit of psychic communication, enlightenment, understanding, dreaming and more. If you want more of any of these things in your life, then you need more magical Air. How do you get more magical Air? Wear more Air colors, including white for communication and sky blue for enlightenment and understanding. To take this one step further, you could also take on more Air to make your body lighter.

By just extending your understanding and use of the basic ingredients of nature, you are doing magic! Seen in this light, magic isn't all smoke and mirrors, nor is it the result of Hollywood special effects. Magic is the result of truly understanding and working with the very elements that are all around you.

One final note: Many masters, including Wayne Dyer, have said, "You'll see it when you believe it." The same is true for magic. In other words, the suspension of disbelief and the willingness not to exercise contempt prior to investigation are requirements for magic to be "real." Magic is all around us, and always is, but our ability to perceive and use the forces of magic depends on our willingness to be open. No one else can show it to you, only your direct experience and observation can "prove" or demonstrate to you that magic is real.
