Alt.paranormal.spells.hexes.magic is part of the alt.paranormal.* hierarchy. Other newsgroups in this lineage -- with descriptions taken from their entries at http://www.tile.net/news/paranormal.html> -- include news:alt.paranormal ("phenomena which are not scientifically explicable") news:alt.paranormal.channeling ("spiritual mediumship, channeling and channelers"), news:alt.paranormal.crop-circles ("a discussion of crop circles") news:alt.paranormal.pyramid ("theories on mystic aspects of pyramids"). 11 Why do you some people spell magick with a K? The reason for the two spellings -- on the internet -- is that computers need differing spelling to distinguish between two files. Some time back in the early 1990s, the usage of "magic" for stage magic and "magick" for mystical-ritual-supernatural practices was adopted by general consensus. This newsgroup, alt.paranormal.spells.hexes.magic, is one of the older in usenet and was created BEFORE the magic-with-a-k spelling rule was agreed upon. Later, alt.magick and its derivatives were created with a 'k' to avoid confusion with stage magic. *01 'Magick' is a spelling popularly associated with Aleister Crowley, yet the spelling precedes him by hundreds of years. *02 12 What is a spell? What is a hex? ? Generally speaking, a magical spell is a formula that may involve spoken, written, or chanted words; symbolic enactments; candle burning; ritual baths; burning of incense; sprinkling of powders, salts, or dusts; and/or the manufacture and deployment of charms, amulets, or talismans. The purposes of spells are varied. They include "drawing" or wish-fulfillment in regard to love, money, and good fortune; apotropaic, "banishing" or "drive-away" spells for ridding oneself of unwanted influences; and "jinxing," "crossing," or "cursing" spells to bring bad luck or harm to another. "Hex" is a regionally popular word from the Pennsylvania Dutch country. It can apply to a symbolic drawing (often an apotropaic six-sided figure to protect farm animals), or to a curse, or to magical spells in general. "Hoodoo," "conjure" (or "conjuration"), "rootwork," and "laying down tricks" are also regionally popular terms for spell-casting, either benevolent and malevolent. They come from the African-American tradition, . 13 I don't read newsgroups. Will people send me spells by email? Newcomers to usenet newsgroups ("newbies") often fail to understand that these are discussion groups, not sources of free goodies. People who post to a newsgroup only to ask for information to be sent to them via email are sometimes thought of by usenet regulars as "parasitic posters." If you want to learn from and meet other people who regularly read and post to the group, please stick around and participate. 14 Shouldn't there be limits to what people can post here? This newsgroup has existed for many years as a place for people to exchange information about spells and spell-casting. Occasionally, people with a dogmatic religious background (for instance in Wicca or Christianity) post abusive messages about the sorts of spells that are "acceptable," but the group generally ignores them and moves on. For those interested in specific forms of magic that may or may not be attached to a given tradition, there are many newsgroups to which discussion can be taken if you wish to cooperate with newsgroup regulars. Here are a few such discussion-oriented newsgroups to get you started: news:alt.lucky.w (lucky charms and amulets, folk-magic, hoodoo) news:alt.magick (general -- mostly ceremonial -- magic) news:alt.magick.chaos (chaos-magic) news:alt.magick.ethics (the ethics of magical practice) news:alt.magick.folk (folk-magic) news:alt.magick.marketplace (magical tools and books for sale) news:alt.magick.order (magical societies, orders, fraternities) news:alt.magick.tantra (sex-magic and tantra) news:alt.magick.tyagi (magic, mysticism, philosophy, religion) There is a far more comprehensive list of occult-related newsgroups in the document called The Mage's Guide to the Internet (MaGI) at http://www.luckymojo.com/magi/ ================================================================ 20 SUBJECT A few questions about spell-casting arise with regularity. Some concern an analysis of magic, its workings and principles, and its relationship to science and religion. Others attempt to establish definitive guidelines governing the morality of spell-work. 21 What is magic(k)? Magic has been defined by many people in many different ways. One infamous mage defined it as "the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will." *03 Some see magic as a kind of energy which pervades the cosmos. Others see it as a psychic tool by which we may influence the material world using symbols and ritual. Many see it as a means of coming to unite with the divine, some consider it to be the exercise of will or Will, or the manipulation of reality. Whatever the word means, 'magic' is the subject, generally, of the newsgroup, and will likely be given many differing and contradictory meanings during discussions there. 22A Is magic real, how does it work, what influences it? Many have suggested the differentiation of magical 'currents' or 'energies' based on style and/or intent. Some posit the notion of principles, a la scientific structure, 'laws of magic' and what-not. Others approach it more subjectively, considering all knowledge about the elements of magic to be personal and therefore particular only to the individual condition, variable of form. All of these are popular responses to this question, though more inventive theories would be welcomed. Conventional approaches may be cross-posted to news:sci.philosophy.meta The self-professed "newbie" Chameleon (chameleon_@hotmail.com) put the question this way, in regard to casting spells: "I have a couple magic books at home and have read through them. A lot of them use a type of hypnosis to channel energy and though I have read of the use of herbs and incense to burn, is it the burning drug that is supposed to do the magic or is it your energy that makes it come true? Different books do things differently." Generally speaking, folk-magic and the magic of rural people seems to place greater emphasis on objects -- herbs, minerals, animal teeth or bones, human sexual fluids, candles, incense, and so forth -- than it does on the "energy" of the person casting the spell. Conversely, ceremonial magic, chaos magic, and other urban-based traditions tend to place more emphasis on "will" or directed personal power. A third path is that of the religiously-inclined magician, who believes that invocation or summoning of deities, saints, spirits, or angels influences the outcome of a magical spell. To the best of my knowledge, none of these three distinctly different theories has been empirically proven "right" or "wrong," so the individual practitioner is left to follow the tradition most congenial to his or her world-view and personality. 22B Is magic compatible with modern Science? An oft-asked question, particularly with reference to Heisenberg and chaos theory. Hang around a little before getting into one of these discussions. They can take quite a while to untangle. 22C How are magic and religion/mysticism related or different? There have been a number of different discussions on these subjects. One extremely popular hypothesis is the magic/individual : religion/group model. This notion holds that magical practices that do not involve a congregation and a worship service are not religious. (An example of this would be a woman casting a love spell with oils and a candle to attract a man.) likewise, according to this viewpoint, magical practices that involve a congregation and worship ARE religious. Some hold that religious [ractices cannot, by definition, be magical. Others contend that religious services that invoke the aid of spirits or unknown forces to effect a change in the world are magical. (An example of this would be a Christian prayer meeting for healing a member of the congregation.) Some religions openly include and acknowledge magical practices. Some emphasize this aspect more than others. Here are three examples, selected more or less at random: Fundamentalist Christians tend to downplay magic, but Catholic Christians often practice it openly, especially in more rural cultures than the United States. For example, it is common in Mexico to invoke the financial aid of Saint Martin Caballero (a religious act) by means of a magical phrase ("citrum neuvo"), a thread-wrapped horseshoe, and a cloth bag filled with grains of wheat (a magical act). Santeria and Vodoun, two Afro-Caribbean religions with strong magical components, are sometimes wrongfully characterized by outsiders as a form of magic, although they are both actually religions. The use of ritual baths and trance-possession seem to strike Euro-Americans as "magical" acts, rather than "religious" ones, despite the fact that both religions have priestly hierarchs who conduct ceremonies for the congregation Hinduism has an entire sacred book (one of the Vedas) devoted to magical formulas and spells -- and this is in addition to the more cosmlogical and worship-oriented Vedic texts. Child of Fire (mailto:ladythella@juno.com) framed the question of how magic relates to relgion in terms of its "fit" with goddess-worshipping Wicca, when she asked: "I am not Wiccan (though two of my best friends are) but I do find the magics interesting. I enjoy and practice candle magic and herb magic... however, [...] one of the main reasons I'm NOT wiccan is that I can't honestly say that I believe in a goddess. The other reason [is] that I am quite impulsive, so that I tend to act BEFORE I think and when you throw in the Three-Fold Law [of Return; a Wiccan dogma], I find myself headed for a lot of trouble, ya know? Any help would be much appreciated." In my opinion, this question is more religious than magical. While many Wiccans do practice magic, they certainly did not invent it or have an exclusive handle on it. In fact, magical practices -- especially those using simple objects from nature such as herbs and minerals -- are to be found in virtually every human culture, regardless of the type of deity worshipped. Furthermore, even people who worship NO deity may practice magic. As for opinions about the universality of the Three-Fold Law of Return (or lack thereof), see the next two questions. It's always good to ask these questions -- many people don't, and thus make erroneous assumoptions about other people's practices -- but if you wish to discuss mysticism or religion, consult a newsgroup devoted to that topic. For more reading on the subject, follow links from the MaGI's Gehennom GOO at http://www.luckymojo.com/magi/goo.html ! 23A Is magic black or white? Should we do black magic? For discussion about the ethics of magic, see the newsgroup news:alt.magick.ethics. 23B What about the "Three-Fold Law of Return"? Don't curses and coercive spells somehow bounce back and punish you? While in many magical traditions there is a guide of some kind against coercing a person, this rule is not culturally universal. "The three-fold law of return" (which hypothesizes that whatever you do to others magically will come back to you three-fold) -- is often cited by modern neo-pagans as a warning against performing coercive spells. However, the "three-fold law" is neither a law of nature (like gravity) nor a world-wide law of magical practice, being found only in those neo-pagan traditions that derive from or are allied to Wicca. In Hindu magical practices, for instance, the "law of karma" states that what you do will come back to you at full force -- that is, it is a "one-fold law of return" -- not three-fold. Both the Hindu and Wiccan rules of return can be demonstrated to be false in a given person's lifetime. That is, so many wicked people escape justice that no sane observer would contend that it is a law of any kind that punishment is certain for evil deeds. In order to support their one-fold and three-fold "laws" of return, Wiccans and Hindus rely on a secondary hypothesis, namely, reincarnation of the individual soul. This is a matter of religious dogma. Because reincarnation has never been satisfactorialy demonstrated to occur, the majority of human beings neither endorse reincarnation, nor a "law of karma" or "three-fold law of return." Most cultures in which magic is practiced have no stated belief in a "rule of return" of any kind -- and it is recommended that because discussions of such "laws," being religious topics, are not of concern to the general practitioner of magic, discussion about them should be directed to an appropriate newsgroup in the soc.religion.* or alt.religion.* hierarchies. . 24 When casting a spell is there always an incantation -- or is it belief or will-power that produces results? This depends on the tradition -- and the spell. Some spells employ incantations (to gods, demons, elemental forces), some use objects (roots, herbs, minerals, amulets, talismans, seals), some utilise actions (sprinkling, dancing, stepping in a pattern, bathing), and many use a combination of these. 25 Is animal sacrifice common in spell-casting? Animal sacrifice is more common in certain religions than it is in magical rites in general, considered world-wide. Very few folk-magic spells require animal sacrifice because they derive from rural-agricultural traditions in which animals are too valuable to butcher indiscriminately. Religions are more likely to require the sacrifice of an animal, possibly because the priestly class traditionally claims the carcass as a sort of fee or payment for services rendered. 26 Is the Latin language really a more powerful spell casting language? Some folks think so. Others swear by Hebrew, Greek, Egyptian, Sanskrit, or...you name it! There is certainly no agreement that any one language is more powerful than others, although each -- including common English -- has advocates. 27 Is it possible to invoke Gods, Spirits, Angels, or Demi-Gods, or to summon the dead? Invoking an entity means to call it to you with a voiced chant (an invocation). Summoning it means to coerce it to appear. Many people claim to have done one or both of these things, either in religious rites or in magical rituals. To some observers, it seems that much invocatory and summoning magic has a religious tinge to it and vice versa. These folks cite the ceremony of Holy Communion in the Catholic Church is an instance of summoning a deity and the trance-possession of Santeria as an invocatory rite. 28 Is there a spell that will actually let your arm spontaneously combust and not get burned? Allow you to fly? Turn you invisible? Change the colour of your eyes? These sound more like sleight-of-hand than sorcery. When portrayed in movies, they may be the result of special effects, stunt-doubling, or the like. 29 Can spell casting really heal the terminally ill or kill a healthy person? Many have claimed so and believed so. Examples of spontaneous healing -- and spontaneous death -- abound in the literature of science as well as the literature of magic. This is not to say that such things are common or can be predictably invoked, but they do seem to happen now and then. ================================================================ 30 STUDIES How to learn about magic and what ought be considered the best sources are frequently discussed topics in usenet. Occasionally someone will compile a REF file of newsgroup posts for a common topic. Make a collection of posts and assist in the project yourself by adding to the Lucky Mojo Esoteric Archive at http://www.luckymojo.com/esoteric.html 31 How should I start learning about magic? teachers? Some recommend the use of particular mechanisms or tools, such as tarot, a magical diary, meditation or dreamwork. Some recommend specific books or teachers, others place more emphasis on the aptitude and imagination of the student. As CHenningsson writes: "Books are one answer. There are actually books which try to take you from your first tentative attempts at relaxation into holding a ritual.... "Other than that ... Just do it! If you like to, you can see this as one of the very first exercises in Will; you Will yourself into making a ritual." Robin provides marvelous advice: "Resist the temptation to believe what anyone else tells you. Try to invent ways to find out things for yourself. Remain skeptical. "Look for ways in which you may have been doing magick without realizing it. Think about what it might mean if you could use it with intention, and how you might go about that." MKampe offers: "if you have clear notions of what magick is all about, it might be better for you to pursue your inner course and avoid outside contamination [from teachers/books/etc.]." 32 What are some books for a beginner? There are at least three online occult book lists available, as well as one list of mail-order occult book dealers. book list one: http://www.luckymojo.com/altmagickfaq/bookref book list two: http://www.luckymojo.com/altmagickfaq/bookref2 book list three: http://www.luckymojo.com/tkbibliocontents.html occult book dealers: http://www.luckymojo.com/altmagickfaq/bookpubs. 33 Where is more online information about magic to be found?
