Basic Magick

itself within the apparent laws of nature. It will always seem to
the sceptical to be just coincidence.
That is, if you are casting spells for prosperity, the opportunity
for a new and better job might come your way. Or a relative might
die and leave you some money (ad infinitum).
But you _cannot_ egotistically decide which form the manifestation
of the spell will take. And you _must_ be alert for the opportunity
when it shows itself.
A pot of gold is not going to materialize at your feet. Theoretically,
for a very advanced person, this could happen, but most people that
advanced have long since left the Earth behind for 'larger' realms.
Nor do such people have to waste their time on such mundane matters.
If their path requires money it just comes their way.
Another caveat about spells in general, particularly prosperity
spells: It is much more effective to cast spells for actual
things and circumstances you want rather than something
symbolic like money. You could have a pile of money and then a
Recession/Depression could render it useless...
If you want a full pantry and a nice house and nice clothes, then
cast spells for those things.
Spells for the purpose of manipulating specific people are
foolsplay and self-destructive: They always backfire. They are no
different than coercing someone with a gun.
All the nasty clowns on these groups who claim to be able to harm
others with their supposed magickal abilities are losers and liars.
We all have natural defenses against such things.
Believe me, people with the ability/power to force their
Will/Intent on others have better things to do than hang out on
the internet and have tizzy fits over childish insults.

It is true that those who seek to harm are pathetic. But no, none of
the rest of this has anything to do with magick. Magick, the word, was
coined by Aleister Crowley and has a very distinct definition. It is
apparent that Sid has no grasp of it. Neither does he have a grasp of
the word, natural. Natural is ALWAYS relative to something. One can
say something is natural to “nature” ~ nature is natural to the
‘verse, or what we call the universe. The universe comes into being
within something vaster than itself. What is natural within it can be
quite unnatural outside it. A certain order is natural to the
“universe”. That same order is unnatural to chaos. This is one of the
fundamental concepts of magick inspired by Spare who was greatly
admired by Crowley who coined the word “magick”.
BBDD
Yes, a pot of gold does ~ but not the way fools imagine. Gold is free
if you have the wit to figure out how to gather it. Sid has a habit of
imagining what his betters would do. No one is in an all fired hurry
to leave this plane when they discover how to work it well. All paths
require money. Being a stinky hippy monk in a cave is not a path.
Money is easy. No spells, as Sid imagines, work at all. It is very
easy to prove that they do not and demonstrate why it SEEMS like they
do. Magick does NOT employ what most consider spells ~ EVER. On the
other hand, if one contemplates an extremely complex system like the
Achadian projection it will effect ones overall abilities and insight.
BBDD
One more point ~ nothing is going to backfire. There is no power or
force in spells to backfire. The damage comes from embracing ignorance
and superstition ~ the harm in that is endless.

Many times it is plain magick.

So? That is not the point.

No they don't. Not if done right.

No, we do not have natural defenses.

Aine is delusional. That about sums it. Things are not the way a
delusional mind imagines just because it managed at least that. They
have meds for what some of you folks think magick is.
