Does it just come from the Earth and Sky, and our bodies? I was reading in the Bible and it said that the reason Witchcraft is "bad" is because it comes from "demons and the earth" and not God's divine level, so it is a trick. I disagree with this because I think that if God wants the earth to be Hell, then he is a doughbrain because it is a beautiful thing and we kinda live here! I don't believe in that bogus, the Earth is holy and needs to be respected as a gift from the God and Goddess. But I wondered where specifically magick comes from you guys? XP

Basically it is all about your faith in whatever you believe in.

Evangelists you see on TV (700 club etc...) ask God for the healing powers in their prayers.

I know from my healing training the energy used comes from the universal energy that is around us or with the assistance of spirit guides and higher deities. (God/Goddess of our prefered belief)

For wiccans their spells and incantations are just as much a prayer as a christians, jewish or muslim and so on...

Magic can be thought of, in its simplest form, as the application of the Will to
Energy. The exact mechanics and the underlying moral code (if any) are what distinguish the Faith behind the magic. Prayer and ritual are both attempts at magic. Song, chant, dance are all ways to raise the energy for magic.

And then there is: "any technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic" written by Arthur C. Clarke.

That Biblical theology used to get stuck in my craw as well, and then I realized that magic, like prayer is all about belief. It all depends on what you're praying for, and of course you have some faiths who will villify anything that they don't understand or accept as their own. Personally, prayer is prayer and has little to do with consorting with demons, unless it's due to sheer ignorance.

lol the bibles true to an exstent the ilimanaie(sp) ppl changed it alot XD
its comes from your soul your and own force of will!
why else do you think all spirits and gods want your soul
and for you to worship them
XD thats why every thing wants you to give up your own
sence of self will and be a drone

when you worship something and lose your self will your give up
your self being as which you become nothing more then food

iv also come accross a notion that the darkness and dark beings have no
acual power of there own. and that they get it from what ever power is given to them from what ever there atking/possesing ect. it something to
with light and how there is'int any light or energy with them

from what iv seen and heard about it may be true
on shows i watch that have to do with hauntings
what ever is going on always and starts small and the spirit only gets stronger as the person gets freked out and losses there self confidance
xD

dark spirits iv meet nvr really did anything (they looked creepy and cool)
but stand and try to freak me out. hehe i ether killed it, ate it or feed it to my gaurdien so it get more powerfull
