To me, magic is not a physical thing, it's an emotional thing. When I'm in the sun, I feel magic, running water=magic, fur=magic, good music=magic... Not because of what they are but how they make me feel! All physical things can be explained by science, what they do to me is the magical part! rofl

That is where I was going with the colors thing. The different colors represent different feelings of magic.

To me magic is a will, will to develop, achieve, move forward, to create. And in this form it exists in every being on the earth and beyond it. I know pretty short and simple.


As for the question in the beginning of the thread, I think the difference between the miracle and magic is that in magic you consciously are using the will to make something happen the way you want, not just asking and hoping for "someone" else to do that.

To me, magic is everywhere and in everything. From the simplist to the most complex things. I'm sure that it sounds "idealistic" but to me magic comes in the form of the hatching of an egg or blooming of a flower.

Magic is also about intent and "color" is just a way to describe it, not necessarily the "meaning" of it. White Magic and Black Magic are just two sides of the same coin. With everything there is an equal and opposite inorder for there to be balance. Black Magic doesn't necessarily mean evil and White Magic doesn't automatically mean pure.

I'm sure I will catch some flack for that, but these are my beliefs. It is the person who is creating the "magic" intent that "colors" it.

to me magick is the art of creating change in your universe to influence the outcome of an event.

Magic for me is a form of energy. It is working with the primary force that connects all living beings. Witchcraft is the art and science of working magic to cause change in conformity with will.

Magic that comes from the body is a tool
Magic that comes from the Gods is a gift
Magic the comes from Gotiea is a force not used lightly
Magic that comes from Alchemy is a science
