Some_Guy15 Schildkrote will o' the wisps are glowing orbs that commonly appear over swamps and fens. the government explained them as "swamp gas refracting off venus," which definitly smells like a pile of bullshit. and ghost sure as hell aint hallucinations. ive seen a window broken by a poltergeist. sixth sense....yeah, sometimes. but that doesnt explain my brother getting a sick feeling in his gut at the same time our step grandma found out her nephew had been stealing from her. thats in Puerto Rico. cant explain that. Will o' the wisps has been proven to be ignited methane gas, which comes from swamps and burns under the swamp water. As for me I believe in magic yes, I belive it is the will of the gods and it is energy manipulation also. I think that the Gods help to make the manipulation possible and thats why people who do magic are allways tired if thy over use it. I really like this. It's a great explaination. But I think that you are slighty off. Closer than everyone else, but still off. God helps us to perform miracles for him through us. He let's out his power through us. Very interesting comment you made. Can't get over it. But also remember, that Satan likes to work through us to. So when you say Gods, maybe you should put the Dark Side(Star Wars theme music starts) and the Light Side(music ends). Not to piss off any Satanists on this site!

Gods would be a plural of a name, such as Jack. gods would be plural of a thing, such as bun.

chaoticpuppet chocfudge Love is magic wink magic is something that we can't explain with reason, something that we don't understand, but yet it happens and exists That's an interesting definition. Most people consider love to be an emotion. Would you then say that other emotions are magic? For example would wrath also be magic? Why/Why not? I think, that our feelings and emotions are magic. Often we don't understand them because they aren't reasonable at times. We don't want to be jealous, but yet we are and can't really do anything about it except ignoring it. When we're angry we destruct something we like and afterwards regret it. Wouldn't we have been angry, it would have never happened, that our beloved vase is broken now. Therefore wrath is magic, too. Love is just something that seems silly at times because love forgives even though we were hurt. Anger, wrath and fury are destructive which is magic on its own. We do things we don't mean to, say things we regret later and don't think clearly when we act. THAT is magic for me. It doesn't seem so supernatural? Well, does magic have to be supernatural?

Hmm, I wouldn't want to seperate the two sides, my religion has them both, for example June the 21 will be Litha! The celebration of the triumpth of light over darkness (sumer solist (Sp?)) but in winter the winter solist (sp?) is when darkness triumpths over light. In druidism they worship both gods of "light" and gods of "darkness", that is why I would prefer not to descrminate between them. Edit: I'm not a druid!!

chaoticpuppet About your brother: It could be mere coincidence. It's happened more then once, and I've been right every time. Scary as hell for me, because all I know is something bad is going to happen to someone close, like say a friend or relitive. And bro? it's a feeling on the back of the neck, not gut.

When two gasses love each other very much...
It probably combusts because the mixture of swamp gas and atmospheric gasses are just right for it to ignite.

Actually its kind of gross, when something gets stuck in a swamp and dies it lets out the gas and the energy from the sun lights it when there is enough from the decomposed body.

I lack a belief in magic, psychism, ghosts, God and other elements of the 'supernatural'. Any phenomena which these things have been posited to explain are more simply and more plausibly explained in terms of concepts for which there is evidence. That doesn't mean that they don't exist/occur, and I am fully ready to accept that they do if and when evidence comes to light to show that this is the case, but there is none.
I also feel that these concepts need defining more rigorously, as many of them are highly subjective and people's understanding of the terms varies greatly. Unless you can pin down a specific idea for a word to represent, how can you prove that idea exists? That's a major problem for the 'supernatural'; it keeps every aspect of it unfalsifiable and inherently unprovable by nature. All you have is faith. ;D

You truely can't prove someone's emotions. There a many scientific theories that have been almost proven so much people consider them fact. There are many real things that a logical thinker would have trouble believing in.
Also, I want to mention that I forgot what love is.
Love is a vow. Love consists of several emotions, strengths, and weaknesses. When you say you love someone, that means that you are comitted to them. The things that make up love aren't magic though. It just takes the right two people to make it work.

Real magic lies in our ability to hone our personal engeries and the energies of nature to find peace and inner beauty in ourselves and the world around us.
