Shokai
I was recently threatened with an "evil" magick attack but I do not know how to fend it off...I have these cool looking Japanese amulets though..but would studying magick go against or contradict Buddhist practices especially those of a Pure Land (tradition) follower?

An evil magic attack ... GAAAAAAHHHHH !!!! gonk You need a magic reflect spell and cast lots of faith healing on yourself ...
pirate Well, I don't think it does contridict what Sakyamuni Buddha taught, the Kalama sutta lets you find out whether anything is true or false before accepting it ...

Like everything, you should take what I say as my opinion/advice and not an unquestionable answer, but...
1. Study whatever you want. Barring obsession to the point that it affects the well-being of yourself or others, nothing bad can come from learning and broadening your horizons. It would be like saying "I'm a math person, so I shouldn't learn about science, literature, or art." Don't let people tell you what you can and cannot learn.
2. Anyone who was serious about 'magick' wouldn't threaten you with an evil attack. Wiccans have the whole threefold law thing that really discourages doing ill. And laws aside, not once have I met an actual pagan (read: not some kid trying to look badass) who had the desire to do harm to anyone or anything. I wouldn't worry too much about the person who threatened you.
Hope this helps.
Well, I think that any curse or magic attack isn't really likely to really affect you, except psychologically. (in your state of mind ... )
sweatdrop just see this link ...
http://www.dpjs.co.uk/lesser.htmlThe 'magic attack' would only affect you if you react to it ... ( just like poeple shouting at you with or a drawing of people without their clothes on, hugging each other. ) You only get affected by a curse if you let it affect you ...
mrgreen Anyway, look at the quotes below ...
