I must also mention that magic cannot make or help you fly, levitate, grow wings, become a demon or angel sinning or being good could do that...
Magic is not a cure all or fix all, magic may be useful and help with many things but just because you can doesn't always mean you should. There are many things that can be done with some old fashioned hard work and effort.
Magic cannot bring the dead back to life, make/force someone to like/love you, transport you through time and space, and make bunny rabbits appear out of a top hat.
Magic is a sacred power and to treat it like its a technology like your everyday cell phone that you have attached to you belt clip so you can whip it out in a seconds notice and use it, is demeaning and degrading of it's very essence and nature. You must study hard, practice often, learn from your mistakes and when you fall pick yourself up graciously and move forward.
Learn to seperate fiction especially fantasy from reality and within the realms of possibility as many great people have said "if everything was possible that would mean that something can be impossible, would it not, erago a paradox."
Believe what you want, do what you want but try to keep it from here if you've been repeatedly told no, it's not possible, your a nutjob etc. Try to be respectful, be kind to thers, and yearn to do good, stick with those simple guidlines and you may go far. If not then your best bet would to probably and most likey be to find another website to troll or harass.
Theillyrium: Thank you very much for the useful reply. I totally agree with everything you said, Magic is not something that should be treated as a daily tool. It should be worshipped because it is very special and unique thus, without it we wouldn't have been to what we are today. Thank you again very much. =D
iDragonfly: Thank you so much, I'm trying to fix the statut of 13 year old witches, most that I saw are slightly.....Illogical(for lack of better term). Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and I'm glad you like it.
I was talking with a 13 years old kid from this site that teaches to over 500 people, wrote over 200 articles, teaches magic in 3 other web pages and told me he alone did Katrina, the Japanese Tsunami and some other natural disasters. Remember to check the sources when you read any material or web. Man it's depressing getting trolled so easily by a 13 year old boy.
Why people in this site seem to ignore
A) Law of the big numbers.
B) Self Hypnosis
C) Neuro Linguistic Programming
A) People will post and share their success more than their failure. If I post a fake spell, some people will report back saying it worked. Because it worked by chance in only 1% of the cases. That is not a spell, that is just chance or something to do with point B or C.
B) We can delude ourselves really easily. We can have visions and waken dreams and even halucinations if we put our minds into it. It doesen't mean it comes from a higger self or entity. Our subconcious is always working and creating crazy stuff, believing something you think you remember or paying attetntion to a dream might be stupid, but it can also be a good insigt or help you achieve something that could lead you to personal grouth. It's ok unless you start saying you speak with angels because you are half angel and the end of the world is comming. That is bullshit and your random imagination's work, it will make people run away from you, surround you by stupid people and make you unhappy.
C) Our subconcious mind is much much inteligent than us. It can solve any problem and influence us into taking the right desicions as if it was magic. If you repeat an idea or concept, your brain will think is something you need and start working for you to achieve it. Is nothing external, its just your brain.
Breathing, meditation, rituals, etc. Help your health and your focus. That makes your brain, and that way your "magic" stronger.
The other point is the James Randi foundation. They did a great work and they still do. They tested even people who said that could feel energy, putting a glass between the hand of the psychics and the people tested and making the would be psychics guess when the voluntary's hand was on top of his with his eyes covered.
Similar experiments with people who said they could do things we also think we can do, as seeing energy. Getting feelings, guessing cards, etc. All failed.
I just guessed today that my brother was watching Tintin, and he is 10 000 km away from me. Some years ago I guessed that one friend was about to kill herself without any clue, rushed to her place and was able to grab her as she was about to jump form a 10 floor. Those where just coincidences? Law of the big numbers says yes. There where a lot of other things I couldn't "feel", and the stuff I guess is just me deluding myself. Is that an english word?
Franksoul: A 13 year old kid was the one that created Katrina? I don't think that is possible, neither do you I assume. Even if he was the lord of Magic in his past life or something like that; he can't just do that!!
And yes, people admit (or fake) their success, but deny their failures. I tried to cast a school-crush spell once, but it seemed I REALLY failed because now, whenever the boy would see me; he would turn around as if I'm a reaper. Luckily I got over that.
I do agree that some people claim to do Impossible things; such as a 12 year old girl claiming she can use telekinesis perfectly. I asked her what technique she use and she told me. "I use the Weingardium Leviosa spell" Either I'm having illusions or this spell belongs to Harry Potter.
Thank you for taking time to read this. =D Thank you also for the informations.

I always believed and still believe that common sense is one of our best friends ,even being a workers in so abstract and vast fields such spirituality and magick .We must be as trees our feet should be well positioned on the ground and only then we could safely wonder in the mirky waters of the vast sea called subconscious .People with no common sense or will fail into spiritualism ,having too big goals to fulfil and getting dissapointed ,or will go too deep and loose touch to reality .End of the day crazy people do not know that they are crazy (crazy i mean like mentaly insane not like having a weird behaviour ).Having small expections and working hard is always garanteed for succsses and stress free life .Now why people chose something else is beyond me .
I totally agree on most of this, i have seen some ridiculous post on things like that. And i have to say i wish there was some way to have a system on here that when you post it can keep post like that from happening here on the forums. like a spam test thing. And yes magic dose not fix everything in life. It may help you in your life but it dose not fix it. It just helps guide you if you ever needed help.
I believe in things like mythology, i know you can do those kind of things on astral planes only. But not the earth/psychical plane. People just don't understand. And assume they can turn into a vampire, werewolf, mermaid. Please don't get me started on the mermaid stuff. I have found so many different sites where people try to become mermaids and talk about side effects blah blah blah. I am like really. i stay off them but still though, its just role play and to get attention.
Your right most of you is human. But i do believ in the higher self. But that dosen't mean your higher self is anything of a demon,werewolf angel etc either.
So anyway i am kinda getting tired of people posting spells on to become mermaid or vampire etc. its annoying but its just my opinion.
@ Franksoul I would like to remind you that cursing on this site is against the rules, please try to refrain from using profanity in the forums and in chat. I suggest you read over your post before you publish it to correct any mistakes, such as that one.
