A little history…
Most of the magick we see today comes to us from ancient Egypt and Chaldea. The Chinese, Hindus, and Tibetans developed their own unique types of Magick.
Western Magick was locked up by the Egyptian priests for thousands of years and then suppressed by the rise of Christianity. It was not until medieval Europe that the alchemists and Cabalists rediscovered Magickal knowledge.
Only during the past hundred years or so has western culture been open minded enough to permit widespread investigation of the subject. Only since the start of the twentieth century has science shown much interest in it all.
There are many different forms of magick, each with its own unique practices and beliefs.
Some of the most common forms of magick include:
Wicca: Wicca is a modern pagan religion that emphasizes the use of magick for personal and spiritual growth. Wiccans often practice rituals such as circle casting, spell casting, and divination.
Chaos magick: Chaos magick is a non-traditional form of magick that emphasizes the importance of individual creativity and experimentation. Chaos magicians often use a variety of techniques, such as sigils, invocations, and meditation, to achieve their goals.
Hedge witchcraft: Hedge witchcraft is a folk tradition that emphasizes the use of local herbs, plants, and animals in magick. Hedge witches often work with spirits and deities from their local area.
Traditional witchcraft: Traditional witchcraft is a system of magick that has been passed down through generations. Traditional witches often use a variety of tools, such as wands, cauldrons, and tarot cards, in their practice.
Ritual magick: Ritual magick is a form of magick that uses specific rituals and procedures to achieve desired results. Ritual magicians often work with a variety of deities, spirits, and other entities.
These are just a few of the many different forms of magick that exist. There is no one right way to practice magick, and what works for one person may not work for another. The most important thing is to find a form of magick that resonates with you and that you feel comfortable with.
It is also important to note that magick is not always about achieving specific goals. Sometimes, the purpose of magick is simply to connect with the divine, to explore the unknown, or to express oneself creatively. Magick can be a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation, but it is also important to remember that it is not a substitute for science or medicine.
