Is there any proof that magick is real, and could there be good magick against evil?

Regarding the spelling, the reason it is spelt with a k is to distinguish it from the David Copperfield variety.  The definition of Magick is: the art and science of causing change in accordance with the will.  \n\nThis means at one extreme that if I will my PC on and in willing it I cause my hand to flip the power switch I have just witnessed Magick and in that case the results can clearly be seen but, it is not very magical (no fireballs or cool sound effects).  If I apply my will and suddenly, my wife walks in and switches it on I have also witnessed Magick this may seem very magical but could be pure coincidence and there are a number of reasons for it.  The practitioner of magick will insist that regardless of how his will was manifested it was because of him willing it that the manifestation occured.\n\nSo, like everything in the spiritual arena, there is no proof, only people that witness things and draw conclusions. If you can win the Lotto at will I think people will start to beleive in your magickal powers.  Until then it is pureley a mechanism for personal and mental growth which works for some and not for others.

evil in essence does not exist.\nevil is merely the state of being without good

I have been Wiccan for 8 years.  Wiccans believe that everyone has a clairvoyant/magickal potential.  So of course, for the better part of that 8 years I have been casting spells.  Most of my spells deal with healings, aura cleansings, divinations, and power channelings.  Although I have also done seances, bindings, protections, and exorcisms.  These are rarer forms of magick but good to know if the need arises.  \n\nI'd love to chat further, but I'd like have more info on what intentions you have for your magick.  \n\nIf you have yahoo IM you can add me.  Valhallabridge.\n\nThe big things to remember about Wicca is that we vow not to harm others.  To do so would only inflict harm upon ourselves threefold.

Nothing magically appeared. God created it. Magic is using illusion to mimic powers such as those that only God has....

Oh, dear.  So many of them have been disproven.  Be sure to look up the methods of fraud being used as well, such as statues with yes of porous stone, etc.  Best to be careful, as the church doesn't need that sort of publicity.\nAt the same time, science never suggests that something is false because so many have been found to be false.  There may be some real miracles, and waiting for God to prove himself is hubris in the extreme.  I can think of few other apparitions I'd rather meet in a dark alley, or in the skies.\n\nThat some people have dream-like visions while awake is already proven fact.\n\nI had a "vision" of God when I was seventeen.  I still leave open the possiblity that it might have been something else, despite the wonderful results of that experience and knowing it's truth.  There are always other possibilities for what caused my experience that a sane and thoughtful scientific man should consider.   Yet, we must never be afraid to explore the unexplored.\n\nKeep searching.

I know you may not want to believe it, but there are evil spirits that can take posession of people. I have seen it. And I would encourage you not to be too confident about your opinions on this. There is more out there than you may have encountered, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

I would like to see what proof and science you have to verify this.  I always thought it was faith that confirmed its existence.

I want it to be, along with other phenomenon, so I'd be happy to see real proof.  I've seen proof of some kinds of ESP that was undeniably "Something", so why not.

It so tempting to try and believe in these things. Truth is, Satan himself would be pleased if you did. Because God sees and knows all. \n\nAs a human, you never have to find out what's going to happen to you. If you persist on this, you will stay where you are and do nothing, thus negating all what God has given you. On the other hand, if you work hard and pray hard, you will know where you're going without the need of witchcraft. A strong person needs not the falsehoods and lies to know his future, he makes HIS own future with God's aid and help.

Yes the powers of Satan are real. The evidence can be found in the Bible as you have already stated. His powers are also apparent in life today, in some of the things society justifies, for which their is no real justification. His powers are also in evidence in some physical manifestations that many people reject as superstition or a desperate attempt to prove their religious beliefs. \nSome of these physical manifestations include possession or obsession. Possessions are documented in the Bible, but also in modern medicine. There are numerous reports found all over the world made by doctors, who were not religious, but were forced to accept the existence of Satan, demons, and devils when patients of theirs' exhibited signs of possession and after long, drawn out exorcisms by Catholic priests all signs of diabolical possession were gone. Both possessions and obsessions of a legitimate nature are recorded by many psychiatrists in the world as well as medical doctors. During these exorcisms, one of the steps of ousting the possessor is making it state its name. In one case, the one on which the movie "The Exorcist" was based, the possessor identified himself as Satan and his legion.\nMany saints, though some reject this title of them, have also been physically abused by Satan and devils. During their lives these saints were thrown against walls, hit, and battered by unseen adversaries. These ocurrences were not just testified to by the saints themselves, but also by witnesses, who were astonished to see these saints locked in struggles with something, lifted in an upright position above the ground or their beds, thrown aside, and subjected to other abuses. These saints would have the marks of these battles in bruises, broken bones, cuts, and scars. These fights with Satan are well recorded in hospitals where these saints were examined and by the testimonies of the witnesses. Some of these saints include St. Jean Vianney, St. John Bosco, and, a man many consider a saint, Padre Pio. I hope that whoever reads what I have written does not dismiss this out of hand but investigates it for themselves.

First of all there is no such thing as black or white magic.  Before you start to practice anything, get it straight... Magic is not about black or white, good and evil... It is about NATURAL BALANCE and harmony with the universe.  If you are really interested in "The Old Ways", e-mail me and I would be happy to discuss it with you.  Don't be influenced by the Christians... to them, if it's not what they believe in, it is evil. Nothing about nature is evil.  There are good and bad choices, there is negative and positive energy.  If you wish to practice "The Old Ways" realize there is more to it than what it appears to people with narrow minds.\n\nSorry, I just have been bombarded with insults for my beliefs lately.  Anyway, here is a site that may be of help... tells exactly how to build your voodoo altar: http://www.livingspirits.com/education.cfm?id=21     this is the exact link for creating your own altar.  Good Luck.

Of course these things are real. Let me give you an analogy.\n\nYou know once the government gave me and a group of people an I.Q. Test and I was having a blast with the questions, I'm nerdy like that, LOL. Any way, this guy looks at me and says "Don't bother answering those because there aren't any answers to them; they just ask them to drive you up the wall." I looked at the guys paper and saw it was blank so I asked him "Have you tried to answer any of the questions." and he replied "Yeah but they don't make any sense." To which I replied "They make perfect sense to me." He replied "Yeah, but you're one of those real smart guys, you can make up answers to those questions, cause you guys are way out in outer space."\n\nAnd so we have the truth of what "superstition" really is; anybody can score high on an I.Q. test, all it takes is effort: Just because some one has had an experience doesnt mean they are delusional, what it means is that they've taken the time to look deeply into things, and have walked where you have yet to walk.\n\nI've done exorcisms, and I've got physical scars from those M*&&^% F)*%$. I've had people into black magick send Mummies (not the maternal type) and demons after me that attack their prey in the Beta state of consciousness. You can't feel pain in dreams, but you can in the realm that is parallel to them. \n\nYes, you can not only protect yourself from them, but you can hurt them, and even kill them; with the right knowledge and hands on experience. Protection is easy, rather it's Jesus or what ever, they feed on your own evil and true good will protect you: Make no mistake, God is very real: to say these things don't exist is like that guy explaining intelligence away, it's as spiritually as he was intellectually lazy.\n\nIf you've read enough on this then you are probably puzzled as to why I have my picture available and why I am so open. Simple enough; I like Miyamoto Musashi.\n\nIt's as real as the floor beneath your feet; and if you have to ask some one else about it, I'd suggest not getting involved with it until you don't have to ask such preschool level questions about it. Not criticizing you, just letting you see where your level of knowledge on this subject is at; there are plenty of subjects I'm just as ignorant of.

They are both the same.  You can make them as strong or as useless as you like!  You can view them as good versus evil or like the Chinese does: Ying And Yang.  One can't exist without the other existing!  You could've said white magick versus black magic and my answer would be the same as above.  It's all depends how you use it.  Nothing is evil until you use it for evil!

I believe in magick. \n\nBut I do raise my own personal energy, and this I send out into the universe. \nI like to think energy is like magic or magic is like energy. \nIt must be said that magic has its own energy. \n\nUsing ideas from \n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n1905 , Einstein created the quantum theory of light, the idea that light exists as tiny packets, or particles, which he called photons. Alongside Max Planck's work on quanta of heat Einstein proposed one of the most shocking idea in twentieth century physics: we live in a quantum universe, one built out of tiny, discrete chunks of energy and matter. \n------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nWe live in a quantum universe, one built out of tiny, discrete chunks of energy and matter.. \n\nMixed with Every Action has an Reaction by Sir Issac Newton's laws of physics \n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \n\nI felt .. if we draw on our inner power / energy, call it magic and this produced energy/ magic is then push it from ourselves out into the universe. \nAs everything we send out into the universe comes back, I do feel it can come in different ways to us. As every action has a reaction. \n\nBlessings ALD

witchcraft is obviously real. because it's all about faith. u have to truly put ur mind into it to beleive it. \n\nBUT....it has no harm. no one can curse you (except god). so either that pyshic lady is a street hustler (meaning whatever she says is a load of crap) ...or she's real and she knows what she's talking about and what she's talking about is karma. its ur fate.

Yes and no.  Magick is a simple and yet sometimes very complicated thing, depending on your point of view and your experience with it. I've place a link below that might help you better understand.  Good luck!
