The concept of “Black” or supposedly “evil” magick has existed Hollywood for as long as we can remember, bathing cliche horror witches in a bad light and really setting the tone for all of thee Western World.

But, where did this idea of “black”, “white”, and “gray” magick come from, and is it really necessary?

Back when the Burning Times were in full-swing, the term “black magic” was used by the church to be synonymous with “consorting with the devil”. The idea was that it’s practitioners brought on illness, cursed crops and livestock, practiced necromancy, necrophilia, “laid with the devil”, and other generally fround upon actions according to the church at the time. Of course, very few (if any) of the accused witches were actually doing any of these things, as they were nothing more than local Pagans, worshiping nature and honouring the old gods. It is doubtful that they even had an understanding or distiguished a difference between “white” and “black” magick.

But, the term lived on in our modern world, and while it has lost much of it’s potency, people still consider “black” magick to be on the more sinister side of the spectrum.

What actually is Black Magick?

There are many different translations of what Black Magick is or isn’t. Most modern witches work with the understanding the Black Magick is magick performed to a molevolent (harmful) end toward the target. Cursing, hexes, mind-control, or any spell where the victim’s (target’s) will is taken from them is commonly considered black magick.

Donald Michael Kraig, in his book Modern Magick describes Black Magick as “…the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity withhh will, using means not currently understood by traditional Western science, for the puroise if causing either physical or non-physical harm to yourself or others, and is done either consciously or un-consciously.”

I personally perscribe to that particular definition.

So… what is White Magick?

Modern practitioners hold that White magick is primarily benevolent magick, meant for the good of other people. Healing, prosperity spells, fertility magick, etc. have all been claimed as “white” or good magick. Magick that ensures the complete free-will of a person and has a benevolent end is generally considered White Magick.

Feel-good spells exist the world over. Performing these spells is generally harmless, but, in my experience, also doesn’t generally call out the big dogs. In a world full of give and take, is it possible to constantly give and get what we want in return?

Some would say yes. Having a giving attitude and practicing magick that helps others gives you good karma, which you can cash in to the universe to get what you want.

For consistency, Donald Michael Kraig describes White Magick as “…the science and art of causing change to occur in confirmity with will, using means not currently understood by traditional western science, for the purpose of obtaining the Knowledge and Conversation of your Holy Guardian Angel.”

For simplicity’s sake, White Magick is meant to connect you with the Divine. It can be rewarding and beautiful, but not entirely functional…for yourself.

So then… there is a third option?

Yes! And this third option is known as Grey Magick!

Grey Magick is basically the middle ground. It is the area of magick that most of us dwell in (at least, according to my understanding and Kraig’s definitions). Grey Magick gives us the freedom to use magick to our own end. When used properly, Grey Magick will allow the performance of spells meant to heal you or others, give you or others prosperity, fertility, knowledge, power, etc.

Grey Magick works with the idea that “those who cannot curse also cannot heal”, and encourages enbrassing your Shadow self. But, it does not necessarily state that you have to actually curse.

If you are not careful, Grey Magick can very easily turn in to Black Magick.

Kraig’s definition of Grey Magick: “…using means (Magick)… for the purpose of causing either physical or non-physical good to yourself or others…”

Do Grey Witches actually curse, then?

Some do, yes. However, Grey Witches generally only curse when they see no other option before them. Their curses are general in their own defense or in the defense of others and, when curses do go down, they usually lean heavily on the offensive.

Offensive spells are still considered curses because their purpose is still to cause harm toward the target. Although done in what Grey Witches would consider a moral way, offensive “curses”, as opposed to defensive spells, “wound” the target(s) so the stop them from doing whatever it is that is harming you.

A classic Grey Witch “curse” has what I consider a contingency: If *target* does *thing* then *this* will happen to him/her.

Example: If Stacy tries to steal my money again then she will be sick to her stomach until it is returned to me.

-OR-

If anyone enters my home and wishes me or mine ill in the here and now or in the future then they will become paranoid, agitated, and anxious, and have a burning desire to leave.

Setting up curse with a contingency is one of the best ways to avoid negative reprocussions. In this way, if the target does the thing and activates the curse, then it’s them that stuck their hand in the fire, and thus it is their own fault. Sure, you may have lit the fire to begin with, but the boundaries were clearly set up beforehand.

There are some Grey Witches who still use full-blown curses. While this is not necessarily bad, it may have some of those aforementioned negative reprocussions, and is still considered Black Magick.

Whatever label we choose to give it, it is important to note that Magick itself is not innately “good” or “evil”. It is nuetral. What differentiates “good” and “evil” magick then is way it is used. A hammer can build or detroy, but it depends on the weilder.

As always, be good and be kind Mi Maripositas!

Watching Labyrinth and Kiki’s Delivery Service when I need any energy boost

Making my nightstand my secret altar

Collecting my little crystals and keeping them in what I lovingly call my bags of rocks

Being apart of a community

Bringing my own style to that community

So I found these cute little boxes at the craft store a few weeks ago and immediately had an idea: I could make a wish box!

First thing I did was paint the inside of the box my favorite color. Unfortunately the picture doesn’t give it justice but just look up Manganese Blue. It’s gorgeous.

When I think about wishes and manifestation, very clear images of spring time and growth and beautiful sunsets come to mind. So, i decorated the outside of the box to match this vision.

I’m very proud of how it turned out! The box really does look like a place where dreams come true. But, there was one last step before the box was ready for use: the activation spell.

The spell itself is really actually quite simple and doesn’t require much.

A sigil for manifesting and an activation plan. I like to use incantation words forged by combining words of different languages. In this case: Vericere from the latin words Veritas (true) and Facere (make). So the incantation for the sigil literally means “Make true”. The sigil itself was forged from the phrase “Manitfest and bring to fruition”.

The Spell

Cast your circle. Invite whatever dieties and spirits you wish to participate in the spell.

Paint your sigil onto the lid of your box using whatever color you want. I used a magenta color.

Activate the sigil by placing your hand over it and pouring all of the energy you can muster, and then speak the incantation aloud. In this case: Vericere. Remember to envision the intention of the sigil whilst doing this. That is actually why I prefer the incantation, because it helps focus my intent.

Hold the box in your hand, still pouring energy into it, and say something to the affect of, “This is manifestation box. Whatever is put in will be made true. So mote it be.”

You may end the spell there. Close your circle and be mundane for a while.

I believe it is important to point out that you may need to specify what can and can’t be made manifest through the Wish Box. Don’t put negative things into the box such as “war” and “suffering”. Though the box, in theory, could manifest these things, self control as witches is most certainly our responsibility. Thus, stick to things like “get a new, better paying job” and “find peace with myself”. In this way, the box will always be a positive experience.

Using the box is simple. Just write down whatever you wish to manofest and put it in the. Keep them there until the box is full or the thing has manifest, and then either bury the peices of paper or throw them in the river. (Which, btw, is another neat manifestation trick)

If it is your first time meditating do not try to meditate for a entire hour. Don’t even try to do it for 30 minutes straight. Take your time and gradually build up time as you get better. Start off with 3 to 5 minutes only. Focus on your breathing. Even though this may seem like a very minimal amount of time to meditate it works wonders, and can easily fit into even the busiest of schedules!

In honor of 10k followers I decided to make a part two of my beginner friendly spells and charms post!

—————————————————

• COURAGE SPELL

materials needed:

- candle (red candle for best results)

- space for meditation

First, light your candle and place it in front of you (safely!). Begin to meditate, feeling courage grow within you, while focusing on the flame. When ready, begin to softly chant, “Burning flame, Cooling wind, Summon courage from within, I call on all my strength and love, Send me power from above.” As you repeat, get louder. When you feel ready, finish chanting and blow out the candle.

• DIVINATION CHARM

materials needed:

- an orange (or other citrus fruit)

Think of a yes or no question. Eat the orange and then count the number of seeds. Yes= odd number of seeds. No= even number of seeds.

• SIMPLE CURSE BREAKER

materials needed:

- one black candle

Light the candle. Visualize the negativity leaving your body and floating into the flame, being carried away. Chant: “I crush this curse that was cast upon me. No more negativity.“ Repeat as many times as necessary. Blow out the candle.

• EASY BREEZY WISH SPELL

materials needed:

-gust of wind

When you feel a gust of wind sweep over you, take a moment and send out a wish, intention, or affirmation. Your message will be carried with the wind out into the universe.
