Learn Magic (REAL magic) the Stupid.. er Fast Way

Fun site!
this stuff is very interesting, keep it up!

Thanks! ^_^

I make chainmaille armor/jewelry, and I was wondering: could one use something like a chainmaille bracelet to focus energy and intention? For eexample, with the stoplight thing, you could put energy in or out of the bracelet to 'reward' or 'punish' stoplight spirits. Or maybe you could use the bracelet as a sort of circle or 'anchor' when doing something like astral projection...
I'll call the thing a 'Focus' from now on, if you like the idea, feel free to use the term. I suppose it is kind of a general magic-working tool, like a staff, but more portable, and definitely snazzier.

Jace,

You and I already used the same term for what you're talking about. ^)^

A few months ago I wrote about the process of creating a focus in How to Make Rings, Amulets http://www.powerbefore wisdom.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id =46&Itemid=46

Err, I musta missed that. Or it ended up subliminially in my head. I'll read the article for sure, it'll probably help with making this thing.

...
Its hard to remember what was actually your idea sometimes. :O

lol... No worries. The idea and term of a focus is far older than either of us. :-)

Nice font on the site name =)

Thanks!

I clicked on an ad link that said "learning magic the stupid way" that was on the side of a page on a webcomic. I thought it would lead to another webcomic. Not something that would actually consider magic... oh EXCUSE me, magicK with a k at the end, seriously. I wouldn't otherwise bother to comment, but it annoys me, what it promises at the top: "You are going to find what you are looking for". You know what that is? That is a pathetic deflective statement like PeeWee Herman repeatedly saying "I know you are but what am I?" to every insult in a string of insults thrown his way. Or this stupid trick my father would do: he would try to "prove" to me that I was immature - he would point out that I always have to get the last word, leaving me with the choice between shutting up letting him get in the last word, which would be the assertion that I am immature and therefore his assertion would be left unopposed since I would be shutting up to not oppose it...

or I'd respond to it, and superficially prove his statement right by getting in the last word. Fact is, if it can be debunked, then it is not useful: not merely useless to those who are here searching for something to debunk, because that is what debunking means. If something is real, then it is real regardless of what those who discover it themselves wish to be true. You want to find out if what you wish to be true has an effect on reality? Try this experiment. Jump off a building. While you're on the way down, wish really hard - no, don't just wish, but really truly BELIEVE that the ground won't smack you flat. See how well you can make it true by having faith in it. See how much effect your faith has on reality. That is the difference between science and religion. Scientists don't let what they want get in the way of what they observe. And yes, magic is rooted in religion, and frankly I think that's the single best reason not to believe in it.

I use MagicK with a K to differentiate from Stage Magic. Most stage magicians HATE Magick-ers because what they do is an amazing art completely based in scientific showmanship. Aleister Crowley was the first person to use the spelling and had some good arguments for it.

You'd be surprised how many left brain professionals such as Engineers and Physicists believe in Magick. Magick affords itself nicely to personal use of the Scientific process, and most people who progress in their Magickal life use the scientific process. How else can one tell if something is actually working or just a delusion?

Yes it does have the limitation of being affected by faith. If you don't believe in something being possible nothing will happen. I'm sorry that your experience will likely never experience magick. I hope you enjoy it anyway... ;-)

As for jumping off a building? Try the Grand Canyon.

As a child I was on a trip with my family. I was playing at the edge of the Grand Canyon. I remember ignoring my family's warning not to swing on the barrier at the edge where we were. I was at least 15 feet away from anyone else. I finished a swing, and went to turn around to walk away, and slipped. I was falling and all of a sudden I was grabbed and hauled back over the side. I don't remember getting in trouble, almost as if they didn't notice the fall.

Of course... I can't prove any of this, and I don't expect you to believe it, but for me? This was real. Be well and have a nice life.

Thank you for caring enough to put energy into fighting me. :-)

Your comment re: Magick vs. Magic had me do some research. Now that it's done, I'll be replacing most instances of Magick with Magic. While I prefer to differentiate intentional practice with the "k" I need to recognize that I'm throwing away search position with every single one. So I'll have to suck it up and change things.

I have experienced this.
My girlfriend dumped me for another guy.
I had faith, and she has told me the guy she choose over me is thinking about dumping her.
I thank you.

??? 0.o ???

Not quite sure I understand your comment, but I don't see any signs that you're trying to spam in any way so... you're welcome?

Good luck with your new GF.

A scientist with no imagination isn't a scientist, just remember all the knowledge in the world is worth shit if you don't have the imagination or open mindedness to use it

Always good to see a rational response to criticism... adds cred =)
Keep spelling =)

i was on face book talking to one of my friends, jed. i was talking and we some ohow ended up on Magic(K)-haha- and we talkied for HOURS about binding and alchemy and comulsion, u no just about everything, and he told me of the site, now i can get enuff, my mom says if i start to worship the devil(UGH!!!sterotyp) she'd get rid of my computer, and i found out a lot of what i accedintly learned, is all on thios site, my dad is the one who first planted the idea, stories of witches and stuff my granddad told him, and i guess now should thatnk both of yall. I started using the site to perfect my "form" of magic(K) and now i am really happy.

P.S. if anyone needs to learn how to get some fighting skills, but not spend 200 dollars on a class, try summoning and talking(SOPNT TRY TO BIND MY SIS KATY DIED FROM IT)masashi kishimoto

The very first day I logged onto the site, I saw an advertisement for an e-book. The title I do not remember, but I was intrigued to read it again.
Scott, is there any way to find what advertisements have been on your page?

"The Unsuspecting Mage"

Good Book. Fun. ^_^

i wonder if this stuff will let me project energy in any object to make me stronger then people who try to harm me

can't... determine... proper... answer...

That's like asking if the earth has intelligence. The answer is yes, no and please clarify your question... All at the same time.

someone did a protection spell and he was super strong couldent bring his arm down and when war or even touched his medicine bag no one could bring me down as welll and no one name the spell

bgfdxgdfhg

I agree... :-P

I want to know how to cast magic spells and i cant seem to find out how on this site can someone help me

Spells you are probably thinking of use "conceptual momentum" which is basically reality's "habits." aka... When someone does "X" then the universe does "Y". Unfortunately, most "magical" conceptual momentum I've found so far doesn't tend to do anywhere near the impressive stuff we see in movies.

I cover the topic more in this article...

i clicked on the link and it said the website couldnt find it could explain because i have no idea what you just stated

The comment box breaks the link; however, if you scroll down, the website tries to "guess" what you wanted. The first option it offers you is the correct link.

How can I find someone to guide,educate n help me? its hard to explain but im like exposed to negativity n bad spirits. Ive done cleanings at hme n paid at other times.i know they r there even if I dont see and here them. I use to when I was little. Sometimes they get closer right when im falling asleep or waking upthe negative ones wreak havoc in my life, with my heart n take away my piece of mind. I need a stronger foundation im not sure this majkes sense.

I didn't know where to go, I've been searching for months. I keep having, for want of a better word, "outbursts" e.g. seeing through walls, seeing onto the future/ past, I'm not sure what to do, any morsel of information would be appreciated, preferably as soon as possible
