Let's talk magick here

[zitzou]

It's surprising how few threads are about this, and given the spooky season I think it's time we did. I suppose I could make some questions.
In what way does magick exist to you?
Have you done any cool rituals?
If you have some demon/deity, talk about them!
I'll start. I think magick exists in the sense that belief is a core principle of reality and you can do wacky stuff with it. I like to do the LBRP and I tried to summon a goddess I crushed on this weekend; she didn't show up but at least she blessed me in other ways.

You wanna do magic sniff glue bro xD

I HIGHLY recommend anyone interested in magic to get into some form of divination. While I think some people are more attuned to it than others, anyone can gain benefits from it. If you use an oracle deck, for example. I think scrying is too vague- I've personally never had any luck with it, but it is a pretty old form of divination. Overall even if you are a skeptic the cards meanings can help guide paths of thought on an issue you might not have thought of.

Personally, I was raised Atheist (like, by a militant Atheist) so I was pretty spiritually stunted as a kid (and still working on it) but when I started fooling around with tarot cards I felt powerful for the first time in my life, in a magical sense. I brought my uncle to tears doing a reading for him when I was 13 or so. He was separated from his family and convinced his wife was cheating on him- he asked me to do a reading specifically about whether she was being faithful. My reading said something to the effect of him on the path of ruining his own life and his wife being faithful to him. That she was suffering for his sake. There were a lot of hyper specific details too, about him heading toward ruin before he could turn things around. Ultimately I found out later that at the time he'd gotten back into heroin and his wife was scared to move back in with him, including her attempting suicide- he ended up hitting complete fucking rock bottom and went to rehab, and now his life is better than it ever was. Kind of shook me- at the time I had barely any idea what the fuck I was saying when doing the reading. (I was a literal child)

Anyone I've read oracle cards for, regardless of being a skeptic or not, has left the table with their beliefs about divination shaken.

There are forces out there we can only hope to scrape the surface of in a lifetime.

Magick to me exists in many ways and not just mental or all in your head. I've seen and experienced physical effects from magic and other things as well.
I have done plenty of ritual, not all of them worked but enough did such as summoning spirits, manifesting certain results, etc.
I work with Mother Anarchy as I wish to bring her into this reality and spread her as much as she wants.

There are things that exist that we cannot see or sense with human senses. They exist outside of our realm, but can affect our realm indirectly. Trans-dimensional satanic demons.

I don't know much about it. I know that magick(real magic performed by actuall wizards/Witches) and magic(sleight of hand tricks by entertainers i.e david blaine, penn and teller) are different things. I also sort of know about sigils as some symbols you make to do magically stuff, and that they need to be charged(I think). Also some sigils that represent demons ? That's probably mostly what I know. Not too much. I hear different things but I've never bother to dabble to much into it as I haven't heard good things. I'm still curious to see more though. I haven't see any proof of it. I've also heard about chaos magick, but I haven't bother to check it out
