Do you believe in magic like witchcraft,white and black magic.i watched this movie "the craft" in tbs before its about witchcraft and i was really curious about it.So i made a search in google and I was surprised that there's a lot of websites that sell stuff related to magic.They have books for spell and incantations.and candles and more,it creeps me out but i was amazed at the same time.So,do you really believe in magic?

You appear to have Asian features. Are you a Fil-American?
Anyway, yes I believed in witchcraft. I have tried it before and to my surprise the amulet and incantations I bought worked.
Now, I do not practice it anymore because I would rather be within the Grace of God.

Yes, I do believe in magic in what ever form it is, as I have seen many practicing such thing. Rather I myself have been a victim of black magic which was later on difussed by a pious person. There are many professionals in my country who acctually do these things and are paid by the people who ask them to do such things. They claim that nothing is impossible for them whether it is about marriage or forcing a person to love you.

We human beings possess magic. we do!
There are many things assumed to have a basis in science.
I disagree with those who state that science is capable of explaining all the things that transpire within our universe.
I believe science will never be able to explain away our capability to love, to create inspiring forms of art and to fully appreciate those things. To sacrifice and to have faith.
I believe there is a side to science which must always, at the end of the day, give in to the notion that magic does in fact exist in the soul of a child, the complex songs of the birds and whales, the electricity we route through endless uses, DNA and even the mysteries of matter itself.
We live in an age in which any visitor from just a century ago would not hesitate to describe as magical.
We are all sorcerers, booting our computers and cells and ipods. Boarding a jet for a same-day cross-continental flight. The flicks of switches, the pushes of keys are our incantations.
Magic?
It's in us, and all around us!
Revel in the power!

Magic[k, most people use a K, I do not.], is real. You can call it many things though, "Gut instinct," "expanded awareness," "Self-delusion," but in the end, in my mind, it is all magic. The main thing is that you believe it is magic that you are doing, not delluding yourself.
How is it done? there are many ways. Universally, correspondencies are used, as in colors, shapes, glyphs, numbers, scents, whatever else, that in some way connects to the intended result. Those are important, as they focus the will. Universally, the magician, witch, whatever, contains the energy in a circle [a non-physical barrier that separates the world], or some other device [as I recall, the ritual of the Rosy Cross is used too].
The thing that is done is focusing your will. Magic words [as in the things you say] keep your will focused.
Frequently, other things occur, Invocation [A power entering you, or being petitioned], or evocation [forcing a power to help, possibly in exchange for things]. Both things deal with uniting Microsom [you] with the macrosom [Universe, God, whatever is the entirety of all the parts], and gaining the power of a god.
After everything is said and done, the energy has been moved, and is flowing in a different manner as to how it was before, it may not be felt immediately, but not thinking or speaking of it helps it manifest.
Do not think it is a game though, where you can ask for whatever you desire, you are interacting with forces far more realized in power than you [Each of us is a star, we must tap into it though]. Magic is an art, and science, it requires thought, and creativity.
I don't know if that makes sense, but the ultimate reality is that, as Mister Crowley so marvelously said, "Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will."

Are you talking about fortune tellers and the likes?I think some of them are genuine but most of them are fraud.But who knows,who are we to judge right?But personally,i would never try on any form of magic.

magic I believe happens everyday, like when you see awesome beauty around you, when you feel beautiful and experience magical events in your life that to me is magic, It does not necessarily mean you invoke spirits and charms, They mean the simple joys we experience in our daily lives. especially when you fall in love.
