| There are a variety of
ways that Magick can be defined. These some ways magick
can be grouped: |
| Sympathetic - an action
which represents what you want happen, for example
planting a blessed seed and as it grows wishing for an
increase in happiness |
| Contagious - absorbing
power directly from another thing, for example wearing an
animal skin on a hunt |
| Attracting - a mixture of
sympathetic and contagious magick to bring about a
desired effect |
| Banishing &
protective - driving away negative influences |
| Binding - binding people
to be faithful or from doing harm |
| |
| Under these magick can be
split further to include: |
| Personal - magick for
yourself |
| For others - magick for
friends/acquantainces |
| Increase positivity -
general magick, for example magick for the well being of
the earth |
| |
| In a different source I
found magick grouped in the following ways: |
| Candle - using coloured
candles to represent the four elements |
| Sympathetic - same as
above |
| Representational - using
a belonging to represent a person, i.e. voodoo |
| Symbolic/Divination -
interpreting symbols to uncover the future |
| Crystal/Gem - Stones give
off vibrations which will help the person casting the
spell |
| Knot/Binding - using
rope, string, ribbons to bind a person from doing harm |
| Moon - using the phases
and power of the moon |
| Elemental - using either
one element for desired effect or all together for more
energy |
| |
| And in another source I
found three main catogories: |
| Natural - candle magick,
herbal magick, stone magick, charms, etc |
| Sympathetic - (folk) old
remedies, voodoo dolls, symbolism |
| Ceremonial -
powerful/dangerous magick, spells and rituals followed
rigidly |
