What is Black Magic and are Black Magic Spells Evil?

what is black magic? Are black magic spells evil?

What is "Black Magick"? A common assumption is that "all" types black magick spells are in some way dangerous- that they are working with forces that should not be played with, and are a type of spell work that should be avoided at all costs or you risk negative "payback", spirit infestation or some other type of negative repercussion .TV shows and films have popularised connotations of risk in association with users or practitioners of black magick spells, while linking its deployment with "devil worshippers" and "Satanists". While there is some truth in the above stereotypes for some types of black magick work, it must be understood that there are various types of practice within ANY system of magick, so it is a misconception to view all black magick spells and black magick systems as tools used solely to unleash revenge, harm others or cause destruction. "Black Magick" has been terribly stereotyped, and it is time to set the record straight on this subject.

Words Reveal Clues About Magick and Spells

Think about the word "write". We tend to think of the "top level meaning" of any given word, but the word "write" is phonetically identical to the word "rite". A "Rite" is a common term for a magical "ritual". A ritual can involve "writing". "Writing" is phonetically the same as the word "Righting". When you "right" something, it is a term we use to imply that we are "correcting" or "fixing" something. The word "fix" is actually a lesser known term that refers to a type of magick spell. It is no accident that all these words and their phonetic equivalent "connect" to one another to form conceptual links. People come to spellcasters to "fix" problems in their life or to request a "course correction" in their current life path so that things move along in a better direction. You've probably heard of the word "Mage" - this describes someone who practices Magic. The word "game" is an anagram of the word "Mage". When you involve yourself with black magick, or any other type of magick, you are metaphorically "taking control" of the "game called life" and steering it in the definitive direction. This places you in the "driver's seat", instead of being a passive passenger. Using magick is a form of exercising your Sovereign "right" to "write" your own life path through using magickal "rites".

The word BLACK in French is NOIRE. If you anagram this word, you have "Irone". Phonetically, the word "iron" can be spoken in two ways: (1) The "e" is silent, so you have the word "Iron". This is associated with something that is solid and has strength. Think of all the foods rich in "iron" and how such foods are recommended for people to "up" their "strength". Instantly, connonations of something STRONG and SUBSTANTIAL are associated with the term "black", through its French rendering. (2) "Irone" sounds like "Irony". This is a term we use to describe something that is "ironic"- in simple terms, this refers to something having a meaning that is "opposite" its commonly understood meaning. Which circles us back to the stereotypical labelling of "black" magick being "bad" or "dangerous", while making it clear that "black magick" is flexible, ie there are different types of black magick. So NO, not all black magick is "evil"!

Not all Black Magick Requires Working with Spirits or Demons

When the question "what is black magick" arises, you may have a mental picture of some cloaked figure in a dark room, conducting some mysterious looking ritual. Pentagrams and candles flank the space as the witch reads aloud from some huge, ancient looking Grimoire, while a nebulous form begins to arise from the salt-rimmed circle on the floor - a Spirit is emerging, taking shape as the incantation progresses further....Okay, maybe this is a little on the dramatic side but this kind of presentation is not far off what we are "programmed" to imagine happens when we hire a witch to cast a black magick spell. It's no surprise that black magick has become so stereotyped and misunderstood when the general populace has only ever heard of Aleistair Crowley or watched a season or two of Supernatural, or reads the Epstein Files information on social media.

It is true that many practitioners of black magick do indeed work with spirits and entities of various kinds as they go about weaving their black magick spells. Among such types will be those who work with darker forces - demons, incubi, succubi are just a few examples - while others will engage with spirits and entities who are more neutral in nature. In either case, this is usually achieved through some type of ceremonial magic practice that works to "conjure" the required spirit or entity, who works on behalf of the magician or witch to do their bidding. There is a VAST difference between "diabolical" practices and the type of black magick that I personally work with. You certainly do NOT need to be sacrificing chickens, summoning demons, or doing lengthy "fire" magick to achieve your personal aims. It is absolute hogwash that the intensity of a magick spell is increased if you only work with the "darker" forces or burn things in a cauldron. The power of a spell is NOT contingent upon whether or not you use "dark" forces, so please don't fall for that nonsense.

Not all Black Magic is Dark in Nature

Magickal Power is a force that can be harnessed in ways that do NOT require "dark" practices. The Creation Power of Life itself courses through our reality, our minds, our bodies, our hearts. There is no greater power in existence. This Great Power - a neutral force- can be accessed and harnessed by the black magick practitioner, providing an unparalleled intensity of energy with which he or she works as they wield this magnificent energy to weave an intense spell. This is the Force that I work with when casting my own black magic spells. It exists completely independently of the world we inhabit, yet it permeates our realm. I call this "True Source Power". It is ultimately a force for "good", and for that reason, I do not peronally engage with darker type of black magick spells that are designed to cause destruction or harm to people. I strongly advise you avoid such types of practice as this involves aligning with some other type of vibration which is NOT from the same Source I work with. In my practice, I offer a range of more basic spells called Hoodoo Magick, but I offer the black magick to ramp up the power. So essentially, this type of magick is more POTENT than other systems, and this is what makes it excellent for moving stubborn situations, working on more complex issues, or "boosting" the magickal pontential to drive the more vibrations deeply and thoroughly at your target.

Black Magick Spells and the Concept of Backfiring

With the exception of those black magick spells that involve the cooperation of dark spirits, entities or demons, or spells designed to unleash revenge, disaster, illness, curses and other types of harm, the concept of "backfiring spells" and "negative cause and effect" related to performing magick is nonsense. The MIND is the greatest conjurer of all; we can attract exactly those things we expect- or fear- we will attract, simply through thinking about the "worst case scenarios". Everyone has heard of the Law of Attraction and the idea of Manifestation, and these concepts should be understood and appreciated by anyone seeking to have black magic spell work done, for they form the foundation of magickal practice. If you order a spell and find yourself worrying alot that you are going to cause some sort of upet in your life "because" you have bought a spell....well, you are setting up an energetic expectation to attract something negative into your life. NONE of the magick spells I sell cause ANY type of negative repercussion. If I was murdering chickens as part of your ritual, that would be a different story!

Black Magick Spells and the Concept of Violating Freewill

Another misconception about black magick is that this type of spellcasting turns people into puppets who do things against their own freewill. Sure, there are some witches out there working with intensely dark forces or exotic Voodoo "zombie" plants known to cause brain fugue, and this kind of collaboration may very well result in an effect that manages to override a person's freewill, resulting in them doing things or acting in certain ways that are quite out of character. But this kind of black magick spellcasting is extremely rare. You are unlikely to come across it, and if you do, you'd probably be paying insane amounts of money to have it done.

A black magick spell works to influence a person, but there has to be a seed - however tiny - of willingness on their part to be led or steered in a particular direction. Many of the black magick spells that I perform simply focus on working with this "seed" - I view it as something is often buried deeply within a person under layers of emotional blocks or fears, and this seed just needs a bit of watering (through the black magick spell) to help it to grow. As it develops, a certain energy is released that the person can choose to respond to -or not. At no time are they doing ANYTHING against their own freewill.

For a more indepth exploration of this topic, have a read of an article I wrote that discusses the question of whether magick affects freewill.
