[chloe]

Magic or sorcery are terms referring to the influence of events and physical phenomena through supernatural, mystical, or paranormal means. The term magic in its various translations has been used in a number of ways. In the context of parapsychology, magic is often defined as the study and application of psychic forces or energy. From the point of view of established religion, particularly Christianity, it has often been used as a pejorative term for the Pagan rituals of competing ethnic groups, as belonging to an inferior (hence blasphemous or idolatrous) culture. The magic and religion article deals largely with this aspect.

Among occultists, magic is a fairly neutral term which has some varied connotations, such as white magic and black magic. The famous occultist Aleister Crowley chose the spelling magick to distinguish "the true science of the Magi" from all its "counterfeits," such as stage magic. Today many use that spelling in the same or otherwise similar way, often to connote a Pagan, Wiccan, or Hermetic system of beliefs and ritual practises.

[chloe]

what if someone says they are going to put a spell on you and use your picture and use internet magic called radionics on you? then should you be scared?

My gut response is to say no.................
But then,
L. Ron Hubbard established a religion after his association with Crowley.
Maybe magic is only real to the people that believe in it.
