Do you believe in magick?

Im making this poll to find like-minded people.

No.
But there is a thin line between magic and science.

I mean, for example, advanced technology can look like magic to a less advanced civilization.
We don't even have to look far.
If a person from ancient times is teleported to our times, many things will look like magic to such a person.

Also, phenomena that we do not understand are explained with the help of "magic".
We do not understand them, so we can consider it as some kind of "magic".

So, I treat magic as wrong conclusions, lack of knowledge, or the perspective of a less advanced creature.

Of course, I have nothing against such things as meditation (some people and groups attribute magical properties to meditation).
Meditation can have positive properties, but it has nothing to do with magic. It is simply biology.

I don't believe in magick, as it's generally considered supernatural or beyond scientific explanation. Most interpretations of magick involve phenomena that lack empirical evidence and go against the laws of nature as we understand them.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

No, it's all nonsense.

 

[nux_walpurgis]

I believe that magic, real magic, is the devil in a mask, making you believe in spirits or trees or whatever, but in reality you are praying ton him. And he sneers

 

[mango-meridian]

Yeah! But not sure I'd want to try to explain it why I believe in it.

 

[Jarni]

No, but I'd like to understand why when I think about something bad, it happens (rather quickly)....

When I was inpatient after trying to kill myself, they gave me Magic Cups with dinner because my diet has been chronically terrible. They tasted good, they liked to give me Butter Pecan flavor a lot for some reason.

Depends on what you mean by magick. Performing miracles like creating fire and water from nothing? It's impossible. Curses and blessings? Yes.

 

[kat6]

Yes… But different people have different definitions.

I believe there are many paths to it, and more than one right answer… But some paths that resonate with me are somewhat aligned with my belief system and practices are ceremonial magick and some Thelema. Is that what you meant?

 

[yariousvamp]

[Dr Iron Arc]

I don't believe in magic but it would take some high level advanced wizardry just to make my life more liveable.

 

[falling_snow]

Totes. It's my own way of religion, not in the Wicca way tho

 

[UnluckyBastard]

Look, I'd love to believe magic exists and the world is more than just the material. I just didn't see any convincing evidence of it. It's disappointing, but unfortunately this is what we're stuck with.
