Look at the lives of these famous occultists, and then decide if it works:
Henry Cornielius Agrippa von Nettesheim: One of the most famous occultists of the middle ages. His work has gone on to inspire hundreds of "magical" books and writings. Despite all his occult knowledge, he died in poverty at age 41 in 1532.
Cagliostro, a famous French-Egyptian "magician", did the most embarrassing things, like putting a teacup on his erect penis and telling women "This is the only Bishop you will bow to!" He died in the Bastille in 1795.
John Dee discovered Enochian Magick and tried unsuccessfully to get the spirits to bring him money. He spent the final years of his life stripped of his honors and income and was forced to live incommunicado. He died in extreme poverty at 81.
Paracelsus: Thought himself a great physician, but he was really just an alchemist who had bizarre theories about human anatomy and prescribed dangerous remedies for his patients. This man was said to be arrogant and conceited, and was shunned by the other medical experts of his day.
He died broke at the age of 48.
Edward Kelly: An assistant of Dee, after failing to strike it rich with Enochian Magick, he was killed trying to escape prison. He had been imprisoned for his old hobby, counterfeiting.
Aleister Crowley had a nervous breakdown in spent 4 months in an insane asylum after trying to conjure a demon in a Paris hotel. In 1947 he died impoverished in a flophouse, forgotten by his family, a drug addict and alcoholic, despite strating out in life as a rich heir to Crowley Ale. He squandered it all on drugs and whores. "Success is your proof " - -Liber Al Vel Legis 3:46, Aleister Crowley
Gurdijef was a Russian con man who got involved in many money making scams. Once he dyed sparrows in peroxide and sold them as canaries! Even his biographers admit he had a "streak of charaltainism" about him. He created a system of bunk psychotherapy which is convoluted and even people who practice it can't clearly explain what is. In other words, it was the forerunner of Scientology.
Christian Rosenkrutz never actually existed. The whole Rosicrucian thing was started as a joke to make fun of occultists by a Lutheran minister named Valentin Andrea.
The Fox Sisters started the whole spiritist/seance’ movement in 1840. Years later they confessed the whole thing had been a hoax, but no one wanted to listen.
Samuel "Macgregor" Mathers: Eventually all the members of te Golden Dawn figured out Mathers lied about the secret chiefs, which led to him being kicked out, & the Golden Dawn being disbanded. He died in poverty from Pnumonia in 1918.
Jack Parsons blew himself up in his basement, making nitroglycerin, which he sold on the black market to supplement his income (apparently his money spells didn't work, either!).
Pamela Coleman Smith painted the illustrations for Authur Edward Waite's tarot deck, one of the most popular decks being used today. She died penniless and alone in a London flat.
Paschal Beverly Randolph inspired people like Aleister Crowley, the members of the O.:T.:O.:., and Henri Gamache. His books are still in print. He committed suicide at age 44, leaving his wife and son to live in poverty.
They couldn't make the occult work, neither can anyone else.
Here's a quote from Wiccan Tradition Head Silver Ravenwolf:
"For years I couldn't afford to go to a hair stylist (still can't, it's shop and chop for me). I got pretty good at stying my own hair from looking at magazine pictures" [SOURCE: Teen Witch, Llewellyn Publications, 2003 edition, page 145]
She also wrote a book about Prosperity spells. Does she sound like she can make it work? She can't even afford a hairdresser! My wife just spent $100 at the beauty parlor and we're far from rich.
Here's another quote from that same book:
"A lot of people tell me how bad their lives have gotten after casting a spell and tell me they won't do Witchcraft anymore. I tell them their lives would have been much worse for not having cast the spell."
If you want to really have a good life, ditch the occult.

Black magic or witch craft. Though I do not believe, I am seeing some people suffering and people say it is because of black magic. They go to some Tantric or Manthric to get relief. In any case, I can assure that such tricks will not work, if we are sincere, if we are straight forward and if we have a dynamic, stable, strong, steady, pure, simple and sharp mind. Our mind should be kept safely always. It safeguards and protects in all circumstances.

But of cos Black majic exists. So long as there's good and evil, heaven and hell. But i guess u'd have to believe in those as well.
There is such a thing as the metaohysical, and so much more to life and the world...so much energy to tap into and it all depends on ur motives and what the power of belief can manifest.
If u believe it, then it's real for u. if u will it badly, then it just might come true.... for u.
Remember though, curiousity has killed more than just the cat.

I don't.
Why.
B/c I've done research on Wicca b/c I was curious there is nothing about black or white magic in the Wicca laws.
Second hundreds of Wicca's will tell u the same thing.
Third I think it's just something comes from fictional books, tv shows and movies.

Come on. It is wrong to use the Craft to 'force' someone into doing something that is against their nature or inclination. Attempting to do this only brings back vibe back to you threefold.
If someone you fancy doesn't love you, deal with it and move on, grow up. Don't be childish and immature and decide that if they can't love you, they mustn't be allowed to love anyone - not only is this psychotic, it's cruel as well.
As for sending someone bad luck, well, if they are unlucky enough to have attracted your negative and apparently destructive attention, I think they've already got plenty of bad luck to be dealing with at the minute.
Grow up and stop thinking like a spoilt child. The Craft is not for you to get what you think you want, it's about love and celebration, unselfishly.

"Black" magic has nothing to do with curses. It is referred to any type of extension of your will in order to get material/carnal benefits for yourself.
Magic, is the training and using of your "will" (power). If you need some other person's love, in order to fullfil the desires of your hormones ;) or whatever, I would strongly doubt your belief in and knowledge of yourself and the forces within you. If, however you want the love of that person, in order to be able to open a gateway between you two, to help her/him, or in order to spiritually grow, there are many steps before you bring in the heavy artillery (ceremonial magic, voodoo, etc.).
1. Go ask them, tell them of your intentions, don't hold back any intentions. If that doesn't work, or if they go to the police about you...
2. Try implementing the rule of attraction: "same attracts same", i.e. try the same cloths colors as they use, the same language nuances, the same facial expression, etc....then go to them again and restate your intentions, if that doesn't work again,
3. Try to create vivid imagination of what would happen if you would achieve your intention. (hopefully there are no sex scenes there!) pour all your pure love and emotion into that picture for a long time. add as many details as possible and make it colorful and real!....then forget about the whole thing, and don't ever think about it again. after a week go to that person again and ask again with a pure heart. if it still doesn't work, e-mail me and we'll see what you can do!!! :)
Remember, the keys are:
-purity of thought and emotions, and cleanliness of your physical body in all steps.
-asking the person, stating your innermost desires.
In Love and Light.

How does one define if magic is black or white, positive or negative?
Magic starts by transforming the consciousness. It is a matter of personal ethics and judgement to decide whether or not this is healthy or not.
Just the simple matter of imposing ones will upon another is enough to raise a topical debate.

Magic is real, but it is neither good nor evil, neither white nor black.
Think about it like electricity. You can use electricity to heat and light a home and make it nice and cozy, or you can throw a toaster into someone's bathtub and kill them with it. The electricity is neither good nor evil, it's just how you use it that is.
Same goes with magical energy.

Nope.
I believe in magic, but not as a form of supernatural means to control others or as a way to break the laws of nature.
However, a healthy bit of psychological manipulation can make people THINK they've been cursed, or that they cursed someone. It can be used like a placebo, and get results. In other words, your belief in it gives you the impression that it exists and works.

We all have a spirit within, a higher form of Life that is living the Earth experience. That spirit has telepathic and empathic ability. We can know each others thoughts, feel each others pain. And we can use it to harm, or to heal.
