wow, I knew it was bad, but i wasnt sure. I wont do it. thx

Answer 1

Yes I know what they are: Black Magic and White Magic are both sorcery/witchcraft and seance is communicating with the dead.
Its all Tricks of the Devil therefore are evil no matter how you spin it. Choose to not get involved with any of the 3 and find new forms of entertainment.

Answer 2

Dark magic uses the negative and white magic uses the positive. A seance is calling up the dead to offer to talk to them. To do this you often have to allow them to join a circle of some sort and give them access to your energies (the things that keep you alive) so they have the strength to affect things physically. Unless you can protect yourself (Cast a circle) then I'd recommend against it. If you want something witchy to do try drawing down the moon after you've cast a circle. Or divination is always good fun. You can make runes with stones, or buy tarot cards or use a regular deck, use coins or yarrow for i ching. If you have to talk to the dead then circle of salt and cast a circle first. If its a ouija board, either bury the coin after or smash the glass.

Answer 3

I'm going with scafalean on this one, too.

So you want to go hang out in a graveyard and have some spooky fun. OK. Make it up as you go along and make sure you all are having fun while your doing it and are not harassing or disturbing anyone or dessecrating anything.

Magick is something else and is a complex thing. White magic includes rituals and mystical work for healing, black magic includes rituals and mystical work for cursing and(sometimes) binding and banishing. Seances are little dramas in which persons try to communicate with spirits of dead folks (and typically don't but have a little fun thinking that they are).

Answer 4

black magic studdies the dark arts, white magic is a good magic, a seance is a calling of a spirit to the physical world in a group setting

Answer 5

I'm not being mean, so don't take this the wrong way, but I can already tell from your question that you guys have a seriously misconstrued perception of what magic really is (as well as its purpose). Magic is nothing like what Hollywood portrays it to be and it's not something to simply screw around with. If you expect it to be like what you see on T.V., you're going to be horribly, horribly disappointed.

If you're really interested in magic, I would be happy to suggest you some books to read to get you started (just send me a message).

If you're just doing it for kicks, I would suggest not wasting your time. If you just want to have fun with your friends, why don't you try something else?

Answer 6

black magic is bad, white magic is good, and a seance is when you call the spirit of someone dead to talk to you. I've never seen any of them work.

Answer 7

I think it defends on your cloture. You can go get a book about magic at the bookstore.

Answer 8

White magic is good, there is such things as white witches which are good.

Black magic is evil magic, like fairytale witches.

Answer 9

I am in full agreement with scafaelan on this.

Answer 10

all are wicked and bad.these things are from satan the devil.
God's View of the Occult
At 1 Corinthians 10:20, the apostle Paul warned Christians: "I do not want you to become sharers with the demons." Just who are the demons, and why is it so dangerous to get involved with them? Simply put, the demons are former angels, who have chosen to follow Satan the Devil. Satan means "Resister" and Devil means "Slanderer." According to the Bible, this former angelic son of God made himself a resister and a slanderer by choosing to rebel against God. In time, he enticed other angels to join him in his rebellious course. These allies thus became demons.—Genesis 3:1-15; 6:1-4; Jude 6.

Jesus called Satan "the ruler of this world." (John 12:31) Satan and his demons have "great anger" over their impending destruction. (Revelation 12:9-12) Not surprisingly, those who have become involved with the demons have found them to be vicious. One woman in Suriname who grew up in a family that practiced spiritism saw firsthand how the demons "enjoy torturing their unwilling victims."# Getting involved with these cruel spirit creatures in any way is thus extremely dangerous!


Beware of Web sites that
promote spiritism

For this reason, God commanded his ancient people, the Israelites, to avoid all occult practices. "Everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah," warns Deuteronomy 18:10-12. Christians were likewise warned that "those practicing spiritism" would meet destruction at God's hand. (Revelation 21:8) Even dabbling in the occult is condemned by God. "Quit touching the unclean thing," commands the Bible.—2 Corinthians 6:17.

Breaking Free From Occult Practices
Have you made the mistake of dabbling in the occult? Then consider what happened in the first-century city of Ephesus. Many there "practiced magical arts." But some were moved by the powerful works the apostle Paul performed with the aid of holy spirit. The results? "Quite a number of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them up before everybody. And they calculated together the prices of them and found them worth fifty thousand pieces of silver. Thus in a mighty way the word of Jehovah kept growing and prevailing."—Acts 19:11-20.

What does this tell us? That if a person wants to escape the clutches of the demons, he or she must destroy all paraphernalia related to satanic worship! This includes all books, magazines, posters, comic books, videos, amulets (items worn for "protection"), and demonistic material downloaded from the Internet. (Deuteronomy 7:25, 26) Discard any paraphernalia that might be used in divination, such as crystal balls or Ouija boards. Also, get rid of music or videos that feature satanic themes.

It takes courage and determination to take such bold steps. But the benefits can be great. One Christian woman named Jean% purchased a computer game that seemed harmless at first. As she worked her way through the game's levels, she discovered aspects of the game that had spiritistic overtones. Before long she began having violent nightmares! "I got up in the middle of the night," says Jean, "and destroyed the game CDs." The result? "I haven't had any trouble since."

If you demonstrate real determination to break free, you will succeed. Recall the determination that Jesus showed when the Devil tried to lure Jesus into worshiping him. "Jesus said to him: 'Go away, Satan! For it is written, "It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service."' Then the Devil left him."—Matthew 4:8-11.

Do Not Fight Alone
The apostle Paul reminds us that all Christians "have a wrestling . . . against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12) But do not try to fight Satan and his demons alone. Get help from your God-fearing parents and the elders in the local Christian congregation. It may be embarrassing to confess your involvement, but it can result in your receiving much-needed support.—James 5:14, 15.

Remember, too, that the Bible says: "Oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you. Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you." (James 4:7, 8) Yes, you have the support of Jehovah God! He will help you to break free from the snare of the occult.
