@@drangelapuca And again, epic Magus patreon lecture this morning of Krammerz, order his book and will get to check it out tomorrow! I wonder if Krammerz and Franz Hartmann crossed paths....we shall see.
@drangelapuca you disrupt the divine order BEAUTIFULLY with your makeup in every video lol!! I love your makeup in this vid the most. you’re glowing! 🖤 great video content too 🧙♀️
There is also a karmic load one must reconcile when using magic, at least here on earth. You can use it sure but everything isn’t free and without cost. Cause and effect.
Agreed. That's why even when practicing gray magick like manifesting a new car, all focus should be on service to others and all glory given to prime creator. A new car should be about the money given to the salesman, mechanic, gas station attendent, ect.
This video by Angela offers a compelling perspective, particularly for individuals who view the occult as inherently evil. The section on Aleister Crowley is particularly insightful, as it effectively challenges the simplistic dichotomy of good versus evil. Instead, it emphasizes the distinction between empathy and cruelty, with Crowley asserting that intent is paramount in understanding one’s actions. Many people fail to recognize that the emotions and thoughts they harbor deeply within themselves are, in essence, a form of magic. Raised within the Jesuit tradition, I often felt a profound sense of emptiness, and growing up in the 1980s amidst the so-called Satanic panic, I never could have anticipated that I would one day embrace the practices of the occult. As it turns out, much of what I was taught was based on misinformation. My journey has not been about the destruction of the world or engaging in any form of malevolent activity, as some might assume, but rather, as Crowley put it, it is about self-empowerment through self-knowledge and spiritual growth. Through this path, I have come to recognize the immense power of empathy and compassion. These qualities have brought an overwhelming sense of joy and peace into my life, allowing me to grow in ways I never imagined. I am grateful for the work Angela is doing to illuminate these often misunderstood topics. More people would benefit from deeply engaging in self-exploration. It is, without a doubt, one of the most rewarding journeys one can undertake, and it is accessible to anyone willing to confront their prejudices and fears.
🧙♀️ Excellent video, thank you very much for your valuable work! You have often mentioned Giordano Bruno in the last few videos, a separate video about him would be very interesting. 🧙♀️
Thank you yet again for another interesting and informative video! 🧙♀ That was an excellent discussion of a very nuanced, and potentially controversial, topic. Very well done!
Really interesting video. I think one of the main fears people have about Magik is that it gives an element of power and control. In politics we have the concept that power corrupts and will be used incorrectly so i guess people assume magik would be used the same way. 🧙♂️
Practicing magic led to some negative results in my life, but so did organized religion. Ultimately, I found practicing presence and conscious awareness, raising my own personal frequency and not giving an F what anyone else prescribes, is the way to go.
If evil exists it is about imposing your will on others. Thus defining magic as evil is itself evil as are all forms of Evangelism. But that's just my view and it would be evil to impose it on anyone.
You would need to define magic (and by extension what rites do not constitute magic; eg, what distinguises magic from sacrament, if anything?) first and then compare that against the metaphysics, ontology, teleology, and ethics we are assuming first. If you assume all magic stems from demonic activity in an Orthodox Abrahamic framework, it is probably evil. If you assume the definitions of something like Chaos magic under a utilitarian framework, then the results would dictate it. If we assume some of the proposals of groups like Early Modern alchemists, it could be ethically mandatory.
I would say that people get confused about what is evil. In my ponderings, I’ve come to understand that Evil is a verb not a noun. It’s an action not a thing. Yes things/beings/people can be evil but it’s because of their choices and actions within a situation. Like the action murder; it is bad, unless one is in a war or is defending self or another. Evil is a verb; not a noun… evil being understood as a noun has created a lot of destruction and death, which is by definition evil.
True Magic is in the will & heart of the practitioner, Witch, etc. It is up to you to be responsible. “With Great Power comes Great Responsibility.”~Amazing Fantasy 15 (Spider-Man’s first appearance).
I am a bit torn on this as of recently. Maybe because I believe in the Nephilim story which puts magic in a different light. I think that magic isn’t the providence of Satan so long as your mind is pure and clean.
Atropine can be used as a deadly poison. It can also be used to create eye drops that have helped many people control Myopia. Magic just like medicine is a tool.
In summary? I'd say that magick simply is. It's just another part of reality that can be accessed by any trained and dedicated person. However, because of the power structures that exist and their claims to spheres of influence of their community, that would be the only time that concepts of good or evil come into play. In that context, it's less about the fact that you are using the natural tool of magic than that you are using it either without the blessing of the existing ruler/priest classes or for their benefit. Definitions of good or evil therefore are directly linked with how the existing social structure benefits. A good place to look at this tension would be in Susannah Clarke's fantasy novel "Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrell". An allegory here would be using an electrical switch. In one version, it brings light and warmth into a room where you might sit and read, or prepare a meal. A universally "good" use of the tool, right? In another version of the switch...the voltage passes through a victim and they die. If you are doing this on your own, obviously an "evil" choice, right? But what if that's your job for the State?
I have watched a few videos from the channel (highly informative, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to learn from someone who has made these studies their life's work) but I am not yet convinced that magic/magick is something that affects anything other than the mind and psyche of the practitioner (and certainly can't be considered evil). While these effects are beneficial and often positively transformative, I have yet to see compelling evidence or argument that the material world can be affected in such a way, or that the non-material possesses the agency to act with intention. I would love to be proven otherwise.
Magic can be evil. But can be good too. It's like asking "is God evil"... the answer is he is both good and evil, he is everything. Some people find it hard to bring the good of the universe into focus, many people of faith are concerned with focusing on the good and rejecting the evil, but what if the evil is you? Then evil can exist in the person of faith. The power of evil is that one more time in sickness is one more time to immunise yourself against that sickness and become stronger but people struggle with even acknowledging their own evil so it takes over. The adept grow so that they can become attuned to their higher self, the connection to the magic. Most people will barely touch on the power of their higher self, but their higher self is there regardless, giving blood, keeping faith. We are more powerful than we realise.
Yes & No! "Reframes" aye, have you read the book "Reframing" by Bandler & Grinder? Traditions don't really have "views", those tend to belong to the followers of traditions.
White magic is seldom revered in Europe compared to Africa and Latin America. Magic as part of divine connection in syncretic religions of the New World and in African and American Indigenous groups is much more integral to the cosmologies. Thanks and blessings.
I contend it is more that Europe pretends many of its rituals are not under the umbrella term 'magic.' Christian sacraments are squarely magical rites as I define magic, for example. Magic versus religion versus superstition is largely exercises in semantic hypocrisy used to dismiss alternative perspectives without actually addressing them.

Another super interesting video. I loved the deep dive into history and philosophy. 🧙♀️
🧙. Being committed to my learning is a commitment to myself. Always enjoy your videos.
Magic is *BEYOND* good and evil.
No it isn't. You can still do good and evil with it.
He likely means that magick is not purely good and not purely evil. Like the fire analogy, you can cook a meal with it or burn a house down
Alas, the people who may wield it are not.
Magick is a thought, a school, a tool, a weapon, an idea. Remember: magic need not be holy, and the holy may not be good. 🧙♀

✨🔮🔮✨ For me, magic is neither good nor bad, the intention of the magician or practitioner is what counts. ✨🔮🔮✨

its all about balance and not being too evil with it
Magick is neither evil or good, it’s association with empowerment is profane.

🧙 Magic is like clay, from what I understand. And fire, water, and air. Neutral morality.
Try telling victims of curses that magik isnt evil
Is fire evil? It all depends on how you use it. If someone burns my house down, I don't call the fire evil. The person who used it was evil
