Types of magic and types of magical defenses. Types of magical influences
as Art - Achievement of the Conceived
There are a certain number of varieties or types of Magic, the main of which must be known to the novice Aspirant in order to subsequently become able to distinguish their hierarchical gradation.
Should be paid Special attention and the fact that in real life many types of Magic are often combined with each other, uniting into a single whole, in view of which it is often difficult to distinguish between them.
The information below is intended to provide only short description for the purpose of initial acquaintance, since more complete guide for each variety of Magic is offered to adepts at the moment when they come close to mastering one type or several of the types of Magic at the corresponding levels of Initiation.
Natural Magic - This type of Art is also called Natural (or Natural) Magic, that is Natural Magic.
It studies and deals with the lowest Forces of Nature found in her three Kingdoms: Mineral, Vegetable and Animal.
The main representatives of this class of Forces are elementals - imperfect spirits of Nature and the four elements, better known as gnomes, sylphs, salamanders and undines.
It is well described in Agrippa's Occult Philosophy. It includes such branches of the occult: Botanomancy- herbal divination,
Phytotherapy herbal treatment, dowsing - determination of the presence of water, minerals, treasures, etc. with the help of a forked branch of the vine, Lithomancy, divination by stones, most of Druidic Magic-Rune, almost all known divination-Tarot, and many other directions that we will not list here now.
Manipulative Magic.
This kind of Art is called Lesser, Village Magic, and also sorcery.
It consists of all sorts of manipulations, tricks and tricks, achieved through various devices and set-up situations, which, if properly performed, can lead to changes in accordance with the will of the person.
And the results of such actions will occur naturally.; and to maintain them, replenishment is necessary, which the magician is obliged to do from time to time. The terms for the fulfillment of desires, through the use of Non-Ritual Magic, are usually long, regardless of the will of the magician, for the Forces that are activated in it belong to the category of astral, and even hierostral spirits.
The magician practicing the methods of Manipulative Magic is usually equipped with an innumerable variety of things and objects necessary for his activities, from which it is clear that his inventory quantitatively exceeds the set of magical devices used in Ritual Magic. In addition, this type of Magic involves the use of special calendars that help to find out the time and nature of the Forces that are most effective on the indicated days of the year. All this and much more is possible to learn, for example, from the Grimoires, the contents of which must be correctly understood.
Sympathetic Magic. From the very first words, we will specifically stipulate this type of Art: the fact is that it includes under its auspices the following two varieties, which, although they are part of Sympathetic Magic, are at the same time independent links of a single Magical Science. The types of Magic we have named generally tend to echo each other, which must be remembered incessantly.
Here is what George Fraser said about this: "Both varieties of magic - Homeopathic and Contagious - can be designated by a single term - Sympathetic magic, since in both cases it is assumed that, thanks to secret sympathy, things act on each other at a distance and the impulse is transmitted from one to the other through the astral light, which is still called the invisible ether ("Od" of the Martinists, the "amniotic fluid" of the Kabbalists; do not mix with the ethereal plane of being, which is located above the mental - author's note). This ether is not so different from the ether, the existence of which modern science postulates with a similar purpose, namely to explain how things can interact with each other in a seemingly empty space. "N. Belsky, based on Fraser's words, writes:
"Sympathetic Magic operates on the basis of the principle of sympathy. According to this principle, the world is regarded as a living organism, permeated with thousands of threads connecting things, objects, people and all nature with each other. Such connections are mutually directed and continuous in time, which makes it possible to exist as magic (impact on nature and people), and various divination.
Let us only add that at the high levels of initiation, adepts comprehend fairly simplified methods Sympathetic and Contagious Magic, based on the presence in all people of a subelement - a light body and the universal interconnection of the totality of things, manifestations of creation, which owe this state of affairs to Ouroboros-God OA - "The Priceless Axis of the Universe.
Homeopathic Magic. Let us hear the remarks of George Fraser: "This kind of magic is best described by the term Homeopathic, because the alternative term is Magic Imitative- does not exclude or even imply a consciously imitative agent, which unduly narrows the scope of Magick.
Homeopathic, or Imitative Magic can be called techniques based on the law of similarity, the lengthy formulation of which says: like produces like, or the effect is similar to its cause. From the law of similarity, the magician concludes that he can perform any desired action by simply imitating him, for example, inflict injuries on a person by influencing his image - a wax figure, any personal item, a photograph, a portrait ... Homeopathic Magic is based on the connection of ideas by similarity ".
Contagious Magic.George Fraser gives the following data regarding this type of Magic: "Contagious magic can be called techniques based on the law of contact, the full formulation of which is this: things once come into contact with each other continue to interact at a distance after the cessation of direct contact. What would whatever happened to one of them, the same must happen to the other.Based on this law, the magician concludes that whatever he does with the object will have an effect on the person who once was in contact with this object (as part of his body or otherwise).
Contagious magic is based on the connection of ideas by contiguity, since there is a connection between a person and his hair, nails, clothes, traces left by him, and the like.
According to the same principle, magical power is transmitted from the source to the object of influence (wearing amulets and talismans). However, it should be noted that human energy, like any other energy (for example, static electricity) transferred or imprinted on an object loses its original charge over time and dissipates, which is why experts in Manipulative Magic recommend refreshing magical ingredients once a year famous days and this is why in Ritual Magic one must not forget to "recharge" the talismans.
Operational Magic. Names synonymous with this type of Art are: Magic Ceremonial or Ritual, Greater or Higher, Theurgy, Akleosta, the Adlantic word for "Magic", and also Magic Transcendental according to Eliphas Levi. Among the Jews, it corresponds to Kabbalistic Magic, or practical Kabbalah.
According to Crowley, " Magic Operational uses two methods of establishing communication with Beings: invocation and evocation" . There are others, but they are more sublime varieties such as Divine Magic, Death Magic, and Point Magic. LaVey describes it this way:
"Ritual magic consists of the performance of a formal ceremony or a scenario composed by the magician himself, balanced in all respects, the implementation of which requires entry into certain states and feelings - approx. The author. Her main function- to isolate the adrenaline or other emotionally evoked energy dissipated in other cases and turn it into a dynamically transmitted force. This is a purely emotional, rather than an intellectual act. Any and all intellectual activity should take place in the ceremony, and not during it."
It is also worth mentioning that High Magic deals with Forces that are an order of magnitude superior to the elementals., and therefore the timing of the fulfillment of the desires of the magician who deals with her is usually quick and swift, although they depend solely on his skillful leadership. Elemental spirits, however, are narrow-minded specialists, experts in their fields, with whom it is much easier to contact than with demons, with the exception, perhaps, of the lower ones.
Sexual Magic, the same as the Magic of Love. She uses the love spiritual energy of excitation of the magician - a man at the moment of his highest controlled attraction to a woman, brought to exaltation through special techniques, and natural sexual desire, directing it with the help of ritual actions. It also uses auric forces that are awakened in intimate contacts with a couple performing the ceremony in known bodily positions and according to a predetermined scheme. Sexual Magic uses majestic Black Masses, but has nothing to do with orgies in which the unbridled lower human nature plunges its riders into various excesses and perversions!
Divine Magic - One of the highest types of Magic as an Art for flesh-clad Aspirants, which we have symbolically called Perfect Magic or Universal Magic.
About her, except for the Atlanteans, few of the authors have said anything, because her methods of achievement are incredibly simple, although they require a sufficiently strong development of the spiritual instruments of the adept and bring lightning-fast, sometimes, results to those who are able to master them.
Divine Magic brings into use a powerful creation in a dream, in a projection through the manipulation of auric vortices and light pillars, as well as thought, which makes the initiate prepared, for example, for psychic attack anytime and anywhere. The connection with your true Self is established here through automatic writing according to Crowley - through "Achieving Knowledge and Conversation with your Holy Guardian Angel", with the innermost "I" by receiving insights in the mental field.
Death Magic. It can be called the Magic of Silence and Power, the echoes of which can be seen in the Enochian language, if you look at its substrate, by the way, the Enochian form of speech, based on the relationship of letters with their correct arrangement, in principle does not contain words as such; its so-called "lexical units" are misinterpreted by all interpreters, since each letter of this language reflects a certain idea and is textually expressed in several sentences, and even a whole paragraph. Similarly, the "words" of the androgynous language are composed and parsed. The magic of Death makes the adept who uses it, focused on being in the present moment, equal to the inhabitants of the Threshold, for the very desire for such is often enough an instant result. An aspirant who has comprehended these techniques cannot be taken by surprise - he can always be engaged in magical activity, as soon as he needs it; and moreover, he is constantly ready to inflict an early astral strike, preventing any attacks of enemies, since he mastered the Magic of Death and is in contact with the Ancients - beings, the world of the dead, warning him of any unfavorable changes due to their gift of foresight of future events. The main difficulty in comprehending this type of Magic is that human being with a huge set of moods and states - should get stuck in just one of them, which will become possible only after overcoming his element and forcing it into obedience by passing through a galaxy of powerful curses that can negatively affect his psyche. The most difficult type of Magic to master.
Point Magic. Point Magic, which can also be conditionally called - Symbolic Magic, is entirely borrowed from the Adlantic magical tradition methods and ways of influencing oneself, people and Nature through work with astral charts and tablets of mysteries based on the Forces of the Universe, enclosed in a hieroglyphic system. It is directly related to the androgynous Sefirot Tree, which is why its effects are appropriate. The principle of its operation is such that when a certain combination of previously charged symbols is sequentially set by the consecrated magic Pointer, a contamination vibration arises, directed to achieve the necessary change. This type of Magic is also valued because of the dynamism with which any such operation is carried out. Its development is impossible without open feelings.
Magic brings together a large number of subspecies that differ from each other. Each sphere is based on rules, rituals and philosophy. All types of magic have their followers who have reached certain heights in the development of abilities.
What types of magic exist?
There are several classifications, among which the main group can be distinguished:
- Black magic. Uses the help of evil spirits. Rituals are mostly performed after sunset. This type of magic is based on destruction, for example, on curses, love spells, damage, etc. There are several types of black magic: ritual, satanism and combat magic.
- white magic . It is based on an appeal to light spirits. She is the main opposing force of black magic. Various rituals help to get rid of diseases and other negativity. The main types of white magic: healing and creative magic.
- green magic. It consists of various medicinal and magical infusions prepared on the basis of plants and herbs.
- Voodoo magic. Another type of magic and sorcery. It combines the traditions of Africa and Christianity. For rituals, the Volt doll is most often used.
- mental magic. Requires incredible concentration and spiritual development. Rituals do not require the use of any additional items.
- money magic. Thanks to various rituals and conspiracies, you can significantly improve your financial condition.
- Christian magic. It includes many church rituals that help to cope with many problems.
Types of pads in magic
Such wedged things are used in black magic in order to harm another person. The following classification can be distinguished:
Types of damage in magic
This negative impact is the base. In general, we can distinguish the following classification:
- "Black Disease"- a disease associated with the genital organs is sent. Most often it is used by abandoned women.
- "Sorrow"- a person receives mental anguish and experiences.
- "Lesson"- Severe and persistent headaches are sent.
- "Flash"- psychological problems arise, for example, schizophrenia.
In order to learn the types of magic and witchcraft, first you need to understand what magic is and what it is, you should know that it in itself is the same profession as, for example, a doctor, artist, programmer, teacher and a lot others.
In magic, in order to succeed, you need to study in the same way, put a lot of effort, patience and endurance, as in any other specialty, with the only difference that the future magician learns to manage, incomprehensible to ordinary person way, various energies and elements, to influence weather and all sorts of objects, to force a person or even a group of people to do what the magician himself wants, communicate with spirits and see the phantoms of dead people and the like.
Magic is divided into different subsections, for ease of understanding, we will give an example from medicine. Doctors are different: general practitioners, oncologists, ophthalmologists, dentists, gynecologists, andrologists and many others.
Types of magic and witchcraft, their classification
- Sympathetic.
- Theurgy and goetia.
Let us briefly consider their semantic meaning.
- Sympathetic - a type of witchcraft, in which the relationship between all kinds of objects that surround us and behavioral forms is taken as a basis. It is also divided into subgroups:
- contact magic.
- Initial.
- Simile or imitative.
- Contagious or partial.
The subspecies "Contact Magic" carries the transfer of forces or the feeding of an imaginary energy force to a certain person through direct contact. For example, these are when worn or eaten: talismans, runes, amulets, various potions prepared in a special way and from certain magical components.
The next subspecies is "Initial Magic". Its principle of action lies in the strength, desire and faith of the magician in success, but with the help of spells and magic tools. “For example, in order to get, say, an enemy at a distance, the magician directs a magic dagger or knife towards an imaginary enemy and utters a certain spell. As a result, the enemy will be destroyed and it doesn’t matter how, that is, a disease may occur, a car may be knocked down, or a brick may simply fall on the head. Much depends on the strength of the magician and the mental defense of the enemy.
A subspecies of "simile" or "imitative magic" includes the transfer of harm from inanimate object on live. For example, to destroy an enemy, a doll is made with the help of certain rituals, and the magician pierces it with a knife edge while reading spells.
Also for, for example, successful childbirth, shamans use 
similar practice. It consists in the fact that the shaman pretends to be a certain woman in labor, tying a stone to his waist, which, under heavy weight, smoothly falls down. Consequently, the birth of the woman in labor he represents should also go smoothly and without problems or complications.
The last subtype of witchcraft is "Contagious" or "Partial Magic". Its meaning lies in the fact that any thing, having visited a person, remembers him and maintains an energy connection with him, even at a great distance. Especially - blood, hair, nails, teeth. In this regard, they are so often used in various magical rites and rituals.
All these subspecies of magic are difficult to distinguish from each other, since in certain rituals they interact or are interconnected. For example, if we take Voodoo magic, then in the manufacture of a doll to harm a certain person, just the above subspecies are used, since the doll is given the name of the victim, soaked in blood, if any, is also attached from the victim's hair or nails (it doesn't matter), a piece from any clothes and the doll is pierced with a sharp needle or pin.
Type of witchcraft - "Theurgy" and "Goetia"
From the ancient Greek "Theurgy" - a rite, deity, worship and "Goetia" - witchcraft.
This type magic is based on belief in various demons, planetary spirits, deities, and the like. It consists in the fact that the magician must be able not only to approach, cajole or call, but also to subordinate to his will, for example, spirits or demons. This is a rather complex type of magic, which can be called "Theurgy", as it is associated with the practices of spiritual upward movement, but it can also be called "Goetia", since it is Goetia that is built on rapprochement with various demons and spirits.
Type of magic - "Psychurgy"
This type of witchcraft is based on interaction with the soul of a certain person. Psychology also includes:
- Magnetism.
- Hypnotism.
- Telepathy.
- Mediumship.
- Clairvoyance.
- Clairaudience.
- Clairvoyance.
- Psychometry.
- Astral projection.
We will consider psychurgy and its subspecies in detail in other 
notes. In addition to all of the above, there are other types of magic such as:
- Black.
- White.
- Gray.
- Ceremonial.
- Sexy.
- Love.
- Combat.
But it is about them that we will tell in the next article. As for the topic raised in this article, it is intended for people to know and understand how difficult, dangerous and difficult everything is.
In contact with
Magic around us
Magic surrounds us from birth to death.
In our life there is always a place for a miracle or the unknown, and sooner or later every person tries to learn magic and apply this knowledge in his life.
There are different types and directions of magic.
sympathetic magic is based on the existence of a direct connection between existing inanimate objects peace and various forms behavior.
Sympathetic magic is divided into several subspecies:
1. Contact magic- this is a certain force that is transmitted or given to a person during direct interaction with the carrier of an imaginary magical power, this includes the wearing of amulets and talismans, the use of prepared magical potions and infusions.
2. Initial magic- during magical manipulations, only the beginning of the action is reproduced, its ending is assigned to the power of magic. An example is the actions of an Australian sorcerer who, wanting to strike an enemy representing a neighboring tribe, performs the following procedure: he directs a sharpened wand in the direction of the enemy and whispers curses, he expects that after this action the enemy will be slain by a quick death, or will die for a long time from painful illness.
3. Imitative magic It is based on the principle of philosophy that like produces like. This type of magic is common among Voodoo priests, who, in order to cause as much harm as possible to their opponent, prick with sharp objects into a drawn figure of a person or a made doll. According to the principle of philosophical similarity, the harm done to an image or a doll must affect the offender.
4. Contagious magic- is based on the fact that things that once came into contact with a person maintain a long and inextricable connection at a distance. An example of the use of magic can be the use of witchcraft for rituals - teeth, blood, nails, hair.
It is very difficult to distinguish between types of magic, this is due to the use of various principles at the same time when conducting witchcraft rites.
Theurgy- associated with animistic beliefs in demons. When conducting magical rituals, the magician, sorcerer, or shaman seeks help from the deity or even makes attempts to subdue the spirit, which must fulfill the desired.
Psychiurgy- implies a magical effect on the soul of the person himself. This concept includes various techniques for taking divine imaginary forms: hypnotism, mediumship, magnetism, telepathy, astral projection.
Magic and religion
Official religions Christianity, Judaism, Islam recognize the existence various kinds magic, but at the same time they consider witchcraft to be a forbidden and inadmissible practice for all believers, which is carried out with the help and mediation of Satan or his messengers. In Christianity, magical procedures are called Sacraments. According to legend, the son of God Jesus Christ himself possessed magical and supernatural abilities.
Other types of magic
white magic- serves to protect people. Conspiracies and rituals of white magic help a person get rid of harmful vices. The treatment of alcoholism, drug addiction by traditional medicine does not always bring a positive result, but when performing a ritual of white magic, you can help a person get rid of a terrible disease. Conspiracies of white magic can help in cases where a curse has been sent to a person or damage has been imposed.
Black magic- the complete opposite of white magic and one of the manifestations is faith in Satan and submission to his power. Black magic carries an attack on the human soul with the aim of causing harm and damage. The worst thing in black magic, this is the return of negative energy to the magician who applied it. Ceremonial magic refers to black magic. Its impact is based on a call for help from spirits, demons and other evil spirits. The witches' sabbath can also be attributed to the rituals of ceremonial magic.
love magic- with the help of rituals and love spells, it evokes a feeling of love.
