My Ideas of Magic
So let's say you know someone who claims they are a "Witch". They dress themselves in earth tones, drink herbal teas and drape long cloths all around their room, people often get hives from being in their room, etc. etc.
This is Not Magic. This is a form of being "one with nature" and getting back to your grassroots. While a lot of this may have a semblance of magical use, it is in fact, New Age malarky. It's Zen bullshit and that's it.
Magic gets it's power from the beliefs of people. Whatever we really believe in, subscribe to, (whatever), is what Magic is. Spells and incantations aren't communing to nature (at least powerful spells aren't), as this is an age of technology, the truly powerful magics are pooled in Corporations (think symbols like the McDonald's arches, the Pepsi Swirl, etc. etc.), numbers (computers, 1's, 0's), and reflected in the music of our time (the comic book Phonogram is exactly what I'm talking about. The idea of Britpop as a Goddess!).
Magic can easily be explained as science (The Morphogenic Field for example. A field system that encompasses all living and inanimate organisms together. i.e. thinking of someone a day or two before they call.) as it can a system of chants and dances for rain. But those chants and dances don't have the power in this age that Britpop does.
It's archaic to call yourself a witch because you worship nature.
Maybe I'm over thinking this. Those people who still worship nature can call themselves witches, as that's the term they prefer. It's just so insulting when someone automatically thinks of witches as practicing Magic that my panties are bunched and I want to scream. It's not like it matters anyway, as the people who practice magic today probably don't even know they're doing it.
Stock prices, Music compilations, Toga Parties. This is Magic to me.
