I hadn't seen the discussion over at Jason's and you make your point pretty clear there.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889529596531127755.post-46371792359964100382009-09-14T14:28:51.337-07:002009-09-14T14:28:51.337-07:00No. I am saying that a magician that needs to thro...No. I am saying that a magician that needs to throw this around on a consistent and regular basis may be a jerk and I may use the term to describe skill but not spiritual achievement. I said in the post and in a comment to Jason's blog that i'd done it three times. It was really four, I forgot one. I've used it more on mundane threats than magickal. A threat is a treat. I don't care where it comes from. <br /><br />If I felt the need to do it often, I'd wonder if I was hanging with the wrong crowd, a jerk or what else was going on in my sphere to create such a need. <br /><br />I tend to be introspective and lesson oriented first. Only after careful consideration do I conclude the other person in a dispute is 100% wrong. I am not a reactionary that will cast at the drop of a hat.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144040453666802786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889529596531127755.post-39862641215608378762009-09-14T10:34:44.981-07:002009-09-14T10:34:44.981-07:00The Magician: Those who are willing to respond to ...<i>The Magician: Those who are willing to respond to the willful(or the sub-aware) act of negative magick with opposing force</i>.<br /><br />So are you saying here that the only reasonable use of negative magick is to respond to an explicitly magical attack? I agree with you that negative magick should generally be used defensively, but I have no problem using it against a mundane threat to myself or my family in conjuction with whatever mundane actions I can take to mediate the threat.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.com
