Imitative Magick: drawings, paintings on paper, earth,sand, mud, walls (prehistoric hunting drawings?) of symbolic images representing your goal or an actual picture or drawing of what you want to happen. The object is that if you can draw it and see it then you can make it happen. It`s like drawing what you visualize in your mind. This type of magick is mainly used to inhance your magick, to bring better luck and/ or power to achieve your intended goal.

Contagious Magick: The use of a person`s personal belongings, ex. clothing, hair, nails, a shoe, etc.. This type of magick is used mainly for a variety of love spells to darker forms of magick such as the hexes and curses.

Sympathetic Magick aka Image Magick: The use of poppets,dolls, sand dolls, earth, mud dolls, corn husk dolls, apple heads, turnip heads, etc.. This type of magick is used mainly for healing believe it or not with the use of herbs stuffed into the doll. Sometimes dolls can be used for love spells where two poppets will be made of the assigned couple. This type of magick is popular amongst African magick, voodoo and hoodoo folk magick practitioners. This kind of magick can be used for healing and love as I said above, but it is popularly known for the use of a black kind of magick where pins and needles are supposed to be stuck in the doll to bring about pain and/or death on another.

Other kinds:

Personal Magick - this magick is directed for the self, to help the self. Often working on the subconscious mind alone with repetitive chants, self-hypnosis and visualization. Many people perform this kind of magick on themselves are not aware of it or deny it as magick

Active Magick - magick directed out, to bring about a desired event or to affect someone else.

Passive Magick - magick directed from out. Events that are caused by a nonphysical cause, such as ESP.

Magick forces are neither good nor 'bad', but are neutral. The different ways of magick make it good or 'bad'.

White Magick ('good') - Magick performed for unselfish reasons, such as healing and magick always performed with the others permission.

Gray Magick - This is the most common type of magick performed. Magick that is usually for self-interest, it brings about a desired outcome that is beneficial for the one performing magick. Often spells can be performed for another without their permission for a desired beneficial outcome. This may fall in the 'black magick' area because the one performing magick does not have the others permission, but because the intent is unselfish it is therefore categorized as 'gray magick.

Black Magick ('bad') - Magick for selfish reasons, to do harm to another, control another`s will, and for some people, magick performed without another`s` permission.

The degrees of magick and definitions of 'bad' magick vary with individual beliefs.

Magick is an ability that exists within all of us. Psychic abilities are also an ability we all possess. Just as some of us are better at performing one type of magick than another, some of us are better with a certain type of psychic ability. We can all develop and increase our magick and psychic performance. Magick should not be abused.

Magick is not to inflate your ego, for recognition or to gain money. It is performed for change and hopefully for the best. Magick is not supernatural, it is natural.

Magick is happening all around us. It is working with the energies in nature and the universe. It is drawing down the spiritual to the physical. It is working with your astral body and subconscious to manifest.

It is working with nature which we are all a part of whether you believe this or not. Magick has been performed throughout history and it always will be. As long as someone tells you to blow out your birthday candles and make a wish, magick will be there.

When you wish upon a star, that is magick. When you recite a small suggestion or prayer that is magick. When someone lights a candle for another, that is magick. When you wish upon something so strongly with strong emotion and it comes true, that is magick.

To make Magick successful you must have belief before anything else. Visualization second, casting the circle( if that is part of your belief) and banishing for protection 3rd and the ritual 4th.

What goes on in your mind is more important then the ritual itself. You can perform the most complex ritual in every detail, but if you have no deep down desire and belief and have not worked on your creative visualization or even have doubts and fears you wont admit to then do not be surprised if the spell is not successful.
