Why do people still practice Magick?
I think you need to find a community who has some similar values.
A lot of Wiccans don’t really understand what it’s about and use it to spread more negativity than anything else. Is that the type of thing you were seeing in the Facebook group?

Pretty much. Also many self-proclaimed wiccans can't take a little critcism of their own beliefs and behavior. They get together to shoot down the messenger and act like a bunch of grade school bullies.
I really am done with wiccans and pagans. One of the reasons I felt drawn to it in the first place was because I was told how tolerant and open minded wiccans are.
They're not. They're a bunch of drama queen egotistic b*****s trying to be weird to get attention.
And I'm really ashamed to admit that I was just as bad as them. But no more!

Have you ever tried yoga communities or Buddhism? There tends to be a lot of open mindedness in both of those groups, especially if you find a spiritual, meditative yoga group instead of one whose focus is physical fitness.

I honestly don't know a lot about Buddhism. I guess I can look into it. I've heard they too have a belief that all religions are actually true. Is that true?
The fact is I'm both an agnostic and an omnist. I believe all religion has some truth to it, but each person has to decide for themselves what is truth and what is simply superstious nonsense
We'll most likely never know the truth about a lot of things. Even science can only prove so much.

Hmm... Maybe I am a goddess.
At least I won't give up cartomancy. It's a fun hobby.

All religions are equally true. Especially in Indiana Jones movies.

Most of what I reply to has some relevance for me, negative or positive. In this example it could be that I am just more susceptible to certain suggestions, I'm not closed to hearing that criticism. I don't personally believe it of myself, but I could see why someone else would.
I have always been drawn to mystical topics. I began to experiment with different types of divination in my very early 20s. My life went straight down the shitter and stayed there. Why do people still practice magic? I have no idea. But, if you are God's child and you want trouble, keep at it. Because you will get it.
There is another side, a parallel universe or whatever. And I don't ever want to see or know anything about it, ever again. I'm happy to see what's right in front of me and nothing more.

To break more good stuff over people's heads (not that there'll likely be any takers), this guy's talking about the Arbatel and the Olympic spirits, I have a copy I think of Joseph B Peterson's translation that I need to get back from a friend one of these days.
