@Mariehanna Ok, please use the search function both here and on the wider Internet.

Te purpose of this forum is to have discussions about magick, it’s not really geared to quick Q&A for people who could easily do the research, and then come back and ask more engaging questions, and this is starting to be annoying for our members that do do the work themselves.

Please read the following because it will REALLY HELP YOU:

Magic needs a curious mind – the learning dilemma for magical students

… the amount of times people have emailed me, total strangers, with no introduction, no background info, not even a name, just a text speak sentence like: ‘tell me about eastern magic’, or ‘can you explain what magic is’, ‘can you tell me about Kabbalah but only in a few sentences as I am really busy and I don’t like to read a lot (yes, really….)’. The best one was, ‘I want to know what is in one of your books, but it has a lot of pages, so can you just bullet point it for me’ (I shit you not).

These and other sad but hilarious emails highlight this sense of entitlement (you don’t know me, but I want you to spend your whole day explaining something to me), along with the inability to learn for themselves. For instance, one question, ‘is there magic in India, if so what is it and how does it work”. Apart from the fact that you cannot truly answer such a question without writing a whole book, there is a thing called the internet, with amazing things called ‘search engines’ that one can use. Starting with a couple of words like, ‘magic’, ‘India’, and then maybe adding in, ‘mythology’, ‘mystics’, you can spend months reading various texts and books available on line. And the absolute joy of this is that you can focus in on one aspect that catches your eye, and search that, which opens up another vista of information. And on and on it goes. It’s called research.

Only then will a person slowly start to build discernment, and be able to separate the bullshit from the gems. It’s a process. And that process starts with curiosity, the willingness to read, digest, discover, ponder, look further, check facts, and check sources (and recognize the total bollocks): those steps slowly edge the person in to the subject matter. It’s called learning. It is very useful at times.

This forum has never had a rule against spell begging as such, because we exchange asic info and methods on here and ask for help in ways that blur the lines, but many other forums do have that rule and enforce it very strictly.

This is one of the more obscure norms of magickal forums, and to keep asking people for a basic answers available easily with a 2 second search is a kind of spell begging.

I know this world is new to you so I am explaining this respectfully, and asking you to please bear that stigma in mind and not do it. :+1:

Pleas learn some basics.
