Does anyone here belive in magic?

[Sau-Sekhmet-Hekau]

I definately believe in Magick: as a practicioner, I must.

Besides, someone has to keep the Barriers up in this part of the world.

Fox fun fun fun experiment. Go to the store buy a normal bottle of soda (i've only tried this with vanilla coke and barqs rootbeer) and get packets of sugar from mcdonalds or household sugar. open the bottles for the first time and immediatly dump in sugar and all the soda should fizz out of the bottle leaving only a little bit left.

Oh never ever leave a lightbulb on for 5 hours and drop it in a tub of cold water.

I got alot alot of scratches from when the lightbulb blew.

I believe in magic with my entire heart and soul. I always have and always will. And now you're probably all gonna think I'm nuts by the time you finish reading this, but I'm gonna list my personal experiences that back up my belief.
When I was younger I swear to anything I could breath under water.
I used to go into my closet and sit in a corner of it. I'd shut my eyes and suddenly I'd be, not in another world really, but somewhere else. I know this wasn't a dream because it was the same place every time.
I once had an hour long conversation with the things in my backyard (swing set, tree, rocks, grass, cat, fox)
When my family goes to the beach, I talk to the waves and I can hear words in them.
One of my best friends and I 'pretended' that we fought an evil spirit, but over time it wasn't pretend anymore, and we were actually able to use our 'powers' call, and we came once in a head-to-head with the spirit at the creek near my house.
I do massage work for friends and family, and I've learned to focus my body energy so that my hands become either cold or hot depending on how I do it. (I can actually feel the energy running down through my arms into my hands)
I can also draw energy from things like rocks and trees.
This isn't my experience, but you guys were talking about Ouija boards earlier. My aunt on my mom's side had one, and tried to get rid of it. Each time it wound up back on her doorstep, no matter what she did to it. (she threw it once into a river) My uncle on my mom's side had the little triangle marker thing fly up into the air between him and his friend and embed itself in the wall. My mom and her friends tried to burn a Ouija board and say they heard it scream.

So yeah, now that most of you probably think I'm insane, I've let you know what's happened to me and my family personally that I can remember at this moment.

I have dabbled in magick before, when I was in the middle of high school, but somewhere in there I realized a lot of what Wicca involves doesn't suit me, and it was becoming an empty practice, so I stopped. I have, however, taken the Oath several time, and invested untold amounts of time looking for different versions that might work. I've even tried to look up Nita's version of the manual as detailed in SYWTBAW, although I'm sure I'm not the only one

I continue to hope that I will stumble across the real thing - I'd give up everything to be a part of it, and to have such a greater purpose.

[Small town]

Dang we have a bunch of pepole that have dabbled in magic.My thery is that almost evrey body has done something supernatural.I have. My life is made up of school YW reading dance and helping the community.I atmit it i have wiccan buddys and i dabbl in it too. YES i beleve in magic.

[EragonKit]

i beleive in magic 100 percent.

[Frivs]

I defineately believe! Always! I've seen ghosts, several times, and I swear to high heavens that I saw a unicorn when I was younger. I don't believe they exist in this world, but rather in another, separate reality that crosses over from time to time. And even if these things hadn't happened, I'd still believe. I can just FEEL it, deep down, I've always known its there.

Magics got to exist, where do you think these ancient stories came from. Like people are brilliant, but not that brilliant. The notion of the existence of magic must have come from the witness of someone doing maigc. Like here I got an incident that my father gets goose bumps about (its about ghost).

<span class="ev_code_BLUE">My dad was in Sudi Arabia and he went to a YMCA motel because he didnt have a whole lot of money on him. SO its furnished with your basic stuff. You got your single bed, the TV, the washroom....And so he decides to sleep. In Saudi Arabia, remember its blazing hot okay. So he sleeps and in a few hours he wakes up to something thats heavy on him. He looks and sitting on him, cross legs is a ghost. My dad first thinks hes dreaming and he says "get off me," but the ghost refuses. He closes his eyes and opens it. Its gone.....He runs out of there. </span>

My dadis totally freaked out about this because whenever when go to a graveyard, he wont go alone. Acutally one time, my dad tried to flip the vase out, the cup to hold the flowers. He had trouble unscrewing it. My sister joked, "Maybe the dead person's holding it." My dad forgets about putting the flower in the vase and gets out of there angry (and probably scared).

My story, is that these "things" exist.

[agfish92]

i talk to my aunt alot and one day she told me that before my gradma died she was most connected to me out of all my cusins and her sons and daughters. so the last cupple nights ive been waking up at 3-4 and each time i look at the clock before i fall asleep it says 358 and i fall asleep. well then my aunt tells me thats the time ghosts try to make themselfs present to the human world. then last night i woke up freesing cold at 306. (here comes the part u wont beleve) last night i saw my grandma she was wearing a nice blue dress with little pink and purple flowers. well i "talked" to her i dont know how i do i just talk but nothing comes out of my mouth yet she understands and talks right back. then she tells me to tell my aunt that she loves her and shes sorry that she hasent seen her yet cause shes been busy being my gardian angel. so i was talking to her just like five minuts ago and SHE says out of the blue that her gardian angel talked to mine last night and she said that mine told me to tell her something so i told her shes like"next time u see her tell her i love her." then she told me a story that her gardian angel just recently said that she was also my half cousins angel also. so my aunt calls up my half aunt and tells her about her daughters gardian angel then out of noware she says"ella woke up today and told me her angel came to see her and matao last night"

weird... i love my grandma
ghosts are real
so are angels

Well, Who dosent?...I have done magic before...I made the rain stop! It was really cool! I was made because i couldnt get to leep so i thought really really hard..And then ina couple of minutes it stopped..Then it to quiet so I thought hard agian And said that i just wanted a drizzle and it worked! It was so cool! I believe so much in it! And living on a boat you see and hear of many interesting things!
If spmeone ever said that Magic or Wizardry is fake i would be so mad and be just like "Well then you will expience no fun in your life"..Yea i know it may never happen to me but It would be sooo sooo cool if it did!....And as i thinkt hat it is real, Maybe not in this world or Universe but some where out there, there is real life and magic, and Wizardry!
I know that there is such thing as it and that it will become possible, Hopefully i will be alive for when it is!
Dai All, Happy Wizardry to you!
TorI!

Arthur C. Clark once said, "Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

[singer]

yeah. it is an interesting subject. Kylie Minogue said " i don't believe that magic is only of the mind." from I believe in you, is it not?

i do think magic exists. The Sky pirates have a pye of magic in their sky ships. HP of course. YW also. Tamora Pierce talks of magic. As does Garth Nix.

Holly Black deals with glamour, faerie magic.

but i BELIEVE in the Maker of Heaven and Earth. Our Lord and Saver. without him, we wouldn't be here to have this discussion. you can turn me in for saying this, if you like. I don't care.

P.S. i started a tornado once

[Shea]

I'm christian, and the general idea of magic kinda goes against that, but I still beleive that people can do magical esque things because of God. True Story:

When I was little, we lived in a place with really big heavy doors. On our way in one day, my hand got stuck in one of the doors and when they got it out, by fingers were pretty much broken. I was crying and screaming, so my mom prayed that I'd feel better, and almost right afterward, my hand went back to normal and I was fine.

Another one:

When my dad to me to Border once, I went to look for some books, and when I went back to look for him, I couldn't find him anywhere. I freaked out, and then I kinda started walking around randomly, looking for him, and there was this voice in my head kinda (It sounded like me, but...) and when I listened to where it said to go, I found my dad.

OMG, you like the Edge Chronicles? I love them! And, you started a tornado?

And, one more thing! This has happened to me several times. I'll be in another room, but still able to hear the TV, and I'll here someone say something, I'll walk in, and the person on the TV says exactly what I heard a minute before, even though I thought it already happened. Then, last night, when I was listening to the radio, I heard a line in a song, and it hadn't actually been sung yet. Has this happened to anyone else?

[Fox]

yeah i think lots of people have these experiances. And now as i think about all the ones i have had i know what people say and its starting to get that i cant belive it happened like i thought. I think I'm starting to loss my belife in magic at the moment. 'Yeah its the imagination' or 'you read to much' or 'Its all that TV you watch', i want to belive in the things and experiances that have happened to me but im haveing alo of self doubt at the moment, but Shea you sound soo happy and you sound like you belive in yourself. wish i was like that again
