Which form of magick is THE BEST

Parvati · Post by **Parvati** » Sun May 09, 2010 2:12 pm

I want to re-arrange my life in a magickal way and I am doing many a new thing with meditations too. I want to know which is the best Occult belief to follow, but I do not want to go completely Left Hand at all.

There's no occult belief that's best. First of all there is a difference between magic and occult. Occult is the study of the unknown in theory. But they do complement each other. You have to find what works best for you. There's no objective best for everyone. What attracts you most? Also remember that repell you might be a hidden treasure. Many skilled magicians have practiced different forms of magic they first belived they would never ever do. One thing lead to another. Magic is like anything else in life. You agree with some things more and some less. That will change too eventually when you get more skilled. There are many books about magic and the occult. Go to your local bookstore that provide books on those subjects and browse through those books that interests you. If you dont have any bookstore, just tell us what you would like to know and what kind of magic you would like to learn and you can get an answer here what kind of books might be of interest for you. There are many schools of magic.A skilled magician is a skilled magician. It has nothing to do with any tradition. It has everything to do with the practice. Have you searched for a magic group where you live? Working solitary is okey but you will never ever learn enough on your own. There are many groups. Some are very good and have alot of knowledge and skills and some are mediocre and some really bad and unserious.

Thanks for the insight, it is very appreciated indeed. At the moment I am just getting involved in my mental magick and I do dabble with candle magick as well. I am going to read a lot of books, especially from the libararies for I need the extra knowledge and input.
I have heard that Voodoo magick is the most potent of all the magickal thought forms. I will have to discuss this in depth and detail.

A bit like exercise equip[ment: the best form of magic is the one you'll use. Don't expect to get it 100% right straight away: try things out for yourself.

If you are asking this question in the first place you must reset your preconceptions concerning the matter.

I actually dont think there is anything wrong with asking the question.
The different systems of magick do tend to focus on different areas with different techniques. So I guess it depends what your looking for. FOr instance on my own path, ceremonial magick attracted me in the beginning because of some of the so-called high magick... angelic and demonic evocations, stuff like that which sounded exciting. I tried it for awhile but i just ended up hating all the reverance and pretense and dance moves, it just didnt jive with me. It still intrigues me and who knows maybe somewhere down the line all explore it again.
I guess maybe one thing to consider for your path right now is are you more intent on learning to manifest (which can be accomplished many ways, 'low' magick, like hoodoo and stuff focuses more on manifesting desires on the earthly plane. For this i mostly just use mental magick it and works fine.) Or, are you more intent on 'enlightenment', or exploration, or all of those?
What kinds of energies might you be wanting to work with? Its a big universe so um, i dunno, seek your hearts desire.

I personally think that chaos magic is the best form of all because it is limitless. you can start practicing it and then readact every other form of magic or belief to work without changing your cult or being part of that specific guild. I practiced wicca and thelema, astral working, some aspects of taoism, blade enchanting, white magic, healing magic, sometimes (and I regret it) black magic and a bunch of other things. and I'm not iniciated to any of the orders I mentioned. I'm a chaote and I can practice any magic I want indiscriminately.
this is just my suggestion and opinion, if you find something that suits better to your subconscious or moral I warmly invite you to practice it without regret.

The best magick is the one that resonates with yr soul and energy. I follow a an ecclectic path using Wiccan spiritualism, cerimonial magick, folk magic, Left Hand Path dynamics and Yoga. You do not have to limit yrself to one practice or even one tradition. I have had a multitude of success using very different systems of magick within my own spitual path that I think there is no "better" system than the ones that work best for you and resonates with yr cosmic/spiritual philosophy. Look inwards and listen, you will know what is right for you.

The only magickal belief that matters is the one that works for you. It is a journey of self-realization. Find yourself and you'll find what forces work best for you, and there are many at your disposal.

The best magic is the one that Jesus used, he could ressurect the dead and change water into wine. I heard that he got his magicks from his journey to Egypt, where he obtained magical tattoos, lol.

I'd be inclined to disagree in one sense, and agree completely in another..

I disagree because there is a difference: intention. Granted, all the "black magick" "white magick" labels are completely arbitrary and relative, but the intention to harm someone is quite different to the intention to heal someone.

The mechanisms, the energy, the techniques, are (or can be) absolutely no different whatsoever, but I do think the intention makes the difference.

As for what's the best, I'd say: the one that works for you

For me, despite my interest in some other practices because of their potency and track record, chaos magic is probably the easiest to practice as long as you are able to dynamically and willfully change your paradigm frequently. It is also very good at producing a hugely wide range of results.
However, chaos magic also greatly benefits, as I am finding personally, from having knowledge of other forms, since you can take from others to create fantastic cocktails.

Let me add my opinion here as well...The best magic path is the one that expresses your most intimate self,and allows you to sleep with a clear conscience at night.All the answers are inside you.They'll come to you like waves when the time is right.What ever you choose to follow...i hope that it will fulfil you and make you understand,hear and see all the things that you couldh't hear or see until now.Good luck.
