Magic is not Real

The extent of magic's effect on someone is purely psychological. Shrunken heads are shook, the heads contain no power. Rather, it is the mind which ascribes to the symbol power. It looks frightening. It creates trauma. Same thing with a woman throwing gemstones. It isn't the power of the gemstones. It is the psychological effect of the gemstones. I, seeing the gemstones, gave them power. It frightened me, sent me into a frail mental state---later, I would learn about conspiracy theories. I got frightened because my mind was primed for the fear, incepted by the woman throwing gemstones. Hypnotism is real, yet is only neuroticism. Power through suggestion.

Demons are very real. Yet, magic does not affect one, to bring upon an innocent person demons. As the proverb goes, "As a bird does not alight without a cause, so does a curse not alight without a cause." The bird being related to a demon. Magic has no power over the one who lives righteously. And should magic be exerted---hypnotism---the individual will have that part of them shaved off, and it will become a folkstem. Like it had never existed. The sin will be removed as far as the east is from the west.

Magic also deludes. If one believes the levitating statue is real---it's done by magnets---then one is inculcated into the cult, believing their own will power moved the statue. If one sees the cup move by the water underneath it, and is told a ghost had moved the cup... unless the magic trick is revealed, the person has witnessed the cup move, and thereby believes in ghosts. Not to say there are not real poltergeists. Yet, such a thing is a demonic entity and thereby a curse on a sinful dwelling. It is a demon implanted in a place from a crime committed long ago. Yet, it can be spiritually cleansed by one's own repentance. For the belief in ghosts is delusional. But the belief in demons is not. Consorting with ghosts is witchcraft. Consorting with idols is witchcraft. Yet, the idols are dumb and cannot perform any work. The witchcraft is dumb and cannot cause any harm. For, Satan is under God's command to do what is evil and thereby destroy the wicked, while chastening the righteous. Satan is a rebellious prince, wishing to commit regicide and patricide, yet, for fear of his own life, he still performs the King's duties. His armies go to war on the King's authority, not the Prince's. As the King decrees, "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD." Thereby, the prince's war machine cannot siege, without God's command. He says of Assyria, " Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood." The smiting of the LORD is in the LORD's authority, and when the Enemy overreaches his bounds, he shall be rebuked for our sake.

Therefore, Magic is not real. Kabbalah and fortune telling with numbered cards implants into the brain fear. And that fear is used by evil forces to malign one, and cause one to shrink back. Same thing with anger, rage, hate, bitterness---these are the true witchcraft. For by these things, one shrinks back, feels frightened, is caused to seek vengeance, is caused to seek evil for evil. And when this incepts in the mind, it produces sinful thoughts, which bring upon the soul guilt. Even lust has this effect. To which, namely, Magic is simply psychological, by manipulating this grief to cause one to fear, hate, lust or be enraged. And by these faults, the Magician can turn one toward even worse sins. Save that the LORD cleanse the heart of its unrighteousness, and circumcise the folkstem from the soul. For to stop magic, it takes love, kindness, forgiveness, joy, peace, gentleness, self control, forgiveness, to never let anger last until the night.
