Some different types are :

Color Magick: This technique is used in various other forms and is widely used in relation to your desires. Color has the ability to enhance, modify, lessen, or change our moods and emotions and even our perceived desires. A color is chosen to represent the goal or desire of that wich you are attempting. You can implement it into all other forms and techniques.
Symbolic Magick:This is a system which uses different symbols to represent various ideas, people and goals. Numbers can be used also. A good self-made symbol representing the thought form or the elementsor whatever you wish, is the most powerful magic(k)as it is your own,and any of the altar or ritual forms you choose.
Poppet or Representational Magick:This system utilizes the figure of someone in which you are working the spell for. This helps in visualizing the main desire and the end result. These figurines can be made from just about anything and are widely sold in many shops. But again, the best is the one you make yourself. It personalizes it even more both for the person and for you. A lock of hair,piece of clothing, photo will work just as well.
Candle Magick:One of the oldest forms of magic(k)and also one of the easiest is candle magic(k). Fire has held our fascination for many centuries and its uses are seemingly unlimited. It's use in magick is not extremely effective but you can also use the many other forms and techniques along with it. Color, Representational and Herbal Magick being the most commonly used in conjunction with Candle Magick.
Crystal Magick:Each gem stone has it's own magical property. Here again you will find wide differances in each attribute. Gems are most often used to enhance a spell and sometimes even used on its own. The power of the stone is amazing. You will find the beauty is attractive enough and now you will find that each can help you in a variety of ways. Many healers prefer this system using the vibrational powers of the stones in many ways.
Herbal Magick:This can also be implemented into many forms of magic. Used as talismans and amulets in a pouch or a dream pillow for good dreams or a good night's sleep are some common uses. One can combine herbs inside a candle for scented or enhanced energy for your goal. There are literally 100s of different types of herbs readily available and each one has its own specific uses. Many are cultivated at teh correct moon phases, both sown and harvested to maximize the magickal effects. This is a very ancient system but is still widely used today.
Knot Magick:This utilizes rope, string, thread, yarn or even shoelaces to signify the desire. It is used in conjunction with many other forms of magick and is also a type of Representational Magick. Some people carry the tied desire around with them , wear it,
untie it to represent release. Many think of binding spells when Knot Magick is mentioned. The color ,form and energies are all used when performing this type of magick.
Elemental Magick:This is the use of the different elements of Fire, Air, Water, Earth. Even the directions of each one has its own magickal properties. each has its own aspects and is used in nearly all forms of magick. These are very important and there are wide differences in the properties attributed to each. It is up to you to find what best works for you.
Moon Magick:This system emphasizes the different phases of the moon to perform certan types of magic spells.
Rune Magick:Runes are compact magickal devices associated with sound, color, image, number and forming a matrix of magical practice. They are used for magick talismans, worship, astral projection, spiritual advancement and more. Runes require a balance from the practioner.


It is important that you understand that each of these forms of magick have a basic common denominator. This being the intent and the ability to visualize of the individual. The better these abilities are the greater the chances of you acheiving your desired result.

It is my hope that you can understand my explanations of these topics.

Thanks, that was interesting reading!:hahugh:

[blackluckof13]

Thanks for the website and info.

[Teresa]

You are most welcome. If you have any more questions ask and we will do our best to answer them.

[blackluckof13]

Thanks, i'll keep that in mind. (sorry it took me so long to post this, but a little thing called life got in the way)

[Ngaurhoth1]

I know there are several but how many can you think of?
I know of card, spell, model and incense magic.

[Caitlin.ann]

Hmm...I'm going to go with Magic is magic. :)

True but magic comes in many forms.

[Teresa]

Do you mean things like Sympathetic Magic, Candle Magic, Rune Magic, Incense magic, Egg Magic, Energy Manipulation, etc.....

[Ngaurhoth1]

Do you mean things like Sympathetic Magic, Candle Magic, Rune Magic, Incense magic, Egg Magic, Energy Manipulation, etc.....
Yeah, the different kinds of magic.

[Teresa]

Yeah, the different kinds of magic.

I will see if I can bump an old thread in this section on that. There was a thread about hte same thing last year I believe.

That would be helpful, thank you, maybe there should be a sticky made for that. Besides it could have links to how to perfrom the specific of magic.

[Sequoia]

There are as many forms of magic as there are people in the universe.

Most fall into about 100 categories. Not over one billion.

[Sequoia]

On the contrary; each person does things a little differently. No two energy workers are exactly the same. Nor do they have the same energy. They could follow a similar ritual and end up very differently.

IMO, it's a bit silly to ask for "how many forms of magic are there, and how do I practice each and every one?" I guess that's one way to learn, but wouldn't it make more sense to follow your instincts to a given path and follow it for a bit?

[Aidron]

And then you have Illusion/Glamour Magic, Color Magic, Weather Magic, Water/Air/Fire/Earth Magic, and so on and so on and so on.

I do not think it would be possible to compose a list of every type of magic there is, although you could classify magic in a broad spectrum - such as thaumaturgy and theurgy. After that, you can single out the most prominent aspect of a magical working and then apply that label. For example, if you're working with candles, it could be candle magic, or color magic if you're relying heavily on the color(s) of the candle(s).

Beyond that, it would be an exhaustive list with little reward I imagine.

There's probably more, in fact. You could even work magic through the smiley-faces on here, and BAM, now you have emoticon magic. I just invented an entirely new form of magic that could, if approached sensibly, be both applicable and realistic.

That's right, increase my ego through emoticon magic!

[Sequoia]

Hey, it's called "Hail Mol"... Every time someone uses that smiley, they unintentionally send energy to the Great mol...!

[Aidron]

You say 'toe-mawh-toe' I say "You sound like a nincompoop." It's hail Aidron and you know it! :razz:

We love you for your insight HCB! :thumbsup:

I don't know if I'd perform the magic, I'm just interested in the subject, it's intriging.

[Aidron]

Praise from the forum guide herself. Oh my, I don't know if my ego can take all of this! :bigredblu

At the top of this section of the boards is The Mysticwicks Online Book Of Shadows. Check that out, you may find the things inside it interesting.

It is intriguing, but to save yourself a lot of exhaustion and anxiety, just look at any magical working and as I said, pick out the primary components. Simplistic workings, such as cord magic, may only have 1 (although more can occur), such as sympathetic magic, color magic, and knot magic. More complex workings could have 50. For example:

If I want to cast a spell to summon a snowfall, which includes a bowl of ice, calling forth the elemental powers of Air, Water, and Earth, and a series of gestures, all while done in accordance with planetary hours and which sign the moon is currently in, you could say that I am practicing elemental magic, weather magic, somatic magic, lunar magic, astrological magic, planetary magic, sympathetic magic, and well... you can see how such a seemingly simple working can take on many sub-divisions?

Similar to Biology. I'm not sure of your feelings here on Mysticwicks on people making stories beased off of some of these concepts.

[Aidron]

Similar to Biology.

I suppose. It depends on what aspect of biology you are referring to.


I'm not sure of your feelings here on Mysticwicks on people making stories beased off of some of these concepts.

Come again? :eyebrow:
