So it can be in magick. Some people have an affinity for it, some people seem to have a natural gift of it, some people have always been interested in it and some people have been trained to develop it. Whichever path led you into the workings of magick, there is another component to magick that you may have not considered before-the role of religion. Throughout the ages, magick has been practiced. The reason for this is not because it makes people cool or different, better or worse than anyone else.
People work magick because magick works.
While it is true that 'throughout the ages', people have indeed practiced magick, it is also true that not all peoples have practiced magick in the same way or in the same context. That is still true today. Some folks practice magick with no inherent religious element. These are the practitioners who consider magick to be entirely neutral. The words 'magick' and 'Witch' seem to be forever linked, yet it is also true that some Witches, Wiccans and other pagans use magick as part of their religious practice and some do not.
