Light, as the symbol of conscious illumination, is often contrasted with this directly. Black magick' therefore becomes a description of occult practice with respect to the source of its form. To intellectually predesign, plan, control and consciously arrange ritual is white magick, while to enjoy unconsciously-guided ritual is black magick. Source and Type Combining the expansive meanings of both 'left-hand path' and 'black magick' allows us to describe various mystical and magical practices more effectively. Comparing the source of magical style with the type of path, we obtain a more descriptive and less biased evaluation.
Morality ceases to be an issue.
Instead, we can use descriptors which reflect the activities of the mage. These terms say nothing about the value of either evaluative pole and do little to bias our view. Black magick need only mean that its origin is the unconscious mind, regardless of any structure it may have. A left-hand path can mean that it is emotive and artistic, whether arising from conscious or unconscious sources. A left-handed, white magick would include an emotive and preplanned practice.
