Left Hand Path VS Right Hand Path

## What is Black Magic/Left Hand Path Magic?

The Left Hand Path is often referred to as black magic.

There are many debates as to what exactly is black magic and how it is different than white magic, or any other color magic you may have heard of.

In the simplest terms, all magic is the same and really had no color, but the media, movies, television and video games has made color magic very popular. In the media, black magic is portrayed as evil, white as good. Red is often seen as love magic, green as money or wealth.

Such a division of magic into colors is useful, you can color-code your own spell code, writing love spells on red or pink paper and make them easy to find, but in reality this division of color does not really exist, the 'magic' is the same for all these spells and rituals.

Real practitioners consider spells which fight against, or try to manipulate free will as black magic. Because these spells try to influence the normal life of others they can become pretty dangerous if they backfire. Free will is considered by some as the strongest force in nature so care should definitely be taken when dealing in the dark arts.

The line between what can be considered back magic is fuzzy though. Love spells are rarely seen as black magic, but if the spell makes someone leave their spouse and travel across the country to be with you you are definitely messing with free will. However, a simple crush spell to get a date doesn't really mess with their free will.

## Spells That Are Considered Black/Left Hand Path Magic

No matter how you decide to define black magic, the following are generally considered as black magic spells:

* Death Spells
* Hurt Spells
* Resurrection Spells
* Banishing Spells
* Binding Spells
* Conjuring Spells
* Energy Spells
* Nightmare Spells
* Power Spells
* Revenge Spells
* Bad Luck Spells
* Misfortune Spells

Spells that are considered ¨good¨ (Even though magic cannot be good and evil) would be energy spells, banishing demon spells, and any other form or getting rid of demons or negativity.

## What is White Magic/Right Hand Path Magic?

The Right Hand Path is sometimes referred to as White Magic.

When people talk about white magic, then generally refer to healing and helping magic spells. An important thing to remember is that all magic is magic, and there really is no such thing as evil magic or good magic.

It is not any more or less difficult than black magic, and even white magic spells can have consequences.

## Spells That Are Considered White/Right Hand Path Magic

The following spells are generally accepted as white magic spells:

* Enchanting Spells
* Friendship Spells
* Truth Spells
* Cure Spells
* Diet Spells
* Healing Spells
* Health Spells
* Defense Spells
* Dream Spells
* Peace Spells
* Protection Spells
* Warding Off Spells
* Baby Spells
* Fertility Spells
* Growing Spells

Spells that are considered ¨Bad¨ (Even though magic cannot be good and evil) would be defense spells if they are meant to harm an attacker, same goes for protection spells. Other mildly ¨bad¨ white magic spells would be spells that affect the victims emotions or thoughts, as they would not be their own.

## WARNING

Make sure you know all the possibilities of white and black magic before getting into them. While magic cannot be evil or good, there can be consequences. Especially black/left hand path magic. Think of it this way: Should taking revenge on someone who deserves it or kill a bad person be considered evil?

~One one hand, they are a bad person and killing them might solve many problems and stop crimes, presently and in the future.

~But on the other hand, they are still a person, and they most likely have people who care for them, meaning you could be ruining innocent people´s lives by killing them. Its a two sided coin.

~Revenge would be ¨bad¨ in most cases because its kind of like an argument: If someone starts an argument with you, you can choose to argue back, or ignore it. Revenge would be the arguing back, which can lead to you and the other person getting hurt with words, or in the case of ¨Revenge¨ they could be getting physically or mentally hurt too.

The best way to describe black magic/left hand path would be the 2 sided coin thing. Its obviously not a clear difference, but you can see how the magic users personality/view on evil vs good would play into it, so make sure you know what you are getting into, and how you view it. This is a warning. -Kar
