## Magia

The forces of order and chaos, and the continuum between.

* Alterum magia (white);

* Maleficium magia (black);

* Ravum magia (gray);

### Alterum magia

**White magic,** [or **alterum magia**], has traditionally referred to the use of supernatural or powers or magic for selfless purposes. With respect to the philosophy of left-hand path and right-hand path, white magic is the benevolent counterpart of malicious black magic. Because of its ties to traditional pagan nature worship, white magic is often also referred to as *natural magic*.

### Maleficium magia

**Black magic**, **dark magic** [or **maleficium magia**], has traditionally referred to the use of supernatural powers or magic for evil and selfish purposes. With respect to the left-hand path and right-hand path dichotomy, black magic is the malicious, left-hand counterpart of benevolent white magic. In modern times, some find that the definition of *black magic* has been convoluted by people who define magic or ritualistic practices that they disapprove of as *black magic*.

### Ravum magia

**Gray magic' *(also spelled* magick*) [or*** *ravum'* **magia**] is magic that is not performed for specifically beneficial reasons but is also not focused towards completely hostile practices. It is seen as falling in a continuum between white and black magic. It is also called *neutral magic*.

## Substantiæ (elementalism)

**Natural magic** (also called **low magic**) in the context of Renaissance magic is that part of the occult which deals with natural forces directly, as opposed to ceremonial magic, in particular goety and theurgy, which deals with the summoning of spirits. Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa so uses the term in his 1526 *de vanitate*. Natural magic so defined thus includes astrology, alchemy, and disciplines that we would today consider fields of natural science, such as astronomy and chemistry (which developed and diverged from astrology and alchemy, respectively, into the modern sciences they are today) or botany (herbology). In a modern context, white magic may be referred to as *high magic* (not to be confused with the alternate meaning of *high magic*, which denotes ceremonial or ritual magic).
