I mean most every form of human technology or activity can produce some form of pollution or residue. In the case of magic, one thing that comes to mind is the generation of hate and fear in the necromantic rituals. I know that few (if anyone) here practices such, but what if one of the reasons for the three fold rule is the production of magickal waste or residue that could inadverently cause harm. Any thoughts on this idea??? 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: FireSpell Area: MagickNet To: Sandirien 11 Aug 96 23:48:40 Subject: Magick UpdReq On Fri Aug 09, 1996 (01:57), Sandirien wrote about Magick: S> agrh.

Mostly seems that he was about "pushing the limits", and to heck with the dangers involved. I've read some Crowley, and while he obviously knew a thing or two, he also had some amazing blind spots (either that or he just lied in some areas, which is possible too). In either case, he is not exactly my cup of tea.... S> So far as i know hes a very bad person. Please prove me wrong. Why? You believe what you believe.

Yeah there are those too. FWIW I wasn't really sure what to expect when I got my Ouija (which is the main reason I got it, as I was curious), but I also was fairly confident I could handle it (since I had already been through some "interesting" magickal stuff). I was correct, but what I did experience was powerful enough that I would fear for the safety of a "newbe" (to put it mildly)....
