Starting this thread as a discussion thread as a new member has an interest. As you members who have been around awhile know, I have some "magical" training in my past so I'll start it off with a brief overview of the topic.
The biggest question I always get is "what is the difference between magic and prayer?"
Well, depending on your religious beliefs, it can be quite a bit. However, if you look closely, the two actually are using one thing...intention. It's about creation, and who's using the energy of the universe to do it.
Prayer is an address (such as a petition) to God or a god in word or thought. It's asking.
Magic is the use of the individual's energy to manipulate an outcome. This can be done by invoking the universe/gods/or an individual's own intentions.
There is a whole discussion to be had of how the universe/quantum physics/and a Higher Power all connect. I would recommend some of Dean Radin's books in regard to these connections.
That's our starting point and I shall add on as we go, and I do ask others to post questions, comments, and thoughts as we go along.
Please remember we respect all beliefs here, and learning and discussion is the goal of this thread.
