Magic and Rituals

The most basic of the known curious world is that of magic. We hear of magic often in movies and writings, but it usually is referred to as practical or something a child would enjoy hearing about. They fail to mention as often the darker side of what is magic.

Spells and incantations are an interesting idea, but where do they stem from? Such practices as Witchcraft, Shamanism, Druidism, and even Hoodoo have been around for centuries. These studies of the occult bring forth much to think about. Conjuring the dead, human sacrifices and hexing are but some of the negative connotations these beliefs carry. There are also good aspects of these that hint towards healing and connecting to the spirits or planet in a healthy way.

A simple explanation would be that these practices were man's way of coping with the unknown, and all the secrets the world has.

It would be ignorant to claim that we as a race know everything the universe has to offer, and therefore I look over such thoughts and keep an open mind.

The world has so much untapped knowledge, whether it be of that we cannot see or worldwide beliefs, that is ours for the taking. Desire to learn of these things and find out who you really are.
