| victim in an intimate way, without fear of being | | | | was as if someone had pushed them!" or "They |
| found out by the intented, and ruining the act. A | | | | just stepped on the ladder to change a light bulb |
| good example is a "Vou-dou Doll" or "Mojo", in | | | | and it gave way!". Most manefestations will occur |

| a photograph, and a piece of the victims hair or | | | | course they are witnessed by another who is |
| nails. In this way, the victim becomes the doll and | | | | versed in the arts. After years of study and |
| the doll becomes the victim, and they are one in | | | | practise, it is a usual ability for any occultist to |
| the same. | | | | know why these things happen, mainly due to the |
| The connection/correspondences that form from | | | | energy sense that an accomplished witch, psychic |

| main types before being classified under any | | | | have always loved the power that a victims fear |
| other sub definitions.Black and White.White magick | | | | of your power gives you over them, if they start |
| is defined as acts that only generate positive and | | | | to believe that you have cursed them, your job is |
| unselfless results, whilst Black, is all that is selfish | | | | done without any effort at all.People who claim to |
| and performed for the good of oneself.There is | | | | have no belief and insist that the occult is a load |
| no grey, as some would argue that if they | | | | of mumbo jumbo, are probably the best to do |

| would make the occultist (I will use that term to | | | | the dark possibility that you have taken the time |
| describe any of the myriad of systems and | | | | to curse them, and then start to put any bad luck |
| pseudo religions that acknowledge magick use in | | | | down to your actions, the more they focus on |
| thier practices) benefit from a windfall of money | | | | this possibility, the more paranoid and accident |
| or good luck, would really be classed as an act of | | | | prone they become. They become a victim of |
| Black magick, as this really only benefits the | | | | thier own fears, as I said before, it is exactly the |
| caster, not anyone else. But if the intent was to | | | | same as any fears or objections you may suffer |
| grant another this bountiful harvest of good | | | | before casting a hex, your mindcan become your |
| fortune and wealth, whilst not benefiting the | | | | enemy. Willpower is the best protection, if you |
| occultist in any way, then that would be classed | | | | truely believe you cannot be harmed or fail, then |
| as an act of white magick. Occult scholars (Mainly | | | | that will protect you!I will warn you that opening |
| of the Wiccan community) would argue this and | | | | your mouth and saying too much about your |
| say that the definition is acts of Black are evil, | | | | activities can also lead you to destruction and |
| and Good being white. This is nonsense, as many | | | | harm. A good example is mouthing off at your |
| who practise the occult arts have strict moral | | | | victim, claiming you will curse them, only to find |
| codes that they must adhere to, and in such | | | | that you have become the victim of ridicule, this |
| paganism and cults it would ultimately restrict thier | | | | leads to all kinds of potential harm for you. Be |
| activities to purely selfless acts, and they would | | | | warned, the method I prescibed is only useful if |

| Other sub sects of occultists, such as Satanists | | | | mentored. Best bet for the starter, is to perform |

| some people will not hex because they fear the | | | | feeling of loss, seldom will the focus be sent to |
| "Three fold law of return", or they feel that thier | | | | your prey. Make sure you feel this expelling of |
| actions will eventually end up coming back on | | | | your intent. A sense of well being will follow if you |
| themselves. If you fear such concepts or | | | | have successfully sent it on its way. Laugh, |
| anything like that, my advice is your belief will | | | | rejoyce and relax, then forget all about it. Failure |
| shape your destiny and you will eventually | | | | to forget will keep part of the ritual inside you and |
