I think you are to wound up in ideals to be an effective magician.
You will constantly find yourself engaging in self sabotage by questioning every step of the way "Is this good or is this bad?" "What would Jesus do?"

Good an evil are only human constructs. Whats good for a human? We have to eat something. How do we do it? We have to kill something. Good for us, not for them. The whole thing is just a blank slate, you are the one filling in whats good and whats bad.

But then you have to keep in mind that these forces, once implanted in the mind, will constantly be try to win over one another. This isn't good or bad, but movement and change. You don't want harmony, nothing gets done with that, nothing new comes from it.

Anyways, wasn't Jesus a wizard? Are we all not, the Son of God? The Daughter of God? From God, everything issues forth. Call God what you will, intone whatever name you will, it is the source, the universe, the all and the nothing. Alpha Omega. Not some old guy talking to tribal Jews so many years ago (unless that is what you are into).

Try reading Jesus's words from a mystical stand point, from the view of a magus. He makes a hell of a lot more sense that way. Don't read anything Paul has to say, rubbish. And the OT ban on witches and the like was not unlike anything else the Jews banned. It was simply because it was not homogenous with their culture as they were on the war path devouring up pagan communities. I mean, even the Jews had Kaballah right?

If you want Religion, fine, find it. If you want magick, you have to look for magick.
