    Re: Kinds of religion for black magic

    Supposing that by "black magic" you mean spells designed to hex or otherwise manipulate or harm others, I'm not aware of any tradition that specifically focuses on hexcraft. There are traditions that allow it under certain circumstances, such as Voudou and Santeria. LaVeyan Satanists categorize spells into three subdivisions - Destruction, Charm, and Love/Lust. Destruction rituals are typically intended to "destroy" an enemy in some fashion or another, and by the standards of the Church of Satan, love and lust spells that manipulate others are acceptable.

    Re: Kinds of religion for black magic

    None that I know of either - black magic either is or is not part of the package, and it always seems to boil down to the magic users themselves and their personal code of ethics. There are often wildly varied standpoints, even within religions which as a whole may allow its use. My "religion" allows it freely within certain parameters, but in truth, I don't hold to any particular religion exactly.

    Why do you ask? I can't imagine a Catholic would have much to do with that sort of thing...

    Re: Kinds of religion for black magic

    There are plenty of deities invoked to make curses, worship of these deities may constitute as a black magic religion but as others have said it boils down to personal choice usually to use magic negatively

    Re: Kinds of religion for black magic

    I don't understand why one would say, "...religion for black magic..." as if black magic and religion must go together. You can practice black magic and not be affiliated with a religion.

    {Edited}
    I just wanted to clarify the comment. I personally am neutral about the practice of magic when it comes to other people. I feel it is their choice entirely, whether they choose to practice and what type.

    Re: Kinds of religion for black magic

    I agree with what has already been stated - there really is no specific religion which is based wholly upon the "practice of black magick". Again, as was said, many religions - especially those of the Left Hand Path - allow, condone or encourage Maleficium. My path is Theistic Satanism - there is no ethical code within my tradition, but it condones the use of "black magick". There are other traditions which could be said to be more akin to a "religion based on wickedness" (again, "wicked" is a subjective term) than others - some would suggest that the Order of Nine Angles was one such tradition.

    Religions devoid of a moral/ethical code such as the Wiccan Rede will be more likely to condone the use of black magick - even then, I'm sure there are even some Neo-Wiccans who practice such as the Rede is open to interpretation.

    Re: Kinds of religion for black magic

    Well, as the OP is described as a Catholic, then you must know that the black mass was originally an inversion of the catholic mass. So Catholicism would be a good starting point for certain types of 'black magic.' Of course you have to find a defrocked priest and a willing nun for the best effect....

    I might suggest two things:
    A) consider what you're liking. Often times, wiki pages aren't the most resourceful or accurate places to gain knowledge
    B) neither of those pages mention anything about black magick. I'd recommend reading the links before you post the.

    On that note, please consider our forum rules (particularly the bit about spamming) before blatantly tossing out links left and right, now that you have managed 15 posts.

    Re: Kinds of religion for black magic

    In the universe, there are laws and mechanisms that act regardless of whether you know them or not, whether you believe in them or not.
    To perform miracles - you have to start working for yourself. These are serious things that have nothing to do with fairy tales about Harry Potter.
    Every action has a reflection. It's one thing if you are a beginner in this business - and you did not succeed. And another thing, when you are using the ritual - have not achieved that goal, but other than that harmed themselves.
    In order to practice black magic, you do not need any religion. Or are you looking for someone to worship?
