i appreciate the interest, iain...
Just some basic things to grasp, before you throw yourself into learning magic...
And first warning is that there are bad things that you expose yourself to, but if you follow all of the rules, you are likely not to succumb to those things...
Also, magic is neither evil, nor good... It is simply a tool, that can be used either to help others, or help yourself... The latter may result in a destructive manner... But magic, in and of itself, is nuetral... All up to how the person wants to use it...
There are many ABSTRACT laws of magic. They are not clearly defined or precise, like physical laws, but sorcererss from medeival times up to modern day studiers, have worked hard to set up a basic set of laws, for the followers to study..
You will not find these laws anywhere on the internet, as they are held within a secret society, but i will Post SOME of the general laws of magic. They are very general, and quite OVERBROAD and refer to many things in life, not just magic:
1. Understanding brings control. The more you learn the stronger you will become; the more that is known about something, the easier it is to have control over it.
2. Familiarity with your own strengths and weaknesses is necessary to learn magic.
3. If two ideas, persons, places, or things have something in common (that is, they can be associated with each other), they can affect each other through that commonality. In other words, associations create potential magical links.
those are just a few of the laws of magic... Many more important laws, there are, but didnt feel like writing an essay just yet, lol...
there's a magician based in Kent who names himself after a Norse god that used to spout similar flowery language before he hit the big time (and maybe still does). It's not you is it?
I'm sure there are plenty of laws in magic, I tend to stick to the basics myself, namely, practise in front of a mirror, don't reveal my secrets, and wear an appallingly bright red sparkly jacket every time I perform. Each to their own, chief...
