Thread: does anyone else think this?

Would it actually be casting spells or, as I suspect, would it just be making noise like humans do?

I do indeed understand the basic of magic. I see it for what it is, misunderstanding.

First let me ask you this, how often do you and your friends cast magic spells? Is it an amount that is more than just one time in your life? Because if you cast spells continuously, and I don't even mean all the time I just mean that at no point in your life do you stop forever, then you're right it is beyond coincidence that you tripped over some pennies. I would say it indeed goes beyond coincidence, it becomes a logical probability.

First, any number of things could have happened that you would have taken to mean that magic had caused it. Second, the more you cast spells the more likely one of them will seem to have worked because you are only looking at the "hits" instead of the "misses." If I write down thirty random things a day the odds are that by the end of the month I will have had at least as many predictions come true as days in the month, not because I'm "psychic" or have "intuition" but because logically the more you do something like cast spells for something (or *cough* pray *cough*) the more likely it becomes that something resembling it will come true.

I didn't say their was only one language... Their are thousands of languages, the whole point is what you form an idea then put it into words in whatever language you so please. The whole point is being as specific as possible.. Like the universe couldn't understand every possible language... It's infinite..

I didn't even cast that spell, this older wiccan who owned a shop actually did it.

You just seem to act like you know so much about a subject you have no understanding of , that's what I call misinformation or a biased opinion.

You wouldn't cast the same spell over and over again, that would be redundant and pointless. Once again showing you know nothing about the subject and are just jumping at shadows.

I would say that your post indeed goes beyond coincidence and becomes logical idiocy. (Also known as dancing around with words)

Once again you know nothing about spellwork or how it works, no one ever expects to have every single spell to work. Because just like prayer, it can be, then it shall be or shan't be.


The way you think is just like everything is one giant experiment when you really just need to relax and life take you over and stop over-analyzing everything.

You can say whatever you want really, doesn't change the fact that spells have worked for ages and will continue to work..

I have a feeling no matter what kind of "proof" was shown to you, you wouldn't believe. It's called being immutable, you need to assimilate the aspects of water into your life.

Spells just as prayers can not be answered every single time, after all that would make life far too easy. You always must put effort into your spells to help them come to past. Casting a spell and sitting still will get you nowhere, you must go out and try to accomplish what your spell was meant to do.

You must also understand the way the stars and planets correspond to certain days... But I won't even waste any more text trying to explain something to someone who denounces what I say because of the possibility that doing something tons of times would obviously lead to an eventual coming of what you want.

I've never casted a money spell, and he was the first spell I've ever seen live. And it worked.
And little ones have worked for me, but to each his own. I'll lead my life with just a little bit more control than you.

Actually the more you pray or cast spells the more desperate you look to the universe and the less likely it will answer or care.(but sure, you must be right)

After much thought I've decided to edit this post.


You and I, DeathCell, see the world differently. You find the evidence adequate, while I find it lacking. I wish both of us saw the world the same, and accurately, whatever accurate means, but we don't. So you know, I hope magic is real, so you actually do get benefits from usin it, but I don't believe it is.

So magic is like praying to the universe?

That would be my opinion. But yes.

Very different forms, more control taken in spells.
