"New age" is a stupid buzzword.

It's funny how the occult is the only area of study where old knowledge is preferable to new knowledge. The scholars of religion tend to be forward-thinking, while the scholars of sorcery are backward-thinking; this is why nobody respects occultists.

It's a dichotomy between those who embrace pleasant fantasies, and those who embrace unpleasant truth.

Well, there's nuance to these things. What the Quran refers to as "sihr", which is commonly translated as "sorcery" or "witchcraft", is a fair ways removed from the western concept of magic.

Sihr is the art of communicating with jinn. It does not involve doodling made-up sigils on paper, or inscribing metal amulets, or walking around in the circle while waving a wand. Is is an austere, brutal, and malevolent psychic art. Nobody on /x/ has ever seen a jinn, I can guarantee you. Most people don't survive the encounter, and those who do are never the same.

I'm a Muslim (Usuli Twelver) and I don't know what this anon thinks he's talking about. Sihr is definitely a form of magic, and is fairly consistent with how magic was practiced in the middle ages and renaissance (the Goetia, etc.).

Surah Al-Falaq is a prayer of protection from "the evils of those who blow on knots", which is a reference to magic. It seems very silly to suggest that Allah would grant us protection from something that isn't real.

Magic is real. You can't be a Muslim and not believe this.

I'm so sick and tired of this long train of shitty babbling nonsense. This is like saying: "hey let's get in the car and go somewhere"... and someone says: "wait, I have to step back a thousand years to reinvent the concept of wheel"

FUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

No one gives a shit about what anyone else around here believes. We are not each other's fathers and have zero obligation to be here educating anyone else. In fact I hope everyone around here makes any moron lick their boots and make them perspire a bottle of 5 liters of sweat before even sharing an iota of anything valuable with them.

In short:
Magic = real
You = retard

Magic can be measured, witnessed and replicated like any other real shit. 500 years ago alchemy (predecessor of chemistry and medicine) was such an out-of-this-world department of magic that it had to be encoded with secret cold dragons living in caves and today any mainstream shmuck with a lab coat on his back takes potassium nitrate for granted and knows it burns as fuck on contact with fire and tastes cool on the tongue and comes from cave walls.

Even fringe shit like omnipresence was a magic concept and in the last 50 years became mainstream with countless proved results in quantum entanglement/non-locality that cause all kinds of "spooky actions at a distance".

Magic is stuff that today is at the cutting edge of human understanding and tomorrow is mainstream and will always be unbelievable to 99.9% of smucks. When you see everyone doing mental communication, telepathy will also stop being magic and become mainstream.

That's why people call you a pre-puberty retarded teen, otherwise you would have figured out how life in this world works by now on your own like any decent user of /x/
