Call it whatever you want, Wicca, Satanism, Black Magic, White Magic, Illusionist, Magician, Wizard or Sorceress, it all draws its power from the exact same place. I am not trying to make you mad, but the truth is simple. All of these roads lead to the same destination.
Well, Wiccans would agree because they believe all Gods are one God, Satanists either believe in anarchy and chaos via the absence of God or the supreme presence of an opposite to God that represents chaos, Black magic and white magic are terms used in fantasy novels and people outside of the scope of practice or extreme newbies, illusionists perform in Vegas, magicians believe in magic through science and knowledge, wizards isn’t a preferred nomenclature for any person in the field, and sorceresses are girls on Instagram who take emo pictures but their spellcasting ends at making ramen.
Every one of these groups and people knowledgable in this field can tell a difference between Wiccans who sit naked meditating in their backyard and a Voodoo Priestess who sacrifices a goat to find out if her family line is cursed. The way you approach these people the same way, you will have success reaching neither spiritually. Tell a Wiccan to stop sacrificing goats and a Voodoo Priestess to stop naked outdoor meditations and both will say “um, ok... No problem.”
All I’m pointing out is how silly it is to have self-professed experts who know everything about the supernatural and metaphysical... Except the basic terms. It’s like turning on Steve Irwin and having him say “Look at that shark! Or is it a giraffe? Maybe a butterfly... Whatever, they all live outside, they’ll all kill you.”
Want to speak intelligently about the power of magic and manifestations in peoples spiritual lives? Cool. Go for it. I’ll be the second one there to tell you some crazy things can happen, a lot of which is really not good. But speaking with knowledge in a subject typically mans you know what people call themselves and the different branches of practice and what makes them the same or different.
