That's an incredibly bizarre question, isn't it? That would be like suing someone for praying. After all, prayer and magick have certain similarities. With prayer—specifically "intercessory prayer" (asking for help from a deity)—you say some words and hope that a deity will respond by granting you something. With magick, you perform some tasks that should result in a desired end. One of the best-known types of magick is one that sends a magickal attack back on the attacker.

Because I am so suggestible you all get the chance to win a prize. Christopher Penczak is one of the my favorite authors and his new book The Witch's Coin: Prosperity and Money Magick is just out, so of course I am reading it. He writes, "New witches start their magickal practice doing waxing Moon magick to accumulate all the things they want.
