well im actually of mind that magic is magic, the same way the hundreds and thousands of faiths and religions all come under teh title - religion.

titles are only given if why and what you do have a certain purpose about them....the differances between a wiccan, hedge witch and those who watch charmed lol. i wouldnt say that useing tools or not actually needs another name. what do you think Cry

there see, runes come in differnt forms, as do tarot cards, all a form of magic, but for a differnt purpose.

but i would still argue that inner magic is simply magic......many people give them differnt names simply because they teach you to do the same thing differntly

i sometimes use runes, tarot, pendants for divination, but thats more for pleasure than a need. i agree though its all different aspects of the same thing, their more like props than a nessecity (sp?)

i think the need is more to define what you do with titles, than the title defining what you do.
im not explaining myself very well but i think you said exactly what im trying to, snowman.

i get ya

a title is just a title,
a name is just a name,
these are all human imposed titles,
which means that they mean nothing.

yeah i agree...but that doesnt stop whatever the thing is actually still existing with other lifeforms.

true true true

Hrm. A stone is a stone till some entity decides it is more then a stone. At that time, that entity alone is responsible for what the stone becomes. To another... the stone is still the stone. 'Till the entity convinces one otherwise.
Same holds with books. Most call them holy now.
Same holds with values. Some call them divine now.
Same holds with dreams. Some call them heaven now
Same holds with nightmares. Some call them life now.

in the reality of existance, which i fully accept we are not able to percive, what is simply is, the new name simply refers to the action it serves in our current perception

yep true again
mankind is blind
and things only change their name as they become more usefull or drift into obscurity

well they only change their name in our eyes....but we are not teh only sentiant lifeform on this planet

true....
