Difference between "white" magic and "black" magic? Please comment on quote below?
The question was posted recently and I couldn't find it later to respond. For anyone who responded that there's a difference, that "black" magic is Satanic, while white magic is not, what you would say to the following?
Direct quote from Anton Lavey (founder of the church of Satan) in "The Satanic Bible":
"There is no difference between "white" and "black" magic, except in the smug hypocrisy, guilt-ridden righteousness and self-deceit of the "white" magician himself."
Lavey reiterates this many times, having researched the roots of all these things. He's also made statements regarding neither being from God, so these powers can only come from one other source. Christians agree.
Also, in tracing the roots of these and all related religions/magic/religious philosophies (including New Age) to their genesis, we find they all sprung from ancient mystery religions, esp. Egyptian & Babylonian.
According to Apostle Paul in 2 Cor. 11: 3, 4, all such are deception from Satan.

Yes my friend, you are right. Satan would have people believe that white magic is good - because that is how he can hook those who would not go straight into Satanism, which is too "obvious".
The Lord bless you and may you continue to shed light on those areas Satan seeks to keep in the dark.
I am a Satanic Witch, a Theistic Satanist (I believe in the literal Devil as Deity), however, I do strongly agree with the above statement made by Anton La Vey. Magic is Magic, and it comes from the one Source, Satan. I think White Witches, and Wiccans are just deluding themselves. Where do they actually think their power comes from, if not Satan? How can they believe there is such a thing as "evil spirits" without believing there is Satan?
As a satanic witch, I do both compassion spells and Destructive spells. Compassion spells include healing etc. When it comes to magic, it is up to the witch, with which she chooses to do. I think though, that the witch should at least give credit to whoever gave her the power, instead of talk from her ***, without doing any kind of ACTUAL INTELECTUAL research and study! From the beginning of time, it was all about Jesus and Lucifer. Good and Evil. Everything in the middle too, belonged to Lucifer. It was always about picking a side. The only thing the Christians actually know of the devil, and are right about, is that magic comes from him!
It's true enough. When I read about things like the Double-Slit experiment from quantum mechanics, it still blows my mind, even though I "know" the underlying principles are sound. Science and technology from today would seem miraculous to those living in the past; I guess the difference is that even those people could be educated and informed about the whys and hows of science, whereas magic is inherently arcane and opaque, regardless of time period.
