A mute person can’t practice magic? That’s funny. Do you even understand the definition? Do you know what essence means, what significance means? In the English language, magic is often seen as manipulation of external forces, tied to the supernatural. But in the Russian context, magic is not just about influencing the external world. It is a tool that uses the power of the mind and spirit to work with both the inner forces of a person and the external forces of nature.
The Russian language allows magic to be viewed as a more multifaceted phenomenon, where Darkness, for instance, is not just evil, but an immeasurable multitude of possibilities, including both light and darkness. In English, magic is usually divided into “black” and “white,” which simplifies its understanding and limits its potential.
Magic, in the Russian understanding, does not need balance as a goal. Instead, balance is the price for change, a form of “feedback” or a “boomerang” for actions taken with magic. It explores and uses all possibilities, whether it is influencing natural forces, the psyche of a person, or metaphysical aspects of existence. Labels like “light” or “black” magic are the result of limited understanding by those who do not grasp the complexity and nuance of magical influence.
So, when we talk about magic, it’s crucial to understand that it is a tool that operates not just on physical reality but works through a person’s internal resources, influencing both the inner and outer world.
