Here is a list of some schools/systems of magic(k). This page will take forever to complete.


Wicca

Probably the most popular form of magick. It involves believing in two creator gods, usually the Horned God and the Moon Goddess. Wicca is a lot about ceremonial magick, which is rituals. They also cast spells before/during/after their rituals. The moon is a very important asset in Wicca, as they believe magick is most powerful during certain phases during the night. (disregard that, Wicca sucks cocks)

Thelema

A system of magick created by Aleister Crowley, mostly based off of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. It is primarily a philosophical law, and has been adopted by some religious groups. The Law of Thelema is "Do what Thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the Law, love under Will."

Cthulhu Cultism

Some people practice magick based off of the fictional series called The Necronomicon by H.P Lovecraft. The story is of separate cults doing things, I'm not so sure I haven't read the thing. But the Cultists believe that Cthulhu will someday kill us all, but he will kill the Cultists painlessly. Most of their magick is dark and spooky done in a evil purpose.


Necromancy

A school of magick that deals with the dead. One cannot explain Necromancy and give a valid point because Necromancy is a very wide school of magick, with many types of Necromancy.


Voodoo

Also known as Haitian Vodou, or the West African Vodun'

An ancient form of magic practiced in many different places, most notably in Louisiana and Africa.


Satanism

Satanism, in short, is bettering yourself with the help of Satan. There are many different kinds of Satanism, most notably LaVeyan Satanism and the Joy of Satan Ministries. LaVeyan Satanism believes that Satan isn't real, just a symbol. They are atheistic and egotistical. The Joy of Satan believes that Satan is very real, and that he is an alien on a distant planet along with other gods. They believe their way of Satanism was the very first religion but others took from it, when it's the other way around. They got the Jewish rule right, though! It is pretty much Satanic Mormonism and is very odd.
