Magic is an Ancient word for "energy moving". The way you perform that moving varies according to the methods you use. For Inner Understanding and Truth-Seeking purposes, Cosmo-Centered beliefs, like the Eastern Buddhism and Hinduism, are the best. For practical results, African and European methods are more functional.

1 - Sorcery/Enchantment/Witchcraft/"Low Magic":

A spirit locked at the Pineal Gland is a Birth Spirit, or a Human. One cannot easiliy use or be aware of it, so a good way to perform magic is making unborn spirits do it in our place.
For this, we "pay" them for many ways, beliefs, and methods. Wiccans lock themselves to their "Goddess", Hermetic Pratictioner try to invoke by word sounds the pure forces of Universe. Africans do the easy way: offer Energy in exchange of results;

2 - "Transcendental" or "High Magic":

Eliphas Levi stated that, if we can understad the BASIS of the Universe, we can influence it as well. This way, you try and train to get contact with YOUR Inner Spirit instead of trading with the Entities. He said the True Mages only perform High Magic, because any other sorcerer is a slave of the entities he pays or deals with. There are no more of a dozen persons in the whole world who can do that, today, and are all unknown;

3 - "Miracle" or "Highest's Power"

Only Avatars can perform it: Jesus Christ, Sri Krishna, and all the Buddhas. Through Enlightnment, they can move energy by free will, and need no dealing with entities or spirits.

Witch, Enchantress, or Sorcerer, we're all locked at number one. That why exchange information is so important. Trying to advance even for High Magic would take years with maybe poor results. The choice only depends of the person's intentions on using magic
