My thoughts on "white/ black" magick
When I first read about the term as a baby witch, I always prefered the "black". Even though it wasn't that long ago, back then most representation on social media where wiccans who strictly followed the rule of three. So I thought that's what a witch did, and I reluctantly followed it - even though in the back of my mind I had a hard time marrying this doctrine with the folkloric archetype that I looked up to...
Being a tumblr regular, I soon came to find out that the rule of three wasn't for everybody (yey!) and that the dicotomy of "black/ white" is just racist rhetoric (goddammit). So I stopped using those terms, switching to "light/ dark" instead, because - yeah, don't be racist folks'.
But alas, even my new terminology has racist undertones - or at least colourist. Which actually came as a surprise to me. See, where I come from, my immediate association with both "black/ white magick" and "light/ dark" has never been connected to skin colour, I've always thought of it as night and day. And in that I've really come to like the "light/ dark" terminology... Like, I don't see "dark" magick as bad/ evil/ neferious etc; I see it as a harder kind of magick to perform.
Imagine magick like walking through a forest. Doing it in the daylight, you can easily see where you walk. There aren't many predators lurking around, and you can just relaxe and breathe in the atmosphere. The same place in the dark however, can be really dangerous. If you aren't careful you could hurt yourself on something as silly as a root. In general, you wouldn't venture out in a dark forest unless you knew it really well in the light first - or was desperate.
Maybe I should change my terminology to "nightmagick" and "daymagick"... Although I'd imagine that would become a little confusing if I wanted to to a "nightspell" during the day or vice verse. Anyways; in my strictly personal view, wanting to have a "light" practise is completely respectible, but looking down on "dark" workers just tells me that you're really afraid of the dark... And what was that thing Terry Pratchett said about witches?
