We all have unlimited creative potential. We can all "miraculously" manifest the seemingly impossible. Magic is just one discipline through which people learn to unlock their potential.
The best description of magic / witchcraft I ever read was that it is a set of routines and rituals using symbolic objects that gives the left "logical" side of the brain something tangible to focus on leaving the right "creative" side of the brain free to work its miracles with the intangible.
Once you understand this you can understand that with a bit of faith and learning be positive in the way we think and make a habit of focussing our thoughts on what we DO want instead of what we DON'T want, we can go from being "less than" unaware "sheeple" who just do what they're told to being masters of our own destinies and co-creators of our world.
Magic is a preferred method of manifesting for some, but it's really an intermediate step that's not necessary once you understand exactly how powerful a creator you really are and always have been.

Once again I find descriptions of magic and what it can actually do to be couched in ambiguous language and tergiversation. Can magic actually manifest palpable changes in the physical world which contemporary science should be unable to explain? You seem to be describing something like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Hypnosis, which aren't truly magical things at all. When I hear the word magic, I think of a force which can alter reality in ways that can not be rationally and scientifically explained. That doesn't seem to be what you people are talking about.
Has any of you ever actually achieved anything with magic? I should be very interested to know.
