I'm doing a project for my world religion class and it can be anything you can think of, like writing a poem, creating a dance, making a short film out a story, ect.. just has to do with religion.
I want to do my project on magic, so heres some examples of what my project can be about -
- The christian view on magic - or
- ____(insert religion) view on magic -
- How black and white magic is mentioned in the Vedas(sacred texts) from Hinduism -
- The mention of magic in multiple sacred texts from different religions -
- ect...
For my project I am supposed to use the major world religions that we go over in class, but that isnt my concern right now.
So what I would like from anyone here is to direct me to any information of magic and religion having to do anything with each other, books, sites, ect... There really isnt a limit of what you can send me. I'm just hoping you guys can broaden my ideas through more information.
What do you mean compare and contrast magick and religion? I don't understand. There are some forms of magick that ARE a religion, so I'm not sure what the purpose/intent of your project is.
Can you please give a couple examples so we can understand you better?
I edited my first post, so it actually makes sense.
You may want to research alchemy; specifically the works of Franz Bardon. He does draw some parallels between hermetics and jesus -- or maybe those were parallels I drew on my own (forget now). Anyways, you can read it and draw your own conclusions. He wrote 3 books. The only one you need to focus on for your purposes is his first: Initiation Into Hermetics.
