Reading between the lines in regards to your post I dont think using NAP in a dark or light side has anything to do with timing, they both work just as effectively and doing your homework you would find most of the spirits in NAP conflicting with a stereotypical Satanic bent.. Most of the spirits are from hebrew Grimoires and traditions eg: The Sixth and Seventh books of Moses.. And thats if you believe Satan and Lucifer are the same spirit when there is plenty of raging debate that they are not one and the same.. Magic is a technology its the Intent of the operator that renders the outcome. As for backfire that only occurs from the fulfillment of unwise wishes.
Vovin...I don't think I asked my question very well. I just meant that people posting seem to have gotten dramatically effective results from using the "black" part of NAP, while people, including myself, have seemed to have had less than incredible results with the other spells in NAP. Comparitively speaking that is. So I was wondering if there is more "punch" to the Darker side? This would make sense to me from the perspective that Darker magik would be closer to the Earthly plane and the energy present in this plane at this time. If it is closer it would allow for an earlier and more dramatic manifestation. Does that make any more sense? I have done a little homework *pokes out tongue* and I did read the books of Moses and Seals of Solomon years and years ago. I will have to look them up again if there is a correlation though...thanks! I always thought Lucifer and Satan were different entities. Doesn't Satan correspond to fire, Lucifer air, Belilal earth and Leviathan (sp?)water? I always thought that the idea of "God's" antithesis being one being was a typical Xian perversion designed to limit the obvious number of Beings disatisfied with "his" rule?
El Brujo...thanks for answering the above. But don't you think the Law of Karma is the same thing as the Law of Attraction? It's very similar. The kinds of energy/actions you set out is what you get in return. I know I always thought they were the same. It's important for me to understand this. There have been times I've wanted to use the Astral Bomb or some of the others, but with my luck...I'll get a spanking from Big Daddy. And not the good kind either!!! *S* See, when I read NAP, I got the idea that the "Dark Magik" side really wasn't Dark. That it's all neutral so there was no price to pay or Karma or backlash or whatever. What do you think?
satanservant...could you describe some of the precautions you've taken? I'm very interested in your perspective but I would love more detail.
Sorry for the multiple post guys, I was trying to cut back on my posts in case some one throws a hissy fit again!
