Hello, I am wondering about the proper measures to take in order to utilize certain acts elemental magic given in Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, particularly, concerning the Agave Americana plant. Samael states that this plant has powerful occult properties and gives an example of using it to clear a person's evil thoughts and fortify their pure thoughts. How does one carry this process out so that it does not fall into black magic, as I remembering reading that trying to control another person's thoughts is black. Could Samael do this because he was a master and could distinguish? For example, if I knew someone with an alcohol problem/depression, or something clearly hindering their path to righteousness, I could ask for aid from the plant, although is it not a slippery slope in distinguishing between right and wrong when I myself have the psychological ego alive and am not aware of this persons karma? I have not attempted acts of elemental magic such as these am wondering about these matters.
Thank you.
Thank you.
