Fair to say. But a blessing bestowed is still is directed thing. It really depends what you are doing. For sample. A priest creates holy water by blessing the water. He invokes god and beeches for assistance. Witches do the same process in their spellwork. Reiki or other energy work, even shamanism has a magic component to it. Magic as defined by Scott Cunningham is the manipulation of energy to affect needed change. Its the best broad definition I have come by to this point. My question was why can priests ignore the bible they preach from but everyone else is damned?
And really it was to call attention to the fact that he/she is following mandate when the very establishment doesn't.
