For us, Muggles (at least, I suppose, only tiny minority -readers of this note are wizards or witches), trying to do magic -is trying to do something which was not given to us, and that is -true occult, which is forbidden to us. Whether it is a pure -swindle and it is just pure waste of time and effort, or whether -occultists somehow gain some unholy power from some demonic -forces, is immaterial, it just shouldn’t be done. The only -example of somebody going against this prohibition in HP canon -would be then Mr Filch with his Kwikspell program. - -So, TL/DR: I don’t think it is necessary for Bible to be changed, -and yet I believe that it is possible to be -a Christian/Jewish/Moslem(?) wizard/witch (I actually don’t know, -what is `the Islamic position`_ on this verse and magic -generally). - -.. _`My theory on Christianity in the Wizarding World`: - https://www.reddit.com/r/HPfanfiction/comments/hd67xc/my_theory_on_christianity_in_the_wizarding_world/ - -.. _LordMacragge: - https://www.reddit.com/user/LordMacragge/ - -.. _`Thou Shalt Not Suffer by TheWizardsHarry`: - https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5176787 - -.. _`the Islamic position`: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchcraft#Islam |
