For example, let's say you are trying to bind someone, which is something that shouldn't be messed around with, because this is attempting to control some of their free will and sway them in a certain direction. Binding isn't frequently encouraged or smiled upon because of those reasons, but let's say someone is doing serious damage and destruction to yourself or ones you love? Your intentions could be positive because you are trying to stop someone from harming themselves, you, your loved ones, or innocent people / etc in general.
When I think of magic I think of energy, intentions, not black and white, dark or light. Just because something is dark doesn't mean it's evil, the same goes for light. White magic is defined as magic that is used for good. White magic is most commonly thought of as healing magic, or spells and rituals that aid people. White magic, healing or "good", as opposed to Black magic see also Black magic paranormal. Real White Magic Spells that work can be used to protect, bless, heal, and help yourself or others. They can be used to bless or purify new ventures, clear and heal the mind and body, shield people and places from curses and hexes, turn back evil magic spells and incantations, reverse bad conditions, break jinxes, and allow good dreams and wishes to come true. Real White Magic Spells that work are all intended to be positive, uplifting, kind, beneficial, and gentle. White Magic Spells are designed to be defensive, helpful--never hurtful. The forms and components of black magic spells are different. They often reflect the focus, aims, or interests of those casting the spells, which is in stark contrast to the casting of white magic spells. The casting of black magic spells often incorporates symbolism of those things which could be interpreted as possibly hazardous or harmful to humans, such as sharp, pointed, caustic, and/or hot elements combined with personal objects from the spell's focus (a lock of hair, a drop or smear of blood, personal mementos, etc.). And while this distinction is primarily observable in folk magic, it can pertain to other forms of magic also.
Black Magic---Where black magic is used to harm people, white magic is sometimes defined by the intent behind it. According to some schools of thought, a spell or ritual can be either black or white--the difference is the intent with which it is conducted
Function of white magic-
White magic spells are often spells that will enhance beauty heal illnesses, increase luck, and alter the weather to create sunny days, protect a home or individual, banish evil and hold demons at bay.
Practitioners--Those who practice white magic often refer to themselves as priestess, priests, clerics, shamans and witches.
Features of white magic- White magic spells often contain an element that includes talismans or amulets in the casting.What is white magic and what makes it white? At the heart all magic is the same and has no color, however, it is common today to believe that different types of magic has different color.
Different colors in magic have been made common place due to their use in movies, television and video games. Typically colors like red or pink are love magic, green is for money and wealth, black is evil and white is good.
When people talk about white magic, then generally refer to healing and
helping magic spells. Keeping your spellbook color-coded, red for love
spells, green for money, black for death and white for healing is fairly
common but not required. An important thing to remember is that all
magic is magic, and there really is no such thing as evil magic or good
magic.
all magickal operation is identical. The energy used in
"Black Magic" is the exact same energy used in "White Magic". It is not
the kind of energy or the source of the energy used that separates one
form of magick from another, but rather, it is the intent (the
specified outcome) of the magick as programmed by the practitioner that
determines the black or white aspect of the magick. These five steps
include; desire, intent, alignment, ritual and expectation. Intent is
the steering wheel of the magickal operation. It is the the aspect of
the magickal operation that actually "programs" or dictates how the
expected outcome of the magick will come into manifestation, exactly
what the magick is to do, the manner in which it will be accomplished
(if required), and what is to transpire at the completion of the magick
(how the energy used in the magick will be dissipated at the conclusion
of the work). So, lets look at the difference between "Black" and "White" magick. In this world, there are Two Great Laws of Interaction. These Two Great Laws constitute the basis by which we can easily discern "Black Magic" from "White Magick", and the corresponding creation of "karma" (the eternal negative consequences of our mortal behavior) when eternal laws are broken. The Two Great Laws state:
1. You shall not
deliberately, maliciously, with forethought and intent, injure another
on any level or plane of mortal association - mentally, physically,
emotionally, or spiritually. This law also includes murder.
2. You shall not
deliberately, maliciously, with forethought and intent, deprive another
of their "free agency" (the right and ability to make decisions
relating to the path and destiny of one's life).
Although you may at times do things which inadvertently violate one of these laws, the lack of deliberation, malice, and intent negates the karmic aspect. In the case of inadvertent violations, this is called "experience". We are all here to experience life and its associated trials and difficulties, most of which we either bring upon ourselves or someone creates for us. That's just part of life, and necessary to our growth and evolution. Only when the specified conditions of deliberate, malicious intent with forethought stated in the Two Great Laws is violated have we crossed the line, and eternal consequences and retribution are mandated. There are, of course, always natural consequences to the decisions that we make.

That again is part of
our
mortal learning process, but natural consequences do not have eternal
ramifications. Natural consequences are contained within this mortal
experience and are here to teach us the lessons inherent in mortality.
When we pass beyond the bounds of this lifetime, we take the knowledge
and wisdom of our experiences with us, and hopefully, leave the highly
charged emotional aspects of the experience behind. It is, however,
this highly charged emotional aspect of the experience that imprints
the experience within our memory and makes it a lasting part of our
life.
Using the Two Great Laws as our guide, can we say that "White Magic" is any magickal operation that does not violate either of the Two Great Laws and that "Black Magic" is any magickal operation that does violate either of the Two Great Laws? Simply put, yes. However, let's look at this further.
In Central and South America, there are three broad categories of sorcerers. These three broad categories broken down into their individual components may make our study much easier. The first category is called "curandera" or "curandero", depending on the gender, and means "curer" (healer). This is an individual trained in healing and other magickal operations frequently referred to as "white magick". The second category is that of "bruja" or "brujo". This is someone known to practice the "black arts", or what is perceived as the negative use of magick. This sorcerer is usually widely known and feared. He/she specializes in death, disease and misfortune. In some areas of the world, and within certain cultures, this practice can be very widespread. The final category is that of "shaman". A shaman is essentially a bridge between the "currandera" and the "bruja". The shaman is equally versed in the white and black arts, and understands that the basis of all magickal operation is identical. It is the practitioner that determines the course and outcome of his/her work. The shaman knows that greatest source of available power for magickal operation resides in the dark side of human nature. Like the "bruja", the shaman has walked the deep, dark depths of his/her soul and has confronted his/her own demons. His/her reality has been systematically destroyed and rebuilt upon an entirely different foundation. The shaman knows that balance is the key to power and magick, and that balance requires that the shaman be able to walk equally as far into the darkness as into the light. The shaman, unlike the curandera or the bruja, is willing to cross the line between black and white, at will, without reservation or hesitation to keep the balance. Like the "Heyoka" of Oglala (what most non-Native Americans refer to as the Sioux Indians) tradition, the shaman is the sliding balance of power on the scale of Light and Dark.
