True magic is neither black or white; it is both because nature is both. One cannot have light without darkness. The nature of magic lies squarely in the heart of the one who casts the spell.
And with those helpful little tidbits, we’ll end today’s lesson in the magical arts. Tomorrow, we’ll cover sage and its many uses (it ain’t just for roasting a chicken!), candle colors and their corresponding meanings, and we’ll demonstrate some helpful tips and tricks for plucking the eyes from newts.
(Just kidding… every good witch knows that “eye of newt” is just a code name for mustard seed.)
Whether you believe that magic is real or not, one thing is certain: magic of any color is a fascinating subject all over the world. For hundreds if not thousands of years, tales of magic have been spun by the campfire, told to children as bedtime stories, or served up as cautionary tales about dabbling in forces that are better left untamed.
And black magic… well, that’s one of the spookiest types of magic out there. It’s dark, mysterious and full of terrors. But… does it have to be? There are a number of songs that have been written on the subject, including a poppy tune from Little Mix, a guitar-heavy number from Santana, and Donovan’s hypnotizing melody in the “Season of The Witch.” To that end, black magic can actually be something beautiful (you know, as long as you’re not tearing the heads off of live chickens in the process).
To celebrate the spirit of black magic, YouWorkForThem has witch-crafted a collection of 100 vector line illustrations with a gothic, magical flair. Black Magic is a potent brew of occult drawings that are perfect for any design project with a Pagan theme, including website designs, publishing, posters, stationery, product packaging, merchandise, apparel, and even mobile applications.
Black Magic is also well suited to Halloween designs and any design project that needs a spooky, magical touch without a hint of gore. With October (the actual season of the witch) just around the corner, you’re going to want to add a little Black Magic to your design arsenal! These illustrations are perfect for witch-crafting party invitations, treat bags, temporary tattoos, iron-on designs for t-shirts, and any other Halloween craft you can come up with. If you’re the type of witch who uses a three-ring binder as a Book of Shadows, why not use a little bit of Black Magic to decorate the pages? The possibilities are endless!
Black Magic includes illustrations of the triple-moon, pentacles, athames, tarot cards, palmistry, skeleton keys, crystals, skulls, bones, cobwebs, cauldrons, candles, and more. These files are offered in both .ai and .eps format so we recommend using them with an appropriate vector editing program for best results.
