Black and White magic are just perceptions, man-made ideas.
Magic, as far as I know, is simply using the power of thought and will to create. Is that close enough? I think we do it everyday.
Believing a superstition can bring yourself bad luck, this is magic. You have created the bad luck with a thought.

Its a good list, but it's too much for one book in my opinion.
You should think about splitting it into two or three.

I was concerned you may have overlooked the "forgetting" or "letting the desire/hunger fade" bit but you covered EVERYTHING!
If you feel to, could you please expand on that bit for clarity!
Personal Disclosure: I find that the forgetting/letting the fairies or what have you etc, have space and time to do their magick stuff without babysitting them [they are both shy and proud! ], is the hardest part to actually perform well! NO PEEKING OK!
P.S Also PLEASE THANK the Energies once the spell becomes real.
Your working with the entire rest of existence and its also got an ego that needs stroking with praise!
And sometimes a sacrifice is required to help pave the way for the spell to work! Be aware of the cost/benefit ratio OK!

Well thought out, and I applaud your efforts.
it has to do with how the multiverse expands based on unique experiences.
since same experiences do not create new eternities.
so creating these new experiences or possibilities through sowing seeds or spells,
there are more potential futures you quantum bind to,
and so have more universes that you live in,
more entities that wish you to live longer,
as you are beneficial to we,
by providing for we.

I have a lot of questions.
Though we are all one,
are we apsects of other selves
answering questions,
and as another once told me
in relationship to our higher selves
dividing into two or four,
earning individual existence?
The duality and heartbreak here......
do we still the mind and not ask questions,
or does that equate non existence,
or do we choose more carefully our wishes,
and seek to allign with the higher goals of the council or those who advise?
With every timeline, fractal, universe, plane, reality created,
who do we people them with?
How do we go home?
And what did you mean by more entities wish you to live longer,
as you are beneficial to them?

I wouldn't say "hokus pokus" but it's assuredly not Harry Potter.
IMO all magic is, is asserting your mind over the situation at hand.
Mind over matter if you will.
Not in a metaphysical sense but in a real " self induced suggestion" kinda way.
