Is magic demonic? Why do esoteric groups from completely unrelated cultures practice the same magic attached to self reflection and environment and I don't mean tricks or tarot cards. Though why do these secret rich and elite groups get bad rep like Masons and Wiccas? for eating adrenaline glands of babies or human trafficking etc...?
Why did God/Christ condemn it?

It makes your temptations stronger. Like knowing how to punch makes you more likely to look for an excuse to punch someone. Hence why things like cannibalism wind up being so common in these things, even if they have noble beginnings.

"Magic" is the use of a fundamental force in the cosmos. It has a "light" and a "dark" side, like at StarWars. Using the light/positive force is no problem, people can heal with that and break curses and exorcise evil spirits and such. Using the force of the dark side brings one in conntact with the demons, and that has bad consequences.

I am on a bit of an ascetic/cynic bender at the moment, but I imagine that magic removes you from something valuable in remaining 'simple', that maybe you cannot reach important realisations with higher assistance since it is the low state of humanity that the reward of whatever 'it' is we are looking for in life. Christ lived simply as a symbol of the value in it, as did most wise men with much to teach humanity.
Personally I think magic is a bit of an indulgence, kind of like how eating food is satisfying, but will eating a lot of food satisfy you entirely? No, it must be gained from something more fulfilling.

religion has truth in it otherwise it would not work but it is a control mechanism.

im not an adept of crowley but the sentence "do as thou wilt" has some incredible depth to it.

just do what you truly want to do at the deepest level and this is the actual problem, knowing yourself that good

depends on the type of magic, but it doesnt matter bc christianity is fake garbage. even if it were true, do you know how much suffering animals in factory farms experience? you dont do it directly but you pay the people who do indirectly. is that not a greater sin? besides you cant even ask god thats why there are so many denominations. anyways ive done tons of magic and you will attract dark entities but only because you used all your light which accrues slowly, and they come around at that point. but yeah christianity is garbage. i use the light of creation i dont need god or jesus. also i havee conquered the darkness within by my damn self. i am commander of the abyss, satan himself. but im not evil.

>is magic denomic?
There are only two ways such power can be used. The first is through the blessing/miracles of God or the dealings of demons. God doesn't give blessings and miracles all the time as he doesn't want someone to be a slave to materialism. He doesn't only bless those who follow him as everyone deserves a second chance in life. Demons will give you anything and everything you ask for at the cost of your soul. Once you do that it doesn't matter what you do once you die your fate is sealed for damnation.
Magic was never truly for humans as the use of supernatural powers bends and twists the natural order and demons are commonly known for doing such things for humans who crave materialistic things like fame, wealth, and power. These things despite being granted to them will all crumble to dust once they die only to be remembered by the generation that worshipped them
TL;DR yes

The whole point of starwars was both creeds were cancers on the force hell the Jedi were worse since they spread far more aggressively while the sith realized their tumor creed stacked the power of dead sith on living ones and exploited it with the law of two

Anakin was the chosen one the Jedi just failed to realize they were the problem and the republic was so overwhelmingly unpopular it collapsed again immediately without armies backing it

Rey ironically was a mirror of palpatine Jedi numbers were so cut down the same cancer boost fell on her that the sith were exploiting alongside a living force sensitive body the Jedi abhorred creating

Luke still had obi wan, Yoda, possibly even Vader and any other survivors of the Jedi competing for that power

Acceptable modern morality is bullshit twisted into knots to make divine abandonment seem like love, excuse whatever new tier of tyranny as wisdom, and gaslighting yourself into thinking this place is anything but hell regardless of how little sense any of it makes because history has shown time and time again people will make mountains of dead saints rather than admit a devil rules them
