THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE MAGIC

Some people, when speaking of magic, divide its uses into two
categories: white magic and black magic. The definition of these terms, however, is highly subjective, varying from location to location, across time periods, and even person to person.

Essentially, white magic is magic that the speaker considers to be acceptable magic, while black magic is that which is unacceptable, and the limits of acceptable and unacceptable are defined by culture

Today, many speakers consider white magic to be magic that is only beneficial to the caster or others, such as healing and divination. Black magic is magic that is meant to cause harm to another person, what might be called a curse or a hex. The term white magic also sometimes implies spiritual magic.

The last type, "Magic", is also known as "Ceremonial Magic", began primarily as an offshoot of the Freemasonry movement.

Wikipedia:
Christian views on magic vary widely among denominations and among individuals. Some Christians actively condemn any form of magic as satanic, holding that it opens the way for demonic possession. Others simply dismiss it as superstition. Conversely, some branches of esoteric Christianity actively engage in magical practices.
