Using Knowledge as a Weapon – Christine Valters Paintner

“Whenever we are detached or withholding when we could help others, or if we use our knowledge as a weapon to undermine or exert power over others, or increase our own status, we are under the hold of the shadow [of the Magician]. This is an aspect of ‘black magic’ or ‘evil sorcery’ when the power and knowledge is used for harm rather than healing.”
