    One point of view is that High Magick concerns the ritual manipulation of energies, thoughtforms, and tools to obtain effective, reliable effects. It is also often said to be the commanding of natural spirits. Most commonly, it involves one's own energies, colored and amplified by set, circumstance, and will to achieve magickal action. Overall, this point of view considers high magick to be closely akin to science.
    By contrast, low (or hearth) magick concerns communion with divine energy and/or energies and spirits of plants, animals, etc. to obtain what is needed (rather than what is wanted) for oneself or others. Most commonly, this form uses personal energy as a gift to the spirits or to the Divine in return for aid. Essentially, this method is similar to prayer.
    Bear in mind that 'high' and 'low' in this case DO NOT mean better or worse; if anything, hearth magick is deeply more satisfying than high magick. Besides, nearly all ritual involves elements of both. In the end, it mostly depends on how 'rational' or 'ecstatic' your beliefs and practices are.

    Hope that helps... and doesn't offend...
