Black magic, since times of yore has long been misunderstood by both the non-magic folk and the traditionalist magicians. Black magic practitioners, by and large have been shunned even within the magic community for unethical practices for mostly superficial reasons. The basic argument by many about the difference between black magic and white magic is that black magic goes against the laws of nature by manipulating and changing the energies around someone forcefully (lets say for example on a particular target for a lust or love spell on a particular target).
On the other hand making general magic work on making oneself more attractive is thought of as white magic since you are just advancing yourself. Forceful influencing is thus frowned upon and thought of as black magic. This is a flawed reasoning on the concept of Black magic since one way or another forceful influencing is going on in all aspects of our life. Using a Hugo Boss cologne to smell more attractive generally can also be viewed as forceful influencing as there is bound to be someone who is really into that cologne. Using hypnotic and NLP(Neuro Linguistic Programming) to influence buyers when making sales would then also be black magic since you are forcefully influencing the mind to be more agreeable to your point of view.
What it basically is, is that black magic is mostly opposed by folk who more often then not, are practitioners of the Solar cult side of magic; that is either those who use the name of the Christian God Jehovah and the Angelic entities within the system or those who use The Magic of the Sun God of ancient Egyptian magic. These entities are "solar powered" beings in a sense and derive their powers from the light(does not necessarily mean Good) and therefore opposers of Black magic, their polar opposites. Also of issue is that the train of thought in white magic practitioners in that since Solar beings mean good then Black magic being the opposite must be bad. They fail to realize that both are different sides of the SAME coin, one cannot exist without the order just like all other aspects in the universe(i.e Night and Day, Yin and Yang, Male and Female).
Black magic on the other hand derives its power from the Moon. That is the reason lust and love spells work the greatest when they are implemented during a Waxing or Full moon. Also the Sumerian/Babylonian entities and the Goetic beings are powered by Black magic, meaning the moon. You might ask , well doesn't the moon get its power from the Sun too, so would that mean black magic and white magic are the same? Yes you are right. They are both the same and yet also different. Solar magic works in a way like a bomb in that it affects everything around it generally but no particular target. That is why white magic is best used for general purpose reasons like General attraction. Black magic or lunar magic as it is known by some is like using a futuristic laser weapon in that it focuses the intense power of the sun and directs it for a specific purpose, be it a love spell a lust spell or a custom spell for a specific purpose.
In ending I would like to reiterate the point that black magic is not evil and if you consider it evil then buying flowers to get someone to like you is also an unpardonable sin. Black and white, to the enlightened mind is one and the same.
