What called you to white magic?

Hey. I'm fairly new to learning the different types of magic in a structured way, and currently am exploring and learning more about different types. I felt called to learn more about theology/magick in general through signs, phenonenom and other experiences as I'm sure lots of us have, however now looking back on it with a bit more knowledge I think some of these signs could have been demonic in nature. I'd like to learn more about what people personally experience white magic as? Did you feel called towards it, or did you gravitate there on your own through other branches? I'm gonna have a look at some previous threads to see if there's any tips/resources for beginners but feel free to add them here if you are replying/want to share.

I came to it through my study of the Hermetic Qabalah and the writing of Israel Regardie, Aleister Crowley and others, where I learned about invocation and evocation. I had no interest in summoning demons, so I pursued invocation, banishing and talismanic magic.

Well, I can say that I felt both the call for White Magic as well as the need to do it and continue practicing it.

I felt my call to due White Magic as in my family my grandma has a lot of powerful energy to heal the evil eye using of course folk rituals from my country (Romania). This motivated me to study more about the Angels, as well as Incense and so on and so forth.

Now when it comes to the need of practicing it as well as continuing to do such, it came from when I had bad experiences with Satanism and Black Magic. Really damaging for the aura and the whole soul and when I decided to leave Satanism, I managed to develop even more on White Magic as I developed vast Kabbalistic knowledge about the Shem HaMephorash and many other things related to God, the Tetragramatron, Angelic Magick, and so on and so forth.

I don't like this dual polarity between "white" and "black" magic for several reasons. Firstly, it is crudely simplistic, there are many axes across which spiritual powers can be compared. More importantly, it's not even a clear distinction as it is.

In the system I'm using the colour white is associated with a certain domain of powers representing gentleness, joy and detachment, but it has relatively little to do with the common conception of "white magic"
