Second Answer
These terms are classifications of historical magical practices made by Sir James Frazer in his book The Golden Bough. The term Sympathetic magic is an umbrella term for the principles of Similarity and Contagion. Similarity being the principle in magic which likes cause likes. So as an example would be a certain Jewish love charm was created with the names of the desired recipients and along with other rituals in scripted with a phrase that asks the angels to burn the heart of a certain man then later also saying the eyes of the woman to be lighted like a candle. After finished the amulet was to be burned in a fire. The law of Contagion says that once a person has touch or owned something it creates a bond, which can be used magically, that can never be broken. An example would be using someone's fingernails in a curse. A voodoo doll is a perfect example of both principles. You need the victim's hair to cast the curse and the action of sticking in pins creates the pain or misfortune. These forms of classification are cross cultural and purely historical.
Why do you need magic in life?
True magic can be used for a lot of things like:giving people/things bad or good luck, helping a person fall in love and so on but just like every thing in life you must study/do research to gain knowledge and in magic/the arts you must do the following things to get the best results which is:you must do the mathematics,the probability(chance) and you must have a strong will and mind to do magic and once you do the math, and add in the probability(which is chance) you will get results in some form.So with magic you can do lots of things to help you out in life from luck to weather and so on you just have to do the math,the probability,and a little meditation and you will get results in some form you may get what you want and you may not get what you want and that's how true magic works you don't get what you want all the time and that's the same thing with life.

What if a witch wasnt evil will they still go to hell?
Witches don't go to hell. That is something that is believed by certain religious groups but those of us who practice the craft do not believe it to be true.
As part of our belief system we recognise the rule of three. "That which you send out, will return to you three fold." This tends to make us check our ethics and motivations closely before we start a working. It also tends to take care of the "evil" ones without the wait for hell.
If you put enough research, work, and energy into it ALL spells work.
I suggest however you be absolutely certain of your motivations, ethics and abilities before you undertake any spell.
If you are an experienced practitioner, you know what you are getting into. If you are relatively new to magic, I suggest you do a lot of research before getting involved in a spell. More often than not, working in the mundane world at your relationship, your inter-personal skills and your true reasons.
Magic is NEVER an easy way to get things done.
The reality of it is there are so many different forms of magic, rituals and ways to carry it out that if I were to sit here and list it until I stop.. I would probably be dead. Many (and I do mean many) of people have composed volumes and volumes of information on magics that has been handed down through families, by friends, via the internet or they created themselves. Saying from personal experience, you learn a bunch of different forms of magic that you didn't know exsisted and guess what? The surprise never stopss. Even if you begin practicing candle magic for instance and perform simple spells with one candle being infused with energy you will later find in your nonstop education that there are more ways you can use these fantastic fire sticks. You can put them in a circle on the borders of your Circle for a ritual. You can place them in certain positions to make a form of some symbol or shape to perform a special spell of your own making. You can throw it at your cat if he claws you in the middle of your ritual set up.... not really...
So yeah, long answer short.. there's too many to list. But with study and patience, you will find yourself with enough information to fill up a bunch of books.
So blessed be, and watch out for angry cats!
That depends on whether they are singing in the shower, have a cold, and any other number of factors..
