[BigSmooth]

I'm not a witch, but the Force is with me.

 

[Prodigy^]

nopes not in any way. if somebody ever shows me witchcraft and it's for real, it's just reality and not witchcraft imo.

 

[fir3wir3]

prodigy, are you saying you dont believe in the &quot;hollywood&quot; version? or you think the reality based version is bogus too?

 

[RevVveD]

Thanks fir, yes, it really is mine.. Im in the process of updating and transferring it to a new layout and format and new address - www.witchesrealm.org , unfortunately until my cable modem gets hooked, you'll get a 404

For those who are into this stuff:

I know someone who's into Wicca. But I've never seen anything happen. This person lives a basic life (works at Wal-Mart and hates it) and pretty much the only thing they are passionate about it plants and herbs. If this really had something to it, wouldn't you try to win the lottery or do something to better your life with these powers.

Instead, I see this person wasting alot of money on incense, spiritual books, charms, etc. But nothing to show for it.

I guess that's why it's hard to believe. People claim to practice it, but there's never any results to look at.

 

[Double Trouble]

One word: Baloney.

If you fall for any of that nonsense, I have a bridge to sell you...

All that wicca/whichcraft/voodoo/magic BS is about as real as the lady on TV saying she'll do a Tarot card readin' for ya mon. Call me now ya hear

 

[fir3wir3]

Tagej, apparantly you dont understand what wicca is or you're ignorant...or both.

ABout the lottery comment

There's black magik and white magik...IMO...specifically asking to win the lottery would fall under black magik and I dont practice that.

Black magik is what satanism is to christianity...not really...but thats the best way I can describe it.

 

[shifrbv]

Why would winning the lottery be considered black magic?

 

[fir3wir3]

Well, like I said IMO

Thats just my beliefs. Generally black magik means asking for harm to occur to others. I think it'd be borderline..

I mean...come on...you're talking about winning the lottery. I dont know which religion you belong to...but would you burden your god w/ that type of request?

 

[Double Trouble]

<<Tagej, apparantly you dont understand what wicca is or you're ignorant...or both. >>

Bwahahahahah .... don't you have some sort of incense to go burn or something??

 

[fir3wir3]

looks like you just answered my question

ignorance is bliss (so they say)

 

[blurredvision]

eh, I don't really understand all of it, so I won't make any harsh comments as tagej did. It's sort of like ghosts to me. I don't beleive in it till I see it.

 

[vi edit]

So Moses really did part the red sea?

 

[poop]

I do not believe in the metaphysical.

That is about the most broad statement I could make.

 

[AvesPKS]

No.

Very good point vi. Magic, like religion, is very difficult (if not impossible) to verify. The process brings about individual change, and the faith in it's workings are what cause &quot;individual alchemy&quot; to occur. Truth is, I've studied the Occult in all aspects for well over 10 years until I decided to drop the more distateful aspects of it when I decided to become Christian. To this day I find nothing wrong with the majority of ritual magic (GD, RC, freemasonry, etc), and still study the more asthetic aspects of Kabbalistic philosophy... I guess more because of my &quot;need to know&quot; than for any other reason.

Witchcraft in general has really gotten an undeserved &quot;bad rap&quot; over the years due to people's misunderstanding of what withcraft is.

1.) It's not Satanism. True, some witches can do some pretty unsavory things... by the same token others do very beneficial things, it's all about balance. Probably the worst harm that was done to the witch community as a whole was when LeVay adopted the term &quot;witch&quot; to describe the members of his Satanic coven. I know some GD people that are still steaming over that.

2.) The foundations of modern withcraft are in Celtic Druidism and Kabbalah/Hermetics, were it not for the Martinists in the late 19th century, Witchcraft probably wouldn't exist in it's present form.

3.) The religious basis for this belief is very diverse, and for the most part up to the individual practioner... I've even met some Christian Druids (an interesting lot, I can assure you). Witchcraft is not a religion, it's a practice/philosophy. I know some that make it their religion, but this generally isn't the case.



So, the question... is Witchcraft real? Only you can answer that, it's according to your perception. I myself believe that Occult practices (including witchcraft) are real. The human will is a very powerful thing.
