Re: Witchcraft

This is a thread for me and Pinky.
I have practiced it and had results but I am a not a huge practitioner which may surprise some people. Basically (in my views anyway) witchcraft is harnessing your own power and that of the universe and making what you desire manifest. If it's meant to happen and you've done everything right, then it probably will. That thing that says "be careful what you ask for" applies here. Many witches or at least Wiccans (not the same necessarily) subscribe to the Threefold Law which states that whatever you send out, you will get back three times as hard. So you always want to send out good so good will come back to you. I don't subscribe to this very much but it is a good "check and balance" system.

Re: Witchcraft

I'm not a practitioner of Wicca or any of the other Old Religions, but I have respect for the practical aspects of them.

Do you mean the rituals involved, Rob, or...?

I mean the overall veneration of the Earth (Gaia) that they promote, as well as those aspects that speak to self-sufficiency and the power of the individual. None of this "Just you wait until our Savior comes back!" stuff.

The "magickal" aspects are the least interesting to me. I believe I left an Arthur C. Clark quote lying around the forums somewhere...

Re: Witchcraft

I can't get beyond the "I personally don't believe it exists" part of the question, I'm not sure what it means. Do you mean you don't believe anyone calls themselves witches? What would be odd, some people on the site use the word to describe themselves. Do you mean you don't believe witchcraft is practiced? You've got people on the site who practice it. Do you mean you don't believe anything happens when they practice it? You've got first-hand testimony that it does from the members involved. At that point I run out of questions. I can well believe you don't practice it yourself but that's not the same. If you give a bit more background to what you're asking I'd be grateful.

Re: Witchcraft

^ Big surprise there, Spot... To be honest, I had the very same thought... I wasn't certain what was being asked specifically, despite the typo... for some reason I'm conjuring images of witches in the mythical sense of the term...

Re: Witchcraft

Reading between the lines it seems to me all ML is saying is he doesent know anything about witchcraft & wants to learn or just what is witchcraft. Is it all about casting spells? Red & Pinky seem to know quite a lot about it, they can help you more than i but i'll throw something in your cauldron ML.

My own take, if you believe in something enough ML then its true, real to you & no changing it. some people are looking for a spiritual awakening, are searching for something to believe in, something to aspire to thats not necessarily a religion.

Ive seen things they say is witchcraft but thats not how i term it. What we can do with our mind is amazing. I would say its impossible to walk on broken glass without cutting your feet, walk on hot coals without burning them, then i seen it done. Are these people under a spell to be able to do that? Yes of sorts, so does that make it witchcraft - No & yet to others its obvious that it is.
