I am a real Witch.  Wiccans believe that everyone has the potential to perform spells.  Here's a few links about Wicca/Witchcraft.

Witchcraft is very real in a spiritual sense and is listed in the word of God hun.\n  1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.\n  The word of God says that we are  priests and kings unto our God. This scripture was spoken from Samuel to Saul but should be a warning that all who reject the word of God can lose their place in the kingdom of God and have their name blotted out of the book of life. \n  Many of the modern day practicioners of witchcraft may be preaching from behind pulpits. As our precious Lord said, Howbeit in vain do they worship me; teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.\n  Those who are rebellious and stubborn as Vashti may find themselves hearing depart from me ye workers of iniquity. They can only reject the word of the Lord so long and cleave to what they want and he may very well cast them off. \n  The word of God says that the wicked are led forth with workers of iniquity. Many are witches in unawares and turned over to a reprobate mind being reserved to the day of judgement.\n  But that's just my opinion.\n  Love,\n  Samantha.

I think they can be manifested in Santeria rituals.  A lot of bizarre magick is performed through Santerian rituals.  I'm looking to explore that after mastering Enochian magick.

Casting spells doesn't make you a witch.  Casting spells makes you a sorceress or magician.  To be a witch, you would have to follow the path of Wicca, which is the religion of witchcraft.  The religion of witchcraft and the practice of witchcraft are two different things.

Yes, but some take offense at the word "Witches" because it has implications of bad. \nWicca is a branch of Paganism. Wiccans are sometimes reffered to as witches. It is a religion with Gods and Goddesses, and yes, magic. A lot of the rituals are based on nature, and most Wiccans don't belive in hurting people or cursing people, as that can have strong reprecussions.

Let me begin by noting the incredible power of the mind to both deceive and to work wonders.  The mind creates whatever you have faith for it to create, regardless of its basis in reality.  You can see anything you want, real or unreal.  Witchcraft is a methodology/tradition used in building "faith" in accomplishing various agendas.  Do not assume that those who practice magic actually affect reality.  My experience is that this is not the case at all, though it can seem real even to the subjects themselves.\n\nIs witchcraft a religion?  How do you wish to define religion?  Most people would agree that these kinds of organizations are pagan, and without God, but they do appear to hold preference for Greek/Roman style gods, godesses, and demi-gods.\n\nYour questions get tougher and tougher as they increasingly appeal to definitions and morality (i.e. good and bad), so I'll simply give you my opinion based on my experience with these individuals.  They prefer small, secretive, isolated worship, thus more closely fitting the definition of cult, except that they seem to prefer more individual, decentralized structures (i.e. no leaders or indoctrination).  A female friend testified that at the highest levels, she was required to not only denounce Jesus Christ, but declare an eternal war against Him and His followers; she was unable to do this and received all manner of "curses" and "hexes" from her "friends" because of this.  They have very active imaginations and love sensational events and conspiracy theories.  The Golden Rule of Reciprocity appears to be the crux of their morality.  Good returns for good deeds, and evil for evil.  They love all that defies the Laws of Nature, and most of them appear to hate Jesus Christ with a passion (for reasons quite incomprehensible to me).  I believe that their magic is no more than schizophrenia, perceiving things which are unreal as if they are in fact real, and that this is mentally very unhealthy.\n\nIn short, I would say that witchcraft is a bad and offers no lasting good.  My investigations of these traditions have been unhealthy for me.  If you decide to proceed, please exercise great caution as the mind is a terrible thing to waste or to lose control of.

There are many witches in the world. \nI personally don't like calling myself a witch because of TV media hype.. It doesn't explain about witchcraft or being a witch at all. \n\nWicca.. is a initiated tradition ..  So you couldn't really say a witch was in fact a Wiccan unless they were initiated into the tradition.\nAnd there are a few different traditions.\n\nPeople that pray to satan are normally called satanists..These are not to be confused with witches,  But there are still alot of ill informed people out there and they just put everyone in the one boat and call them evil. \n\nI call myself Pagan.  I follow a spiritual Religious path .\nRather than just a magical Path.\nBlessings ALD

Because it's now accepted that witches aren't real. \n\nThe people who used to accuse women of being witches are now considered to be stupid by everyone.

Witches are just normal people like you and I, they are not super beings.. they just practice magic. some practice black magic, and some white magic.. You need to stay away from the ones who practice black magic, they are only making trouble for themselves... but a person who practices white magic is doing good, for themselves and people around them.. black magic comes back to bite them in the butt 10 fold.. it must be carefully done.. and if you don't know what you are doing, you are going to get yourself and ones around you in big trouble.. White Witches are good at heart, and do good for all... A person who practices black magic will die with evil in their heart, and be damned for all eternity, and live a life of damnation.. not someone I would want to hang around with.. A white witch is doing good for mankind and the animals and the environment.. stick this them..

we're in the third dimension. . Talking to your soul is a matter of trusting your intuition, and yes, witches are real\n\nA line is one dimensional. A piece of paper is sort of two dimensional. And a basketball is three dimensional. This is important to conceptualizing our relationship with the spiritual. \n\nImagine a piece of paper. Now imagine a race of 2 dimensional stick people living on the paper. You (living in this three dimensional reality) see one of these stick people, and you say, "hey you!" the stick man looks around, but there's no one near him on the page. You say, "Hey, I'm talking to you," and you push on the man against the paper. He feels an odd and unnerving sensation for which he has no ability to understand. You press yourself against the page, and a sort of shadow of yourself appears on the page. This is very much like the relationship which we have with beings from the other realm. Humans exist in a primarily 3 dimensional universe, but scientists predict that there are many other dimensions.Whether or not this is exactly what is going on, it feels a lot like what is going on.\n\nIntuition is the key to tapping into the spiritual realm. Develop that through meditation, singing bowls, or divination tools such as tarot cards, runes, pendulum, scrying, magic 8 ball, whatever\n\nWitches are very real. I'll be with about a thousand in a week\n\nI once saw a one legged witch turn a storm.\n\nMy first ritual, we were all comfortable throughout the ritual, but the instant the ritual ended, we realized that the room was cold. The heat hadn't been on and the whole time and it was spring equinox.\n\nI do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could put healing energy into people and tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nFor a while, a witch and I maintained a karmic connection through an object which was divided and each of us kept half, and sometimes I would smell something, and call her up, and it was exactly what she was smelling.\n"Did you just make cookies?"\n"Was the dog just breathing in your face?"\n"Did you just disinfect something?"

Obviously not many witches succeed with casting the spells correctly.

Yes, witchcraft works. Humans live and operate in the third dimension, so we are limited in extra-dimensional activity. But there are extra-dimensional beings who can produce supernatural occurrences. Many that are involved in witchcraft, whether white or black, are merely conjuring up demonic and fallen angelic forces, which in turn create supernatural events. Witchcraft and black magic are very attractive to those who are seeking some kind of fulfillment in Harry Potter-like magic and witchcraft. It may SEEM glamorous, but is really a deceptive way to keep a human spirit in bondage and away from the light of the REAL power and truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

FAQ's of Witchcraft \n\nWhat is Witchcraft? Who are these Witches anyway?\nA practitioner of a nature-based belief system or religion. Not all Witches follow the same belief system. Some practice what is called the "old religion" which has its roots in pagan pre-monotheistic folk ways and beliefs and usually follows the seasonal cycles. These belief systems or "traditions" of Witches are often based upon the particular culture from whence they originated. Many Witches believe in a polytheistic deity structure (usually based upon the local gods and goddesses of the area of origin), but some simply practice magick (sometimes spelled with a 'k' to differentiate it from stage magic). Witches may practice alone as 'solitaries" or in covens. There are also family groups or traditions which trace their practices and beliefs within the same close group throughout several generations.\n\nTraditional Wicca:\nA modern form of Witchcraft is called "Wicca." Traditional Wicca is based on the teachings of Gerald Gardner, is coven based and each coven can trace its lineage (line of teaching passed on by initiated Traditional priests and priestesses) back to Gardner himself. There are offshoots of Gardnerian Traditional Wicca such as Alexandrian Wicca, Georgian Wicca and many others. Traditional Wiccans are considered a 'mystery' religion, require initiation by the coven and have a "degree system" or different levels of rank based upon coven training and the readiness of the initiate to accept the duties and responsibilities of that degree. They have a core of inner knowledge-often called the "Book of Shadows"-which is known only to initiated Wiccans. Most Traditional Wiccans believe in the balance of male-female divinity. Traditional Wiccans are seldom solitary except for those 'Elders'-usually former priests and priestesses-who may have retired from active coven involvement.\n\nOther Forms of Wicca:\nA newer form of Wicca has developed since the 1970's which is looser in structure and practice than the Traditional Wicca. These practitioners may follow a mixture of various or "eclectic' pagan and/or non-pagan beliefs. Some have formed 'traditions' or covens of their own, with or without a degree system, and have written a "book of shadows" outlining their own belief system and coven structure. Many are solitary practitioners who practice their beliefs and formulate their rituals in their own way.\n\nPagans:\nSince the terms Witch and Wiccan are often mistakenly interchanged, many simply call themselves "pagans" or Neo-pagans" when talking with others who may not be familiar with the complexity of the different belief systems. But just as not all Christians are Lutheran or Catholic, so not all pagans are Witches or Wiccan. Neo-paganism is a term used most often to describe people who follow an earth-based belief system or religion. Druids and the Norse tradition of Asatru (who tend to prefer the term 'heathen") are considered to be pagan belief systems, but their adherents are neither Witches nor Wiccans. Neo-paganism should also not be confused with the "New Age" movement as pagans are almost exclusively involved in distinctive nature religions or earth-based practices while New Age spirituality draws from many sources and esoteric spiritual techniques.\n\nQ: Are you a good Witch or a bad Witch?\nA: When you ask if someone is a "good" Witch or a "bad" Witch, it is the same as asking someone if they are a "good" Presbyterian or a "bad" Presbyterian. Wiccans adhere to the Rede, "An it harm none, do as ye will." Witches, Druids and other pagan belief systems and religions have their own ethical standards. There are good and bad people in every society and in every religion. When a person breaks the laws of society or the tenets of their religion,
