Don't worry about it, witchcraft doesn't work. God is in control. Have faith in Jesus Christ, and you will be fine.

I'd start out with researching some books.  Not all will be truth.  Wicca isn't all about spells, it's not a quick-fix religion.  So if you're serious about pursuing that path, avoid the spell books for now.  Also look around to see if there are any groups in your area that you could talk to.  The thing about this path, there are so many peole (like in other religions) that will tell you that their way is the RIGHT way.  That's just not the case.  But only you can determine what's right for you.

One should be concerned about anyone doing "black magic rituals" .. not because it is real and not because of any religious beliefs but because of the simple fact that the person doing the ritual is wishing harm on others. When their ritual doesn't work they may, very well, try other more direct approaches to do harm.

It so tempting to try and believe in these things. Truth is, Satan himself would be pleased if you did. Because God sees and knows all. \n\nAs a human, you never have to find out what's going to happen to you. If you persist on this, you will stay where you are and do nothing, thus negating all what God has given you. On the other hand, if you work hard and pray hard, you will know where you're going without the need of witchcraft. A strong person needs not the falsehoods and lies to know his future, he makes HIS own future with God's aid and help.

yes, there are evil entities out there , that can possess your \nbody, your will and your mind. There are also really exorcists out \nthere that have driven these bad elements from people and their \nhomes. I know of a catholic priest who has performed these rites\nand have helped the poor people that were bothered by them.

I agree with Tina and Shadowpixie... as a Witch I know that when you use something as unreliable as an open portal...well what comes in more often than not, is something you just do not or can not deal with, and unless you are VERY good at cleansing you may have to deal with what you let through for a very VERY long time.

From the reference:\n\nWhen a suspected witch crossed your path, you could make a cross shortcut by crossing your index and second finger or the index fingers of both hands. This would provide protection and ward off the evil influence.

I once used a Voodoo spell to get rid of a stalker ex-boyfriend.  Within one month of working the spell, he moved to another state and stopped calling me.

Wicca Spells - What is Wicca?\nWhat is Wicca and what are Wicca spells? While it is rooted in ancient pagan beliefs, the Wicca religion, as it is practiced now, is only about 50-years-old. Wicca is a belief system cobbled together in the 1940's and 1950's by Gerald Gardner from a variety of religious traditions and beliefs as well as Freemason rituals. Since Gardner published several books espousing his system of worship, many offshoots and variations of Wicca have sprung up. \n\nThere is no particular agreement between Wiccans, or "wise ones" concerning what they believe and worship. Some worship the "Goddess," some worship the "God," and some worship both. Others worship nature. Some Wiccans say they embrace Christian doctrine, while others reject it. Most promoters of Wicca believe in reincarnation. \n\nOne thing most Wiccans agree on is the fact that Satan is not a part of their pantheon and they vehemently deny Satan-worship as one of their practices. This is because they disavow the notion of moral absolutes. There is no such thing as good or evil, because it is all relative. Wiccans have only one law that they bind themselves to, called "The Rede." It simply states, "Do what ye will, harm ye none." In other words: "Do what ever you want to as long as no one gets hurt." The Three-fold Law governs consequences, and is a law of returns that states, "All good that a person does to another returns three-fold in this life; harm is also returned three-fold." \n\nWicca Spells - Mind Control\nWhat about Wicca spells? Not all Wiccans practice witchcraft (which they call "magick" to set themselves apart from illusionists and magicians). Magick is to Wicca what prayer is to Christianity. Wiccans claim that the practice of magick is simply using their minds to control matter, while Christians call upon God to heal people and to intervene and work in their lives. Because the Rede forbids harming others and the Three-fold Law sets forth consequences for those who do, Wiccans view themselves as "white witches" or "nature witches." \n\nWicca is basically a religion that is about minding your own business and living peaceably with your neighbors and environment. Wiccans are eager to draw parallels between themselves and biblical Christianity for the sake of earning credibility, but what does the Bible have to say about this religion? You won't find the word "wicca" in the Bible, so let's evaluate the beliefs in light of what God says about them. \n\nWicca spells are idolism - Romans 1:25 says, "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things, rather than the Creator…" Who wants to settle for second best? In Isaiah 40, God paints a very cool picture of how much greater the Creator is than His creation. If you are worshipping anything besides the Creator, you are just spinning your wheels.\n\n\nWicca spells bring false hope - Hebrews 9:27 says, "…Man is destined to die once, after that, to face judgment." God says we get one chance at life, and that is it. There are no do-overs. If we don't accept God's gift of Jesus in our lifetime, He judges us as unwilling to be in His presence, and we are sent to Hell. \n\n\nWicca spells bring disillusionment - Mark 7:8 says, "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men". God is God, and we are not. We have a decision to make. Are we going to take God at His word and adopt His worldview, or not? Knowing God is hard work that takes a lot of discipline. Wicca is a religion that takes a pack of lies, ties it in a romantic ribbon, and searches out a well-intentioned, but lazy and gullible mark to sell its hollow doctrines.\n\n\nWicca spells bring rebellion - Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says, "Let no one be found among you who… practices divination or sorcery, interpre

Christian Witches don't exist. The beliefs of a Christian and that of a Wiccan/Witch are not compatible. It is impossible to be both. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you.

LOL.  Wow, hon, you are on a roll!\n\nI am a Wiccan High Priestess which is a witch.  That's sort of the real thing, isn't it? \n\n1) true - it is, indeed, a religion (Wicca)\n2) you can practice witchcraft without practicing the religion --- to be more accurate you practice thaumaturgical magic which is natural rather than ritual/worship magic\n3) not evil (but I can be kinda ornery)and there are dark witches who can be very nasty\n4) the broom (we call them besoms) represents several things, not the least of which is astral travel.  They are used as a tool to sweep areas clean and are associated with the element of air.\n\nObviously, I do not have any problems with Witches.  I am a theurigical practitioner (not religious), a retired (legal in most of the USA) minister of Wicca (didn't continue because it would be inappropriate to continue since I am a secularist by faith).\n\nBy the way, the end probably isn't that close.  Of course, for a good time one must always live as if it were, right?

Demonic possession is extremely rare.  Most cases of assumed possession is really severe mental disorders, or self hypnosis.  That is why (if you are catholic) if you say someone is possessed they send out a priest to perform tests and to see if the afflicted meet certain criteria for possession.  There must be very specific happenings and unexplained occurences that are dictated by the Catholic Church.  \n\nPersonally I do not believe in Demons or the Devil or their existance, they do not exist in my religion.  So if someone is "possessed" in my religion then it is a case of bad karma and unbalanced energies.

The Craft draws its strength from the diversity of Nature itself; indeed it rejoices in diversity. Your views and interests are just as valid as anyone else's, and we hope that you too will help to push back the artificial barriers that surround many religious dogmas.\n     As we will mention several times on this website, \nWitches are not Satanists. The negativity in that offshoot of Christianity is not for harmonious thinkers such as Witches."

In order to be affected by any superstition, including religion, you have to believe in it. If some witch doctor placed a curse on you, nothing would happen unless you believe he has power over you. Religion works the same way. If they can't control you they call you a heretic or blasphemer and would love to dispatch you to the hereafter if the law still permitted it.

What 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, they are called to account f
