We don't BELIEVE in Satan so how can you worship something you don't believe in?  We also don't believe in hell or anything like that.  Satan, as Christians know the being, comes from Set, the Egyptian god of the Dead, nothing to do with us.

Wicca is a religion that is based on Nature and its elements.  Its polytheistic, that means they have many Gods and Goddesses.  Wiccans are both male and female.  They are practicioners of Wicca.  Not all Wiccans practice magick, but many do refer to themselves as Witches.

That's weired. I just met a wiccan. I didn't know you guys existed until he mentioned that he was one. He's located here in Houston,Texas. I'd send you a pic of him but he never stands still so they're all blurry! lol

Magic that magicians do is slight of hand or illusions.\nMagic(k) as is what witches do--is like asking if there is a God. Depends who you ask--some people are believers others are not.

Do a lot of reading. "A Witch Alone" by Marion Greene might be a good start for you.  Buckland's "Big Blue Book" of Witchcraft might be another book you'd find useful.\n\nThere are also tons of sites online relating to witchcraft. http://www.witchvox.com comes immediately to mind.\n\nNot all witches are the same - while we all use magic, there are wide differences in philosophical, ethical, and religious aspects depending on the path we follow.  How someone who practices Voudon will look at witchcraft a lot differently than someone who practices Wicca, and both will look at witchcraft differently than someone who practices Thelema, for example.

A good, non-partisan intro to Wicca:\nhttp://wicca.timerift.net/index.html\n\nSome differences between Traditionalist Wicca and Traditionalist Witchcraft:\nhttp://www.traditionalwitchcraft.com/HSDwitchFAQ.html#q1.3\n\nOverview of witchcraft in general:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchcraft\n\nJim Jones:\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org/dc_jones.htm\n\nAnd I assume you mean Idi Amin, rather than Adi Amin:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idi_Amin

Oh, don't listen to those nay-sayers....OF COURSE witches are real!!!\n\nGo to the bookstore and check out the New Age section.  There is every book imaginable that deals with Witches, Wiccan, Witchcraft, etc....\n\nAlso try to find metaphysical and/or new age stores in your area.  Lots of times they hold classes or at least know where you could go for more help in learning.\n\nBlessed Be!

Learn what you choose. If it doesn't feel right then, don't do it. People are all different. What feels OK to some isn't so to others. The main thing to remember in anything you do, harm you do to others, can come back against you in one way or another. Wicca and black magic are not the same thing, no matter what christians may think. White, black or grey magic is all the same energy. It's how you direct and use that energy, and your will, that determines how you would view the "magic".

To those that are saying that males aren't called witches, you are wrong.  In Wicca males and females alike are called witches, very few use the term wizard.  Second, from the perspective of being Wiccan the bible has magick and spells in it as well, most just call them prayers and miracles is all.  They are the same thing.

Yes, I'm also a witch- have been for 20 years now. I'm a very normal person with a very normal family and job- my religion is just another part of my life. I do cast spells, but not in a Harry Potter way. It's more to do with attempting to influence what will be. You have to have a jolly good reason for doing it- and positive intentions at heart or you've no chance of it working (and if your intention is to bring about a negative outcome then you've no business trying!). My spells have mostly been successful.  Look in the Mind, Body, Spirit section of any good bookshop (Waterstones, Borders etc) and you'll find a host of reputable books about witchcraft for beginners.

Do you think they would learn the difference between "witch" and "which" without help? I don't think so.

My former roommate is wiccan and she was the coolest. From the few times  ever really listened to her ramble abt wiccanism, it sounded a whole lot better than christianity. Wiccans believe in protecting the environment,not judging people and enlightening people about their religion/beliefs.She always did that and unlike the christians,didn't ram her beliefs down my throat every chance I gave her. \n\nMAYBE I SHOULD TRY IT OUT. I'M LOOKING FOR A NEW CHURCH.SOME CHRISTIANS BRING SHAME TO GOD,I INCLUDED

I became Wiccan in search of the balance of nature and the restoration of the divine feminine.\n\nI believe in Gods and goddesses because I believe that Nature is a balance between receptive and projective forces that can be described and masculine and feminine energy. Within that balance lies all the elements of nature.  \n\nI have been Wiccan for 8 years.  \n\nThe name Wicca comes from the ancient word Wicce meaning Wise Ones.  We don't feel the need to change it because others are ignorant.

Wicca, i believe in the energy of all things are connected. there is more to this world than you can see. you worship where you are as you are. harm none. i celebrate the seasons and moon and sun phases as the important celestial events they are. i believe in magic, fairies, and all sorts of magical folk. i don't wonder how the world was created, how do i prove it and what will it change if i know? i believe in a god and goddess. i don't believe in trashing other religions because my god by any other name is still my god. others may not see it this way, but i believe my god is their god, they just refuse to acknowledge the female counterpart.\nI'm getting long winded, that's a start.

Yes, to both.  Magick is a powerful tool that is not without repercussion, either good or bad, so you use it wisely and cautiously.
