Does witchcraft really work?

witchcraft is real,but it is connected to the devine source.mainly what i am coming across here is the God or the Goddess.when you said that you know someone that did a spell on another woman and made her hair grow faster???i dont think they really did.if there is a way than that is of some other witchcraft.i practice witchcraft,and contact the dieties of my choice.and i do spells also.but it is not spells used to hurt people or bring what you want.it is spells to gain the knowledge of the God or the Goddess.the spells are used to get closer to the God or Goddess.as well to help our own personnel lives through them.witchcraft is not what people think that it is.it is a way of life.to learn how to walk the path of the old ones.to follow the God or the Goddess that the practitioner desires.witchcraft comes from the heart,the soul,and the mind and body.we have energies that are created to send out the spell into the universe.\nblessed be,\nLordAshka)O(Witch

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

They work, but often the spirits won't cooperate, and they will just spell out rubbish. Also, you need to be able to protect yourself psychicly before attempting to use one. They are great, but they can be dangerous.

Being Wiccan, that is a big YES!  Not only do I believe in magick I have seen it done and done it myself.  Magick is everywhere people just call it by different names, in the bible and other holy books it's called a miracle.

I don't know that there are source books online, I've never seen one.  However there are many sites where you can talk to people, and groups just about everywhere.  You will get better info talking to a person rather than trying to learn from books.  Books give you the basics, they don't give you the depth that you need to actually learn about witchcraft.  If your just looking for spells, their everywhere also.  You can always see if this site helps you out:  http://www.mind-n-magick.com/

Depends on how you define "work".\n\nIf you are looking for something that will fix all your problems, give you power over others, or make you fly around the room, then no, it does not "work".  You can only change yourself, not others.  Spells will not make someone love you or do what you want.\n\nIf you're looking for something that can give you a sense of place in the world around you, and help you define yourself, your relationships, and the world around you, then it might be a good fit. \n\nRemember, spells are not quick fixes, they're designed to assist, not solve your problems for you. For example, if you need protection from someone, it is best to get away from them and go to the police or something then just wait on a spell. You have to take care of yourself as well.  In a scenario like that, you need to take care of yourself and you need to do a spell.  Ask the earth/a diety/something you believe in  for a little metaphyical backup.  Spells work when they prompt you to take an active role in your own life as well as asking for help to change the world around you.  \n\nOf course not every spell works right away or in the way we would like, just like not every prayer is answered the way we want it to.  If you're new to spells, it is best to work with someone who has done them before.  Working out a book is ok, but you really just need to find your own flavor of spellwork.  If you have any Wiccan or Neo-pagan friends, ask them to help you.

ok here's the low-down. spells that help people or dont do harm are usually in the white magic catagory. spells that harm people or are done with the intention of doing someone wrong are in the dark magic. black magic is that sort of thing that uses blood and is in the realm of Satanic worship/magic. this is part personal experience (not the satanic stuff...) and part listening to others. that pretty much covers the magic except that in the wiccan world  "love spells/potions" are illegal and those that make them are looked down on. as for the BIBLE's take on magic... it is the work of the devil is not accurate. "witchcraft" (in the biblical sense) is the work of the devil because it came from the main power other than God. this would be the Devil. so anyways God's work can be done by anyone. this means that what looks to be magic, say healing the lame (i mean the kind who cant walk, sheesh people!!) can actually be from someone other than the devil. still it's not good to get into that kind thing so i hope i have satisfied your curiosity enough that you do not need to delve deeper into that world. if you have any other questions send me a messege telling me about it so i can try and help and maybe even get some points in the process. *yay points!!* \nBryan

first of all magic IS REAL. for instant gradification you would have to be very into this and even then there is no RIGHT NOW spells.  all spells take time to work some even years but i have worked many spells with out the aid of insence, herbs, candles and so on they just help make a spell stronger.  for ANY spell to work though you MUST BELIEVE. if your just wanting to see it work it won't.  spell casting is very involved magic circle and cleansing and meditaion.

One time on a camping trip, a witch and I created a psychic link which allowed us to keep tabs on each other without needing those family band radios.\n\nPersonally, I 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 tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nI have never heard anyone say, "I really shouldn't have trusted my gut instincts."

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.

I've been doing witchcraft longer than I can remember and I have to tell you that spells and charms are worthless unless you do something about your life.  \n\nI know it seems harsh but we all have to learn it at some point.  Happiness will only come to you when you look for it and act to make things that you want to happen, happen.

will this really work?

Yes spells work.\n\nHere are some more questions and answers about Wicca.\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

YES!!! I belive in all of it\n\nTo those that have answered....I have quoted and responded to your words....\n\n"Much of this stuff dos indeed exist--but as a true Christina I stay clear pof such demonic stuff. "\n Ghosts, Magic, witches, wizards etc are NOT DEMONIC stuff! Ghosts are our astral form if you will, and is not concidered any form of the devil! Second, MAGIC is everywhere, Christians call it a Miracle! You can not deny MAGIC if so would be denying GOD! (I reference to God because he said he was a TRUE CHRISTIAN)\n\n"As entertaining as it looks, no. You have to believe in one or the other - God or the devil. "\nUm, WHAT?! Read explanation above! \nWitches are not Devil Worshipers in the first place (and devil worshipers dont always do EVIL! I have a friend who is and has never done harm to anything!) Wizards are a form of Witch but not exactly. A male and female can be called a witch. I do not know about wizards for I have not read up on them as much!\n\n"ghosts: most fall into one of a few categories, ie residual or one that is like a video loop that is replayed from time to time....there \nis no, and can be no interaction with it, it is just a moment in time that reappears....poltergeist: this is a nasty one that gets physical\nwith victims; typical "haunt": an entity with some form, perhaps\nthe visual of someone who hasn't crossed over\nmagic: depends on your definition....magic, miracles happen daily\nthey're just small and only noticeable to those that they happen\nfor/to..\nwitches: are we talking Wicca...the religion of nature?...or are\nwe talking hollywood?\nwizards: usually had more to do with alchemy and chemistry than\nmagic..... "\nHe has the better view out of anyone that I have read thus far. I give you much kuddos! Thanks for helping me explain what I wanted to say!

Yes there are witches and wizards,only these days they call them Wiccans.These are people who use a specific form of witchcraft, with particular ritual forms, involving the casting of spells, herbalism, divination and other forms of magic. Wiccan ethics require that magical activities are limited to good purposes only.

Your description of "witch craft" here is not the way we do it in California.  We know that whatever we do to others comes back to us threefold.  Therefore, it is clearly in our best interests to do good with any magic we may have, rather than harm.  But it is a common practice among many peoples to use the threat of being able to do evil magic on you as a way to gain the cooperation of those a person would use.  Such practice has often been referred to as "magic" or "witchcraft," but that is not the western world Neopagan style of witchcraft or Wicca.\n\nAs I say, what comes back is three-fold.  If you harm another, that three-fold increase could be enough to make you in mortal peril.  It is clearly not in one's karmic best-interests, if you will, to go around hurting others, especially unnecessarily.\n\nSo, an ye harm none, do what thou will.  But be darn sure you are prepared to face all the consequences, intended and unintended, to what you decide to do.  What thou will is nowhere near the same as what thou whim, my dears!
