I am what you call a white witch...I study witchcraft and I am into wicca - the Goddess religion. I do spells at times and they all work good for me.. I never do harm with my practice for I believe in Karma. Do you know any witches?And do you believe in what they can do? I'd love to hear your opinion on this.

I know several. Technically I guess I'm one as well ( though I keep it under my hat ). I live in th bible belt so we tend to get preached at if we go public.

I don't mind other people knowing I am a Witch. Even if I don't tell them they declare that I look and act like one..They said because I always wear black and have this pentagram hanging on my neck.

That could easily just be goth and not a religious preference. Odviously you've never had a bible thumper get into your face and declare your going to hell.

No I guess not but I am old enough to know the difference between a witch and goth...I do dress gothic at times but witchcraft runs in the family...Blessed be.

The witches Rede, Do as you will but harm to none, is what I practice. I am rather inclined into divination rather than loud noises and sudden appearance kind of magic. The vision of the sightless eye, which can cast me toward the future and reveal to me the portends of what lies ahead is very important to me. The third eye is the most important chakra for me. I practice with it everyday. I am not saying I don't know other spells. I am good with suggestive spells, protective spells, and goodwill charms. But I am rather weak in healing magic.

I personally dont follow the Wiccan Rede since its a modern day thing and really for me PERSONALLY isnt logical..I do things similar to the way they would have been done centuries ago and concentrate on health and home and if that means I need to lets say bind someone (just as an example) then I will and I wont ask their permission because I dont feel I need it..protecting my family and my home over-rides everything and everyone....If someone brings harm to me or mine to such a degree that I feel they need to be "taught a lesson" then I most certainly will go ahead and do that......Like I said in an earlier post though I dont believe in White/Black or Righthand/Lefthand etc....the Rede falls under "White" as well as "Wicca" and I have no part of either since I'm not Wiccan nor do i see what I do, live, believe to be black and white...LOL of course nothign in my life is black and white I'm just a rainbow of colour :-D

I do spells and read tarots and runes and Astrology as well...I practice the rede as well...I don't want any harm to come tome...I do more about the lucky charms,good luck spells,protection spells, and other spells to help other people in a good way. I also have a 3rd eye but I don't want that power..Honestly speaking I see ghost and I don't like it so I try to persuade myself not to use it..I know different chakras and divination as well. Blessed be...

I believe in witches, spells and magic, but I don't really practice it myself. Although I would love to give it a try... I don't really know where to start. I need to find an easy to follow book that tells me the history, and other information plus stuff on how to get started etc.

Yes you have to study first and know what you are going into before you try out any spells...It really needs more learning to get there. Thanks for the comment.

I am a Christian and of course I have always been taught to stay away from anything like witchcraft. However, once I became an adult I spread my wings and checked out all kinds of different religions and cultures. I met several Wiccans and after studying some about them, I must say I probably agree with what they do more so than what the Christians do. My new daughter-in-law is Wiccan and she I talk discuss it all the time. I ran into some things on the internet about self help through manifestation and other stuff, which in my opinion is a lot like Wiccan. The "Secret" is Wiccan based and is one of the most awesome things I have seen in my life. So you keep on with your good witchcraft and Wiccan it is all good!

Thanks for the response sorry for responding sooo late. :) people should really give an open mind about things..It doesn't mean that when we say witchcraft it's bad..Some practice good witchcraft and some even help people in the process. Thanks for the nice words. It is well appreciated. Blessed be.

I believe that a spell can do harm or good to whoever casts it or is the recipient of it. I believe in the substance of intentions basically. I know one witch, not sure if she is a white witch or not. She seems like a nice person despite having a lot of crap dealt to her in life.

Thanks for the comment..Yes spells can do either harm or good to whoever they cast the spell to..so learning before doing is the best so the magic won't bounce back to us.

There is nothing wrong with Vodou either, another thing I practice....it, much like Witchcraft, Wicca, Hoodoo, Santeria and Satanism actually etc etc etc is a VERY misunderstood religion....Vodou isnt bad at all in fact its quite beautiful really

I don't consider voodoo bad either.There are some people who practice the voodoo and witchcraft in a bad way but not all of it...I practice some voodoo in a good way as well. Maybe you just think voodoo is bad because of some movies or shows that makes it look bad.

i am a Witch but I dont believe in "white" or "black" when it comes to magick..magick just IS...it has no colour for me...I am a firm believer in Karma (due to my Buddhist beliefs) BUT that doesnt mean I dont take care of what needs to be taken care of should the event arise...however I'm not Wiccan so the Rede means nothing to me really....So yes I know Witches, I am one, as well as numerous family members who vary from Witches of the old school like myself to modern day Wiccans to even Catholic Wiccans actually.. do I believe in what I do...of course and its not something spectacular or supernatural as so many would like to believe...spellcasting is really no different to praying in the Christian community its just done with different methods..the basic idea and purpose is the same though...

Ok, first off let me say that I love "Charmed"!! I can't really say whether or not I actually believe in "witches" though. I think it would be wonderful to be one, but is it really possible?

Wow! I really admire you for being so honest about what you do and some individual who excercise this hide in thier closet not to be recognize at all. I believe that spells and magic if really have no intention of doing harm to individual is a good practice. I love to read books about spells actually I have one I bought it many years ago but I really have no time to try it because I was been so busy with work and with my higher studies, but given the chance to do so I will try it.

Thanks Maribel! I don't want to hide in the closet..When people ask me I say yes I am a witch...Casting spells take practice and it won't work if you don't believe...Hope you can read your book someday it might prove helpful..Blessed be.

I most definately do NOT believe in that sort of thing. The Bible warns us to stay away from it. Only God can give us the peace and joy that we all are seeking. Satan is so deceiving! Don't let him deceive you. God loves you so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for you on the cross. Jesus is the only way we can be saved from our sins. We so need Him!

Thanks for the comment but all religions have their bad and good ways...I know some people in your religion who do something bad..Where they taught by God to be that way? Nah I don't think so...Satan works and goes everywhere and tries to lure people into doing something bad...If what we are doing is not bad is Satan still the one telling us to do good? In the Bible God said He who have no sin cast the first stone..Haven't Satan deceived you one way or the other that you judge us like this? I still believe in God and I don't think Satan is with me when I practice witchcraft..Blessed be...

Hello there p3halliwel, good day to you.. just out of curiosity, what kind of spells that works good for you, if you don't mind sharing? For instance, can you give me an opinion on why sometimes a lot of people tend to hate someone just by looking at their face? Is it the aura that they project from their face or something, though the person is non-evil at all? Thanks in advance for your response..

I'm not really sure what i believe. I think that there are real witchs and physcics, i just think that this should be left to people who understand what they are doing and are not using magic selfishly or negativly. I would love to know a real witch but i dont. I think it would be really cool to have magical powers.

Learning witchcraft comes from the heart when you want to learn you can find ways. Actually there are loads of books in store about it right now and it is widely open in the internet. I have never seen an albularyo before. I believe they are also the one they call quack doctor...Mostly I think of them as herbalist doctors since they use plants most of the time. I am sorry you lost that prayer she should have memorized it...it might have proven useful for her. I can teach you some when I have time. Thanks!
