What makes you believe in witchcraft, and why you believe in it? I have seen mane people who believe in spirits, spells etc etc... And even invoke these "spirits". To me this is none sense but to some seems to be a very different world. Have you had any experience with witches, witchery etc?

Ah, So this is part of your religion too? I am a bit confused here.

sooooort of. it's more that it's a family tradition rather than a religion. rather like, if you grow up in a household where people are good cooks, and teach you to cook as you are growing up, you will be most likely a good cook. my family has a tradition of Witchcraft. I wouldn't say it's religious, although I was raised Pagan, each person that has followed that way has their own take on the religious side of it. the spirit is our individual responsibility to explore and develop. so while I was raised in the context of a Pagan background and festivals, the deeper aspects of spirituality weren't handed down on a plate. which is how when you look at what I believe and what my mum believes, there's similarities, but I believe in Gods and she doesn't. Witchcraft itself isn't a religion. it's a craft. anyone of any religion or none at all is capable of practicing Witchcraft. if you look at things like catholicism, it's full of it, although many wouldn't want to describe what they do as such, the practices are definitely a form of folk magic. when you work with Magic though, a lot of what I've experienced, energy wise, fits with the more spiritual side of myself. but it's not about religion.

Ah! I see, I once knew a girl who was a Wiccan, which I believe that is considered a religion. Despite of all, it is good to know people like you I always learn new things here. Thank you very much!

I have a question for you before I answer your question. Do you believe in angels and miracles? If no, you have the right to doubt witchcraft. But if yes, you have no other option other than believing in witchcraft! If you believe in daylight, you got to believe in night too. Ain't i right? My personal thought is that they have support from the fallen angels and thus are able to call the spirits which are again the fallen angels in disguise! That is my thinking I mean my Christian thinking!

Hello! I don´t believe in Angels or miracles at all. Sorry to disappoint you. I don´t believe in day since its part of hearths rotation, I have a very scientific way to see things and I based everything on science and I believe everything has an explanation. I also don´t believe in witchcraft and I don´t believe that casting a spell can do things to a person. I do however respect everyone's opinions and just love to hear what people think on these sort of subjects. Thank you for your kind response.
