Witch?

Witches are great entertainment for tv and movies but are they real? Is magic real? I think not. The last I heard scientists determined that due to the real damp conditions at the time of the Salem witch trials the grain they grew acquired a fungus on it. Eating this fungus when they ate the grain caused some people to hallucinate. At that time in history, when people did not understand something, they blamed it on the devil and witches. The sad truth is that due to ignorance, many innocent people were indeed killed.

Well, I consider myself 'good' and I am what you might call a 'witch'. I'm not big on religion or faith but, if I were to describe my own beliefs, I describe myself as an Eclectic Witch or Eclectic Pagan. It is ironic that we're referred to as devil worshippers when we don't believe in the devil, or that we're considered evil when our main mantra is 'harm none'. The problem, I find, with the way people feel about witches and witchcraft is often a matter of misinterpretation misinformation (often deliberate, especially at the time of early Christianity in medieval England). There are 'bad' witches just as there are 'bad' people who claim to be of other faiths but, just as with other faiths, most of perfectly good people. Some witches believe in the same god as the Christian God (I've known a few Christian witches), while others believe in one or more Pagan gods/goddesses and this (along with nature) is where power is drawn. Spell-casting is, for example, for all intents and purposes, the same as praying. The only real difference is that sometimes witches use different tools and the 'wish' is presented to a different deity. If you'd like to know anything more, you can always ask. I really love learning about other religions and faiths and I think it's rather sad that being of one faith puts people off learning about others. There is no need to be scared. There isn't really anything scary about witchcraft. Of course, if you are set in your faith, you wouldn't perform the rituals or practices but there is no harm in learning about them.

You need to have deep faith in GOD before going at it deeper because you may end up being persuaded by it. There's nothing wrong about getting to know it as long as you know when to draw the line and stop.

I don't live too far from Salem. lol I have an acquaintance who claims to be a good witch.

I'm actually learning about witchcraft now. I've done spells and rituals before. I've always been a bit witchy deep down, and I've recently admitted I'm going to be a 'witch' to my family. My girlfriend is a Wiccan, she's taught me a lot as well. It's truly interesting. Many people have a negative opinion on "witches" due to Hollywood..but it truly has been an amazing experience so far! Glad you know we're real!

I was hooked to Charmed for a while, until I read about how the three main actresses in that series bickering with each other in real life, that turned me off.

Good witches are ok and that is the only kind of witches that I like.

we have a DVD movie about that old horror film titled "Salem's Lot". i think this new film about Salem is the same as that onld film that we have here.
