[waed89]

now this might seem a bit weird
[glow=red,2,300]Do u believe in sorcery and witchcraft? [/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]are there still witches and stuff like that?! [/glow]
I have this friend and the poor thing is so stunned with these things these days ! it is all what she cud think of and I was like What?! u must be joking! but then I decided I'll dig up sum stuff my self , I have nothing better to do!
imagine that there are sites that say : becoming a witch, spells for love , marriage , money and much more it is so creepy

well there's witch craft and I think it's actually a recognized religion.
But you have it in many shapes and forms, the word witch has been associated with dark, illegal bad stuff in the medieval which came from an illogical fear for anything that is/believes (something) different. While actually real witchcraft, white magic is all about mother earth going back to the basics the use of natural elements, wicca has rules a lot like the 10 commants from God to Mozes, help others with your knowledge etc.. And I think the basic of this religion is as good as others, they worship mother earth, other religions worship God.. Wicca (white magic) is a peaceful religion just like any other religion.
But there came a different form which is dark magic and it's nothing like wicca or basic witchcraft/white magic/wicca..
If anyone knows more about this, I'm really no expert this is just what I rememberd from Tyra Banks' show, she did a show about this, according to most wicca's Charmed was pretty representable with what wicca is about; not the superpowers but the basics, the rules, helping others (not on the saving innocent level but you know what I mean)

this is the official web site for wicca:
www.wicca.org
they even do have a church , and they compare themselves to other religions such as Islam,Judaism, Christianity and Taoism ... chk this out :
www.wicca.org/church/compare.html
there rule in life is this , it is equal to the 10 commandments !
If it harm none , do what you will...
(( so much like the live and let live ;D))
they have other four that follow this rule but they consider this to be the most important of all!
but isn't it like ummmm....Like maybe if I wanted some more money and I can get it some how by using magic and I know I will get it without harming any one or stealing it... say like um gonna generate the money or sth. then I can do it?!
I know that there is still magic , but some people do use it in there life! that girl I was referring to is completely convinced that her aunt casted some sorta spell on her mum!! I was like HUH?
Trying one of those spells on line is so tempting ! If I got bored to the level of trying one I'll let u know how it went ;D
* Noor , can u see what summer vaccation has done to moi ?

I think, that it's personal gain (and ina chain of events leading to you getting that money someone will get hurt in a way) and I don't think that's what they meant but everyone is free to choose their own path how they experience religion and how they apply to rules..
what sort of spell was it?
Anyways the site you shared is interesting and I'll check it out some more later..

I dunno but it seemed like needs justify means! If I can find a way around something in a way that it will harm none then I can do it!
and there was something I didn't like , it was sth. one Wiccan said about other religions being disrespectful of women.... I mean a man of "religion" shud be respectful of all other religions!

[alyssamilanofan]

oke but that's dark witch craft (from your aunt) it doesn't have anything to do with wicca, witchcraft still has a bad name and is found to be weird but it's really no less peaceful than any other religion..
I agree though they said on the site they don't think of their religion as the only right thing so they shouldn't post negative things about other religion.. But some religious people have been disrespectful to women but not all do that (in the same religion I mean)... Anyways it's an interesting topic and I'm curious to found out what the rest of you think

I do not say that what she used had to do anything with wicca I am sure she never ever heard of Wicca ;D and besides she is not my aunt she is my friend's , thank god I have nice aunts and I have nothing against Wicca it is just like it is the 21st century and some people still think of sorcery and magic as a way to run their entire lives , that's all

[harisstavr]

I think that witchcraft survives via Wicca ....

[hekatea]

Wicca comes from the word "wicce" meaning wise. Therefore, in the olden times the witches were the spiritual leaders, councilors, doctors of their community. Today, we have environmentalist wiccans (earth based), the feminist wiccans and so on. It is one of the oldest surviving religions which pre-dated Christianity, Islam, and other organized religions.

I personally don't believe in it. My religion teaches me that anything like that should be of the devil. On a reasl note I think for people doing witchcraft because with out people may not be able to be found just like most people say they use people to find runaways or people kidnapped.
