What is a "real witch" in your defination?

I loathe the term "witch."

People dont use it appropriately.

Listen to me. Magick is real....black magic is terrible, and it does come back on the sender, always....always, energy is energy, it can not be created nor destroyed, just captured and once negative energy is captured and sent out, it will never truely leave it's sender.

Do not even consider sending out negativity.

White magick should not be messed with either, "spells" are trickey and require experience.

Listen to me again...white magick should NEVER be done for oneself! It should only be done by an experienced practitioner and ONLY for another and ONLY if the other gives consent.

Tread these waters carefully....please

It just came out when I was writing it. I wasn't sure if I should leave it, it kinda of sounded weird.

I do not loathe the term witch because it is a true term and much of the knowledge about witches in the past, example in the Salem trials - and 1400's to 1600's, they where quite knowledgeable about them, it was information they had aquired over many generations. Unlike in todays society we dismiss any real knowledge and laugh at basically anything that doesn't fit into this faced past society ruled by advertising and companies.

You both (Randall and Hippichick) seem so sure about what you are saying; especially Hippichick you seem to be speaking from experience.

But there are people who practise different forms of magic like many African practices (which won't even divulge the name of their practice) who are very powerful and successful - which I experienced first hand and it is totally not in a person's imagination. They literally deal with spirits. And they have hidden knowledge of life, nature.

So I am curious can you explain more why you have these strong beliefs? Do you have any proof maybe?

I have been called a "witch" for ever...

I am a bit strange, I will give folks that, and there is such negative imagery with the word that I just dont like it being thrown around for the sake of not having something else to use.

An Aqua male once told me "I think you are a witch but a natural one..." Yes, I agreed with that statement.

I have a very dear friend who is a Wiccan, they call themselves "witches"...but I so, so disagree with their religion. For sakes, it is such a baby religion and they are so gun ho on it....

I am quite "pagan" at heart for no other words to describe me...witch, perhaps...but like I said, there is so much negativity with the word, I only go there with a few blessed friends who understand, and who are called the same.

Now, if you are really interested in the subject, reserch. Scott Cunningham is a good author to start with.

Magick is only energy, that is why I say it is real....it is captured energy. IF one wants to say I am a witch for lighting a, say, white candle, place some genuinely loved and grwon herbs and flowers at the base and think of a person I am "blessing" then so be it.

Black magic is bad...just look around.

I, personally have never experienced the thing, but have known people that have tried it...never ever any good comes from it. And the negativity never leaves the one who conjures it.

And I am so against any form of magick for thyself...it keeps any energy captured around oneself and I think that is selfish...Good will come to those who do good, without the need of "magick."

The Salem Witch Trials, were in my opinion, 17th century propaganda. None of those ladies and a few men, where "witches" as popular media would have one think.

Now if they were called witches cause they had a special power for healing, grew herbs to do with, etc. then the society's bad...

And this is why I have a problem with the word.

IF someone is going to call me a "witch" for growing my herbs, and lighting a candle for someone who requests, or throwing salt after my still at home daughter as she leaves, or using sage smudge to clear energy or the many, many natural and ancient ways some of us choose to use...then so be it, again...

Energy is the key.

I use alot of "witchy" ways in my own life, but not actually spellbinding..

For instance, I have appropriately colored candles, ribbons, etc to "draw" good energy to me and mine, without actually casting a spell for myself, like I said, I am against.

There is nothing wrong with using knowledge (Scott Cunningham speaks of magick of knowledge and emotion alot), in the appropriate ways.

There are certain colors I dont wear, brown is one..too negative for me. There are certain herbs and plants I have around my house, for not only the aesthetic plesing of the senses, but the energy thing too.

I watch the moon phases, and the movement of the planets.

Again..call me a witch?

Ok whatever.... LOL!

I just folks would know what they are saying when they say it.

Definitely true, they were not witches, but their theories on witches were accurate. They had a base or foundation - to bad they didn't research it more or try to really understand.

To me lighting a candle and using herbs does not make you a witch. Many of them who practise these rituals think they are witches but they do not even have the first concept of what it is.

And in this and age I would agree, however, it is such a young religion and the term witch has been around forever...

From what I understand of my Wiccan friends, it is not a case of the religion developing around the term witch, but in the true sense of the word, that describes them the best, but a case of the religion developing around the laws of nature. Relying heavily on The Goddess as the supreme being.

Which (LOL not pun intended ) has nothing to do with the word witch.

It is a very grey area of subject, for sure!

I absolutely agree with you!

I guess I meant it, in more general terms..

we all know it's wrong to kill someone!

we know helping people, is a good thing
to do!

we have a sense of wrong and right!

I totally agree with you frankie2912
well expressed.

Dee have you tried the spell for renters, did it work for you or should I say make a difference?

Is there any other spells you tried with success?

Thanks for the links

Very well put! It's just how do we do this and how do we know it works. I think most people do not really have control but we tune into these energies and they are already set on a path. That is where the difference comes in from an experienced practitioner they can get the desired results and change course.
