Is anyone here a white witch?
I know a lot of people on here don’t believe in the stuff and that is ok. Well I bought this book and I think I wasted my money because in one paragraph about spells it said
“A spell should not interefere with another person’s freedom of wil, e.g. any form of magic which would make one person fall in love with another. However, this also includes not working spells which might appear beneficial, for example to make someone stop smoking. Although there is no doubt that this would be a good thing, you still should not do it without their consent. One way round this would be to create a form of spell which they can choose to use or not;an empowered candle or taliman perhaps”.
Why is it some wiccans do love spells and others think its bad?
Is this book a waste of time and money, because the “should not” like saying it is bad to do something. Are the ways of spells done in it worth a look at? Im not sure because not particually keen on the idea using a book which says its bad to do stuff. like being sinful.

Thanks for replying, I get embarrassed being that sort of stuff but I want to take it back, bought it today.
Why do you think it was a waste of money particularly and what is a good book to get?
You don’t have to be a witch to know that interfering with someone’s free will is bad. How would you like it if someone used a spell to make you do something you didn’t want to do?

Agreed. And although im not entirely wiccan, nor am I anything else, I really only like wicca for the nature aspect.
yeah but what goes past a person’s free will untill it is bad? Would asking to ask a friend to contact me sinful? why?

You have to use your common sense and instincts. Asking isnt bad, and it they consent, wheres the harm? Unless theres a third party involved, or it affects other things negatively.

This whole witchcraft thing confuses me to be honest. I just don’t want to read something which says it’s sinful to do stuff because I don’t believe in that.
im a white witch and im going to cast a spell on all of you mu ha ha ha
I was once Wiccan. I was involved in White magic, black magic, and some others. It didn’t really work, but I think there might be a long procedure you have to do (and I was in the process of doing) to charge the magic and become, officially, involved and for it to work.
I think White magic is good because you can do spells on yourself for personal appearance, love, etc.
I’m not 100% sure I believe in it. Looking back, I do…and getting involved seemed to have caused me bad luck for saying I didn’t believe in it once.
“getting involved seemed to have caused me bad luck for saying I didn’t believe in it once.” Why do you think that?

And like I said, im not really wiccan or anything. I just feel the most connected to wicca b/c of the love of nature. Im not really into the whole casting spell thing.
What is the definition of magic?
About 2 weeks ago I said “I don’t believe in it” and I started having a series of bad events happening to me. Just small things. The computer acting up, tripping over things, car not starting…all in one day. Right after I said that.
I’m not one to believe in suspicious things. But that really had me when that happened.
I would say stuff like that happens to everyone. This whole witchcraft thing scares me and freaks me out abit. I don’t believe it should be something to be scared of, and I don’t believe in sins and doing wrong. I don’t like this book I got. I feel like I wasted money and It was embarrassing enough buying it and returning it is another thing…
You should fear it if it gets in the wrong hands and black magic ensues. Then you have a major problem.
wrong hands and black magic ensues? whats that?
Nothing to fear, it can harm only those who have destructive thoughts within themselves.
I guess. I don’t think I found a very good book. My friend is a wiccan, I might give it to her as a late birthday present and she let me use a book for years (kept forgetting to return it). Could use it as a reason to give it to her, plus Id add the honesty to it. She also belives in if someone wishes for something bad for somebody, than it will go back on them three times. I don’t believe in this either. I think a lot of people don’t seem to have healthy views. Perception comes into it.
I wouldn’t worry about books. You can read up on it all on the Internet.
Yeah I looked on there. I feel very bewildered, all different peoples views on it are confusing me.
That’s true too. I don’t think there is really a straight way you could go with that. It’s like any other religion or belief, really. No one knows for sure and there’s a ton of people who think they know exactly what they are talking about with it…
I think that’s why a lot of people turned agnostic…

yeah, It’s like peoples views are really important and it all should be done their way. Maybe that’s what ofput me from using the book. It hasn’t been very open to other peoples beliefs and values.
Well, I’m not a witch and I don’t know a whole lot about it, though I do have a lot of respect for wicca and I’d be interested in learning more about it… I do like the belief of not harming anyone or anything, and their respect for nature.
I wish I knew more about this…
What if you cast a spell asking that someone contact you IF they truly would like to speak to you again? :) (then it’s not against their will?)
I can’t say I believe much in spells and stuff, but I guess just performing certain rituals can be meaningful emotionally and create some positive thinking within ourselves… like the act of letting something go… you can use a ritual and burn up old letters and memories, and that has sort of a spiritual effect on a person!
I’d say find another book if you’re not really liking this one… find one that you “click” with.
At risk of getting bashed in the head, I don’t believe in witchcraft and if I did I would not practice it because based on my own personal spiritual belief it is a sin.
Found this on the internet:
Spells are one of many ritual activities that many Wiccans engage in. Not all Wiccans cast spells; they are a matter of personal preference.
Spells can be designed to attempt to either harm or help others. Thus, there are both evil spells and healing spells. The same magickal processes are used for both.
Wiccans are prohibited by their belief system from engaging in spells or other activities which harm others. This is a logical result of Wiccans’ belief in the three-fold law, and their commitment to follow the Wiccan Rede — their prime rule of behavior…
Christians sometimes pray to their God with the intent of obtaining God’s help to change their life or to heal friends and family. Some light a prayer candle in their home or church. Such rituals have many parallels with Wiccan spells. What some Christians call prayers, Wiccans may call magickal spells.
Followers of other religions also cast spells. “Not all witches cast spells, and not all spells are cast by witches. There are many magical religions out there, wicca being one of them.” 3 Most Satanists, for example, cast spells. Their rules of behavior are different from the Wiccan Rede, since Satanism is a separate religion from Wicca. Satanists are not prohibited from casting evil spells on their enemies.
Allowable spells:
Wiccans are prohibited from doing harm to others. This is generally interpreted as forbidding any spell that seeks to dominate, manipulate or control another person without their expressed wishes. Consider a love spell as one example:
A Wiccan could design a spell to make a specific person fall in love with her/him. That would be a negative spell, because its intent, goal and effect would be manipulative — to control the other person for the benefit of the spell caster. A Wiccan cannot ethically perform such a spell. 10
A Wiccan could design a general spell to make a specific person more open to love in their life. That again is excessively manipulative. The target person could be trying to avoid romantic relationships at this stage in their life, for whatever reason. However, this type of spell might be allowable, if the Wiccan first obtained the permission of the target of the spell.
A Wiccan who is desirous of starting a romantic relationship could cast a spell to make themselves more open to love in their life. That would not manipulate anyone else; it would not harm others; it would not harm the spell caster. 4,8 It would be acceptable under the Wiccan Rede.
Before performing a spell, Wiccans carefully think through all the possible repercussions of a spell to make certain that it does not have a manipulative component. Wiccans believe that spells alter the course of the universe and are not to be entered lightly without thoroughly considering all of its possible effects.
That was an interesting read Cattail, I haven’t really studied it much in the bible, but doesn’t the bible speak against witchcraft? Well, I guess I am just going to have to look it up and see exactly what it says, unless of course someone else can shout me the particular scripture I’m thinking of, lol
why would the bible speak against witchcraft?

yeah, it took me a while to find a book but then after reading through this one I found it didn’t quite suit me! I guess I just don’t want to waste money. Also I get embarrassed about buying it. Would people be judging. Maybe I will give this book to my friend and spend more time looking through the books to find one which suits me :)

I can’t really answer that without refreshing my own memory. When I study today, I’ll look it up.

I found one scripture in the Bible so far that speaks about witchcraft, I know there are others, just going to take some time to study for myself, but here is the one.
1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

Sarcasm
Geez, I totally missed that and I love sarcasm.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, now I get it and feeling ohhhhhhh so not bright. How in the world did I miss something so freaking obvious!?!?!
Its not really ‘wrong’. BUT…its just plain common sense. Its not good to do a love spell because witchcraft is about nature and they way things should be.
Making someone fall in love with someone is not natural if they haven’t done it themselves.
Its just like, manners really i guess.
