Not black magic.

As long it is used only for good I think it's ok. Many people may not agree because they do not understand it and they think magic is evil. Witchcraft is good only as long it is to help and never harm anyone. It is not devil worship. Blessed be.

When I was a kid my mom was into palm reading, later into astrology. I experimented with things,,, much later on I had an experience that some call 'being born again' in the Holy Spirit.
I studied and had experiences over all, to compare the difference between doing magic and doing things in the Holy Spirit.
The difference is that magic is when the person doing it is trying to control things by whatever means used,, while being in the Holy Spirit is letting God have the control.
Now people have done very amazing things through the Power of the Holy Spirit, dead people raised up, healings and deliverances of all kinds. In God all things are possible. We are used by God, called, and when we let God use us 'all things work together for good'.
Some people don't believe in magic, but there is a spirit world, and there are spirit beings, some who are with God and serve Him, and some who are rebellious and deceitful. These spirits do have some power, with God's permission, but they cannot be trusted. So I do believe in magic.
The thing is, that when we believe that God is God, and Loves us, and is all-wise and all-powerful, and that the spirits are lesser beings that are created by God, and that we are limited in what we can do as humans on earth,,,, any time we take control and act outside of God's will it will result in a way that is not as good as it would be if we stayed in God's will. Even if we mean well.
A common magical spell is about making a certain person fall in love with us, and then keeping them. This is controlling though, and does not respect the person we're casting the spell on, nor does it respect what God has in mind for us. I know people who have gotten involved in such, and the relationships were not happy.
This is a subject that a whole book can be written on, but I think I'll stop here, if the basic idea is explained well enough. What we consider 'good' might not , in the long run, be really best. The real best is seen by God from eternity, and it is best to be his children and trust him and his lead.

you have a good ? from the bibles stand point all magic is bad while some claim theirs is a white magic or good magic you need to know that the bible says the source of all magic is the devil and his demons , that being said , the bible also says that the devil is transforming himself into an angel of light , this is why some have "good results" the reason the devil would help some who practice magic is that it encourages them to continue on and as they get deeper usually they turn to black magic when it suits them but even those who don't are still serving satan because the bible says that you will know a tree by its fruit meaning that if i claim to serve God yet am practicing magic which is a work of devil i am proving myself a follower of him and constituting myself a enemy of God, on a practical level you also need to know that its like going to the assistant manager to ask for help when the main manager is more than willing to answer you ,God is the most powerful so why ask a less powerful demon for help ? also you should be aware that once you start practicing magic (like putting out open call) and come into contact with demons if you try to stop they turn on you ,and if you try to serve God they can be dangerous ( from friends personal experience )hope it helps

It is extremely bad, and condemned by the Bible.
Deuteronomy 18 is a good example.
Deu 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
Deu 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
Deu 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Witchcraft is a superstition and a delusion. It is no worse than believing that walking under a ladder brings bad luck. There is no magic, black or white, other than what stage magicians perform.

Witchcraft in and of itself is not good nor evil, it just is. The good or evil is determined by the person trying to focus it. Be wary to keep the balance and not use it for selfish reasons, no matter what you may think your intentions to be.

well.. I don't think it's bad. It's not really 4 me. (I had a few wierd thimgs happen) ok it is alittle. if you think about it there are rituals in wicca, withcraft, paganism, catholism, and other religions. isn't that why some people fast before some holidays? Ash Wensday? Jack-o-Lanterns? Lamb on Easter? Fish on Fridays? I beleive in GOD and hell and Yin/ Yang ( not the rappers) ghost and angels,the power of prayer in some cases, and some of the witchypo stuff. that's just some of what I think. God loves all so it is said & believed. And his son believed that we are not to judge. It his Father who will. Just love each as best as you can. (VERY HARD TO DO)

nope... it's more of a hobby. people were only fed with the idea that it's evil. witchcraft practice involves being one with nature, the wind, the water, fire, earth... i don't find it annoying. it's like saying, is a person who bares skin for a nude painting a disgrace to society? or a mathematician who disproves a certain theory would he be called a heretic? atheists persons, would they be condemned for their belief? so, practicing witchcraft doesn't make one evil, right? the only thing that would make it evil is if it's intentions are used for evil ways, now that's where i'd say it's pratice becomes evil... otherwise, to each his/her own...

As long as it is done for positive results. If you do magic for a negative result towards someone else, it will come back to you 3 times as bad. I think it brings you in touch with nature and your spiritual self.

Witchcraft is only alive due to the Creator of human existance and intrigue and curiousity and the desire to hold POWER over things of the Earth having it come true if He deems it curious or intelligently POWERFUL,or intriguing.ONLY GOD CAN ALLOW SPELLS FULFILLED.The funny thing is.....He does sometimes.And the circle continues to draw itself in........
