is witchcraft really exist??? how to learn this knowledge?

Question

powers and magic

Answer 1

When the student is ready the master will appear.

Yes, witchcraft really exists, although it may not be very much like you imagine. The problem with keeping anything secret is that what leaks out is bound to be distorted and misunderstood. Many people believe that witches can set aside the laws of nature; that "magic" means doing things that really are what the illusionists appear to do. No witch or magician I have known has ever claimed that. Magic is going WITH the laws of nature to accomplish one's true will. A witch uses all that she knows of the forces around her to accomplish her goals.

But a word or two of warning: what you do returns to you three-fold. If that is compassion, generosity, love and other good stuff, that's just fine. But the dark forces will also return three-fold. What might injure your enemy, returned three-fold could kill you. Think three times.

Answer 2

It's odd to see all the freaks and geeks come out for questions like these.

Witchcraft does exist. It is a viable form of worship and practice for a "witch", also known as witchery, sorcery, and heathen prayer. It is nothing to be scared of or affraid of. It is simply prayers preformed in a different kind of way than Christian , Islamic, or Jewish manners. That is why it is contained within the term..."nontraditional".

Witchcraft is the act of preforming ritualized spells. And again, all spells are are different forms of prayers.

Many things can happen when one studies witchcraft. Anything the mind can master can be applied to the physical world. It can even be said that that the same principles of Hindu mystics and gurus can be applied in descriptions of Witches.

If you are serious in learning witchcraft, I suggesst reading everything you can get your hands on about the topic first. Every book has some modicum of truth behind it in one way or another. It is afterall the authors version of their truths. The thing I would say is to look out for people and groups that think they know everything and tell you what you want to know. Religion, spirituality and lifeheld philosophies have the ability to be misused and misinterpreted. Always lead the way with your own opinions and knowledge, if others can assist you to facilitate your own learning...well that's great, but never ever trust them blindly.

Magic is magic, there is no other spelling that makes it more "special". Just because you spell it magick does not define it as ritual magic, it merely defines you the writer as a dork that has no concept of what it is you are doing.

Magic has no color. It is not black magic, it is not white magic, red-green-blue-yellow magic. None of that exists. Always think with an open mind, if you need a spectrum of rainbow arrays to color code your ambitions, then you will only get confused in the long run.

There are different traditions and sects of witchcraft. One must always be aware of the differing ideals associated with these differing groups. Please do not fall under the false idea that Wicca is the only practiced magics. Wicca is maybe the only recognized and orthodox (meaning organized) path, but by no means is it the only path to enlightenment.

Answer 3

Some good answers here already. Witchcraft isn't like Harry Potter where you wave magic wands or brew potions. It's actually a religion to some, a way of life to others, and a dedicated path to others. It takes a lot of hard work, dedicated study, patience, practice and open-mindedness. It's not a means to obtain "power". Power is when you turn on the light switch or your computer.

Do some research into Wicca, including and especially the Wicca Redes. In particular, observe the one that states "If you harm none, do as you will". It's an integral part of witchcraft and the practice thereof.

Answer 4

Yes, it really exists. But witchcraft is a religion and not one that centers around magickal powers and spells although most witches do use magick and spells.

Witchcraft is a neo-Pagan religion that is based on the ancient nature/fertility religions. There is a lot of ancient Celtic lore involved with witchcraft.

If you want to learn about witchcraft to gain power spare yourself, because that's not what its all about and no self-respecting teacher will take you on as a student if that is your attitude. Plus, if that's all you want you will probably lose interest before they are willing to teach you the stuff that are looking to learn.

And it doesn't exist like it is portrayed in the movies. It is highly exagerrated. The person above who said that spells are nothing but ritualized prayer is absolutely correct. Lightning bolts don't shoot from our finger tips, although there are some who claim to be able to start fires (pyrokinesis), but usually on a small scale like a candle flame. In any case, it DOES exist and if you want to attempt learning buy a book. A great one to read, especially for an absolutely beginner is 'Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Pracitioner' by Scott Cunningham.

Answer 5

First I want to say that Rogue has made some good points. However, I need to point out that witchcraft is not a religion but wicca is.

Witchcraft is basically the practice of magic. This is done by casting spells. Those that practice witchcraft are called witches. There are many types are witches. There are solitary witches, eclectic, kitchen, green, christian, ceremonial, etc... (you get the point).

Wicca is a religion that was started about 50 years ago by Gerald Gardner. The religion focuses on connections with nature and divinity. Most people that practice wicca are also practicing witches. However there are some that do not practice magic at all. They strive to just get that connection through various new age techniques.

Not all witches practice wicca. I no longer practice wicca but I do practice witchcraft. I am a solitary kitchen witch. What is it? In a nutshell I use common everday things to cast my spells. I do not seek to connect to nature or divinty through wiccan concepts or methods. I practice a wholly different religion. But besides the point...

Magic is real and does exist. I now for a fact because many of my spells have worked. If you are interested in learning about witchcraft, I suggest starting with wicca (info. is easier to find). Eventually you will get to the point where you can weed out the information you do not want or need. "Wicca: A guide for the solitary practioner" by Scott Cunningham is a great book to start with. That is the one I started with.

In most of his books he talks about wicca but most of the writing focuses on spellcasting and herbs. Once you are knowledgable enough try Raymond Buckland books. You will eventually find where you are most comfortable and you will be able to focus your search on just that subject.

Do realize there is only so much you can learn from books and personal experience. You will eventually need to learn from others to furthur yourself in the craft. After all, we learn from each other. Rule of thumb have fun and never stop learning!!

p.s. forgive any spelling errors spell check not working..lol!!!

Answer 6

Magik (spelled with a 'k' to differentiate from the stage magic) is real but it isn't like what you have seen on TV or movies or even read in Harry Potter books. There is no flash of light, smoke shows, or loud bangs. Magik is best explained as pray but not beholden to any Divine entity but coming from the power within yourself. Can you achieve things with magik? Yes you can and I have. There are definite rules to using magik and woe to those who use it for wrongful purposes.

If you want to start to understand witchcraft I recommend reading Scott Cunningham's "The Truth about Witchcraft Today". I included a link to find and order the book if you so choose.

Blessed Be )O(

Answer 7

If you mean Wicca yes it is not what you think it is a very ancient belief system that predated judasism, Chrsitainity Islam , Buddhism Hindu pratices and more by thousands of years . it is pramarly based on natuir te arth and the interaration between all ofnatue theyhjad some haevy science dowen fairly well .
there is some sects that believe in a goddes and god . . most have no clue as to what it isand practice abasterdized version of it.
if you mean some sort of Satan worship yes poolpe do that it is well rather repusive in wht some do oteres are not quite what you think either . tey are anarhists to soem degree an believe "god " is actually evil" so on
Bit te stuff youhaer from a clergy person is pure BS to scare you and make money


Oh Making fun of a person typing is childish . two there may well be very intellgent pople who have a disbil;ty that makes typing tough and VR systems are not perfect and do not alway s work with the intr net . als soem, may be from a diffrent natrion Um the inter net is world wode not just hre in the USA . . hence the WWW duh

Answer 8

Yes it exists but like an earlier answerer said, it's nothing like you see on TV. Do a google search on witchcraft or Paganism and check out some of those websites. Whichcraft is a religion centered around the importance of the earth rather than believeing in a God that looks like an old man sitting on a cloud judging which people will "go to heaven" and which people will "go to hell."

Answer 9

A good starting point for you would be this book. The Complete Guide to Witchcraft by Thomas Buckland.

Answer 10

I can't STAND Scott Cunningham. I would recommend Draja Mickaharic instead, who offers a simple, mechanic-style guide to the methodology of most practices of magic.
It is very hard work and almost everyone will drop out before they acquire any powers.
