a witch or magician offered to cast a beneficial spell for you? Would you decline or accept?

Instead of running back to your last questions, I'll take care of them all here.
If someone wants to pray for me, fine. I'm not a believer, the prayers won't have an effect on me, and if it makes them feel better, go for it. Some things aren't worth getting all bent out of shape about, and this is one of them, in my opinion. The same holds true for someone with radically different beliefs. Not going to bother me.
Now, you bring up witches, and here is something interesting. I have allowed this, and it has worked. Or, it could have been a coincidence, depends on how you look at it.
When my 14 year old son was 18 months old, he had night terrors. Every single night the screaming would start, and it would go on for hours, usually from 1am to 4am like clockwork. It was driving all of us insane, and we had no way to help him. His doctor told us this was common, not harmful, and would run its course.
One morning, I was helping my mother set up for a bake sale, and she commented on how tired I looked. I told her about the terrors of the night before, paying little attention to the woman nearby.
After we had our tables set up, the woman approached me and explained that she practiced Wicca, and would I accept her offer of help. I didn't have a lot of time to ask or answer questions, so she asked only for his first name and birth date, and then she left.
He never had another night terror. Not a one. Did she help? Was it coincidence? I will never know. This is just one of those odd little happenings that defies explanation.

Decline! A witch is casting a spell on material energies. God is ultimate spirit! Magic only works when the mind is open to its benefits.

What you reseort to reflects what you believe in. I would still pray to Allah because I believe in Him rather than accepting spells. My religion is against this any way.

As witches and magicians deal in the occult, which is the realm of satan, I would leave them to the Lord to deal with!

I wouldn't have a problem with a person of any faith doing what they can to send good energies toward me and my family.

When you pray, you must believe in God and he will answer your request. Accepting spells are not of God and is showing lack of faith in HIM.

any way you slice it:
if you mumble into your hands and have the delucion that a god is listening to you and making notes...
...then you are ill, out of your mind, and you have an incredibly large ego.

If was offered by a Wiccan, I would take it and say thank you.
