I'm totally not trying to rip on Wiccans. I'm just wondering, if they believe they are witches and have magic, why can't they make magical stuff happen?

It's all in their Minds I guess. As far as I am concerned humans do not have supernatural (magical) powers.

Magick, like energy can not be produced, but is already in everything.
Magick is a fire creating heat, trees coming back to life after a long cold winter, food turning into energy, a new life in a womb, the warm fuzzy feelings we get when we see someone who is loved.
The practice of magick is to gather the energy already present in the world around us, and direct it towards a desired goal. Magick is not instantaneous either, it takes time, patience and practice. Magick is a tool to help, You can do all the spells you want for employment, but if you dont get off the couch and look for a job, the you wont find one. It is much like prayer, you may not see the results, but you can feel it working, and if nothing else helps have a positive frame of mind, which always helps.

Ok so how do you know they don't? lol
And perhaps you are a little mixed up with regard to magic itself. What YOU imagine when you think of "magic" may be something entirely different to a wiccan's definition of magic. Are you sure you understand exactly what the wiccan's are referring to when they mention magic? Perhaps not.
It is to your credit that you call a spade a spade when you feel you have seen a spade. It shows strength of character and I applaud you for it. But don't forget that sometimes in life, between the black and white are many shades of grey...
Namaste,

If you can grow a garden, make your home welcoming to all who visit you, put together a wonderful meal, teach somebody something, acquire a skill and make something of it then you have done magic.
If you have an inquisitive mind and can wonder at the beauty of nature you can literally do magic.

You evidently haven't been around the right Wiccans. Magick is all around us :)

If you mean the bippity-boppity-boo kind of magic, no, we don't do that. Real magic is more subtle than that, and like the results of Christian prayer, can easily be dismissed as coincidence.

for the same reasons that christians and muslims and jews believe in prayer when it produces no visible results.
Magic and spellwork is to Wiccans and Pagans, an equavilent to the prayers of the other religions.
