Yes it is very real. However, it is NOT what you think it is. You are all speaking from what you have been taught by those who are too closed minded, or too afraid to find out the truth.
For example, to a witch, if you do so much as a healing spell for a friend who is very ill, without their permission, that is considered to be black, or dark, magic.
Spell is just another word for prayer. It is the exact same energy. Light a candle, say words of the outcome you would like to see manifest. Evil spell? Not. How about a Catholic lighting a candle in the church for a need they have? Same thing! Same energy!
Remember, to understand a thing does NOT equal believing in it. So, read, educate yourselves about the ways of the world. Come into this century with your eyes open. Information is power. Remember: true Witchcraft = the Old Religion, and is a legally recognized and protected religion.
Ritual killings and murders are NOT witchcraft. However, they are often cloaked in such terms to justify the evil and irresponsibility of the offender. Anyone who does such awful things, and claims to be practicing witchcraft, is not a witch at all. They would indeed be cast out of the pagan community = a warlocking. (Warlock is an action, not a person)
To us, there is no such thing as Satanism. We do not have a deity called Satan/ the devil. This is a Christian God, albeit an evil one, and Satanism is Anti-Christianity based on opposing the principles of Christianity.
Paganism/Witchcraft is a beautiful Earth & nature based religion whose followers strive to live in harmony with nature, and the cycles of the year. We have no need to oppose the Christian principles. We respect the rights of others to believe and have faith as they see fit.
Now, if they would only give us the same respect! Probably won't happen in my lifetime. Sad.

Yes but they are not the same thing.
I am Pecti-Witan (aka Hedge Witch, not Wiccan) a "solitary" practitioner of "the Old Religion", and have been for many, many years. Being a "Witch" is nothing like what is portrayed in movies or on Television. There is nothing flashy about it. we are fairly simple people with "abilities" that everyone has, ours are just honed and utilized. Lots of research and practice. There is a lot to learn when you are dealing with herbal, mineral and candle magick.
BTW I do read tarot cards, rune stones and utilize a number of other "fortune telling" tools but would NEVER charge anyone for anything I do! Besides, I do not do "readings" or "cast spells" for others on demand. That sounds more like a carnival ruse or some sort of con.
In my opinion Black Magic would be more of Santaria or VooDoo, not witchcraft. And both of those religions, believe it or not, are more closely related to Christianity than witchcraft. VooDoo being partially based in Catholicism.
It has been mentioned that black (or dark) magick would be spells done without the knowledge of the person it is done for or to. I, myself, don't go along with that because any self respecting witch knows that it would come back on them times 3. Why would I want to deceive someone knowing that I would be opening myself up to multiplied deceit? Oh well, that's just me and I have only been at this 40+ years and do not claim to know it all (far from it).

Yes it's real, but witchcraft does NOT equal Black Magick.

Well, it seems like whoever is doing it's certainly near, they're practising a form of voodoo. There are two approaches to do that, one among that's to fireplace again with magic, or bind/banish the men and women spell or the character in thoroughly. But the way of this may also be drawn from both aspect of white or black magic. Obviously, banishing of the curse and of the voodoo is white, however the killing of the genuine guy by way of banishing rituals isn't so white, as a question correctly its black.

Witchcraft is real, just not in the way it tends to be represented in books, TV and movies.
Magic is magic, it is neither white nor black, it is a tool. Like any tool it is all in how it is used. A stick can be used to hold something or it can be used to bash someones brains out, it is not a bad stick, it's the power behind the tool, the hand that wields it.

Yes, they are verry real, word currses, generational currses are also very real. In the Bible, Deuteronmy 18:10-11 says 10. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in [a] the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft. 11. or a charmer or a medium or a wizard or a necromancer, 12. for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD. And because of these abominations the LORD your God is driving them out before you. I hope you take this to heart, This is verry serious and you DON'T want to get entangeled in witchcraft or anything of this sort!!!!

In the Regulations, the LORD GOD commanded the Jews not to turn to mediums. Leviticus 20:31. Also, the Bible tells us about "Saul and the Witch of Endor" in 1 Samuel 28.
