does anyone think witchcraft is real?

Answer 1

Avoid it| Run from it for your life!!!


Here is an article of mine on Feng Shui!



Feng Shui!
------------


Feng Shui is the ancient art of furniture placement in a room or house to maximize "chi" or the "good vibes" in a place|

However, there is a serious problem with that, and no Christian should practice it|

It is because it belongs to the domain of the *occult.*


Now Feng Shui is based upon a truth - a profound truth!

That is what makes it so deadly|

It is based upon the truth that there is a meaning and an effect associated with the arrangement and pattern of *everything|*

However, this *science of pattern* is a science that far exceeds the *normal* human capacity of understanding|

We are not to be involved in that unless we know what we are doing|


Now what the occult is, is observing snippets and fragments of that science and then attempting to exploit pattern for your own knowledge or gain (e.g. Tarot cards, Palm reading, Astrology, Tea Leave Reading. etc. do this)|

That stuff is not fake| It is deadly real|

It exploits the science of pattern for the sake of power or inner knowledge of the practitioner|

Now the pure spirits (both good and bad) have a grasp of this science of pattern|

The good angels utilize it discretely for our benefit, but the bad angels will play the practitioner of the occult like a violin who dabbles in it|

Dabbling in the occult always destroys the intellect and the will|

That is why someone long practiced in witchcraft or sorcery becomes *retarded* in his or her own way in time|


Now with Feng Shui, a person *forces* pattern in an environment, while ironically not knowing what he is really doing|

It is like putting a child at the controls of a nuclear reactor|

That is why any place that practices it, has *something* of a good feeling to it - but at the same time, it is subtly icky and fake|


Anyways, just to give you the low-down on it|


The amazing thing about Catholicism is that an *infinite deductive science* can proceed from it|

In fact, vast systems of science can proceed from it|

With the Catholic Faith, there is an infinite ocean of truth to explore|||

Answer 2

Witchcraft is the product of a religion, actually several religions. Wicca is a religion as is as real as catholic, pentecostal, judaism, muslim, or any other religion. Witchcraft is something someone uses to aide them into focusing their will onto something or some event they wish to take place or control. It is not necessary. Jesus had it right when he said that if we have the faith of a mustard seed then we could move mountains. He also said that everything he did we can do also and that we would do even greater things that he. So yes, magic, miracles, all that is real if you believe strongly enough. Its our imposed belief system of being told that certain things are impossible that gets in the way and it's very hard for a human being to remove that belief system when they have relied on it all of their lives.

Answer 3

It depends on your definition of witchcraft. The witchcraft I know of is based on religions.
There is Voodoo-religion practiced in Caribbean countries, especially Haiti.
There is Santeria-Cuban religion based on African religion and Roman-Catholic saints
These are considered black magic which is bad. Although there are spells and rituals for good such as cleansing the body of impurities and warding off the evil eye, etc.
There is Wicca-A contemporary Pagan religion. It centers on the reverence for the creative forces of Nature, which are symbolized by a goddess and a god. Basically a balance of nature. There are rituals and spells, but it is for spiritual and physical balance.
Practitioners of these religions are considered to be practicing witchcraft.
This is completely based on a belief. These practitioners believe it is real and that it works. These are old religions and have been in practice for a long time. Actually, the only religions that I know of that don't actively seek new members. The only religions that don't want to force you to believe in their gods, saints, or goddess. Voodoo and Santeria are usually handed down from generation to generation. It is also a cultural thing. Wicca is more of a personal way of life a oneness with nature.
So, my answer would be that it depends on your definition. I believe in all of it because I have seen it first hand. I don't believe in such magic as seen on Charmed or any other Hollywood made story.

Answer 4

do not enable those different individuals inform you its no longer some thing in any respect like the films, even as it may no longer be as intense and also you cant do regardless of you go with because some issues are only no longer life like yet there continues to be some quite remarkable stuff, magic is very authentic. No its no longer only "ooh enable me harm some herbs jointly and phone it witchcraft" thats said as wicca it is a faith no longer authentic witchcraft. its a real capacity that comes from interior and may be experienced with meditation and practice and has a real technological know-how to it. I propose getting to renowned it more desirable, do not pay interest to factors of interest that make it about faith or only say stuff about herbs and etc.even if i do imagine gem/crystal magick is useful for novices

Answer 5

I wouldn't really call this a philosophical question but I personally don't believe in witchcraft in the way that people think of witches. There is a religion called Wicca which uses a "magical" or a nature belief and that can be construed as magic. It is all in the eye of the beholder

Answer 6

The best answer for this was on the first DVD that came with the Charmed series, it went "Do you know that there are actually some people who believe that aliens exist"
the other guy said " Yer"
"Well, in the same way some people believe that they are witches, they find happyness in harming others".
The DVD says that there are two types, good and bad, good ones want to make life better and bad ones want to make life worse by killing good ones.
Superstition is the root of all evil as far as this is concerned.

Answer 7

No. Not in a sense of spell casting and witchcraft. I think this spellcasting and witchcraft in equivocal to the concept of prayer, or meditation, but in another form. Brewing a pot of some magic potion in a big cast iron kettle with a big wooden spoon is just a ritual (assuming that this is actually done) much like many religions that perform sacrifices, fasting, and have daily or at least regular, practices, like communion.

Answer 8

Witchcraft as in Charmed the tv show witchcraft? no, its not. Wicca as a religion or a practice? Yes, it is very real and growing in popularity.

Answer 9

I don't, I think the belief in "evil witches/witchcraft" stemed from ancient beliefs in natural healing. Priestesses were reveared in ancient times but with the advent of the Christian church (no slam against them) I think they felt threatened by the earlier pagan beliefs. This gave rise to the "evil sorceresses" belief; hense witchcraft.
I do think there are a lot of unknowns out there...

Answer 10

Witchcraft is real. Whether its anything more than yet another palliative for people who can't live with the apparent meaningless nature of existence is another matter.
