when practice wicca?

Question

can you actually make stuff appear like for example make money or a pie appear in front of your eyes im just curious to know thanks i had a friend that was interest in it

i watch tyra show and its was some good witches on there and they say its true

Answer 1

No, you want stage magic for that.

Answer 2

No. You can't. The Tyra Banks show is stupid. Real magic works with nature, not against it. If you do a spell to get money, you may be offered a higher paying job, (Though you still have to work for it!) or someone who owed you money that you forgot about might remember suddenly to pay you back, but it's not going to just appear in your lap. Imagine what that would do to the economy!

Answer 3

If your friend is really interested in it suggest she get some books by Scott Cunningham and Raymond Buckland.
If we could make money appear then there would be a lot of rich witches around! Sorry to say, if they can do that it is probably prestidigitation (slight of hand), not wiccan. My mother always told me believe non of what yopu hear and half of what you see". There are a lot of pretenders out there that would be happy to take your money. They are not truly wiccan.

OK, first, read about the lives of famous occultists:

http://usminc.org/famous.html

Then decide if it's worth persuing. If you want to wind up broke and forgotten, go for it!

If there is any truth to the old saying "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.", that truth is found in the occult, and Wicca in particular. Silver Ravenwolf has written close to a dozen books on the subject of "The Craft", and claims she has been studying it since about 1969, which is almost as long as I’ve been alive. She has written a book on how to cast money spells, and includes a chapter on how to do so in her Teen Witch book. But the thing is, she doesn't particularly sound all that prosperous herself. Ravenwolf writes,

" For years I couldn't afford to go to a hair stylist (still can't, it's shop and chop for me). I got pretty good at stying my own hair from looking at magazine pictures" [SOURCE: Teen Witch, Llewellyn Publications, 2003 edition, page 145]

OK, she so rich she can't go to the hairdresser. Hey, get me a copy of that Prosperity Spell book!

Silver Ravenwolf seems to have inadvertently discovered that Wicca makes things worse, but won't ever admit it as such.
In Teen Witch she says

"A lot of people tell me how bad their lives have gotten after casting a spell and tell me they won't do Witchcraft anymore. I tell them their lives would have been much worse for not having cast the spell".

Gee Silver, you would think a lot of people would be saying things like "Hey, Silver Ravenwolf, my life has improved tremendously with Wicca!" if Wicca is as great as they claim. Instead it makes lives much worse, and even Silver Ravenwolf admits she hears this a lot!!!

Why? Because sometimes, things are just as you think they are. Most average people will tell you the occult deals with black magic and demons, and demons are evil beings who wish us harm. This is how it is my friend. The occult is evil, and brings bad happenings into a person's life, and Wicca is an occult religion. When you stop trying to rationalize it with inaccurate data and just use common sense you will realize this. Some occultists are of above average intelligence, and I think part of the problem is they have book smarts but not common sense. There are two forces at work in this universe: the counterfeit and the genuine. Wicca’s source of power is not the genuine. There’s just simply no way Wicca (and thus the copycat Neopagan religions) can be created from the black magic writings of “The Great Beast 666", the bizarre sexual practices of Gardner, the spiritual “guidance” of the Watchers (fallen angels) and still be a source of good!

None of the people who have answered your question can make it work either, Don't delude yourself. It's an incredible waste of time and money, and it's spiritual poison.

Answer 5

Yes, I saw the Tyra Show as well.

While they did talk about Spells, they weren't given the chance to elaborate.

Q: Do Witches and Wiccans cast spells?
A: Yes. Well, some do anyway. However, the term "spell" is widely misunderstood.

Spells, are somewhat like prayers and are used to create needed change in one's own life or the life of a loved one. But while prayers are a petition to an external Deity to create the change, most Witches and Wiccans believe that Deity is present in everything, including ourselves. Spells, then, are the channeling of our own divine selves, our own energies, to create the change.

Spells such as those which use love magic to gain the attention of a specific individual, or curses, are considered "manipulative". Most Wiccans believe that anything manipulative-that goes against the free will of another-is considered wrong. Many other pagan paths have similar codes of conduct based upon the tenets of their tradition or belief and almost all believe that the responsibility for their actions will lie with them.

If you'd like some examples of spell work, or talk to a Witch and ask questions, feel free to message me thru my profile.

Answer 6

~sigh~

TV is pablum for the brain.

Turn it off.

READ. Visit your local libraries. Go to book stores and browse.

There are good books about this, and very very very bad ones. Here are some of the good ones:

The Spiral Dance by Starhawk.
This one's her basic book, and recommended before her others, which are also good.

Anything by Doreen Valiente or by Janet and/or Stewart Farrar.
These are particularly valuable for their English Traditional background.

Real Magic by P.E.I. Bonewits.
This little book is entertaining, informative, and very useful from a practical standpoint.

Answer 7

Ask yourself, if we could just make money appear with a mere spell, would we have the jobs that most of us have now?

People have no concept as to how much energy making money or food appear would take, it much easier to work like normal folks, really.

Answer 8

You are watching to much TV. go and read a book.
and no, stuff like money and pies don't appear out of thin air or all
Wiccans would be rich and never go hungry.

Answer 10

No... that kind of magic isn't possible. If it was, everyone who does magic would be rich.
