Is 13 years old to young for trying white witch craft ?

Question

My sisters daughter wants to learn white witch craft and she's only 13 is that to young to start something like that?

I don't think there is anything wrong with it because I had friends in high school who did that.

I didn't know if it was just me but I told her that yes she is to young for that but she still wants to do it though.

Answer 1

80 is too young

Answer 2

Trying and learning are 2 different things. I began on this path when I was 12. That was 40+ years ago. LEARNING not practicing! began practicing when I knew the rede and the three-fold law and understood the full meaning. So No, she is not too young to learn about it. Does she have a reason? Because it is cool is not a reason. If she has a desire to learn about and protect the earth that is a start.
Witchcraft does not come in colours. Unless you count what colours work best for what, and in that case my colour would be golden yellow for creativity and energy. It has nothing to do with the person, just the actions. She is too young to become part of a coven so I would suggest the book "Wicca, a Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" by Scott Cunningham. That is a good place to start. Please discourage her from reading Silver Ravenwolf, that would be counter productive.
I am so sorry if you get a lot of CRAP from the ignorant, close-minded people (Christian or not), it is not a bad thing any more than anything else is.
If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Here's the thing,
There's no such thing as "white" or "black" witchcraft. It's all in the intention of the individual casting the spell. If I cast a spell to help a friend of mine find the romantic connection they're best suited for, its a "white" spell. If I cast the same spell, with the intent of attracting the romantic attention of a woman I know is in a committed relationship the spell would be "black".

Now, the Threefold Rule says anything you put out there with withcraft/magic(k)/enlightened will/occult sciences etc, will come back to you three times stronger. If you do good, three times the good will find its way back to you. If you do evil, the same thing happens.

You know the young woman and I don't, but you should ask yourself something: Don't all teenagers have petty, spiteful, jealous moments...teenagers often show less impulse control than they should right? In regular life the kind of mistakes that can result from those emotional traits can have painful consequences for the teen. But parents can help their child through the worst of it, sometimes even lessening the pain of those consequences.

There's no shield or mitigation a parent can find to mitigate mystic consequences of the negative sort. Imagine if this young woman decided to give a girl whose looks she envied a few pimples out of that envy. She'd be heartbroken when she woke up with a horrible case of acne herself...

I guess what I'm trying to say is the occult sciences or mystic arts or witchcraft, whatever you choose to call it can be an enriching element in a persons life to be sure. But it carries the same sort of risks (albeit in a very different way) as firearm use. There are of course teens responsible enough to use firearms responsibly/constructively...as there are teens who cause great tragedies with them.

Just something to think about. My .02

Get a Bible and ask for the passages where it says that ALL kinds of witchcraft and sorcery and wanting to know about the future is wrong and totally against God's wishes.

Evil exists and it wears many masks.

Don't encourage her to get into this kind of thing. It's WRONG.

Answer 5

At 13, she thinks she knows better than everyone else what is best for her, so she's going to do it, no matter what anyone else thinks.

Just watch over her, get her a copy of Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham.

Either, she'll read it, and decide it's too much work, and find something else to check out, or she'll stick with it for life, either way, it'll keep her out of trouble, instead of allowing her to use a book that might not be suitble for her.

Answer 6

well not really if the child understands the ins and outs of it fully then let them start at a slow pace and learn as they grow in years .... but what some don't understand about having powers like that you can come into them at any given time . and yes you have to be shown how to use them the right way or bad things will come back and bite the sender big time ... best of luck to you ....

Answer 7

Is it a question of your neice's faith, or is it just a fad? Assuming it's a question of faith wouldn't it be the same thing to ask "Is 13 too young for trying Christianity, Islam, Judaism or ?"

Every year it seems younger and younger children are trying to act older and older. I'd just say it was a good thing your sister is so involved with her daughter that she is aware of this desire to study witchcraft. However, I would advise that your sister look into it with your neice, not that I'm saying she should practice witchcraft as well, only that she continue to be aware of her daughter's interests, active in her life and aware of any potential dangers.

Answer 8

Sorry but, if it has anything to do with witch~craft it is real stuff!
The spirit world is nothing but dangerous. It's either angel or demon and, angels do NOT communicate that way anymore. Even something that seems innocent and fun is simply inviting demon activity in your or her life and, with demons you don't just say "don't come around any more." Let me know if you want any info. or explanation. OK?
