Pagans have you ever actually cast a spell or something?

Question

any of you? this is to people who practice voodoo, wiccan, witchcraft, wiccer, etc.Have any of you ever cast a successful spell or anything of the type and what was it?

and if not why do you keep practicing it.

Answer 1

Yes! Actually they all have worked! They were Blessings, and personal spells.

Answer 2

You need to do a bit more reading on the subject of paganism to get a better grasp of whats what.
Yes, I have cast many spells. Most are completely successful, others partially. I say partially because if another person is involved they too must work toward the goal. There have also been some failures. I have gotten great jobs in the past, found the love of my life (before it gets anyone riled, I did not cast a spell on the person, it was a general spell to help me find the right person). With the aid of herbal knowledge have eased pain and treated illnesses. I have not had a cold in over 15 years and when treating others theirs last only 3 days instead of a week. I have even treated my cat who was not suppose to live to see his 8th birthday, he is about to turn 15. Unfortunately I was not successful in treating another for cancer. Lost her 2 weeks ago.

Answer 3

This question shows your lack of knowledge about Pagan practices, as you cannot clearly differentiate between the various Pagan religions.

Pagan practices including Wicca and Voodoo are NOT all about "casting spells". Although spell casting MAY be part of these religions, they are not the FOCUS of them.

The focus of ANY religion is the relationship of the Divine Presence (by whatever name) and the worshipper.

I could reverse this and ask why you either pray (if you are religious) or do any thinking ON religious/spiritual matters (if you are not). Usually PRAYER is talking to the divine.... Spells are a way of harnessing universal energy to accomplish a goal -- focussed willpower if you prefer....

Why NOT practice that?

Answer 4

Yes, and yes they are successful. I usually lean towards protective magic.

And what on earth is wiccer?? Everything mentioned above is referred to as witchcraft. And Wiccan is a description, not a type of magic. Sorry I'm a bit of an English freak...

Answer 5

Not all Pagans cast spells.

For those who do, consider it roughly the equivalent of Christians praying. Sometimes, it gets answered as asked, sometimes, answered in an unexpected way, and sometimes, not answered. ::shrugs:: Might as well ask Christians why they keep practicing when they get unanswered prayers - sometimes, that's just the way things work out.

You might also want to keep in mind that many of the Pagans who do cast spells quite frequently *won't* discuss past spellwork that they've done, especially with random strangers on the internet.

Answer 6

Yes, I do work for clients and for myself as needed. The work I do typically has to do with restoring balance.

An example of a recent case involved a woman whose husband left her daughter and her unexpectedly for another woman. Through a combination of prayer and spiritual work we were able to save this family from a nasty divorce and get the child's father back home. God is good.

Answer 7

Yes I have been. As to telling you which ones, they are personal. Sorry to disappoint you.

As to the practicing part, I practice because that is what I am. It's what I do. My spiritual path is mine and does not require anyone else to affirm it.

Answer 8

I've answered the question already this morning:

Answer 9

Yes I have and I've been successful......and I cannot say what it was about.
