If so how do you cast spells? Do they work?

Quite real! Though maybe not as flashy and sensationalistic as most people think (no matter how hard I try I can't seem to turn people into toads...nor do I think it possible ^_^). Witchcraft is merely the manipulation of energy and intent. It is a way to connect with the power of the Devine withing all of us. But before you do any spell work dearheart, do some research and if it is something you really feel drawn to, start by doing some simple meditation. Get used to the feel of energy and it's flow - your personal energy, the energy of the earth, and the energy of the universe. Take your time with it.
Good books:
Idiots Guide to Wicca and Witchcraft
Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft by Ramond Buckland (also known as "Uncle Buckys Big Blue Book" lol)
Witchcraft Theory and Practice by Ly de Angeles
Spirit of the Witch by Raven Grimassi

The crafts that Christians named people witch, for their workings in such, are real. Witchcraft and the Crafts have never been an religion in themselves. The Old Religions accepted the crafts and did not condemn them. It was the Christians that began the hatred and fear.
Spells are real, but cost much in time and effort. As an example, it is much easier to make a herbal poultice or potion than cast a spell. Healers and midwives of many centuries ago would dip cloth into a cauldron of boiling water with various herbs before wiping a cut or wound to cleanse it mumbling prayers to one God or another. The clergy and physicians of the day called them Witches and their cauldrons tools of the devil. Today it would be labeled sanitary medical practices.
That those of the many crafts choose to wear the label Witch in these days, has turned it from Christian hate to Pagan love.

Witchcraft is indeed real but has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Satan. Witches do not acknowledge any devil, that is an entirely Abrahamic concept and not something to do with magic(k). I have never heard of saying spells in latin but I suppose you could if you wanted to. It could even add power - but only because you put more energy into it. Any other language would work equally as well but you have to understand what you are saying. Witchcraft is using natural energy to bring about a needed effect, such as healing someone or bringing good fortune. - Joanna Eve

Witchcraft is real and the spells do work. Spells are much like Christian prayer. You focus your intent upon a goal to make it happen. Don't mess around with it though, like any part of nature, it is dangerous if not handled properly. Study it if you are really interested and only use it with wisdom and understanding.

It is real. And sorry but Christianity came from Pagans and Celtics, not the other way around. Read a book on Wicca. but spells are dangerous and you should never use one to harm. It will come back on you three fold.

don't just look into "wicca" there are other pagan religions besides just that one, or you can choose to do spellwork independent of any of them. The general idea is to find an energy source, tap into it, and use the energy to enact change. I like reading about spells on luckymojo.com or you can go find lots of books about it at llewellyn.com not sure i spelled that right...try running a search for "free spells" or "pagan" or "magick", you'd have plenty to read if you do.

Yes, they're it's just that it is not taking place in the U.S.
in other countries there is a lot of them. You don't want to get your self involve because most of it is either for harming people and most people doing it is not going too heaven.
they are spells, but nothing magical comes out your arms or a stick wand would have magical things coming out of it. Example:
Tigers are closed to being extinct and when they are like in 5 years 100 years after they are no one would believe they exist they would think it is a myth or exec.
Example: People in the U.S used to run 8miles or less in one hour, but after all these trans portions come around people don't even bother to walk and now that all these ( future) transportation's come no one will believe some one can run that fast. But In the other countries there SOME people still doing it.
You know what I can't explain.
But there are a lot of crazy things going on and you don't know it, people can do this or that, but at least 1 person can do an impossible or something that people think is unreal.

no witchcraft until Christianity? Sorry, but where did you get your facts?
Anyway, I highly suggest that you do a lot of research before you jump into spellcasting. It's not just a flick of the wrist and saying a few words. Get some books, but none of those "how to turn your boyfriend into a toad" type stuff. Blech.

It is real. If you want to learn more you need to research and find people in your area that you can learn from. It is not a game, and you will find no one who will give you easy answers.

It is. Beware of much bogus information.
I suggest doing research at either wicca.com or witchvox.com to learn; magick is a complex subject.
Oh, and a quick note: don't buy a book by Silver Ravenwolf. They are loaded with much... "fluff."
