Witchcraft = The Craft of the Wise...
There are millions of Witches around the world, and there are many, many paths we follow...
Most Witches, follow "The Old Ways", and we honour the earth, the seasons and the universe....
Nobody in their right mind would call themselves a Warlock..
Warlock, is an ancient Scottish word meaning, traitor or oath-breaker...
Hollywood has never depicted a Witch correctly, as a matter of fact, they have done nothing but damage the image of the true Witch....
Christianity is just a trumped up cult, which came to power violently over a very brief period of approx 60 years after the death of Constantine...
I wish Hollywood would stick to the facts when making movies, but that will never happen...
Blessed Be... )O(
Edit :- To those pathetic excuses of human beings who are forever giving people the thumbs down for stating for the most part, historical FACTS...
Then I say unto you, I, like a lot of contributors in this forum and in R&S, are armed to the teeth with the absolute unequivical, catagorical historical facts, what have you got!?!?
A book, a very dangerous book, anytime you wish to know more about your book, feel free to contact me, as I know more about the absolute facts of your book than you will ever know..
Blessings.. )O(

Yes there are witches, but do not confuse them with the figures you see in movies or any other media. A witch simply is a person who practices and studies witchcraft. It couldn't be a sin to believe in witches since we actually exist. Warlock is not a proper term for a male witch though. Warlock comes from an old word meaning oath breaker and any witch worth his salt would take it as an insult. I don't know about good and evil witches though. I believe that they are completely subjective and that no one person is wholly good or evil. There are witches who try to harm others, but not many who actually know what they are doing. A true witch knows that any magical workings that he or she performs will have to eventually come back to them, so we refrain from intentionally harming others. If you want to understand us better, you're going to have to do some more research. As for people who worship Satan, can't say that I've heard of a specific religious group that worships the Christian idea of Satan. Satanists don't even do that. Nor do Luciferians (sp?). Satanists are generally atheistic. They believe that nothing is higher than oneself and that it is a sin to allow anything to take control of one's own life. Luciferians worship the Roman god Lucifer, the light bringer (not sure if he's a god so that's what I'll call him). As for individuals who worship Satan as depicted in the Christian faith, I'm sure there are some, but I've never met them. May you find much knowledge on your journey through this life. Blessed be.
Edit: Wiccan and witch are NOT the same thing. Wicca is a religion. Witchcraft is a practice which is not inherent to any religion and thus can be used in any religion, even Christianity if the individual can justify it with his or her own beliefs.

Yes there are practitioners of witchcraft. Magic is whatever the person wants it to be. It is a recognized religion and if you want to look it up, many of the same rituals can be found in Christianity. Witches are witches, male and female, not warlocks. It is an individual decision if you think its a sin. Personally, I think every religion has its good and bad points and it is wise to keep an open mind about what others believe.

Of course there are witches. I am one my self. I do protection bottles, curses, love spells,and so on. There can be good witches and bad witches. I am pretty much a good witch unless you get on the bad side of me but I never punish to badly. My worst (to those who fear Death) Is seeing blood and death where ever they go and my worst to those who are supperstisious is making them break mirrors and so on and it makes them feel like the unluckiest person ever. Of course these all happen in thier head, but it is still effective. I like doing love, friendship, and protection spells more then curses tho.
I is definetly not a Sin to belive in wiches and warlocks but it could be to be one, but im not to worried anout sins.
You also asked if people worship Satan. My answer is yes. Espessially evil witches and warlocks who try to contact him. Tho i do not belive it is possible to talk to him through any kind of magic.
I also saw someone mention that we try to keep ourselfs hidden. Well, they are right. We only tell our most trusted freinds about our witchcraft. I can always talk about it on thhis websight though because no one knows who i relly am.
By the way...witches arent wiccans. wiccans make medican and healing, witches do magic

yes, there are witches. but they arent what many people say they are. they look normal, you couldve easily met one and not even know it. some are bad and some are good. since you are a Christian, it depends on what you are believing about the witches. are you believing that they are more powerful then the god that you believe in. That would be putting a higher god before the one you are suppost to worship therefore not following 1 of the ten commandments. i dont think it is a sin to believe that the exist, but if it begins to take over your life so much that you are more interested in them then the god you are suppost to believe in then it is a sin.
honestly everything is a sin in the christian church. all the more reason for me to get out! which i did and am very proud of.

I always find it rather interesting when a Christian Polydiaboist gets all worked up about Herbalists and Healers that Christians made up the name Witch to denigrate their crafts. Craft people who don't believe there are such things as devils and demons.

A witch is a legend of art..form..and type..Now..if you get more into the subject.They are many arguement's on a witch.
First of all.They did exist in history.Salem trials they we're not witches they had mental disorders..In later year's people experimented with the underworld and good and bad.That is where "Voodoo" and other types of good craft and bad come in.
I will support this by this article.The facts of history are stronger and facts of today.In most countries ppl..Dance to Voodoo god's and godessess..and lords..I'm a deep thinker and I like to know..Thing's around me..call it inguestive..but..Never practice the craft.I'm firm believer that everything has a purpose.and time.Even if is stranger than fiction.The truth is out there.

It's never a sin to believe in life. There are witches in our world, and they practise a religious way called Wicca. Wicca is a nature religion, and non-christian.But it is a formal way of life. Now evil witchcraft only exists with those who either pretend or follow the devil's way. They have power,but they never have freedom.But the best thing you can do is have faith in the Universal Creator, for his power is omnipotent.Having Faith is the crucial part of our life.But learning truths should be allowed to all who seek.

Yes dear, I;m here to tell you that witches are real, I am one. Let me tell you a little secret that the christian hyerarchie dont want you to know, your bible was translated from its original scrolls into latin by roman catholic preasts who rerote it to say what they wanted it to say. Your bible is not gods word, just mans word and a form of mass control and inslavery.
Acording to the bible women are the original sin and nothing but breading cows and slaves for men to use. The truth is god is a woman. If she wasn't men would be having the babies and taking care of the hearth and home while we women sat around drinking, belching, and scratching ourselvse.
For once in your life listen to your heart and follow your own path instead of letting others tell you what to believe and that to ask a question that they dont like would be a sin. acording to most of christianity, thinking for yourself is the ultimate sin, anything else, even murder and whatnot, go ahead and sin all you want, as long as you pay the preacher on sunday and say amen.
