Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2009 12:03 am Post subject: Are you a witch
I was wondering what attracts people to witchcraft.
I have spoken to women who have worked spells and would deny vehemently that they were practising witchcraft, but to me that is exactly what they are doing.
Is it that they want to be apart from the crowd or perhaps a desire to be seen as someone special?
Or is it something else perhaps?
Do we all have a bit of the witch in us just waiting to surface? _________________ Please visit our main site
I would like to find out more out more about witchcraft.
Witchcraft isn't a 'colour', it just is.
To say the craft is black or white usually implies it's either good or evil magick that's taking place.
Magick in itself is neither good or evil. Think of it like electricity.
It can be used to save a life or take a life.
The same is true of magickal energy. It's what it is used for that defines whether or not it's good or bad.
As for the terms White Witch and of course, Black Witch this implies a 'White Witch' does nothing but good, positive magick, while a 'Black Witch' does nothing but evil, negative magick.
While there are people who certainly do consider themselves White Witches and Black Witches, I would say that people who label themselves in such a way probably aren't very good Witches at all.
A successful Witch is one who probably would consider themselves a 'Grey Witch'.
Life is rarely black or white, the same applies to the craft.
Also Swanny, if you want to learn about the craft and you're a complete novice I would recommend you start with books by Kate West.
They are an easy read and explain all the basics in a very no-nonsense, down to earth way.

And who is "you lot"?
I was thinking the same thing David.
I have a sneaky feeling Fire dragon is either Jon Donnis or someone from his site.
I may be wrong, but don,t think i am.
Spells and magic have always intreigued me David.
Spells to help heal.
Spells to help bring positives into someones lives where there is only negative.
To connect with nature.
I think I may have some natural witch stuff here I'm fascinated by nature, herbs and healing and all that..... I'm extremely interested in the elements and had many experiences with different things that have made me wake up a bit. I honestly don't' know if I am or not does it really matter?
I don't particularly like labels- lots call me a witch though I have never given myself that title
oh and I just love chanting no idea if that's eve related but I started to get the urge to do that about 4 years back and wow it feels great ha! _________________ as a babe drinks from its mothers breast so too does man milk mother earth
You really can't be a Witch and not realise it EG. That's like saying "I think I'm a natural Catholic" - LOL!
you can certainly have a lot of psychic energy around you and learning the craft will help you channel that but the term 'natural Witch' is as much a myth as 'White Witch'.
okay so a witch is something you choose to become is it? I honestly don't know I'm guessing you are saying it is like a life choice or a way of life.. _________________ as a babe drinks from its mothers breast so too does man milk mother earth
To say you're a Witch means you practice and perform certain rituals and ceremonies at certain times that have been set down according to the tradition or path you follow.
These are usually only learned from other Witches by books they write or classes they run.
You don't have to be a Witch to perform magick, be psychic or do readings.
Some people certainly do have a natural talent for Witchcraft however, I think you have a natural talent for it EG as well as Lily.
But having a natural talent doesn't make you a Witch in itself.
There are certain procedures and things that must be learned and understood in order to call oneself a Witch.
