I believe that people practice it. I do not believe that it, or "magi ck," exists.

I believe there are people that practice it.
Believe that it has any power? No. Because if God Jesus is with you what does it matter who is against you.

Witchcraft (Wicca Craeft), is also called Wicca, or alternatively, The Craft. This previously underground religion has much to teach every human about survival and about the ethical use of natural innate powers.

The Craft is a way of life that investigates every potential that you have. The Craft draws its strength from the diversity of Nature itself; indeed it rejoices in diversity. Your views and interests are just as valid as anyone Else's, and we hope that you too will help to push back the artificial barriers that surround many religious dogmas.

As we will mention several times on this website,
Witches are not Satanists. The negativity in that offshoot of Christianity is not for harmonious thinkers such as Witches.

absolutely,there's good and evil, God and the devil, be careful just because you can't see spiritual things they are there. If you're looking to fill a void only Jesus Christ will do.

If your asking do I believe that witchcraft exists of course! If it saint exist then we wouldn't have, Exd 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. in the Bible. i think maybe witchcraft is not the same as during biblical times, but some people may dibble dabble in magic...

Witchcraft is a practice from Satan. Satan does really give his followers power. However, Satan is under God's authority, and, since the death and Resurrection of Christ, is bound in some ways. If you're not a Christian, you should fear witchcraft.

witchcraft may provide for a false and temporary power, from a place where God is not. I dint doubt it's power, i just doubt its the right way to receive from the world. if its not from God, its a lie.

I believe ultimately for me in the highest level of truth and righteousness, that is Jesus. And when you have Jesus, you dint need witchcraft, i TRUST nothing else for the real deal. TRUTH.

The witch groups are one thing I'm not familiar with, but I think that if, in general, we have ill feelings toward someone it will manifest somehow. Likewise, if we have love in our heart and, for example we cook a dish with that love, that dish will have positive reactions to anyone who eats it.
I think the key is to be respectful of others, and then we have nothing to worry about. And even those who can hurt us only give us what we had coming (they do us a favor).

Yes and No
If someone believes you have some sort of power then your "spells" will have a tangible impact on them and their behavior should you work something for them. In the same way if you believe you have a certain power over you self then you can effect changes over you self in ways that other people wouldn't be able too. As a simple example someone who wears a "lucky" necklace or bracelet and believes it aids them will be more confident which in many cases is an advantage. By the same token the "power of prayer" and the placebo effect are both purely mental exercises by which some factual evidence exists to support effect without tangible cause (otherwise known as magic).

I hope that answer is along the lines of what you were looking for. If you were asking about the more simple, "do you believe in things like effortless flight" the answer is no, but if I saw someone flying a broomstick without apparent technological aid I would probably take it in stride and assume it was yet another human ability that can't be entirely explained through modern science (magic).

Best Regards,
Armus

As a Christian I believe that there is one true God and that He sent His Son so that I might spend eternity with him and all who accept him.
That being the case if God is real so is the master of evil Satan himself. Thus witchcraft does exist.
Contrary to other postings on this subject, just because you do not openly call yourself a Satanist doe not mean that he is not the father of your religion.
Anything the is placed above God is of Satan and stems from his desire to have you spend eternity with him.
A good witch, a white witch, or any other type of "itch" is grounded in Satan.
He would just as soon deceive a person by offering them ANYTHING but the truth.
So yes witchcraft is very real, very deceptive (as demonstrated here) and very dangerous.
Call it what it is... Anything that is not for God is against him and will ultimately lead to death and life everlasting in torment.

Yes. I've had my stint with it. And I discovered that it's power is real. The spirit realm is real. Darkness is real.
Then I discovered something greater & loving.
Is it real? Absolutely.
Is it right? Absolutely not.

Most definitely.

Many different kinds of witchcraft are practiced by many different religions. Many people use the term "Witchcraft" interchangeably with Wicca, but this is incorrect.

Wicca is a RELIGION, whereas Witchcraft is a PRACTICE. This is why they are different. Although many Wiccans do choose to practice Witchcraft, there are many people who belong to other religions and practice Witchcraft, and still others that do not follow any religion and practice Witchcraft. Other religions that practice different forms of Witchcraft include Santeria, Vodun, Asatru, Druidism, Roma, and many others. Witchcraft is practiced in different ways, using different techniques and different tools among all of these, but they are all forms of Witchcraft.
