How many of YOU ladies here have ever "dabbled" into witchcraft ?
Happy Halloween everyone.
How many of you have ever taken a
walk to the dark side.
Have you ever did something that you
would soon regret ?
Did it hurt you ?
Did it scare you ?
Did it make you into a different, person.
Did you become dark.
Did you become cold.
I want to ask you this question.
Have you every dabbled or got involved
into any form of witchcraft before.
Did you do it to become powerful. Did you do it to get revenge. Did you do it
to ask the arch angel himself, about
the secret to life. And what lies beneath.
Were you angry at God ?
And did you forsake everything that you
were taught as a child, just to take a
walk to the dark side.
It involves minds, feelings, emotions,
dreams, thoughts, greed, envy.
And some may say that the supernatural
does not exist. But some of you, say otherwise.
Have you been involved in witchcraft before.
When I was younger, around the age of puberty, I liked the idea of witchcraft. I never tried any of it but I guess it was a nice fantasy world when my hormones were going haywire, trying to make me into a woman.
I was more interested in the elements that make up the world: fire, earth, air, water, plants, animals and I still respect and feel the force of them. I guess more of a Happy than a witch.
Ditto--in my youth I SW a witch. Stopped because I realized I don't believe ANY of that shite.
People seek thing, seek answers, throughout their lives.
Some people seek calm, like yoga.
Some people seek succor, look to God.
It's all seeking.
Human condition.
I can't claim to have ever "taken a walk on the dark side" specifically. The path I walk isn't defined by light or dark, it's defined by personal truths and realities.
Everyone has done things they regret, so naturally, have I. I can't recall an incident where I regret ed witchcraft and it's never scared me, made me become "dark" or "cold" but it has made me a different person... a better person.
I've been a witch for more then seven years now.
I didn't do it to become powerful... though a realization of my own inherent power has been one result. I never used witchcraft to seek revenge and did not get involved with witchcraft out of revenge. I've never sought communion with archangels as I do not see archangels as part of witchcraft... at least not the form I use.
I have been angry at deities in the past, but this is merely because I did not understand Them... I now realize that I am angry at the hatred spread by those who portray their deity in a horrible way.
As I've said, I've never "walked on the dark side" and I did not forsake what I was raised with... I was raised to understand that I was part of nature and that I had control over my life.
Yes, my craft does involve minds, feelings, dreams, thoughts etc. Greed and envy are natural human emotions, as are love and compassion... no human endeavor can escape this fact, but I try to make sure that my witchcraft is not overwhelmed by petty and selfish impulses.
I have been a witch for more then seven years. Yes, initially I "dabbled" but this is part of learning the craft.

I read a bit of Aleister Crowley and stuff when i was 13 or so--"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law", and all. I was raised in a very egalitarian agnostic household, and my parents went out of their way to teach me to be tolerant of all faiths...socially. At that age, you live to rebel and to push buttons, so I liked being able to make them uneasy. I also liked the idea of a secret source of power that didn't depend on my goodness, only my willingness to bargain. I was actually really disappointed that nothing happened. It was sort of a shock-value/secret society thing between me and my slumber party buddies. In retrospect, it was silly. But I do believe that witchcraft, real-live witchcraft, exists, and I wouldn't recommend messing with it overmuch.
I've been a witch for years now. I didn't get into it because I wanted revenge or I was angry at another religion...it simply felt right for me.
Witchcraft, however, is not a religion. It's a CRAFT...a set of skills one uses to accomplish a task. A spell in witchcraft isn't all that different from a Christian prayer actually. You can be any religion and still practice witchcraft.
I happen to be a pagan. I honor several Celtic deities, I revere the earth and nature as sacred and something worth protecting. I am a pacifist and I do not condone violence unless absolutely necessary.
Witchcraft is not dark or evil, despite what you may have heard or learned.
I don't dabble, I immerse myself. I have been Wiccan for 18 years and a witch my whole life which is 55 years. I celebrate the Sabbats and Esbats, honor the God and Goddess and take care of the Earth and her children. My family have been hedge witches for generations so I am not forsaking what I was taught as a child. For me it is simply my religion. It is a beautiful, peaceful earth based religion. I don't do it to shock others, or for power and I am certainly not angry at the God or the Goddess. I love Them as They love me. Your questions show that you are ignorant about my religion. I read your Bible so that I could learn about your religion. You might consider learning about mine before showing your ignorance on line for all to see. Go in peace.
