Is witchcraft a bunch of hooey?

Explain below why it is or why you think so.

No. Witchcraft is real, but it's demonic. Satan is very involved. Don't do it

What do you mean by witchcraft? That term encompasses a lot of things.


(Generally speaking, though: oh, absolutely, yes. Total hogwash.)

I don't know if witchcraft is real or not. I've never tried it. Maybe it's real to some people and not to others.

But I don't think witchcraft is evil just because it is witchcraft. Witchcraft, like any practice or religion can be used to be good or used to be bad. It's how you use it that counts.

Yes yes yes yes yes it is a bunch of bullshi* only stuff that relates to god is true

No. Lets just say kitty is no kitty anymore.

And it's not satanic. Well...I suppose it would be if you called upon Satan to help you, which wouldn't be such a bad idea, since he's such a powerful dude.

No witchcraft is very real and it should be avoided at all cost...........

This Book, I highly recommend!

No, there are people out there who practice witchcraft.

If you mean like turning yourself into a mermaid or deportingnAgata's a bunch of crap. Normal witch raft is practiced today. People who say its satanic are generalizing. Yes, it can be used for evil but, most of it is good.
Oh and for the people saying its against god. Let me ask you this, Have you ever made tea(like put the herbs together and everything)? THAT COUNTS AS WITCHCRAFT.
Its not evil unless your manipulative with it.

Yeah it's real, I've studied it for more than three years.. All different types; hoodoo, voodoo, cronyism, black magic, white magic, Wiccan.... But like all things some stuff just doesn't work.. you can't make people do the impossible (like changing the color of your eyes) I've seen spells for that it's complete nonsense like making someone fall in love with you.. junk like that is stupid..
P.S. If you think about it... without being bias prayer to God is a form of witchcraft (you're praying to an spiritual symbol to make something possible...)

That's a complicated answer. There are people who practice witchcraft, but I personally do not believe it really works. Being religious, I believe that practicing witchcraft is wrong, and that if anything DOES come of it, it is coming from Satan, even if the person is not intentionally calling upon Satan. That is just MY opinion. It doesn't have to be anyone Else's.

However, to many other religions (particularly pagan religions), they do not view witchcraft as evil, but just as something natural. They believe that their actions create results, or are blessings from their gods.

So, all in all, your opinion on witchcraft depends on your religious views, I believe. Regardless, there ARE people who perform witchcraft though. However, it isn't "Harry Potter" kind of magic. For me, witchcraft is hooey, but that's based on my beliefs. I do not believe that human being have the power to perform magic, but that any magic is a result of the devil and demons. Again, this is a PERSONAL opinion, like you asked.

Luna: That BY FAR the most ridiculous thing I have EVER heard. Making tea is not witchcraft at ALL. Witchcraft is the act of knowingly attempted to conjure, perform magic, speak to the dead, perform spells, etc. Making tea is mixing an herb simply for nutritional purposes. Unless you are going to use that tea to perform a spell, there is nothing magical about it.

@TwistedT: I can see where you are coming from with your last comment. However, according to Abrahamic religions, witchcraft is based on performing your own personal spells and rituals to what they refer to as "false gods." Witchcraft in Christianity is referring to depending on either your own spells or by calling on false gods instead of God, which is why praying to God isn't considered witchcraft according to Christianity. I suppose that from a non-Christian standpoint, it would be, though.
