How do you try a witch?

Answer 1

Well, first I would ask has this witch done anything to you to make you fear her? If she is a girl dressed up in goth and wearing a 6 1/2 " fake pentacle just for the fun of it and shock value? Then I would just roll my eyes and laugh at them. If you are truly looking to bring yourself protection from all things, carry rune stones or sprinkle some salt by your windows, doors, and entrances into your home.

You really need to let this person know that you have done something to ward them off because it is part what you put into a protection spell/charm/etc. and part what they perceive having been done. At least that is what my mentor taught me. In my experience what really scares a witch is Bigotry, Ignorance, Hatred, Mis-understanding and Mis-representation. However I think what you were asking was how to scare a witch away...

First be sure there is a witch. Not everyone "looking like a witch" is one, and more importantly, not everyone "claiming to be a witch" really is... there are people out there who call themselves witches for the "cool" factor, or to impress or scare others, that is not a witch. Second be sure there really is an ill-wish against you. If a real witch has ill-wished you, and that would be a rare thing as witches believe that what they send out will return to them three fold, then you will need to take action and the above suggestion is a good one, but does open you up to "doing witchcraft" yourself. If you are not Pagan and do not feel comfortable doing a spell yourself, then go to your own church and talk to someone there about a blessing. Do not run in claiming you are being attacked by a witch, this is not Salem... Also, check your own beliefs, a witch can not harm you unless you believe the witch can harm you.

If however you are just concerned because there is someone out there who is or claims to be a witch and you are uncomfortable with their attentions, you should take the initiative and speak to them directly... Witchcraft is not contagious, it does not rub off and simply sorting out the "difficulty" in a quiet, civilized and adult manner is usually the best path of action. I'm a witch myself, and I can confirm that intolerant and bigoted people really do make witches flee; however, I hope that is not the attitude you will choose. I wonder why you want to scare a witch away. Most witches, including those who follow the religion of Wicca, do not seek to hurt people. They have an ethical rule called the Wiccan Rede: "An it harm none, do what you will." This rule forbids the use of witchcraft to hex or manipulate others, except in cases of self-defense. Thus it is very unlikely that a witch will harm you if you don't harm him/her in the first place. If you are convinced that a person is a witch and wishes you harm, you should start by talking to them. Maybe there was just a misunderstanding. In fact, maybe that person is not even a witch at all (wearing a pentacle or having a goth look does NOT make anyone a witch; most real witches dress casually and go unnoticed). Should you be threatened by a real witch who does not uphold the Wiccan Rede, you can indeed sprinkle salt by your doors and windows to prevent bad energies from entering your home. You may also carry a spiritual symbol that is positive and meaningful to you (like a cross if you are Christian or David's Star if your are Jewish) to ward off harmful spells. However, those very basic protections may not completely block evil magick, and you may need to either ask good witches for help, or do some witchcraft yourself (like protective spells or calling on your deities, guardian angels or ancestors for protection). ONE QUICK THING One quick not on the things above. If the person is wishing ill intent then they are not a true witch for they do not follow the religion. They may still practice magic but does not make them a witch.

Answer 2

If you are referring to a person, and if that person does no harm to you, just don't get rid, they are also supposed to live freely like anyone else. If anyone cause any real threat to your freedom and wellbeing, inform the authorities. Witches usually does no harm to anyone. :-)

If you are referring to a demon or a ghost, clean the space, burn incense and play music. Do according to your religion to bless that environment.

Fictional witches, are believed to be able to transform into owls. Normal bullets won't hurt them. Crossed bullets (bullets with a cross etched into them) however, are said to cause pain or death to these fictional witches. This mythos, would have you believe, witches are no joke. They are portrayed as deadly, fearless, cold blooded creatures.

By the way, these are dead witches from centuries back. Evil, pure demonic evil, they are fast and fly at night. Mexico is a perfect place for witches to go.

The historical witches of the Witch hunts, tended to be single disenfranchised people of an area, that lived outside of the "grace" of the Christian Church. The Inquisitions targeted heretics of all sorts, including, but not restricted to those accused of witchcraft. Many of the accused were not in fact practitioner. The Inquisition killed uncountable numbers of people, by torture, burning, drowning, drawing & quartering, flogging, crushing, dismemberment, and many forms of death too horrific to contemplate.

Modern day, real witches, are ordinary people. A witch can be either male or female, there is no gender specific name for us. FYI the word warlock is of Christian origin and was a derogatory term for someone (again male or female) who had broken their oath with God.

We tend to follow one of many spiritual paths which are generally, but not always, nature based. There are witches who practice without the spirituality, however, there are not as many of that kind of witches out there.

We are human, and no more evil or malicious than any other person on the planet. We die the same way anyone else dies, and it is murder to kill us.

Step one: find someone who has few or no friends as your target. You don't want anyone spoiling your fun. Friendless old crones are best, for they can be easily captured for your purpose. Also, you want someone who has a working knowledge of gardening or herbalism. Step two: Publicly accuse the person of being a witch. Make up wild stories to back your claim, such as "I get itchy whenever s/he looks at me!" or "I saw him/her kissing the Devil's behind!" The stranger and darker the accusation, the better. Step three: This part you will have to do yourself, since witchcraft is not a crime in these enlightened days. Arrest the person and begin your interrogation/torture sessions. It is a well-known fact that most people will confess to anything if tortured long enough, even if they are innocent. Step four: As no judge in the land will hear your case, you will have to pass judgment on the person yourself. Keep in mind that this judgment is not legally binding, which means that you will have to carry out any sentences yourself. Some popular choices are: a. Hanging b. Burning at the stake (this also makes it easier to hide the body afterward) c. Dunking in the lake or river (this is supposedly a test to see if someone is a witch; if the person floats, s/he is guilty, but if s/he sinks, s/he may yet prove to be innocent, although dead) Step five: Carry out your sentence. Don't forget to hide the body! This message brought to you by a real witch, who dares you to try it.

Answer 5

The same way you would destroy any other person... real Witches are just people. You of course could try to get rid of me with a bucket of water, but I think a shotgun would be more effective. Keep in mind however, that in the U.SA. First Degree Murder is against the law and can get you anything from a hefty fine, to a lifetime in jail, to the electric chair. If you are writing a fantasy, you can get rid of the 'witch' in whichever way would support your story's universe. But make sure that your publisher classifies your book as "fiction"!

Answer 6

Why would you want to vanquish a witch? We're good people, vanish the haters out there instead (JOKING).
