Witchcraft
This is the category where your questions about witches and witchcraft as a spiritual path should go. Based on an ancient shamanistic way of life, witchcraft is a spiritual system known as "The Craft of the Wise" and were a valuable part of villages and communities. Practitioners were the healers and leaders of their people. Modern witches follow the cycles of the sun, the moon and the seasons of the earth for guidance and knowledge. Most, but not all witches practice some form of magic in its true meaning.

How do you get black magic power myself?
You cannot.
Magic is not real.
A Pagan Perspective:
You can not get "powers" you already have them.
Magic comes from within and is the manipulation of the energy that is around you to bring about change.
Also, magic is truly neither black nor white, it's neutral in an of itself, it's the intent of the caster that is used to determine whether magic is black (bad) or white (good).
Do alivans wands really do magic?
Well... if you want to get techniqual wands don't magic, people do.
think of a wand as an extension of your own arm. this extension conducts the energy from your mind and body and points it in a specified direction.
When you say or think your chosen spell your are realeasing that energy.
The wand is nothing more that an antenna. It has no more magic than the witch who uses it.
A wand doesn't make you powerful. it's more or less a training tool.
Most people would probably answer no. But truth is anything & everything is possible... You just have to have the will power you can do & be anything you want to be, but it takes much practice.
What do you call a man who has magic powers?
The technical term is magician. Those with supernatural powers are wizards or sorcerors.
Various religions that practice "natural magic" have men called shamans or male witches (the same term as for females).
Is birthmarks a symbol of witches?
Not especially... but back in the dark days of witch hunting paranoia any bodily mark on someone accused of witchcraft was likely to be viewed as a "Devil's Mark" - "evidence" of familiarity with demons, practice of "dark arts" etc.. All nonsense, of course, but God help those accused of witchcraft who had birthmarks etc!
That stated, however, it is true that in modern Wiccan belief certain birthmarks may be significant. For example, it is believed that hereditary members of the Woodbane Clan may be identified by the "Athame" birthmark: a leaf or dagger blade shaped mark, usually red or reddish brown colour.
you cannot spot a witch, they are the same as everyone else.
A Real Witch's Answer
Being a witch is pretty much such an intrinsic part of your being it is very hard say "this" or "that" is how to know.
I have known many people who have come to witchcraft at various points in their lives. Some were born into a family tradition, and learned their craft at their mother's knee. Some of these people continued to practice, some moved on to other spiritual paths.
Others chose their spiritual path in their teens and twenties (some in their thirties and forties). They studied, and learned, found others of like mind or searched for a teacher (or "coven"), but they continued their learning throughout their lives.
I have even met several people who upon meeting a witch and frankly and openly talking with them have realized, they share so many of the same beliefs, ethics and concerns that they have been "witches" all their lives.
Contrary to what you may have read in fiction or seen in movies or on the TV, those of us who practice do not have smoke or flames shooting from our fingers, nor do we all wear a "uniform" look of clothing or jewelry.
Silly rituals aimed at the revelation of "theatrical" or "cinematic" effects are neither worthwhile nor very accurate.
We are more of less like everyone else... we just practice magic... and for the record, Magic is simply the manipulation of naturally occurring powers by the hand and will of an ethical practitioner.
It is difficult to spot a witch in public. We do not have a uniform, a required piece of jewelry, a secret hand-shake, a common hair-style or a sign on us.
It would also be inadvisable to assume from any outward clue that the person you are looking at is in fact a witch.
Just to confuse things further, not all practitioners of magic and/or witchcraft call or consider themselves witches. And not all witches follow the Wiccan spiritual path.
My best advice is to ask...
How do you remove a black magic done on photo of person?
by reversing the chantment on the person photo
Was England known for witchcraft?
The people of England practiced folk traditions that were developed over thousands of years, often employing natural things like rocks, seasons, moon cycles, herbs, candle ceremonies, and other ways of producing or influencing what they needed. When the Romans invaded, they percieved these practices as evil and wrong (based on the Holy Roman Catholic Church), and tried to forbid and wipe out the ancient pagan way of life and harmony with nature. There is now a renewed interest (several decades old) in those ancient ways, which is a style of spirituality much more tuned into the earth and universe than the modern Western religions. The Christian movement declared "witchcraft" as "black magic" out of fear and ignorance and efforts to control the people they wanted to conquer. "Witches" were what we also would call folk healers or medicine men/women, and "witchcraft" was the label for their methods of practicing. There seems to be some confusion here over druidism, witchcraft and the Roman Catholic Church. When Rome invaded Britain in AD43 the Roman Catholic Church did not exist. The Druids who occpuied much of Britain and Gaul were well organised, well educated and had their own schools. Like any religious group they held considerable power in their communities and are believed to have inspired and organised reistance to the invaders. However, what Rome really took exception to was the Druids liking for human sacrifice - and not small scale either, huge wicker figures were packed with victims and set on fire. At about the time of Boudicca's rebellion Roman troops had forced the Druids back to their stronghold on the isle of Anglesea and slaughterd them all. To get back to the original question - Yes, England was known for witchcraft. Between 1645-47 the appearnce of plague and the effects of the civil war and famine led to a spate of witchcraft accusations. These accusation then spiraled out of control. At this point, a man called Matthew Hopkins (the Witchfinder General) appeared and toured country identifying and prosecuting suspected witches. In excess of 500 victims are thought to have been hanged or died during their trials. Eventually, it seems that Hopkins was kidnapped by some village folk and subjected to his own favourite witch-test and thrown into a pond. The theory was that water rejected witches because they had rejected Baptism. Hopkins drowned! Unfortunately, witchcraft in England has never completely died out and many country areas (and some town parks) frequently show the remains of some ungodly nocturnal gathering!
Were there any witches in coven staffordshire?
If you are wondering about the name of the village, it has more to do with the etymology of the place than with Witchcraft. "Coven" derives from the Anglo-Saxon cofum, which means either 'a cove' or 'a hut'.
There may very well have been witches in Coven before however, and there certainly are now (the neo-pagan variety at least).
Even if you are not a wizard can you still say spells?
Yes, but they may not work because you are not a wizard. A couple of thing need clearing up here. A Wizard is a practitioner of the "scientific" aspects of magic such as Alchemy. A Witch practices general magic. The word Witch is non-gender specific, both men and women are witches. The sometimes used word "warlock" is a very derogatory term and means "oath-breaker", I don't recommend its use.
Then... Yes, anyone who is willing to learn the correct way can use spells. Your ability to make them work is more limited by the not knowing how than who you are.
If you are serious about following this path I recommend you do a LARGE amount of research. Skimming one book does not make you ready to cast a spell. You need to either find someone who "knows how" (and has a minimum of 10 years as a practitioner) to teach you or at least a year of research and a minimum of 10 books (by no less than 5 authors) completely read and understood before you should try anything on your own.
I advise you to check your books carefully, if they do not have a comprehensive chapter on the ethics of what you are doing, do not take much from them.
Does black magic work to secure a partner?
Yes, Black Magic can be used to secure a partner, but the union itself may not be happy or healthy.
How do you make a love potion if your in fourth grade?
Love potions are very complex to make. As a fourth-grader, you will probably find that it will be impossible to attempt it. I just started high school and still can't do it.
However, alternative ways to get someone to fall in love with you are:-smile at them
-offer them attention and help when needed -generally be nice to them
How do you spot a witch in the 21st century?
Witches abound in the world today. We are from most countries, cultures, and ethnic backgrounds. We do not all wear or carry any specific symbols, speak one particular language, or have a mark or sign upon us. We like most others who practice any spiritual path are simply human.
The best way to know if someone is a practitioner of Witchcraft is to ask.
What is the proper way to conduct a ceremony for a guy you want to meet?
Firstly, you are thinking of Wicca (this is incorrect - Wicca has to do with Nature worship and does not define the act of conducting ceremonies or rituals) not astrology... ok now to answer your question.. I'd advice going to your local Books-A-Million and buying a book on romantic witchcraft.. that will help..
A Pagan PerspectiveI should mention here and now that "love spells" do not work in the manner most people think they do. One does NOT cast a "spell" on someone, particularly if they are unaware of it. It is manipulative, unethical, unwise and completely against the the principles of witchcraft. If you really want to cast a love spell the ONLY person you can or should cast it on is yourself. You need to do some serious soul-searching and emotional house-cleaning in preparation for bringing someone into your life. Then you need to look into what you are looking for in a relationship (and I don't mean I want "so-and-so" to fall in love with me). Know what (not who) you want, what you need and what you will not accept from someone coming into your life. Then and only then are you ready to do perform your ritual.Or... how about you take extra care with your looks one day, screw up your courage, put a smile on your face and walk up to the man in question... Extend your hand and say "Hi, My name is..." and take it from there.
Can human transform into a wolf by the magic spells?
Humans can not transform into wolves via magic spells. Though there have been many stories of humans transforming into various animals over the centuries, it is folk lore only and a physical impossibility.
Original answer:
Spells and magic are fantasy. Pure fiction. They do not work in real life.
Do witches use birds for messages?
In movies and literature, yes. In reality, probably not very often. Its very hard to train homing pigeons, and takes a lot of time and effort.
How do witches and wizards get their power?
From a Christian point of view they get their powers from satan.
What does the clematis symbolize?
The Clematis or flowering vine, symbolizes ingenuity and mental beauty.
What do stereotypes have to do with witches?
Evil tendencies, ugly appearances, and unusual powers are what stereotypes have to do with witches. In reality, the word may refer to women who know a lot about behavior, emotions, health, and nature.
Any form of magick that involves the use of the element Water.
First off, I personally think that binding someone should be a last resort because you are basically binding a part of that person's personality. It would be the same as tying someone's arm behind their back. So I would only do it as a last resort. Having said that, I would hope that if someone was to be bound by a spell, no one would undo it. Obviously they were bound for a reason and undoing it could be dangerous. Yes, it could be done, but should it be done.
