Witchcraft

They are generally called what they are: banishing, binding, shielding, hexing, etc.

____________

Protective spells are called protective spells, and can sometimes be called defensive magicks. Banishing, binding, shielding, hexing, etc are something completely different and separate.

A person could buy Thoth Tarot Cards from any dealer online such as Amazon or if they'd rather, there are specialty sites. One could also visit their local Tarot Card or Psychic Shop to see if they are in stock.

Like any other spiritual path, becoming a witch requires a bit of research and a genuine desire to follow the path.

Once you have gotten that far, it helps to find an ethical practitioner who is willing and able to help guide or instruct you on your path.

After that, it is just the studying, learning, practicing and being.

A Cauldron is used for many purposes. examples: potion making, and Fire magic

Potion Making: they are called ingredients

Fire Magick: they are called either ingredients or components but this depends on who ask

Horses into gold, dogs into gold, gold into diamonds, etc. etc.

If you're talking about the past, then people used to hate them. They accused everyone of being a witch. There were terrible trials to see if one was a witch. The accused were tied up, and dumped off a cliff into the sea or a river. If the person sunk and drowned, they were innocent. If they floated and/or drowned, they were guilty. So everyone died, regardless. They were objected to barbaric practices, even though said witch never intended harm to anyone or anything. (Part of the Pagan religion says that nature should be respected, and the well known 'the good that you do returns three times, but the bad that you do returns also three times'. The large majority of witches stay true to this but some hurt others because they think they are superior.) So, people used to loath witches and think they were unclean, sacrificed humans, worshipped the devil and unbelievably, commit incest. The public view has changed greatly and now they are largely accepted as part of equal society.

Hope this helped you :)

Because vaccume cleaners are too heavy!

Also to noisy

Answer: Witches don't physically fly on brooms, that is an old wives tale created by the Catholic church and mislead peasants to try and make sense of supernatural occurrences, or occurrences that couldn't be proven by any other means at the time.

==The Pagan Answer== Magic (also spelled "magick") is a natural force just like gravity, except that it can be manipulated by people. In this sense, it doesn't "come from" anywhere, it just is. People who do magic(k) are harnessing the magic(k)al energy that has always existed.

Wiccans live everywhere and anywhere people live - cities, towns, villages, rural areas. The term "Wiccan" is probably most common in Western Europe and North America, while Pagans and Neo-Pagans in other areas would have names and traditions according to their various cultures.

Why are other people strange? We are who we are, regardless of race, religion, creed, or etc. etc. {Besides maybe it's non-witch people who are strange, lol}

If you mean one, single book that all witches use, then no. If you mean books written by witches/pagans that have real spells in them, there are plenty of good books. Any books by the Farrars, Margot Adler, Gerald Gardner, Scott Cunningham, Ray Buckland, and Doreen Valentine are good to pick up.

I think it would be wise to bury the remants of any spell, whether it be love, prosperity, etc, etc. I think this because think of all the energy and intent you raised. You need to ground it out, so it's not overpowering, and so all of that is not lingering out there somewhere. AFter a love spell though, I generally bury my candles, i hope this helps, thanks for posting!

There are many variations of this name. Included among them are Alyssa, Elisa, Elyssa and Alicia.

First I want to ask you... do you have to be a doctor to try to do surgery? Well, the answer is "no", you don't have to be a doctor to do surgery, however without surgical knowledge, expertise in the field and proper medical stuudies you won't know which tools to use, why the tools are used in the way the are, or what to do if you accidentally slice open a blood vessel, or worse chop into a lung. The answer is that you shouldn't do surgery unless you know what you're doing. To experienced Witches the Craft is a serious art, not a palor game. Let me give you an example? Do you know which day in the current month is the best day to work manifestation spells? I do, irregardless of which month it is, but that's because I studied magickal correspondences and worked hard to memorize things. Things I couldn't remember, I have my Book of Shadows and Grimoire and yes even the world-wide web, and the local library for. The other question is why in your right mind would you even want to attempt this? What is the motivation behind your intention? A serious Witch knows that one's intention is the prime factor in determining whether or not a spell will "backfire" or work properly, and produce the desired results. To perform Witchcraft correctly you would have to understand the associations. But, one last thing... what exactly is a Witch, anyway? Well, I'll tell you a basic definition... a Witch is a person who studies and practices various forms of magick (in the form of witchraft) to influence changes in their lives and in the world. There are all sorts of Witches, but that is the most basic definition. If you dedicate yourself to the study of Witchcraft, you are a Witch. I know, this is not the answer you were looking for, but it is the harsh reality. Think really hard... would you really want to try witchcraft without fully understanding what it means to be a witch? If you think that through, and you can't come up with anything... think of it like this... would you really want to perform surgery on a patient without fully understanding what it means to be a doctor?

The director of the Witches of Eastwick was directed by George Miller. It was produced by Neil Canton, Jon Peters, and Peter Guber. The screenplay was by Micheal Cristofer.

when a man or a woman is is having a argument and later someone dies!!!

Women, who were the lower working class or widowed were often viewed as witches because they were seen as too independent, also some pagan ceremonies were seen as witchcraft.

Witchcraft & magic are as old as mankind. Anything, beyond your understanding or comprehension can be considered magic. A cell phone to a primitive is magic.

When mankind first started being self aware, we looked beyond ourselves and needed answers to things like, where does the sun go at night? How do we insure it will come back? How do we heal wounds and illnesses? How do we find food?

Eventually members of the group who discovered things, like which plants helped an upset stomach, where to find water, what the migration patterns of the local animals were and other things, became the ones others turned to for answers. These were the Wise Ones...

As we became more evolved the amount of knowledge expanded, and those with the answers learned a few tricks of their own.

If someone tells you a certain herb will cure your cut, you may or may not believe them, if they are well respected and do a little spell/prayer over the cut at the same time as using the herb, you tend to believe... Particularly if it works... you then tell others of the "power" of the Wise One... Eventually a name gets made, and expectation are raised...

It is a commonly accepted fact that your mind has a strong influence on your body... If you believe in something it has a better chance of working. the Wise Ones figured this out early on, so a little "showmanship" helped their reputation...

As spell/prayers/magic/ became standardized and passed on from generation to generation, the words became of equal importance to the practical application...

Magic became accepted as something that worked...

Science is today what magic once was, a practical, evolving set of standard results from repeated experimentation...

Even modern medicine can't tell us everything the mind is capable of, so some of us still believe in and practice Magic...

This is a complex question. Many elements are involved in casting a spell. You need an awakened will, a strong desire, a knowledge of herbs, correspondences and concentration, just to name a few.

Suppose you wanted to cast a love spell. If you are working with a European system, that often would mean calling upon a god or goddess of love to help. Aphrodite or Venus are very popular, and she has a long list of correspondences, including but not limited to: Roses, rose water, rose oil, violets and narcissi; seven rayed stars; the colors pink, red, green and purple; metals like gold and copper, minerals like malachite, gems like emeralds and rubies, and sweet smelling scents like rose, violet, lotus, musk and jasmine.

Advanced people don't need rituals, but ritual gives you a solid foundation. It takes practice to perform a ritual correctly. An excellent ritual to master is the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. Since I'm not a Christian, I don't place archangels in the quarters - I use deities instead. You should be flexible while being consistent.

No one can succeed in witchcraft unless he isn't bound by social constraints. When I did my love spell, I bought the used panties of a stripper to use in my ritual. Your own bodily fluids are powerful and can be used in ritual to consecrate tools such as candles or the above mentioned panties. You have to find a way to build the energy and momentum. This is often done through drumming and chanting. The energy is brought to a peak and then released. This is true of all spells. This is why simple three or four line rhymes by themselves are useless.

It is difficult to count the number of Witches out there, because people would not tell if they practice Witchcraft when there is a negative stigma against people who practice Witchcraft.

In North American Paganism (Wicca, Voudon, etc) are recognised religious paths and there are thousands of practitioners who are "out of the broom closet".

Wicca is a new age interpretation of ancient paganism (and not a very well thought out one). Though there are thousands of "practitioners", it isn't accurate to refer to them as witches, wether they call themselves that or not. There are also thousands of idiots that drink blood and skulk around in dark clothing pretending to be vampires, it doesn't make it true. Witchcraft DOES NOT EXIST, so there ARE NO WITCHES. Simply believing something doesn't make it true.

Being afflicted by Witchcraft means to be being harmed by a malevolent spell someone cast against you, your land, livestock, or something similar.

Being accused of Witchcraft means that someone has either told you to your face, or has told someone else that you are a Witch and are using magic, likely for a negative purpose, despite whether or not you actually were or weren't.

During the Witch Hysteria of Europe, people whose crops did not grow well were often said to be afflicted by an evil witchcraft spell. The owner of those crops then would often accuse someone they didn't like of Witchcraft and working magic to make his/her crops fail.

Man witched are called warlocks

In the Italian Witchcraft, Stregha, Lemon or an orange is used in both Black and White magic. A Lemon with white or brightly colourful pins pinned to it is considered as a lucky charm, where-as a lime with black headed pins pinned to it is used in black-magic.

In South Asian Pagan traditions and Hinduism, Lime is used for cleansing. A bowl of water with a lime cut in to two is used to sprinkle water from, for purification of the space. Few lime fruits and green-chilli are hung on a wire under vehicles to protect them from road accidents.
