A lot of witchcraft is nature based, so yes, insects can be involved with it.

Yes. "Witchcraft" is nothing more than using the powers of the mind to manifest your desires in reality. The ancient people who worshiped the old gods (Zeus, Amon Ra, Odin, Thor, Aphrodite, etc.) knew this well, since their lives were based upon nature. There were many deities who instructed mankind on the ways of witchcraft.

Christianity turned these original gods into the "Demons of Hell" and made witchcraft "evil" in order to gain complete control of society and scare people away from this ancient knowledge.

Yes, anyone can do it too.

You can be a Christian witch if you want to!

Witchcraft today is mainly associated with the religion of Wicca.

But a wiccan doesn't have to be a witch and a witch doesn't have to be a wiccan.

Witches are very different from how they are commercialized.

Blessed be.

No, the Tarot cards are a deck of cards originally designed in the 15th century for playing a trick taking card game played mainly in European countries. Tarot cards began to be used in divination or tarot reading during the 18th century.

There is no magic involved and every one of us has the ability to do this. Most of us have to develop it, but it is there in each of us.

Witches do not have a big sign on them, so most likely, most people have encountered at the very least one at sometime in their life.

what powers do witches have ?????????

i need to know for my humanities work at school ????

witches have elments for power eg:

earth they can bring a flower slightly back to life

fire they can warm things up and create a candle in their hand

wind make it windier if the concentrate and use a windball

ice make something colder

all they can send tremors and gain eachothers powers.

they can all do spells like binding and levatation but only with practice they can do many other spells too.

Yes anyone can be a Wiccan you do not have to be a blood relative of another Wiccan! Anyone can join Wicca! You just have to follow some rules just like a christian! Satan does not exist in the religion Wicca! I just joined Wicca 3 days ago(it is 12/5/09 now) that is how I know you can. Plus I have been searching the internet since I became a Wiccan and everything said that "anyone can be a Wiccan."

Well traditionally a witch is supposed to be a master of the black magic and able to do things a normal being cannot. Using the elements as well as making those often dangerous potions seem to be their strengths. I also believe they are thought to live forever as they have ways of making themselves young each time they believe themselves to be "ugly"

The stereotype of a "witch" on a broom is not a realistic one. Levitation is not easy, and not common.

There are a couple of possible explanations for the misconception however.

Witches at one time were thought to be women, often herbal healers who lived without the support/protection of a husband (either widows, or spinsters). In the times that these ideas formed a woman was closely associated with various forms of housework (sweeping - therefore brooms became one of the symbols). It is possible that there was a minor truth in this, as many practitioners of magic used (and still do) a staff or wand to channel power... it is easy enough to disguise a staff in a broom.

The idea of "flying" may have its origin in the practice of astral projection. The ability to "send" your astral self (kind of like a soul) elsewhere, either on this plain or on higher plains. There are old recipes for "flying ointment" that include hallucinogens, and mind altering plant substances.

Modern Witches do not actually "fly" on brooms, but some of us do practice astral projection, without the "flying ointment".

I'm fining out that it is! Don't do it.. Follow Jesus, I was huge into zodiac before I was saved. Just one of the many things Jesus Christ has redeemed me of...

Between June and September, in 1692, in Salem Mass, 19 people were hung on the charge of Witchcraft. They were accused of Witchcraft. They were not the ones that did the accusing.

Giles Corey was pressed death by stones for not pleading guilty to the charge of Witchcraft. Other people died while imprisoned.

Because of the understanding of the Universe and how it works.

Magic offers great knowledge and power to and it is real and practiced from the begin of the world by humans.

It gives you the power of changing things and have power over the elements.

If you want to start learning, you can but occult books and start chatting with people of similar interest.

It is suggested to stay away from black magic.

There is no age limit. I personally have been learning the craft as long as I can remember. I started learning from my grandmother and my shaman before I could read, I have been studying, on my own and with several teachers, since my eighth year, practicing, with others and eventually on my own, since my tenth year, teaching for thirty years, and a high priestess for a circle for more than 15 years. In that time I have encountered people who have come to the craft from a very earl age to sometime in their 60s, so as I said, there is no age limit.

Correction for the one below. He or she speaks of Wiccans; not witches. Real witches aren't all that different. We're naturally great at poetry, but we don't speak in hymns. Hmm... what else... some witches are extremely lazy.

Witches do all the things an average person would do. Apart from that witches celebrate the cycles of nature.

Among Witches there are special greetings. Some of them are "Merry Meet!", "Blessed Be!", "Brightest Blessings", "Love and Light" and so many...

It wasn't. There is absolutely no connection.

The Christian faith pressed that if you worshiped any other religion than Christianity, you were a pawn, follower, and worshiper of Satan.

It can be very difficult to make a wand, but if you don't want there to be side affects or any left over power from other owners, you probably shouldn't use someone else's, and making one will be your best strategy. It doesn't particularly matter in what order you do these steps, just complete the process in whatever way seems fit.

You will need:

a live tree (you don't have to own the tree, it can be in a park or something)

a bowl of water

scissors, or something to cut off a branch with

a book

a pen

a knife (for whittling it down)

Process:

ALL DONE AT NIGHTTIME

Cut off a stick from the tree about as long as your forearm (and hand).

Soak the stick in the bowl of water over-day.

The next night: write one NOUN (person, place, thing, or idea) in the book, something cool like "melody", "raven", "blue moon", something that seems magical to you. Do not write "magic".

The next night, do the same thing, until you have enough words that, if written the long way on the stick, will take up the space from end-to-end.

The NIGHT AFTER you have enough words, whittle the stick so it is skinnier and as long as your forearm (not including your hand). Write the words on BOTH SIDES of the stick, so they will fit on its newly-shortened form.

Burn the page on which you have written the words on in the book, and slightly singe the tip of the stick with the SAME FLAME (heehee, it rhymes).

Lay the wand on top of the book, and leave it outside in a place that seems magical to you (and where no one can get to it).

The next night, it will be ready!

No. Witchcraft is not aganist christianity or God but many christans are against it.

== == * People who make money from "black magic" such as the late Alister Crowley may claim to do things like that, but aside from being publicity hounds or being deranged, they have no reason to make such claims. == == * None that I'm aware of. That stuff exists only in books, movies, and perhaps the imaginations of twisted people. I know movies such as Freaky Friday portray people switching bodies, but that is solely for entertainment purposes, not to show you how to do magic. There's no proof of any real people switching bodies with each other. = = * We mortal humans actually know diddly with "beyond" and what one's mind and body is capable of doing and because we can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exists, but in this case I would have to say no. In our minds we can became someone other than ourselves, but not body-wise. However, what we have termed as "black magic" does exist in many countries and can be a great source of evil if misused (which it usually is.) == == * Yes, certain black magicians can switch bodies with other people and also allow you to switch bodies with somebody else. It is also has some connections with VOODOO SPELLS. It is also possible with true deep love, and quantum physics: http://fullbodytransplant.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/the-full-body-transplant-experience/ == == * There's a tantric technique called "drong jug" (part of the six yoga's of Naropa) which is concerned with the transferal of consciousness into living or dead bodies. == == * Indeed there is but only those within the vampiric court can know. == == * I've never seen or felt or been switched to someone elses body, but magic.. probably is because I highly doubt that our world is just plain with no magic in the world. 'Black Magic" is different, but I think that it depends if your religion or culture believes in it. There were some stories or tales about body switching but that might just be a fib. I honestly am scared to try any spells, just to be on the safe side. If you truly want to try something as dangerous as that then go ahead. But remember make sure you have a spell to switch you back!

Prosperity spells do exist and work, however, it is the gods that decide how they will send you your prosperity. A lottery win is just one of thousands of ways they can and do cause the spells to manifest.

It is my experience that the harder you try to "force" a single solution (ie. a lottery win) the less likely it is to manifest.

If you want to use an ethical spell for prosperity, there are dozens, they are all much more likely to be successful than a specific (and somewhat less ethical) spell for a lottery win. Remember, the gods tend to help those who help themselves... and a lottery win is more of a serendipitous occurrence than a solution to a monetary problem.

Gardnerian Wicca - Gerald B Gardner Alexandrian Wicca - Alex Sanders Seax Wicca - Raymond Buckland These are the three oldest "Traditions" of Wicca.
