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.

Everything is energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. Magic is a form of natural science that works with energies, understanding and changing them. “All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration and that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There’s no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and you are the imagination of yourself” Bill Hicks All matter is made from protons, neutrons and electrons - which in turn are made up of quarks - or vibration waves. We use magic to send out a vibrational signal to the universe to attract or repel energy depending on our desires. Of course we do this on a daily basis every single day through various means. Verbal - “Can you get me a cup of coffee honey” Written - well you’re reading this aren’t you. Non-verbal - Everyone remembers the ’stare of doom’ from an angry parent, dressing to impress, fragrancing the home to make it inviting etc. All of these methods are designed to elicit a response. When we cast a spell we are either sending a message e.g. healing, banishing - or we are looking to receive a desired response e.g. inspiration, love/friendship, prosperity etc. In both cases, a magic spell is designed to create a vibration that will result in the required effect. By using tools with a similar or complementary vibration we can produce a specific signal. An everyday example: If we went for a job interview we would wear smart clothes, choose a pleasant aftershave/perfume, apply neutral make-up and adopt a professional demeanour. In magic the most common tools that are utilised are herbs, crystals, rituals, the petitioning of deities, incense, oils and colours to name but a few. So how do we know these work? through thousands of years of experimentation, story telling and record keeping, this information has been passed from generation to generation. The simple truth is that if these tools did not work, then their use would not be remembered. Often referred to as correspondences, this information is now readily available in books and on the internet. Once the appropriate tools have been selected, they need to be used in a way that harnesses the personal power of the spell caster - the intent. (It’s no good making those preparations for the job interview if you don’t want the job!) Once the form of the spell has been decided and performed, it is then time to see what results your signal will bring you. There is generally no set time as to how long it will take for a spell to work - the signal may take a while to travel to it’s destination, or in some cases it may not be interpreted properly. For this reason it is important to keep records of your magical workings, you will find these notes to be useful for future reference and/or help you refine your techniques. (My husband makes bread without a written recipe and every loaf is different as he never writes the quantities down when he experiments) It is also important to remember the Law of Attraction i.e. like attracts like - any energy that you send out will eventually return to you, so think carefully before sending any destructive signals. T S Elliot put it perfectly when he said “Do I dare disturb the universe?” - before undertaking any magical act, ask yourself this question and if you are unsure then go back to the books, discuss the options with friends or forum members. Pay attention to your personal energy and intuition, when the time is right - send your message, and let the universe respond.
Advantages ad disadvantages of witchcraft?
The 3 fold rule applies to any type of spell cast. It means that anything that you send out will come back to the person casting the spell times three. That is the disadvantage of casting spells. The advantage is that you can make abnormal events happen by using energy in a specific way.
You have heard about this spell call the menstrual blood spell?
Menstral blood is sometimes called "Blood of the Moon" in Witchcraft. Menstral blood or Seman is used in various spells to give more power to the spell. There is no specific spell of menstrual blood. It is just an ingredient sometimes.
A witch bottle is a form of protection spell.
Items of protection:
broken bits of mirror - to send the misfortune back to the originator.

Items of what/who is being protected.
personal items (hair) from all living beings (including pets) in a house hold

How do you make the magic circle and triangle of the art?
Like anything magickal you have to have a diagram and purpose, without one to give you the all powerful magic(k) book or tome like myself.. you have to seek out a teacher...
after you make it that far, prepare for some rules and ritual workings before you get to the full design....
but magic(k) circles and triangles and geo designs are easy, learning how to use them and teach them, that's what requires more...
What do you do when a candle doesn't burn out in a spell?
Candles are a common component of many spells and rituals.
If the candle is a spell candle with a specific single use, you should allow the entire candle to burn out on its own. If you must leave the area, place it somewhere safe and fire proof. I have left candles to burn out in the bathtub (no water in it) when I had to leave.
If the candle is a spell candle, made with the expectation of relighting it, for example a seven-day prosperity spell, the candle is snuffed out, (do not blow it out) at the end of the allotted time of that segment of the spell.
If the candle is part of a ritual, for example: the elemental candles used when calling a dismissing the elements (quarters, directions) then the candle may be snuffed out when you dismiss the elemental.
If the candle is part of a ritual and used to invoke the deities then it should not be put out at the end of the ritual, but allowed to burn out on its own. In the case of large multi-use candles sometimes used for this purpose, you may snuff out the candle when you are dismantling the Altar after the ritual.

A senxtan is a mythological creature that obtained any type of magical power it ever discovers. They also can shapeshift into any type of monster they know of and the only way to kill them is to cut them up and set them on fire. They also specialize in witchcraft and wizardry, and are only bor3n 700 years after the last one dies, so they are considered extremely rare.
In the older times was there such things as witches?
Unquestionably, there were people who were believed to throw curses about. Whether that is really witchcraft is another question. There were also pagans, but pagans were not usually accused of being witches; they were objects of conversion.
Does a long pinky nail have anything to do with witchcraft?
No.
Being a life long practitioner of witchcraft, I have never in my many travels (in three countries) encountered any group who used a long pinky nail as a distinguishing mark.
I have met two practitioners and six non-practitioners who used it as a personal affectation.
There was a time, in the late sixties and early seventies, when a long pinky fingernail was used as a "coke spoon" by some people who indulged in cocaine use.
Many witches portrayed in books and movies are in fact what we would call monsters. What is important to remember here is that these characters are fictional and do not really exist.
There are real witches in the world. They are practitioners of a spiritual path that in some cases includes magic. These people are ordinary human beings and are in no way monsters.
Why was witchcraft often the explanation for illness?
People in previous centuries often blamed witches for illness, drought, violent weather and any blight or disease that destroyed livestock or crops. Before the Enlightenment, everything in nature was thought to be directly controlled by God or the Devil, along with demons, angels, witches, sorcerers and countless other kindly or hostile spirits. Even after the Enlightenment, few people were educated enough to understand how nature functioned and most people maintained their ancient superstitions. It was not only easy to label a widow or single woman "witch," but very often quite profitable, since the "witch's" property could be forfeited to the local magistrate or to the Church.
In a time when "germs" are unknown, personal hygiene is some what dubious, and medical treatment so primitive as to be nearly harmful to the patient, there needed to be something or someone to point a finger at as the cause.
People of the time were heavily influenced by the organized religions. When God is responsible for all good that comes, and the Devil is responsible for all bad things that occur, magic, witchcraft and witches were common scapegoats.
In some cases people who were marginalized: the extremely poor, widows, people with physical deformities, and other "undesirables" were accused as witches as a way to get rid of them.
Illness was seen to strike with no reason and it was easy to accuse someone than to wrap your mind around the idea of teeny tiny little "germs". Even if someone was to explain germs the people of the time would think germs were just some kind of magic.
There is no credible evidence to suggest that T.B. Joshua, the late Nigerian pastor and founder of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations, used magic. He was known for his controversial healing and prophetic practices, which many followers believed were manifestations of divine power. Critics, however, often labeled these practices as fraudulent or as tricks rather than true miracles. Ultimately, interpretations of his methods vary widely among supporters and detractors.
There are no real spells as there is no such thing as magic.
How do you do good witch craft?
The practice of magic is by definition, the manipulation of naturally occurring power by the mind and will of a practitioner. It is the ethics of the practitioner, in how they gather and use the power that determines how the magic is perceived. If you are an honest caring and ethical practitioner, who does not work for anyone without their express knowledge and permission, and who does not work in such a manner as to cause harm to others, then you are doing "good" witchcraft.

How do I write my book of shadows?
Use your book of shadows as a magickal diary - record in there the actions you take, rituals, spells, the results of these, magickal information you learn about. Use it to keep a note of anything you feel is important within your spiritual path. You can separate the different parts into Rituals, Spells, Seasonal Celebrations, Magickal Correspondences (oils, herbs, colours etc for use in specific circumstances), Notes, and so on.
