Witchcraft

A witch's cackle is often spelled as "hee-hee-hee" or "ha-ha-ha," capturing the high-pitched, mischievous sound associated with witches in folklore. Some might also write it as "cackle" to emphasize the sharp, contagious nature of the laugh. Ultimately, the spelling can vary based on the context and the desired effect in writing.

The age of the Grand High Witch is not explicitly stated in Roald Dahl's book "The Witches." The Grand High Witch is depicted as a powerful and ancient figure, but her exact age is left ambiguous in the text. It is more important to focus on her character traits and actions rather than her specific age.

Oh, dude, the Key of Solomon is like a 14th-century grimoire full of magical rituals and symbols. Some people think it's bad witchcraft because it involves summoning spirits and stuff, but others see it as just a historical curiosity. So, like, whether it's good or bad really depends on how you feel about summoning spirits and ancient magic spells.

Oh, dude, a male term for crone would be... well, there isn't really a direct male equivalent. I mean, you could say "old man," but that's not quite the same vibe, you know? It's like trying to find a vegan option at a steakhouse – technically possible, but why bother?

It is unknown if magic really exists or doesn't. The question remains a mystery; depending on your religion (like for example, Christians believe magic is unrealistic). Although, Wiccans are real and are like witch-like woman who perform rituals upon the forces of nature, yes Wicca is a religion and those who believe in it believe in magic by altering the forces of life to create the universal prosper of the world. Magic is known to be 'paranormal and/or supernatural' but it is really a mystery.

There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of "black magic mooroo spells." In various cultures, "black magic" refers to harmful or malevolent magical practices. If someone believes they are under the influence of such a spell, it may be due to psychological or emotional factors rather than supernatural forces. It is important to seek support from mental health professionals or trusted advisors to address any concerns.

Since 2000, "The Electric Witch" has been the trademark/service mark of a licensed tarot card reading business and witchcraft community.

There is no such thing as an "Electric Witch" unless it refers to Sheila O'Sullivan, the proprietor of The Electric Witch...and yes, that would be me. ;)

I chose the name because I wanted to denote that I was a witch in the contemporary online world and I liked the line from that old song, "sparks fly from her fingertips". LOL.

Over the years some confusion arose about this because of the similarity of the words Electric and Eclectic and some who are new to to the Craft mistakenly think that they are "Electric Witches" when, in fact, they are "Eclectic Witches" as the user above explained. :)

Fwiw, I too am an eclectic witch and draw from many different magickal traditions, including brujaria and hoodoo and worship Gods and Goddesses from several pantheons.

This depends entirely on the witch. If he or she are interested in herbal magical practices, they may own a mortar and pestle, censer, charcoal blocks, herbs and essential oils, and other things they'll need like books about herb and essential oils.

A witch who is called to stones and crystals may have a large stone and gem collection whereas a witch called to scrying and divination may own a pendulum, runes, and Tarot cards.

There are no 'set' accessories; if you don't have one thing or another, it doesn't mean you aren't a witch. You can have whatever pleases you and works best.

They also have hats and broomsticks!

To the above - Most people have hats of various kinds, not just witches, and most witches call a broom a besom.

Our science still can not accept that God is ruler of this world. They think that humans' ancestors were apes so this my answer. (Actually they believe humans and apes are descended from a common ancestor, they're more like distant cousins than they are great great grandparents) While science does not recognize witchcraft and/or sorcery as having scientific basis science itself has it roots in what was once labeled witchcraft and/or sorcery. Midwives evolving into obstetrics, witches brews in to pharmacology or sorcerers studying the heavens to astronomy just to name a few. ALSO: Some branches of science study and document what you might call witchcraft and sorcery (primarily in isolated non-technological tribal cultures). They have found evidence they cannot explain but science has yet to explain or prove even an infintessimal fraction of causal relationships in our known universe. Science is the "objective" study of what we percieve to be reality, it is therefore limited in its study of practices in which the mechanism of causality takes place on a level of reality we cannot see, touch, smell, hear... ALSO: There are some scientific theories about how magick (this is Wiccan spelling) is performed. Many people have a true gift to effect physical events by the power if their mind. This is commonly known as telekinesis. Scientific studies are numerous, attempting to discover how these people are able to harness this power. The majority of witnesses to such psychic phenomenon report feeling the air temperature decrease significantly. It is thought that the person makes use of heat molecules in the air by condensing them, and then using that energy to move objects. Instances of poltergeists are sometimes thought to be the working of this power. It is not widely accepted in the scientific community, however, that these incredible abilities are indeed fact due to the difficulty in monitoring by conventional scientific means and equipment. According to quantum physics and quantum mechanics, all matter is nothing more than trapped energy. Therefore, it stands to reason that if thought takes energy, then by thinking or "knowing" that certain changes can be or have been made, it is possible to make those changes. And that, underneath all the ceremony, is the basis of magick. The mind is the key. The tools are just playthings for your subconscious.

Probably because Winchester never changed the Model number except by dropping the '18' around 1915. Sort of like having a Ford Mustang. A 1965 model and a 2005 model are both Mustangs, but they're not the same.

I believe you are referring to a broom. However, it should be noted that this is a myth, one that goes back to the middle ages. It was believed back then that witches had magical brooms that they used to cast spells and to spread magical potions throughout an environment (such as in a room, or even onto a person's body). There is no credible evidence that women who practiced witchcraft actually rode brooms, but people who were frightened of witches came to believe these women were capable of levitating and flying through the air.

You may notice factors like feeling unusually drained, experiencing recurrent nightmares, or sensing a sudden shift in emotions or behavior. A sudden string of bad luck or unusual occurrences could also indicate that a spell has been cast on you. Consulting with a practitioner skilled in spiritual matters can help identify and address any potential spells.

When witch- hunting in Europe was at its height, all of these were thought to be signs of being a witch. Having a mole or mark on your body, owning a black cat, talking to yourself, talking to animals, spinning around, having red hair or freckles, and having unusual eyes. As you can see, few people were safe!

Actually, as long as you believe in and are focused on the spell and the power of magick you can cast a spell...

There are spells you can find online with detailed instructions. Try Google searching things like witchcraft. Most things you could want to cast a spell for can be found online. I also recommend finding pagan or Wiccan forums.

Aslan could breathe life, make people feel braver and stronger, and could heal. The witch would freeze people, manipulate them, and would do them harm. The witch left the land under ice and snow. Aslan made it green and grow.

Calming someone down is usually a process of removing the triggers which cause the distress followed by allowing the mind of the individual to relieve stress and regain emotional control. How to do this very much depends on the situation, but a good few steps could be:

1. Someone is in distress, establish where the stress is coming from, if the stress is caused by the current situation, take someone out of that situation into a calm environment (with as little distractions as possible).

2. Tell someone you are there to help them and that they are safe. If you have any relevant training or experience, say so (for instance: "I'm a nurse" or "I've been through this as well" or "I've had a first aid training").

3. Ask questions. Let someone ventilate what they feel, do not judge them or the situation, and certainly avoid mischaracterizing the significance of the situation to the individual. Set your personal beliefs and rationality aside and allow the person to empty their thoughts on the situation which caused the distress - but make sure you don't get emotional yourself or exacerbate things otherwise.

4. Arrange for any professional or additional help that may be needed, communicate this and everything else you do with the individual you are helping (keep them in the loop).

5. Ask what the person needs at this moment and in the future to avoid or cope with the situation. Help them find solutions by offering your own (but do not push them!) and exploring (through questions) what caused the situation to occur.

6. When the initial distress is gone and the situation is under control, subtly move the mind to other less heavy subjects. Small talk is good, but many people will appreciate silence as well. Don't be afraid to allow the previous happening to come up again, if it does, clearly the individual isn't done ventilating on it.

Some techniques on getting people to calm down are breathing exercises and physical exercises. Both work well when the issue is not so much a mentally stressful situation but rather an overload of input, or something like hyperventilation. In those cases it isn't necessary to ventilate the mental strain of a particular situation, but just to get the mind off of whatever it is that is causing the distress and to calm down the body.

I wouldn't say witches have "dealings" with anyone. More that they are one with nature, have respect for animals, reverance toward their chosen gods/goddesses, and love for fellow man.

Unless they are into some illegal stuff, then that's none of my buisness.

No. There are both Men and Woman who are Witches.

No, there is no evidence to support the existence of black magic in pyramids. Pyramids were built by ancient civilizations for various purposes, such as tombs or religious structures, and do not possess any inherent mystical or supernatural powers.

We don't have any particular skin problems that are different from what I reckon you'd call "people." Witches are people as well, and we're not all covered with acne that would make a cartoon witch scream, and we're not all short, bulky people with pointy hats and long noses.

This question does not have a clear answer, if one is a worshipper of Satan (s)he could still do whatever they feel like to do, as most of the humans normally do. Another things is depending on the Church/culture you worship Satan in/with. For example Satanism described by Anton Szandor Lavey (Satanic church) is ment to be an ideology. Of course it has rules and holidays and certain ideas. But one can not clearly state how people perceive ideas and the written words, nor how they respond to it.

Black Magic is a misnomer, magic has no polarity, it is simply power.

There are two mistaken but common usages for the term "black magic".

-The first is any use of unexplainable energies seen to have "supernatural" basis, and believed by some to "come from the Devil" or be "the Devil's work".

This a religious prejudice, and patently false. Most of the people practicing the Craft are Pagans, followers of any one of a large number of spiritual paths that include magic in their lives. None of them believe in the "Devil", he is an entity of the Abrahamic religions.

-The second is in reference to any "harmful" use of magic.

Witches like everyone else in the world are human and subject to all the good, bad and indifferent motivations of the rest of humankind.

An ethical practitioner spends a large amount of his/her time checking and rechecking the motivation behind their use of magic. We all make mistakes, but at least with an ethical practitioner of magic, you can be certain we take full responsibility for our actions.

No one truly knows that answer. It's known to go back as far as words were written and spoken. The term witchcraft, however, came from the Celtic word "Wicca."

A Point of View : The greatest challenge to the churches that ran society was an increase in knowledge, Ironically brought about by its own position as the bearer of the knowledge of man. The results of enlightenment with all of its bumps and warts so to speak would eventually topple the life and death hold that it had over the people most of whom were illiterate and completely uneducated. So dedicated was the Catholic church to the ignorance of the ordinary man that it did its mass in Latin to make sure that there was a minimum amount of thought. There are however people in every society Both male and female that stand out Either through their ability to deal with the philosophical implication of an argument or the ability to see nature for what it is ie, the Earth revolves around the Sun. or any number of understandings about the mathematical and scientific order of things. There is a fact of life and that is that in any powerful organization the hardest nut ends up at the top of the heap, and they fear the truth. They depend on ignorance for their continued authority. So those that would oppose the church was marked a heretic or witch. So I suppose the mark of the witch would be closely associated with one that wishes to find a the path to enlightenment. The basis for the classic "witch hunts" were to purge the "church" of those that did acts that the church did not condone. These acts were predicated on the verse in Deuteronomy that reads... De 18:10 "There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, Now the "witchcraft" translation that was common among the English of the 1500's was not the same thing that the Hebrew word means. The Hebrew word means a "mediums" so popular a couple of years back..those who commune with the dead. Wicca today is more of a nature worship, complete with it's own set of rituals and solomn events. This "mark of the witch" is superstition developed by the hierarchy of the Church for their own purposes. There is no physical mark distinguishable on the practitioners of Wicca.
