Wicca, Wiccan Magick, Witchcraft, and Magic Spells

Q. Are Wicca and sorcery the same thing?

A. Some indicate yes, and the others indicate no I suppose that the only manner of directing this question is without risk to specify what some can consider the principal differences. Generally feeling of Wiccans freely to review various systems of belief, such as Celtic, norses, Essene, gnosy, or Shamanism, and then to mix together all points which “to feel” right in their own personal way. Pure sorcery on the one hand, can concentrate little more narrowly on employing Magick and ritual to work with the elementary and spiritual forces in kind. Without worrying, I feel that the differences are light Wicca fact and sorcery work to carry out balance and the harmony at nature and the individual.

Personally, I am a way of a Celtic prevalent matter of witch/Tantric. As time passes, me lucky find myself using more and more the wisdom and belief of other spiritual ways as a my knowledge and arrangement of them increases. Thus, when asked I you say to me am a witch, I Wiccan and perhaps Shaman part are also considered because I use and mix aspects of them all.

On the one hand, my ex-wife divides much the same belief concerning the creative force of the universe and of the life in harmony with nature but it Wiccan, witch or Shaman are not considered. Instead of that it prefers to be called Christian but not in the conventional direction while it follows the doctrines of the bible, of often polarized and tilted interpretation step of the church of it.

Q. Which them witch adore they?

A. There is a simple power defined as that or all, which is composed of all it created forever. This supreme force of energy does not reign above the universe, it IS the universe. Since the majority find it difficult to speak with or to invite a mass without face of divine energy, this supreme power is personified in the aspects male and female as the goddess and a God. This facilitates simply the concept so that the human spirit includes/understands and for connects itself to. Some take with this concept a measure further and employ real names, like Astarte, IS-IS, Odin, pan, Dianna, Cernunnos, etc, by calling the goddess and God. In the final analysis, it is a personal preference and which witch employs depends on what “” right for them smells individually.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. How to make the Christianity of sight of witch. Are the witches they Anti-Christian woman?

A. Not necessarily. Sorcery, in general, is very tolerant other religious sights, and does not engage by criticizing the belief of others, providing that their belief rape the basic tenant of the “evil none. ” The witches oppose the religions which try to remove the religious belief of others, or in each human right to seek the spirituality in their own manner. This is why there is a light contact strip between Wiccans, pagan, witch, and some Christians. Good number of them to feel they have exclusive rights to the divine one. We also have a strong scorn for those which employ the religion while an excuse to make the genocide of mass. “Extreme times” are a historical example clearly of a religious group trying to exert its philosophies and belief on others which employ extreme measurements.

Perhaps a manner simplified by surplus to describe our sight is this: To imagine beautiful pre in the forest, and are to them much of ways leading to this pre. It really is not essential which it way takes to you there to arrive, the important thing is that you arrive there without harming no matter whom or with anything along the manner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Can I follow the way of Wicca or sorcery and to be a Christian too?

A. Still, some indicate yes and others maintain that they are completely separate religions. I believe that if the glances one narrowly with the true lesson of Jesus with an opened heart, will find you some rigid popularizations. It is only when one takes interpretations literally distort sometimes frail those which badly included/understood the intention or had the practice the lesson to be appropriate for their own political agendas that one saw of the important differences.

Because a recluse is free for you to choose any way you wish, or any mixture which “feels” right you. The important thing is not to allow a name or a word to become a block of stumbling. It is the intention of your actions and spirituality these of the subjects at the end. I realize that it is a poor comparison; The groundnut butter and chocolate are two completely separate things. The fact remains, however, that they function the pretty once together mixed well. Finally you must do what “feels” right you…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Wiccan Rede indicates it badly “no, make like the will of ye. ” Does that mean witch can do something which they want and her OK if they justify the action with themselves?

A. An excellent question indeed! and the answer is none… The whole places of our system of belief are based on living in harmony with all the things which exist. This includes, but is not limited to the ground, the trees, the rivers, the lakes, the oceans, the air, and all the creatures of the ground, as well as of others without concern of the race, the color, the religion, or the sexual orientation.

My interpretation of Rede states me that the creative force of the universe gave me an interior voice, or with “conscience,” what states to me that is right or false. It is also this conscience which connects to me with the creator. By listening to this interior voice, (perhaps I should clarify here. No I hear voices, *smile* which it is rather something I feel that) I try to analyze my impulses and of the feelings to ensure them are not led by avarice, covetousness, desire, damage or anger. If they are, I try to put them from the point of view or to throw them all together. I then employ the good direction and the judgement in my actions and accepts the full responsibility for them. It is not always easy to make this, but I test. By maintaining these ideals of right and false first in my spirit, as well as to seek to obtain the harmony and balance with the alive nature and all things, I can make my the best follow Rede because I pass by my day.

It is not statement which the witches are perfect, never hurt anything, or make errors. We are always human. We realize of, or to try to realize of the return karmic of our actions, and to pay attention very not to send negative energy in the thought or the contract.

Yes, sometimes a witch will focus a form of energy towards somebody who needs clear-sighted a zap. This is only done however when a person uniformly does something very badly at the company and causes much evil to others. If and when a witch zap somebody, they make thus with full knowledge that it thereafter will return to them and there will be a price to pay according to the law of three. Periods ago when simply must make we a personal sacrifice for the good of the whole and support this weight.

Once confronted with this type of situation, I prefer to carry this person to the knowledge of the goddess, asking him that that justice is made according to it. In this way I do not focus negative energy towards the individual and thus AM less probably to suffer from the repercussions karmic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. If Wicca and sorcery are not bad, why wear you the black evening gowns?

A. It is another superstition without base and the witches carry the clothing and the evening gowns of each color. The black is the combination of all the colors and all the vibratory rates of light on the material plane. It is known it that the black is a very good conductive of energy, therefore the black of port simply helps of the witches to absorb normal energy to increase the power of their forms of thought. Personally, I carry out my work of naked Magickal. Gawd, there is an ugly visualization for the ya! LOL…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. OK, thus if Wicca and sorcery are not bad, why hold you the ritual one and ceremonies the night hidden in wood?

A. This practice has its history in a couple of various things, none of which to have anything to make with the evil… In the old world, particularly in the Celtic tribes, the day followed an entirely different program which it makes in modern times. The new day for them really started with laying down sun. It is also why the majority of the observances of the holidays were celebrated the evening before the day of real calendar. The second reason is that survival had an entirely different significance for these periods. Almost without exception, each one spent their hours of day tightening harvests, their herds, or engaged in their trade. Every hour of day was extrèmement important simply for reasons of survival.

OK, so that the care of catches of why we observed our rites the night for ancient periods, and several of the reasons are the same one during time of today. For one, the majority among us are occupied operation gaining all the day a life, thus the evening is the only case where we must seek the spiritual communion. Secondly, Wicca and sorcery are always religions mainly badly included/understood and we are still persecuted for our belief. Another reason which is important for me, and probably for others is as well as I feel a special proximity with the goddess and God the night. Yes I can, and, to appreciate the mountains and the meadows during the day, or a sunrise and one to lay down sun, but I realize really more of the skies and the great extent of the universe the night, thus him feel just marks for me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Which form the practice of sorcery take?

A. The form and the context change group with the group, and between each one ritual, and can run the range of the refined ceremony to the spontaneous ritual to the simple meditation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. How do you see the goddess and God?

A. Wiccans that there are male aspects females/with that or all and without union and balance of these two aspects, nothing believes can exist. See before Temps had or read the answer to call above into question the number two still for more perspicacity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Do all the witch practise they them religion the same manner?

A. Yes and never. Wicca is a strongly individualistic religion. Moreover, the number of different sects in the trade can give the impression which two groups do not practise the same manner. Although the practices can change, the majority of the traditions have many similarities, such as the operation of the magick and a respect for nature. The majority of the witches find enough common ground for the mutual support and the productive network management in all the community of trade.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Is sorcery a worship?

A. Not. The worships are groups which trade a direction of hello and to belong for the capacity to think for. They are delivered to the homage or the worship exaggerated (the dictionary of Webster), usually of a terrestrial chief of a certain kind. If you know a true witch, you will come quickly to find the term “worship” could not apply to us. The majority of Wiccans, witches and pagan come to the trade individually the reading and as a communicant with nature. They often will remain solitary in their belief but other will also find the people similar to celebrate the seasonal cycles or the monthly moons with. The witches are extremely individualistic, self-sufficing and defend the line of the free will without hesitation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Do the witches have they a bible?

A. Not. A bible is supposedly the word of a deity indicated by a prophet. Sorcery is a pagan people-religion of a personal experiment. Sorcery in old time was more or less identical that the belief of Essenes, of Gnostics, druids, and of much of other religions. The lesson was passed length by word spoken by long periods about the instruction face to face with elder about the trade. This approach was adopted because the power and knowledge could be deceived in the false hands. Consequently, by employing only the spoken word, the old Masters could ensure those which wished to follow the way had a true arrangement and their hearts were in the good place while their knowledge of the mysteries developed. Unfortunately, when the medieval church began its attempts to convert and eliminate the rival systems from belief, the professors were killed completely or hid having for result most of ancient knowledge being lost.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. If the witches do not have a bible, that do you employ?

A. The majority of the modern witches keep a book of the shades, (BOS) or Black book, which are rather individuals book of work, newspaper, or private diary, signicatif with the person who keeps it. This book contains ritual the, discovered ones, orthography, poetry, knowledge of grass, subsistence etc Covens almost always a similar book of group. I am not exactly sure how the “named book of the shades” came to be, but I would suppose that this also ties in extreme times when the church started to eliminate all the texts with the disciples from the old manners. The writings which existed were more than were taken in the shades and probably hidden with the survivors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. the tradition of word is employed completely often. Which is the exact significance of this?

A. Here the tradition of word is connected to the belief of a specific geographical area such as Celtic, Germanic, the norses, etc, and is sometimes broken up into other subsets. Primarily it is more or less similar which variety of denominations seen in Christianity, such as the methodist, the Mormon or the catholic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Do witches cast they spells they?

A. Some make and the others not. Spellwork should never be the center to follow this way and those which seek our manners only for this purpose are very badly directed. A charm is a ritual formula, or series of stages, to direct psychic energy to achieve a desired end. This energy is drawn from the ground using the elementals, concentrated and sent to the world to achieve a positive goal. Since sorcery teaches that that which one sent triple is turned over, the witches very pay attention never not to send harmful energy négligemment. The Christian word for this is “prayer”. The only true difference is that the witches also call the assistance of the guides of spirit, of familiar or other elementary energies to add the force to the process as well as to use the tools ritual.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Do the witches adore they to it devil?

A. Not. Satan, or the devil, absolutely does not have any place in Wicca or sorcery. The worship of Satan is the practice of profaning Christian symbolism and is thus a Christian heresy, rather than a pagan religion. The goddess and God of the witches are by no means connected to the satanic practices. Satan, or the devil, is a Christian creation and they are more than the welcome to keep it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Are witches they only women?

A. Not, although the women seem to prevail in the trade overall. In fact, some traditions have only experts of women, just as of others only men have. A male witch is called simply a witch, never a magician and one considers it an insult to call a male witch “Warlock”. The word “Warlock” means really the “breaker of oath”. Some traditions of Wicca separate between the male female/. The word “Wicce” pronounced (Wik-kay) indicates a female witch and “Wicca” pronounced (Wik-kah) indicates a male witch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. How the witches look at they to it sex?

A. The sex belongs to nature and crowned to the deity and the witches. Just like each one differently, we think that it is marvellous. The great rite at Beltane is a notation symbolic of the union between the goddess and God having for result the creation of all that exists. Very few or not traditions engage in the sex because part of rites of group and there are not any orgy during the ritual. Many couples which were chosen, and follow the way jointly, employ the magick sex in their rites and ritual deprived, however. It east suggest the division of the body deeply, of the spirit and of the heart which sticks them together more narrowly than anything else can.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Which the goal to carry out Skyclad ceremonies?

A. The skyclad term means “plated only by the sky”. Not all the witches carry out the skyclad the ritual one, but there are those which believe that the absence of clothing makes it possible energy to transfer to and from them more freely. Many is smelled simply more close to the goddess and God while in their normal form without fasteners of human technology, insecurities or inhibitions socially delayed concerning the human form. Many wears an evening gown or another clothing makes normal materials while taking part in the activities of group and go skyclad only by observing rites alone or with their companion. Without worrying, the skyclad going during the ritual is by no means a sex act, it is deeply spiritual for those which “to choose” to make thus.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Is sorcery a religion?

A. Yes, sorcery is a religion based by nature and one identified it as such in the United States and Canada. In the United States, Wicca has the total identification like religion and is granted all the lines as such under the constitution. The American dictionary of heritage defines the religion as “a belief inside and veneration for a supernatural power identified as the creator and a governor of the universe”. So much yes, it qualifies as such. Our definition differs slightly in that with us, the creator of the universe EAST the universe. Sorcery, or Wicca, is not something which can be followed time to other or when it is convenient or we need or want something. It is an attachment made with nature, the deity and yourself. It is a way of life, and bus such are conscious for us of balance between ourselves and all the things in the universe constantly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. How the witches look at they to it dead?

A. Much witch believes in reincarnation and Summerland. After going beyond above, Summerland is where the spirit waits to be turned over in a new physical form. We do not believe in an absolute sky or the hell where the spirit spends eternity like reward or punishment for those of the terrestrial actions.
