well uh... lemme think here... Maybe it could be because "spells" don't actually do anything?
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against it--like somebody else already said, it's more about awakening yourself to reality than anything else, like Buddhism. Though, I am studying (not seriously, just reading up on it and doing a bit of meditation) Buddhism, and according to what I have read, it isn't considered a religion by those who practice it at all. It's more of a philosophy. Just wanted to clear that up as long as we're discussing religion 😉
And Wicca is more of a "real" religion than any of those creepy "Christian" cults...

By the way, watch out if Force sees this thread

yea people are afraid of it b/c we used to kill witches..thats why

They used to call every woman with a weight under 90 lbs a witch and they used to burn them alive.

I could go on and on about how they used to kill witches...

They used to put 'em on one side of a big scale with the two volumes of the Plymouth bible, which is huge, on the other side, and if they weighed less, they were a witch
They also tied them up and threw them in ponds if they floated they were a witch ("clean water rejects evil"😉 if they sank they weren't and they just let them drown that's got to be about the stupidest thing I've ever heard
They put these nasty looking metal masks on that pried a person's mouth open then they'd pour hot stuff down their throats
And a lot more mean stuff that I'm too lazy to type

From a genuinely biblical Christian perspective, God died for the sins of all mankind--to very much include the sins of witches. What God says on witchcraft is that it is a very grave sin--really, the sin of rebellion. For us, mankind in general, to sin is to really usurp God's natural position as Lord over our own lives and to try to live without Him and His wisdom, goodness, purity, life, etc... and to do so means loss of fellowship with Our loving creator. To think that we are exempt from sin is to contradict the way God Himself really does look at us.

But there is hope. And that hope from the escape of sin lies in accepting the punishment Jesus, God's only begotten son, bore on the cross for us 2,000 years ago. By freely accepting that punishment, He provided a way for sinful man to finally stand before God--redeemed from a life of choosing to live without God.

Now, when you find in Christian history some brief examples of people taking matters into their own hands and playing "God," I submit that they didn't really understand the loving message of the cross. The Salem Witch Trials and a few of the persecutions done by "believers" over the ages are easily explained by this fact that they weren't practicing the gospel--at least not the gospel that's described in the Bible. What people commonly attack as "Christian" really isn't Christian at all... And you can be sure that God is grieved over it more than we are.

No, my friends, God Almighty loves witches. He loved (and continues to love) them so much that He paid the price for their sins... and if they ask Him into their hearts, He will forgive them and call them His very own sons and daughters. He came to set free the captives and to deliver those in bondage. He is not a Lady, and He is not a Lord... He is The Lord and There is only One God. He cares for us and He loves us with a purer love than we can ever know. I thank Him for that and for His everlasting grace and mercy.

if it were a hundred years ago I wouldnt get burned 😱 😄

We have found a witch. May we burn her?

Go on lets, I'll get the marshmallow.

💃 yay!

marshmallows 😱 I'm in 👿

and I find nothing wrong with Witch Craft as long as it doesn't bother me, what people do on their own time is their business, if they can live with themselves, and don't harm others then so be it 😄

bjladd...In the middle agaes, King James took the Bible and had it translated the way he wanted it, so who's to say that the bible you read is right? I believe in god, and witches believe in god.

Did you know that Mary Magdalene WAS NOT a temple prostistute? She was running a temple to the goddess, who is "the lady" in Wicca/witchcraft. The men of the time wanted the lady removed, and that's why we all have the picture of god as being a man. Also...In genesis, it says Cain slew Abel and then went to land of Nod and got married. If Adam and Eve were the first people, who did Cain marry and elope with? We know he had kids, and we also know through genetics that if it has been inbred, we would all be deformed. Also, it has been proven that gorillas perform funeral rites. If they can't possibly read the bible, then who are they praying to? This shows that there is something more powerful than a bible at work. Maybe you should read between the lines and look deeper into meanings, because just because the bible says one thing, it doesn't necessarily mean that exact thing.

We all have our own beliefs, and witches believe in the very same god you do.

Ive a "witch" 4 1 year and people don`t mind as long at i don`t put a cures on them. just remember if u put a cures on someone y get it back 10 times worse. just be careful on what spells u do and what spells u cast on people. and u should use protection spell on u b4 u start a spell 🐰 🤣

3 times worse, hon

"Ever mind the rule of three,
What you send out comes back to thee."

They don't like it because they are either a cowardly Christian, like some people here, or a paranoid, practical person, like me. I don't like it when people claim to practice witchcraft because it means they're not being honest about it, or they are being honest and they're crazy. When I start trying to climb walls like Spider-Man and claim to see through walls like Superman, you're welcome to judge me the same way.
People who truly believe they can work magic-- or mysticism, or whatever you've got your little heart set on calling it-- aren't trustworthy. They are not on the same level, intellectually and mentally, as people who can be counted on to take care of things in the real world. The religious types, they hate you because they are small, insecure people and your nonsense beliefs contradict their own nonsense beliefs. That's an invalid reason, but then, they are in the same boat as you. Not worthy of trust and credibility, but worthy of suspicion. With so many schizophrenics and the like being ignored and going without treatment, it would be irresponsible for people to just accept you for your beliefs. We wouldn't want to ignore people in need of psychiatric care, would we? How can compassion stay alive if we just lie to you and tell you that you're normal? Unless of course you are like 99% of people who claim to take part in witchcraft and are just entertaining a youthful phase that will pass over when the next fun thing comes along. Time will tell.
