Witchcraft: fact or fiction?

whitefoxdemon · May 18, 2006, 07:39 AM

In many countries such as mexico, africa, and other countries, witchcraft is fairly common. My question is wether it really works. How can a person inflict harm on someone through chants and satanic ceremonies? Do so called witches really have the ability to practice a form of magic? What do you think?

I would have to say yes. You can't ignore the fact that witchcraft is real and widely practiced.

First of everything witches arnt all evil and satanic the only ones that are are called neo-pegans ans satanist I use magic almost everyday and it uses alot of HUMAN energy it really only harms other people when you use black magic white magic however is used for fortune and good health.sorry if this sounded really defencive but i get sick of the sterotypes that say that all magic is the use of evil the majoritey of it uses nature and soul energy or chi,mana, ect.

Maybe so but can they really do all the things they're thought to do? Of course there are many weirdos who worship satan and call themselves witches but are they the real thing?

About there being white magic and black , yeah , well I agree some of if it used for good and some for bad , but you can't deny the fact that magic is viewed as a sin , so it all falls under the bad list. At least those who are christians, catholics, etc, believe it to be a sin. Those who don't well that is your own belief.

well have you ever herd the saying that "people fear what they don't understand" well magic had to be one of those things that can't be scientifically understood and maybe god hates magic caues he had a bad experiece with it cause it seemed jesus was usuing alot of magic but anyway i gtg to lunch so ill be back later i hopw this clears up somthing

I don't believe in magic. I believe it's an alternative way of thinking for people who don't care to figure out how things work in reality. If magic was real we wouldn't need to find a cure for Cancer or Aids, becuase we could just use magic right? Or instantly heal wounds and turn led into gold (which midevil alchemists already proved impossible), wrong. We have hospitals and molecular acceleration machines for a reason.

Just because we still have hospitals and people still die from disease it doesn't mean that witchcraft can't heal some things or that it isn't used to help heal. I have family in which witchcraft plays a large role in their lives. I've seen some really creepy stuff that can only be explained by magic. I've also seen instances when "modern" medicine couldn't help a person so they took them to a "healing" witch and although they weren't completely cured at least they're still alive.

It's because i dont take everything it the bible seriously. Its just a guide. Im not going to live my life word by word from something that was written by man. Man probably added that about witchcraft because the ppl at the time hated witches.
