Do You Believe In Witches and Wizards?

[Anonymous]

I believe that there's a possibility of them existing. They are just human beings like any other human. Magic cannot be explained by science but can be passed down.

What I had gathered from the movies and tv shows of witches and wizards (mainly witches), is that they are humans and that too much power can drive you crazy and impulsive. watching these shows and movies made me considered on becoming a witch myself, then I thought back on the movies and shows that if you want to do certain spells, you'll most likely have to cut the palm of your hand (or cut yourself in general). I'm not the person to do well with seeing blood. Not only that, I had thought that since I am not a witch, I wouldn't be able to do witchcraft. Then I came to the conclusion that I'm not going to attempt anything unless I've actually witnessed witchcraft. Then I am all like, "Witchcraft isn't real." Next, I'm like, "Wait, I don't know that. Therefore, I have no right to make assumptions on things that I have little knowledge of."

I know that all witches are not evil.

Same with the existence of god or any deity, magic cannot be explained. But that doesn't mean magic can't be obtained.

Tbh I consider myself a witch. I'm a pagan and practice witchcraft. But it's only the kind that involves only positivity. Along with connecting to nature and the spiritual realm. It's nothing like movies though. You can't fly, can't just point and make something happen, and even though blood has its own form of magic it's not needed.

And all that made me a "witch" was doing plenty of research and practice in my workings. And no I don't have a pointy hat and a hooked nose, I'm just a chick in denim and leather lol.

Just like I said, witches are humans. I want to become a witch, but since it involves only positivity, I won't be able to do witchcraft. I think I can once my depression leaves me.

God is more powerful than witches

[Daniela1982]

Any true magic that is not fake, and is performed is not of God, but of the opposite persuasion.
The Bible has a lot to say about witchcraft. Witchcraft and its many cousins, such as fortune-telling and necromancy, are Satan’s counterfeits to holy spirituality. The Bible expressly condemns all forms of witchcraft.
Since early times, people have sought supernatural experiences God did not endorse. The nations that surrounded the Promised Land were saturated with such practices, and God had stern words for His people concerning any involvement with them. Deuteronomy 18:9–12 says, “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.”
It is also a way for demons to possess you, as playing around with an Ouija board.

And you believe a book that has been translated so many times for centuries? Don't you realize how unreliable bibles are? Especially US bibles?

[Daniela1982]

Don't you know how unreliable magic is?

[myTake Owner]

Oh yes, I do know how unreliable magic is, but witchcraft doesn't have the kind of magic you've read; witches do spells by energy. Yes, it's magic, but not the kind you think.

[Manoftheeast]

I wouldn't normally believe in witchcraft but it is an ancient practice.
And I know someone who's a witch. Lol sounds insane.

But yeah I believe she has powers. Sure
And she's nice. A good witch ^ ^
I don't understand it though. And I'm sharing the few things I gathered from knowing her. So take what I'm saying with a grain of salt, and log of open mindedness 😉

But don't cut yourself or hurt yourself.
Because not sure if that's a thing.
Also yeah you're only born with it.
Maybe look into tarots and crystals.

I think it’s a subject of skill and interpretation. People like to label things. It makes them easier to accept when they can organize. Light and dark, good and evil.

Those that found medicine in nature and had the ability to heal, they were good. Those that accidentally killed some while learning medicinal value were branded evil. Witch doctors and the like passed their knowledge down. With it came credibility. Their titles simply changed through the ages.

Fun thing.. It you look up dragon bones you see all number of sources. Truth laying within facts and fables.

[genericname85]

i believe in nut cases that will call themself witch or wizard xD but i don't believe they have some superhuman power.

in fact the idea of witches was only made up as legitimation to kill women for various reasons like masturbation (that's what the riding the broom thing came from), being single, being ugly or otherwise outcast or unpopular.
i know this, cause i litterally live in the area, where the walpurgisnacht happened and still happens today (which is litterally the epicentre of traditional wichburning in Europe). it was a huge holy mass type celebration where women who had been denunciated as whitches were burned. today of course it's only a celebration of the fact that this doesn't happen anymore.

Do I believe in witches and wizards? No.

I have to be specific about this though. There are people who claim to be witches or warlocks or maybe even wizards and there are those who believe their claims. These people claim they can perform magic and lay curses and love spells and the like. However, none of these claims have ever been backed up by reliable evidence. Every experiment ever performed to gauge the likelihood actual magic was performed came up with inconclusive results at best which were no different than what you would expect from pure chance alone.

So I have no more reason to believe in witches or wizards (or gods) than I do leprechauns, goblins, the Hafgufa, Super Mario, Batman or any other imaginary being. Of course these claims are largely unfalsifiable without a proverbial "god's eye" view of all of reality, but I'm at least 99.9% sure they don't exist.

[MC1100]

They are real, and I've seen them dressed up in oregon. Its a witch craft haven. Likewise hell is real, and heaven. I pray you make it to heaven. And encounter angels protecting you, from evil if you turn to him. Earth is a proving ground whether you make it to heaven or thrown in hell. I pray god and his angels protects your mind from the evil ones witchcraft, when you turn to him.. All witchcraft backfires.. Karma..

[Staximus]

I don't know. I do know that my brother put a curse on his ex girlfriend for cheating on him. She asked a psychic why she can't be happy in a relationship and the psychic told her it's because there's a curse on you. She called my bro and asked him if he put a curse on her and he said yes, he cursed her to never be happy in a relationship again hahaha. I don't know if she asked him to remove the curse but I think he did.

[TheLadyBug]

I think they exist somewhere. They hide among people. They hide their magic and control certain events from time to time. I was also wondering if there was any secret knowledge where this could be learned.

[Kaneki05]

No I don't believe in giant spaghetti monsters just because some people think "Well ya can't assume it's not real." in fact you 100% can through scientific laws.

"Magic cannot be explained by science"

Things that don't exist, don't need explanation. What needs explaining is how fools like you still exist in the 21st century.

[myTake Owner]

Who you're calling a fool? Assuming you're religious, says the one who believes everything from a bible.

[Opinion Owner]

I'm not religious. You make assumptions too easily.

There's no magic. There's no gods or demons.

So yes, it's you. I'm calling you the fool. I do hope that's clear.

[myTake Owner]

At the same time, we don't know if any of it is real or not. If I experience it or see it for myself, then I'll believe. Other than that, everything is unknown. So I'm not a fool. Fools doesn't listen nor understand reasoning and logic. (Not saying magic and shit are logic, I'm saying that we don't even know if any of this is real, so we don't have a say what's real and what's not).

[Opinion Owner]

Crazy people can't identify reality. That doesn't mean we can't.

Just because you're nuts, don't presume we all are.

[myTake Owner]

I never said we all were nuts. Don't put words in my mouth just because you're delusional.

[Opinion Owner]

Go cast your spells, nutterball.

[Anonymous]

Nope.

But once at school the nurse thought I was a witch or something, because of eye birthmark I have, I have gray spots in my eyes, looking kinda like a tattoo in the eye, she was so scared I comforted her and forgot what my problem was lol

[Luopio27]

To me, doctors of psychiatry are the real life witches and wizards, with big pharma cooking the poisons.

[msc545]

Quiet or I will hex you!

[Creampiekarl420]

You can’t tell me that Morgan freeman isn’t a magical negro dude has been old my entire life he is pushing at least 200 years

[Troztim]

Most witches, or Wiccan's are peaceful people in fact one of their core beliefs, taken from the Wiccan Rede is“AN IT HARM NONE, DO WHAT YE WILL.”

[Bluemax]

The evidence is not there.

[Jouth]

I am both a witch and a wizard.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nope there not real

[myTake Owner]

Interesting enough. You could give it some thought.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Why I just really don't believe in that ghouls and goblins type stuff

[myTake Owner]

Ghouls are dead. Goblins are monsters. Witches are human beings.

[Bklynbadboy12]

I still don't believe in them

[WraithRogue04]

nooo

[thedaffodils]

Nope
