"What's wrong with witches" it's really important to know that wicca and similar is SATANIC and it's really dangerous to get involved with that kind of stuff because Satan, demons and possession are REAL so you need to be extremely careful and stay away from those things. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour and only through him we will receive eternal life. Praise him!
I’m going to choose the high road and not climb up on my soap box right now, because from the looks of it, you came from a genuine place with this Ask and were attempting to just look out for me, so I’m not going to come back at you with any hate. I do appreciate your concern.
I’m also going to go ahead and surpass the endless paragraphs I could write about the hypocrisy and horrible nature that Christianity tends to spew, because I don’t want to overgeneralize, and I don ‘t know the kind of Christian you are (but just remember, KKK members claim to be Christians too, so let’s not throw rocks in glass houses).
What I will say, is that before you go ahead and make assumptions about another religion(one just as valid as your Christianity), or a race, or a gender, or any type of societal “group” that you’re not truly familiar with, you really need to educate yourself in the right way. From the content of your Ask, it is abundantly clear to me that you have not done that, or done any research at all really on the Wiccan religion, besides watching low budget Halloween movies (or possibly a good Halloween movie like The Craft) and made your assumptions from there. And we all know what people say about assumptions, right?
What’s interesting is that Wicca actually is the absolute opposite of how it tends to be portrayed in cinema. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with Satan, or Hell, or demons, or people getting possessed while their heads spin in circles are they vomit pea soup. Wiccan’s don’t even believe in Hell. They do believe in a God and Goddess, just like you do and the Gods are linked into nature. Every living and breathing thing on this earth, is God, basically. Which essentially is much like Christianity, right? God is in everything? The only difference is we don’t believe you either go up the elevator or down after you die. Instead, you are reincarnated into the earth.
The entire Wiccan religion, beyond nature, is based on love, acceptance, and living the best possible life you can. It revolves around being accepting and open to everyone and everything, and putting as much good into the world, and yourself, as you possibly can. Wiccan’s believe that everything you do, comes back three fold (much like Karma). If you do something good, you will see three times as much good come into your life. If you are selfish, or harmful in anyway, you will see that come back three times as negatively.
There is absolutely nothing dark about the core values or practices of Wicca. Same thing goes for being a witch (and the two are not synonymous by the way). Being a witch is all about harnessing your spirituality, and connecting to the earth. It’s about good vibrations and making positive things happen in your life, and for those that are in your orbit. Magic is not supernatural, it is more like emotional mindfulness, at it’s center. It’s a craft.
Now, can witches go dark and practice negative magic? Do evil spirits exist? Yes, of course. At least, I believe they do. But to every form of light and love, there is an opposition. As I said earlier, you yourself may be a Christian who truly exists in the name of Jesus, someone who loves and accepts everyone around them. But then down the street, you may have a neighbor who has nothing but hate in their heart for every person that is not a white straight Christian like they are. They may torture homosexuals, shoot POC, or spend their time trying to rebrand American into the land of “white power”. And that is just as “satanic”(using your words) as a Wiccan who has chosen to use magic for dark purposes only.
So, please. I urge you to read a book (just one book!) on the true nature of the Wiccan religion before you go spouting off these misinformed beliefs on what it means to follow a faith different from your own. Instead, try to open your mind, and your heart, and realize that this world is filled with people who follow and believe in different things than you, which is not only OK, but actually kind of wonderful.
