Anyone into wych craft then?

Anyone into wych craft?

I'm not, but I'm interested in talking about it.

I bought this book last week called The Way of Wyrd, but I've not read it yet. To be honest I am not really a novel person, but sometimes when I force myself to read one I do actually enjoy it.

Anyway, I visited my grandmother today and I showed her this really interesting new book I am reading, what's it about she says...

Well.... It's a novel, kind of like Lord of the Rings, middle earth types stuff, wizards and magic. It's actually more interesting than LOTR because it is based on real historical accounts recently unearthed by this guy called Brian Bates, a professor in history. Some christian monks did some research into "things that went on" a few hundred years before them, during the time of the Anglo-Saxons, and it's about pagan wych doctors, runes and all that sort of shamanic tribal stuff. It's based on purtportedly actual events that were recorded by these monks a thousand years ago, and pieced together into a story whereupon the protagnoist is written from the perspective of a fictional christian monk really taking this journey for real and witnessing these events.

And this is how taken by it she was:

Oh no I don't want any of that witch craft! *quickly hands book back to me*

My gran, bless her soul, is a firm beleiver in the Xtian faith, and once told me she had an experience which led her to beleive in God, or the holy spirit or something, but she was reticent to divulge actually what happened as she though at the time I would mock it. One day you will see too maybe....

I'm kind of annoyed that she downplayed a part of my own spiritual beleifs, but well I don't hold it against her at all of course, she is 89 and I love her to bits, she makes me tea and scones when I go to visit.

:hippy:

Science is magic that works.

[Staurm]

Haha :clap: you wouldn't be saying that if you were a physicist!

Magic is physics that works more like, I swear to you I have seen it with my own eyes!

[Samwhore]

I don't practice, but I'd research on it maybe. It sounds interesting.

Witchs have thier own religeon all together, and then theres a separation between white, black, and grey magic. I'm not really into whichcraft, tried it before when I was younger but alot of it is too much work, they use alot of tools and whatnot.

My mom was good friends with some chick that would constantly talk about all types od magic and shit. She was really into this type of stuff. I'd consider reading about soon.

All that "work" is just to get you in the right mood! I can cast a great spell (usually for healing) without ANY "window dressing". I usually don't ask the Goddess for more than I have- She has blessed me! Good marriage, good kids, reasonable health, good pot, and a good job that I love. What more do I need?

Straum, to each their own. What really matters is what your faith makes you into. If it makes you a good person, I'm all for it!

Storm Crow,
Yes, I am into Wichcraft. I've been practicing for about four years. Trying to get my materials into braile would be out of the question, so I have to rely on the computer and the internet for some things. It can be a vary rocky path if you can't see a thing in front of your eyes, but you don't need a pair of working eyes to see spirits. The Gods have blessed me in other ways though.
May the good spirits surround you, and the Gods smile upon you.
David.

If your saying your blind, I read in an astral projection book that people that once had vision before becoming blind can see while out of body. People blind for thier entire life say they can sence everything around them like radar (like daredevil).

So, where's the evidence that witchcraft has ever actually done anything? If it really works, it should be pretty easy to do produce an experiment that will totally floor the scientific community and force them to accept the existence of these supernatural powers. Scientists are always willing to be convinced by good evidence, so long as the methodology is sound and the results can be replicated, so let's see it and revolutionize our understanding of the basic forces at work in the universe. Give me an experiment that I can do to prove to myself that this stuff is real.
