Give me an experiment that I can do to prove to myself that this stuff is real.
Close your eyes and believe Oneironaut. But you can't just think it, you have to BELIEVE! Believe believe beliiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve..... and then it all comes true. Albeit I'm a bit perplexed as to why supernatural phemomenon tend to be dependant on someone believing so hard that they wouldn't see contrary evidence if it smacked them in the face...



But, this thread isn't just about whether or not we believe in witch craft (it is witch craft we're talking about right?). I think it's a really fascinating subject, one that modern society isn't raised on and therefor isn't intimately familiar with. I absolutely love the practices of pagan, extinct-faith's, tribal, or just general shamanic traditions that don't hold to mass monotheistic dogma. There's an incredible wealth of information from so many traditions long extinct or isolated in small areas, I wish the general populace was more knowledgeable about them. Heck, I wish I was more knowledgeable about them!
