Divination, the occult, witchcraft?
 

Although what we currently call 'Wicca' is actually a fairly modern system based on older beleifs, most modern Wiccans follow a code that says that whatever you do comes back to you times three. I'm not a Wiccan myself but I've known people who are. I have been called some pretty creative nicknames, but that was a long time ago, and I don't think it was so much because they beleived I was any of the supernatural things they were calling me, they were just trying to bolster themselves by picking on the designated 'outsider'. Kids can be pretty cruel.
Otherwise, I do beleive that there are things in this world we don't understand yet. The world is an amazing and often strange place, and thats not a bad thing by any stretch.

There's nothing evil about it unless you harm other people. I don't practice any of it. I want to practice but I do not have the time nor do I know people who could teach me how to do it. Does it require special powers like being psychic?

I don't think those are evil. I, myself, am wiccan ^^ and I have told my family. My mother is wiccan and so is my sister. My grandmother on the other hand tries to convert me to a christian based religion, and tells me I worship the devil, which isn't true.

I don't keep my beliefs a secret, but I don't just bost about them either. If someone asks me, I won't lie about it, but I do know that most people are close minded about many of those types of things. It's really quite said when some one will not talk to you because you don't share their religion, but it isn't as bad as it used to be.

I remember telling a kid in my third grade class, a long time ago, my religion, and during that recess he threw a rock at me. He only hit my arm but I was completely shocked because I had no idea why he'd do such a thing. Now I know that his family doesn't except anything outside their religion. But back then he could've just been being mean to me for no reason ^_^

There's no small amount of people who find it hard to accept other faiths or beleifs, it's not a problem soley with Christianity, though thats where we hear about it the most. <:/ If it were just arising from one source it would be easier to deal with I think.
As far as i'm aware though, being a practicing Wiccan isn't much different from any other faith. They've all got their own rituals and practices. Casting a spell, I think isn't much different than praying, you're just taking the idea that you have more active control over what happens.

I'm Wiccan, but i was raised Catholic, so all growing up, the word witch made me uncomfortable. It's kind of unbelievable that my life would lead me to changing to Wicca, but I love my choice. I honestly can't see myself practicing anything else.

Also, I am clairvoyant, and slightly clairaudient, and I'm an empath. There's a certain layer of auras that I can see, too. Though, honestly, I'm thinking my clairvoyance might just be really good intuition. I have clairvoyant dreams, then forget, them and get the message later, without remembering the dream.

I don't think divination is evil, I've done a little, but witchcraft and the occult are frowned upon in my religion (I'm a Baptist). I don't criticize anyone who does witchcraft or the occult though.

I'm superstitious and everything but I'm not into anything like wicca or anything. I do believe in spiritual magic like the Buddhists but not so much hocus pocus type stuff that it seems to be all about. I'm not saying it's wrong or anything, it just seems to be a bit much for me.

I really don't find it evil, like others have said, it's a tool and how you use the tool defines the intent of the practice.

I've been reading up on both Wicca and Witchcraft and I don't know what to think about it quite yet. There's a lot of misinformation out there and a lot of either hate or fear spread about Witchcraft and the occult by other religions. Thanks to technology and the internet, the Occult isn't as occultish as it once was.

I don't hold much weight in divination, but that's because I personally haven't had it work or be remotely true. I tried that numerology thing on my name and the number I got was just a 180 of my real personality. I'm not saying it doesn't work, it just hasn't worked for me.

Faggy Chan, not every Christian tries to convert people and thinks their way is the only way. :( I think you're thinking of Scientologists :P

no i believe that every thing has a reason too be here so no it is not evil
i am a wiccan and i enjoy some divination.
not yet... lol
not yet... i hope never!

nothing sho-shonojo if it makes some one happy then other people should butt out!

I have a very large, very awesome crystal ball, it's part of a fountain I own, but it's got natural cracks in it, so I'm wondering if it'd be good for reading.

i used to practice wicca.
I kind of mixed it with my christianity, which was prolly a no-no but meh.
I got mixed up in the wrong stuff and my friend was taken over by a demon spirit while we were talking about spells in my other friend's backyard. It was literally, quite scary. My friend's dog tried to bite the possessed friend and he was making a big ruccus and everything. We had to hold him on a leash to keep him from attacking my friend. Then all of a sudden everything went quiet and the dog stopped barking. I've never searched down any spells or anything ever again, and I don't think I will simply because of that one night. It scared the shit out of me.

I don't think it's evil or anything like that. I have a very open mind to other religions and practices, it's just not for me.

I've done a fair amount of research into the occult and for the most part it's bunk. Especially the withcraft aspect. From my own observations I have never seen any of it ever work. Divination I have seen work. I've always had a bit of psychic ability that I have traced back through family lineage. I've even had waking visions that have came true minutes later. I can't control that and it feels like getting stabed in the head with a knife. Luckly I've managed to block it out for the most part. The problem with divinations and visions is you never know where they are coming from. Could come from a good source could come from a bad source and half the time it's misleading. Ultimatly causing more problems than doing good. Which is why I try to avoid it at all cost.
