Not a Spell Exchange

I could be wrong but, I belive magickal enery is a gift from the divine. It makes us all co-creators in this world we all share. The high feeling you get is from the unbridaled love we share with the divine and the low after we become grounded is simply a form of withdraw from said love, and the universal conciousness we experiance.

What is a witch?

I'm affraid I have to dissagree with the idea of speaking withthe dead being evil or negative. I think the reason for the summoning of suck spirits is what makes it possitive or negative.
Also when communicating with demons or daemons the purpose is often to banish them and dissolve their influence on the practitioner.
Some people are of the thought that demons are merely our fears and phobias while angels are our hopes and aspirations. In fact the god and goddess of wicca could be veiwed as achetypes of the mother and father in our subconcious.

I think that most beginers in magick fall prey to the idea that the magician tries to change the world to some degree through spell work. Most magicians worth their weight in salt could tell you thiis isn't so. While to some degree it is possible, it would take an incredible amount of energy. This is what most magicians would consider low magick anyway. What would be called high magick isn't turing lead to gold, but rather our souls. Not calling on the physical elements, but rather the part of our spirit they represent.
Many old grimores were also written in code, only sharing their wisdom with those students savy enough in their chipher.
The Keys of Salomon talk of rituals using 7 swords and thumb covers made from the ear of a black cat. Personaly I would never go that far to see a spell come to fruitation.
And lastly, many newcomers forget about doing the footwork in the mundane world to see their spell through. i.e.( just because you do a money spell does't mean you don't have to work.) Many forget that magick always follows the laws of nature. Defying these laws isn't magick, it's a miricle. If you do a money spell chances are someone who owes you a debt will repay it when you need it most, or your boss will offer you over time on your job.

What is a witch?

I am a Wiccan and come from a coven that can be traced back, to Gerald Gardner(The Father of modern Wicca himself). I hope I can shed some light on different asspect of this
disscussion of Witchcraft.

1) All witches are pagan, by deffinition, but not all Pagans are witches.
Pagan is a word that was used durring the Christian reform era of Rome to describe the
country dwellers, who still praised the old, or non Christian gods.

2) Many wiccans call themselves witches incorrectly. Witchcraft is a name that was given to certain techniques used by pagans, to make thing happen according to their wills. It in itself is not a religion.

3) Witchcraft being called black or white is merely perspective . White usually descibes those techniqes wich are used to help others. Black usually refers to those technqies done for selfish ends. Most witches fall somewhere in the middle in their practice of the craft.

4) Wicca, unlike Witchcraft is a religion with it's own codes of conduct, generally the Law of Return or Law of Three.

5) Last but not least, When a pagan does spell work to cause change in accordance with their wil, they usually don't try to change thr world. That would require more energy than most witches have. Instead they try to change themselves from the inside, so they can live more harmoniously with the world around them.

P.S. When books on wicca talk about the fluffy bunny stuff i.e. men accepting their femmine side, they overlook the Male mysteries. When they talk about attuning to the elements i.e. air, fire, water, earth, they don't mean litteraly. All though manny do take it that way, you can stand in a stream for 2 hrs a day for a year and not be anymore powerful.
It's the spirit of the element we want, or the part of ourselves that element stands for.
air = wisdom, fire = will, water = emotional involvement, earth = sense of balance, or stability.

P.S.S. Forgive my terrible spelling
