To ask if you believe in witchcraft?

[superstarheartbreaker]

My exes mum was known as a " White Witch". In other words she was very into woo and practiced as a Chrystal healer, could sense energy, was psychic and was into all the new age bull shit. Vegan etc , etc.

I think a large amount of this is bullshit however there are a few incidents which made me think. One involved her son. He was v abusive and when we split up I felt very low. At the time she was thousands of miles away in the USA. She phoned me up in ters ( she had no idea we gad split up) and told me she knew how low I felt and tha I should hang on in there ( I felt suicidal) she said she could feel my pain. Wierd as last time we met I fine.

I don't agree with the way she raised my ex ( brought him weed for his bday etc) and a lot of what she believed in ( and how she enforced those beliefs) was questionable but I do think there was something a bit strange about her. ( my dad who is the straightest man on the planet even thought she'd put some kind of spell on me at one point -- although that was probably due more to her abusive son.)

My own feeling is that Wicca has some power but that any attempt to manipulate nature to ones own ends is not to be trusted.

Am I barmy???!!!

wasitsomethingisaid if you were referring to me then I have a full understanding of Wicca & when I was talking about harming others I wasn't meaning Wiccans. Obviously.

Particularly when I also mentioned Satanism & Voodoo in the same sentence as Wicca! :)

I know very little about Wicca, but I had the impression it was mostly about living in harmony with nature. Don't think they do ritual murder and fairly sure there were no Wiccan crusades.

There's one popular religion about today that still practices ritual cannibalism but it isn't Wicca.
