What do you think of Wicca?

[Mystic]

There is layers, some people believe in harmful magic, and that you have to master both. Dark and light are just tools. And this is all layered, there is not one opinion, on anything in Wicca, it is practically open ended.

I know I was interested for a while,  but there is something sinister in the scent of it, isn't there? At least I always felt like that even as a Deist.

I don't think I'd be interested in dark magick, however...in us all...there exists the capacity to want to do ''good'' and the desire to not do ''good.'' Whatever that means to you, on a personal level, or spiritual one. What I've been reading about Wicca, ''witches'' caution against performing spells in general, unless you are calm and unemotional about what your desire is, what the outcome is. Because when we're calm, we make better decisions. When you pray...you are asking for something...for God to do something, or cause a change in you, perhaps? If one invokes God into a spell let's say, it's with that same intent, similar to a prayer. But, a Wiccan can be a theist, atheist, or follow any religion or belief system...the spells are about intentions, and using our energy and intentions to bring about a desired outcome. That desired outcome might be that we merely grow from the experience. I shouldn't say ''merely,'' because personal growth is a beautiful thing, either way.

Either a real Angel who has clear proof that he is an Angel or a Human Guide from God has to teach you when you are ready. Otherwise, you won't be ready, and you will end up in a world of deceptions in the unseen and outward.

It's unfortunately a call to the dark sinister force - they entice us by powers and make it appealing, and of course, their magic works, and their spells do work. 

But dear *Deidre* I caution you because indeed we are a ever playful with our fates and ever curious, and we thirst for knowledge, but the proper avenues to knowledge, is that to be chosen by us or by God?

That's all the debate comes down to between the true religions and false religions.

God can provide proofs to the path. And it's incumbent upon him to guide the way.

It's easy to look at monotheists who hold to the anointed leaders as fools, their laws archaic, but all I suggest is to reflect harder and look within deeper.
