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.
'What is all this shit about angels? Have you heard this? Three out of four people now, believe in angels. What're you, fucking stupid? Has everybody lost their fucking minds in this country? Angels, shit. You know what I think it is? I think it's a massive collective psychotic chemical flashback of all the drugs -- all the drugs -- smoked, swallowed, snorted, shot, and absorbed rectally by all Americans from 1960 to 1990. Thirty years of adulterated street drugs'll get you some fucking angels, my friend.' - George Carlin
