Have you ever met a real witch?

a reply to: Whaler
Wow. just wow. Could have denied a religious affiliation with
this one. She stole my heart, cherry and later on my hope.

Of course she was a feminist --consequently destroyed my
trust in the opposite sex.. but that was part of the Steinhem-
ite and CIA agenda to make decent people psychologically sterile.

But I'll tell you for the record, nobody since has ever been
able ro pull my dead tennis ball through that McDonald's
straw like her. Probably why she gravitated to the Apellate.
I was meant to not reproduce because she affirmed I'm not worthy.

Do you mean like movie-stereotypical broom riding ....or Wiccans? Both are totally different.

And Merlin-type wizards...or evil-type Warlocks?

I think you're confused by the wording of your o.p.

Yes. She was Wiccan and the mother of a friend I travelled abroad to visit. She foretold the future professions of my sons...neither of which are adults yet, so we shall see if she was correct. I speak English and she spoke Dutch--which I don't speak at all--when she grasped my hands while talking to me, I suddenly was able to understand what she was saying and we had a lengthy conversation. In my mind at that time she seemed to be speaking English, so I didn't think anything about it until after we finished our talk and went to sit by another friend across the room who speaks both English and Dutch who said to me "I didn't realize you can understand Dutch". I replied that I can't and that she was speaking English...he said "no, she was speaking Dutch and you were replying in English." Sadly,,she passed away from cancer six months later.

No, never met her, but I know of one.

They are not bad, I am studying them and really like what I am learning. They are very smart, intuitive, can easily live off the land and most importantly...believe in magic (or whatever you want to call it).

The only thing to worry about are the kids who want to become wiccan and do bad things...spells, etc.

a reply to: Whaler Yes. I am one (non practicing), I have Biological Lineage to the same.

I am parts Shaman, Druid, Witch and Gypsy all in one.

My Relations and I all have similar or other Abilities.

reply to: Whaler
Yeah I have. She could see the mental image I projected when she touched my hand. Was able to describe it to me perfectly. She read my aura correctly, she was definitely legit. I consider her my friend. She's very kind and has a good sense of humor. Even though what I believe says being a witch isn't good, she still said she believes in Jesus. She's a wiccan priestess. Very intuitive. She is a white witch, meaning she practices spells during the full moon and not the new moon like black witches. That's about all I know.

Everytime I look in the mirror....


Yours sincerely,
The Wicked Witch of OZ.

While some my identify with the archetype of the witch, Real witches of lore are in fact DEMONtional being/hags who poses your mind. you will only meet them in your head and will be haunted. If you have come incontact with one in physical formation and lived to post about it on ATS, you must be serving them.

Darn, you figured us out...



While I don't consider myself a "wizard" or "warlock" or whatever us males are called that can do spell castling,
I certainly know there are witches, have known quite a few, and they are real.

Hey. Witch here.

Most true witches are pretty unassuming and private. Unfortunately, witchcraft (and paganism more generally) tends to attract posers, but if you can tell within a few days of meeting someone that they're into witchcraft, then the chances are that they're full of s*it.

Oh lord, no! Lol, sorry, that wasn't directed at you. I'm just talking about those kids that never shut up about what powerful witches they are, how edgy and dangerous they think they are, they're 10th generation hereditary high priestesses and they can totes kill a man with magic...you know the ones.

a reply to: BrightEyes85

oh yes the ones you have to pay to be with had a clash with them 20 years ago, when i ran my own coven i am solitary and practice rarely. mostly have only online contact with other practitioners now. maybe when i move again Btw, take care of yourself and those you care about *Blessed be*

An ex lady friend of mine was a Wiccan. I never saw any results of any the "spells" she worked. To my knowledge, magic(k) doesn't work.

She did, however, become a rather accomplished herbalist. She concocted teas and salves that absolutely reduced the length and severity of common ailments, and drastically reduced healing time of cuts and abrasions. No BS, she had that stuff down.

Last I heard she was following some odd variety of Christianity. Go figure.

Fellow Wiccan/Shaman here, knew there were a few of us on ATS, just didn't realize how many.

And I agree, there are too many posers anymore thanks to it being somewhat excepted now. It is now a safe rebellion.

Met a few, mostly wiccans, very good people, with amazing expansive minds

I used to be one. I had a very lhp approach, along with some stuff garnered from Wicca, like the use of candles for example. A lot of folks over look folk magic, probably because its a do it yourself kind of thing. Best for experienced practitioners. Anyway, I don't do that anymore. It sure was interesting though. Surprising, even. I miss those days. I still know a few people that practice various pagan faiths, including a devout wiccan, and an odinist golden dawn member. A lot of folks used to be just intrigued by my broad knowledge of the subject, and the unique methods I used. I had never realized just how large and vibrant the pagan community is where I live, until friends of friends of friends would begin discussing the subject at what seemed to be every social function I was invited to. Sometimes a guy just wants to drink around a bonfire, or focus on the fishing. I didn't mind, really. I just never was so social and open, with new friends anyway. Here in the buckle of the bible belt, it is very surprising just how many people, often those who live in less populated areas, actually practice some sort of witchcraft or pagan faith. A person can expect to defend thier beliefs, no matter what they are around here. It can be pretty exhausting, especially for a Jewish ex Christian minister who practiced witchcraft. You get the 3rd degree from all sides, but that's another topic. So, yeah, I've met a few.

I have met a real witch. Known her all my life. We even share the same name, birthdate, and body. It's amazing. All the incense and candles and worshiping nature. Just really blew my mind.
