personally i do believe that witchcraft is an evil doing thing..because it use power from evil and usually they give their soul in return to accquire strong power...and these beliefs do generally involves religious elements dealing with spirits or deities, the afterlife, magic and ritual. Witchcraft is generally characterised by its use of magic. According to some religious doctrines, all forms of magic is labelled as witchcraft. the BIBLe does not distinguish whether the witchcraft is intended to achieve a goal which is good or one which does harm. It is all inherently wrong because it is appeal to a forbidden source of power..here are some verses in bible just check it out:DEUTERONOMY 18:9-14--Every aspect of the occult is here mentioned specifically. It is all an "abomination" and is forbidden. Specifically forbidden are:one who practices "witchcraft" and a "sorcerer" and "one who conjures spells" and a "spiritis"LEVITICUS 19:31--Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.
ACTS 13:8-10--Paul rebuked elymas the sorcerer, saying " O full of all deceit and all fraud. you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?"THIS IS ALL WHAT I BELIEVED SO CAN SHARE YOURS!!!!!

I believe that you have no idea what wicca is, wiccans are no more evil then christians nor any other religion. In fact many christians justify their evil acts by saying they do it in the name of god. Evil in the name of god takes the name of god takes his name and makes a moccery of it. No wiccan would take the name of the god or goddess and use it in this way. Wiccans make no deal with the devil, they do not for the most part use magic any more then christians who pray to get something. They are people who trust and revere nature.
Your quotes from the bible are misquotes that were corrupted by King James and his people who did their best to justify his power and rule. The original quotes do not mention witchcraft, nor other forms of wicca. They mention those who are mediums and seers. You say according to some religious doctrines that all forms of magic is labeled witchcraft, well some religios doctrines also say that members of other denominations of the christian church are not worthy of heaven. Most of the beliefs held today have come from the men between the days of Jesus and now.

The basis of Wicca has been around since before Christianity, though Wicca in the form known today is recent. The Gardnerian and Alexandrian Wicca are based on a practice that was around but kept secret with a vow of secrecy until it was allowed to be proacticed in the UK in the 1930s. Most think that this is the start of Wicca, but it is just the start of the public knowledge of it. It was Buckner who took it from the secret ways to what it is now.

I don't beleive it is an evil thing.
the power doesn't come from evil, but from inside yourself.
my soul is my own, and not given or promised to anyone.
Witchcraft is a neutral force, and can be used to do harm or to do good.
it's mostly used for things like healing, or protection, or fertility, or non fertility, or to help get a job, or bring luck, or even to find a parking space.
these are the sort of things people NEED in their life, so these are the sort of things Witchraft is more likely to be used for.
people rarely use Witchcraft for harm, as there is rarely a situation where people "need" to harm another.
