does anyone truly believe witchcraft works?

Witchcraft is NOT evil..a person may be bad, but the magick isn't. Being a witch myself, I have never made any such claim that I'm white or black..since I KNOW that there's no such thing in magick..nor in human beings. We're both, niether, everything, nothing. Balance is the key thing being..most are taught directly NOT to abuse the gift of magick, and use it for harmful ways. Or selfish ones. It is not selfish to take a bath..to care for your skin is it? So then why would it be selfish to use magick to help your spirit heal? Or when no other option's available to attempt to salvage a possibly deadly situation? This is what witches do. Most of us anyway. You might be surprised to learn that prayer, meditation, healing, and even christian or other religious 'miracles' are a form of magick. If only in their simplest forms. Spells and rituals are just like those, only concentrated slightly more. SAME thing, as for where the word witch originated, no one TRULY knows..so please on't claim to. The only definition that matters any longer is the one in the dictionary. In it's most simplest and unbiased form it means "Someone who works with magick and casts spells" There is no such thing as black or white magick. Magick is simply that magick. It's like nature, is nature inherentlygood or evil? No..it's both and niehter..it's PEOPLE that define this. Believe me honey, I'm poorer than dirt..you think I'd be if I was evil and would do what you claim witches do? Please..don't view the world simply. Believe me, I know there's more shades of gray than there's just the two black and white where the world is concerned..there's all ranges of good, evil..and inbetween. The world can be far more sinaster and grim without viewing things polarly..excluding all other possibilities and peoples in between it all..and losing sight of what's true. I respect your beliefs, I do..but this is what I KNOW to be true, what I've studied for years to be true, what I've proven if only to myself to be true. I'm sorry if you had a brush with a few nasty people..or know some who have, but you can't say all one people's this or that..it's just not possible. That's what Hitler did..look how much THAT sucked.

Well friend I have given you a plus since i found you sincere and blatantly frank.I liked it. But the fact that this writer have first hand experience of such people. I am neither generalizing nor do i judge. But plenty of my clients suffer in silence and we find such act as a cruelty, a cruelty to the humanity. Glad to know that you find solace in helping others and if that is the end of any art, that deserves appreciation.
