I believe the most important issue here is whether or not you ascribe to a Dumbledore or Grindelwald train of thought.

 

 

Edit: Also, a Psy-Vampire? Really?

 

"Call me Vampir from now on, per se. You know that girl Bella in Twilight? I think I'm like her. I'm a psi vampire. Do you like the sparkles I got?"

Don't hex me, but I have to say: seriously?

First: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicca

 

Second: That is hardly as surprising as hearing someone claim they believe a man walked on water, turned water into wine, and then died for our sins.

 

Three: Other than a fascination with the lore of the occult and fantasy, I don't practice any of it as a philosophy and/or religion.

Where are vanir and Allronix when we need them? :giveup:

 

I don't believe that practicing witchcraft automatically makes you a Wiccan. AFAIK, Wicca is actually quite new, whereas witchcraft itself is ancient and very diverse. I doubt that it could ever be contained in a singular belief system.

It doesn't automatically. Just showing a religion in which it does so the OP isn't considered a joke.

I am interested to see some peoples viewas on the Occult and the Paranormal. I myself am a practicing Witch and am interested in other areas of the Occult.

Really open ended question, which might seem good for discussion, but it is so broad a topic in the way you have it phrased...

:confused:

So cute.

1- As others have noted, witch does not imply Wiccan. Good simple background though on a "New Religious Movement".

2- Thank you. Transmutation every Sunday.

3- Mostly agreed. I have hope for some prophecies, although I laugh at myself for stocking them :)

 

My mother is an educated woman with an impressive resume. She believes in parallel universes, aliens, ascendancy, channeling, and is currently retired but still working, now as a massage therapist and Reiki Master.

 

I think she's a little nutty! She also was an incredible teacher, an 8 year member of the Michigan state senate, and no dummy.

I disagree with her on most of her beliefs, nearly all, but I cannot logically exclude anything.

 

There is always a chance that the sun will not rise tomorrow. I wouldn't recommend waiting for it, but who will tell me it's impossible? :)

Your mother sounds like a pretty dynamic individual.

 

I think that you have the right attitude about this stuff. We non-practitioners probably shouldn't put a whole lot of stock in it because none of it is provable, but I agree that we shouldn't disregard it completely, either.

It doesn't automatically. Just showing a religion in which it does so the OP isn't considered a joke.

OK. Didn't mean to get all semantic on you. :)

Edit: Also, a Psy-Vampire? Really?

A being, not necessarily immortal, that feeds upon an others life force instead of blood, or so I have read. ;)

Oh, well that would be about 90+% of the population, wouldn't it? :p

Yes I am i have only been practicing for a short time and am glad i wasnt stoned for saying this

 

So, what do you get to do as a witch? Do you get to ride on brooms and lay curses of eternal damnation on people and hunt the book that reveals the name of God and will reverse all Creation?

As Obama said, "We can disagree without being disagreeable." Flaming/baiting comments will be quickly removed.

 

I have some good friends who are Wiccans, and while some of the stuff they do I think is a bit odd, it floats their boat. They're mostly into herbalism and respect for mother earth and all that. I also have a good friend who spent some time in the occult, until she had an experience so bad she claims she was physically hurt, and she got out of it immediately. Her story was just bizarre, even though she's not the type to get hysterical or tell outrageous tales. Regardless of whether her re-telling was accurate, though, her experience was bad. Not all of the people who practice the occult arts do so for positive reasons. Some are in it to outright do harm. Learn the difference and stay away from the bad ones. My Wiccan friends were pretty frank about the drugs and the sex parties. All I can say is 'don't be stupid.' If you're going to get involved in that kind of thing, avoid the drugs (which make you a lot more at risk for 'being stupid', aside from the illegality problem), and look up safe sex techniques on a reputable medical site like WebMD or talk to you medical professional. Follow their advice every time, not just 'most of the time'. You only need to do it one time to make a baby, get herpes, or acquire HIV. Be safe.

I would like to talk about real things none of this Bleach nonsense

 

"Real" depends entirely on who you're asking and what you're asking about. Honestly, I can google and wiki Occult information all day, but it won't tell me anything about what you are. So, if you would indulge me, what kind of witch are you, what kind of occult are you into, as there is a great range of it all, and what parts of it do you or don't you take seriously?

 

Eckancar? Plz explain :confused:

 

EDIT: (couldn't find any pics)

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eckankar

 

It was misspelled, but Wiki knew what it wanted. And somehow that's both cool and creepy.

 

It does sound like a new-agey cult, but then most new-age religions tend to give off that vibe. As I'm sure the "great" religions did back when they were started.

"Great" Religions? :confused: Or did you mean, "popular"?

 

I know what you are saying with the phrasing, but I rarely connote any greatness to any of the big religious movements of our history - except perhaps "great" artisanry, craftsmanship, storytelling and literary prowess.

 

Of course, that is off topic...

 

I agree with you Web Rider, I wish the OP would be more forthcoming with his own views and opinions, so we have a better frame of reference for actual discussion. Otherwise.... :huh?:

Honestly I don't see how me saying I'm an arrancar is any different from MTS saying he/she is a witch other than the the term is slated from an anime (both concepts are derived from works of fiction/fantasy). But enough of that...

 

On topic, I'm particularly interested in demonology, particularly the Goetia and the Key of Solomon and the study of ghosts interests me as well. I haven't gotten the courage to brave a cemetery alone at night, but I have traveled to suspected haunted locations where I live.

 

@MTS isn't Psy-vamping just posi/negative energy feeding? More or less chi?

@Qliveur: Not realy Psy-Vampires do it conciously and to gain energy

In my experience, anyone who is not capable of true empathy already does that, just not consciously.
