Can Wiccans really cast spells?

Of corse! But you must study, I am fairly new to it as well having studied for 81/2 months I can do spells but they are not as powerful I suggest going to rituals and learning before casting anything.

Yes you can But you need to learn the rules & basics of the craft before casting anything

hey I wont to be wican but my mom thinks they are all satanists and believe in the devils magic but I know that my mom is very crazy the wiccans I no believe in growing closer towards their nature side. which personally I wont to do. I go to secret meetings during lunch at school that way my momo will never no. all we do is meditate and learn of nature and enhance or ability to understand the right of nature so please dont blow everything out of porportion like my mom its not fair that I have to hide half my life to her. also most the wiccans who CAN cast spells dont becuase all they care about is getting to now the real side of things they don’t wont to hurt people or curse anyone. one of the wiccan things we say is “all good a person does returns in threefold in this life, harm is also returned in threefold.” this being said we just like to have peace and get to now ourselfs better.

Wicca has been given a bad rap!Wicca is part of a pagan religion nothing more, Yes wiccans do use spell to help them be a better preson.Some religions are different like roman catholics or Quakers. And I pray to the Dragons and was blessed with the name kind of dragons

You don’t have to be Wiccan to be aware of nature, After all God Gave mankind the world as his domain and we are responsible for it.

I have an add on question to your question…

Do these people really beleive they can perform magic?

if so, that’s frickin hilarious!!! =D

if not, im very lost because that’s what i thought spells were.

i know theres a type of meditation that can possibly let you float and pick up things with your mind. but ive never seen it.

I think so but… I also think that you should ask someone that is a witch or a wiccan before you go playing in things like that. Oh and Harry Potter is NOT real. It is pure fantasy. I will tell you one thing, magic is not all light and playful and fun. It is much darker and you should be careful. Remember Karma… what ever you do comes back to you three times.

wicca isn’t like that. it is argued whether or not spells actually work, or you think they do [i personally think they work]. but be careful, wiccans are white witchs, and if you mess in something that you shouldn’t you can put yourself in some bad situations. my advice to you is don’t mess around with spells and things you don’t understand. there is much more to it than you know. if you are 100% serious, talk to someone that is wiccan.

I’m wiccan you can ask me anything I’ll answer you email me Witches_of_rose@hotmail.com :) yes there are brooms

We cant fly on brooms, but it would be cool if we could though.

salazar you have no idea waht your talking about

yes wiccans can cast spells but you can’t become a wiccan over night and if you want to be a wiccan you can not tell all of your friends and you have to study a lot about wicca and no you can not fly on broomsticks that is so foolish and you have to know about wicca inside out so you have to STUDY ABOUT IT OK.

yes, seeker. you see I myself am a wiccian, I own a flying broom. we can also cast spells.

Oh boy… To really answer this question, you have to understand what Magick is, and what it isn’t.

For example: “yes. I my self am a wiccian. you can fly on brooms. but if you do so, your putting your life at risk. meaning you do not want anyone to catch you, or fly during a thunder storm. yes we can also cast spells and some wiccians have wands. I have one. you are supposed to use it for defense, but no one follows that rule. I do not follow satin. I believe in god.” ~salazar803

That. Is. Not. Magick! (I won’t even start on all of the errors in that single reply.)

The spells we cast are no more than prayers. We believe that we have the power to change the world arround us; sometimes we just need a little divine intervention from our God and Goddess. (Not so different from any other religion, huh?) We believe that the earth (Gaia or Gaea) is a powerful resource that must be taken care of.

Obviously, Magick is not something to be played with! Wiccans believe that anything you do, comes back to you times three.

So, tell me, why would a Wiccan believe in Satan, a figure that’s considered “evil”?

Truth is, we don’t. In fact, there isn’t a character like the Christian ‘Lucifer’ in our religion. To give such a thing a name, is to give it power. There is no demonic figure of worship. Take it from a true witch.

To be honest, I like to think that religion is a beautiful jewel with many facets; there are multiple ways to worship the same thing. This is just the way I choose to honor the Great Spirit.

But, becoming a true witch is never easy. There are many things to learn, rules to abide by, and so on. It takes dedication and true passion for the Craft to really even begin to become a witch.

But, if you really believe that this is the path for you, then I suggest you start reading reliable books. (A nice way to differentiate between the good and the unreliable is the way they spell the word “Magic(k).” If it has a ‘k’ it’s usually a reliable source.) Read everything you can get your hands on. Talk to people you trust that are reliable witches. And after you’ve studied up (traditionally a year and a day) you become a dedicate. Meaning, you come before the God and the Goddess and you devote yourself to them and the Craft.

If you really think you’re really ready for all of this at twelve years-old, then so be it. But, I’d advise that you wait for a few years before taking such a big step.

Good luck, and Blessed be!

From a Christian perspective yes spells are real but they should not be performed. Just like Christians pray to God for answers so do witches to their gods. But the truth is there is only one God and there is Satan, the father of lies. Don’t be deceived because demons disguise themselves as angels of light so what may sound good really isn’t. The bible tells us not to perform witchcraft. Would you want pray to God for your answers or pray to Satan? 2 Timothy 3-4 says “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have an itching ear, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”I believe you would be putting a curse on yourself for trying spells. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good - Proverbs 15:3. I wouldn’t want to be on God’s bad side. So pray to Jesus, the name that is above every name.

Why do I always get here after ValiantPoison? SHE TAKES MY LINES!!!

But then again, I like to keep it short and sweet, so I let you detail freaks do all the arguing…er…”debating”.

I will tell you this. Wicca is a real religion. Yes, people can do Magick spells. And if you’re nervous that you’re young, that’s fine. In fact, it’s probably a sign that you’re more mature then a lot of kids by being considerate of other people and the harm you might cause.

I stared getting into the craft when I was nine, much for the same reason you did. An avid Harry Potter/other fantasy story fan, I devoured anything that sounded even remotely like magick. I discovered Wicca, but unlike you, I was all on my own.

I made some mistakes, but nothing to terrible. I wish we could fly on brooms too, really–but alas, we cannot. The broomstick flying myth has a lot of reasoning behind it actually (see above posts), but it can’t actually happen.

Our spells are a way to manifest different kinds of energies within ourselves to help strengthen us. It’s really amazing, and tangible, if you’re doing it right.

I really hope that you find what you’re looking for, and if you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to say so-I would love to help.

And Danninta, I think that it’s great that you are taking risks to figure out what you really believe in, and I think that one day it will pay off. A lot of Wiccans do find it hard to, Come-out-of-the-broom-closet, as we like to say, and I think that your mother, like so many others, has just been misinformed. I’d wait until I was a little older, and then explain to her what exactly Wicca is, but don’t use the word “Witch”. I find that often helps a lot.

Let people get comfortable with what you practice before you bring in the words that call for stereotypes.

Well…that was as short as I originally planned…crap.

Ahh, never mind. I have a mouth that’s too big anyway.

Wicca is nothing like Harry potter. . . Not even close. . . it is a religion with it’s own science (Craft) spells are a series of long drawn out spells with a set of rules to follow. the flying broom story come from some one seeing a ritual (Spell being cast.) in which the people rode a broom around a field showing the crops how high to grow, I think Raymond Buckland wrote that. a spell is little more than a directing of lifes energy. Also you need supplys and tools such as colored candles An athame cords in some cases a sword. . . if you call Dragons (watchers - Very strong forces in nature.) just for samples, the craft is not simple to learn. first you have to have a really good understanding of the religious side of the craft I’m talking a couple of years of studying then you will be considered a novice and may be welcome into a coven if you hold your beliefs in secret. Wiccans are basically plain ordinary people with every day jobs. About 85% of the people claiming to be wiccan don’t really have a clue. I can show you about 17 in my hometown, I can also show you the one person in my town that is the closest thing to a wiccan he’s into shamanism. A good comparisan of your idea and understanding of wicca is equal to what the TV series mash is to the actual Army. . . . . . Not to worry you have a lot of folks with you. . . in some ways modern wicca is much like buddism. . . . its a peaceful religion but historically it like other religions of ancient origan is has left a blood trail. . . . I always found it odd that one of the tradions of the religion has a god dying and being reborn later ancient egyptians Osiris or the Celtic Cernunnos (a stag horned god of the Celts and very popular amount witches/ wiccans.) But if you really like spells that work best and only work when the motive is right then I suggest you use a well known form of spell. . . Pray! to God above, I do

I left the Craft long ago for Christ.

I just want to meet a Wiccan that’s found the way to cast “Magic Missile”

Then I’ll convert.

They believe like we believe our prayers are answered. and they would be very insulted by your laughter.

I for one is a wiccan,yes you can cast spells!But you first for them to come you have to STUDY!!!For a 1year and a day.That is what some believe it whould be wise I didnt learn to cast spells overnight either!So the best advice I can give is to study and when you feel that you are right(no,this does not mean study one ritual and then say im ready!!!)yOU CANNOT FLY ON BROOMS!!!ok?I hope this was helpful.

I am wiccan and we are nothing like harry potter. Yes we can cast spell but not by just waving a wand. We can not fly on brooms. That is a tradition that is from england where when you get married you get on a broom and you a lifted. It is a fertility ritual.

Wicca has been given a bad rap!Wicca is part of a pagan religion nothing more, Yes wiccans do use spell to help them be a better preson.Some religions are different like roman catholics or Quakers

Never apologize for sounding like a kid. You are one and you should be proud.
