    This is the Wicca section. Many Wiccans happen to be Witches. Not the flying, cackling evil hags, but nature's children, people who are dedicated to the art of the Craft and follow under the Rede. Why would you ask if we believe in ourselves?

    Of course I believe in myself. I'm a Witch. I'm a member of an entire coven and tradition of similar Witches.

    No, but they are historically just women who had a good knowledge of natural medicine, who inadvertently challenged 'established medicine' which was a male preserve. So they were scapegoated and accused as withes. Incidently, the great plague was made worse, by the killing of witches 'familiars' which were more often than not, cats... with their destruction, the rat population which carried the plague, was allowed to thrive without its natural predator keeping the numbers down

    Yes, I believe - I am one. And to clarify, witches do not necessarily "run in the family" and there is no such thing as whatever "spunts" is rambling about. Witches "sucking" the life out of people is an old wives tale and just feeds the ignorance that still exists regarding our faith. And yes, it is a religion.

    There is witches and warlocks all over the world.All it is a term for people that practice rituals and spells that have been learned from ancient times.They are not what we imagine as in fairy tales.

    I believe there are a) people who think they are witches and b) there used to be people who were very clever and figured out how to cure people, birth babies or revive dying animals and that those people were persecuted as witches before we had medical explanations for these phenomena. I do not believe in the concepts of sympathetic magic or nature worship.

    No, because they are (imo) things of myth and fairy tales. And I'm not singling out witches, the same goes for wizards

    I do beleive that there are people who try to harm people by using their psychic as a bad tool instead of a good one but I beleive even these people are human! Of course we cannot be harmed if we close down our energy links with them, but we have to watch out for their clever tricks.

    Sure. They say they are witches so I believe they exist. Whether they can do spells (or whether those spells actually do anything) is another matter.

    punished?

    well i think MrLogic cornered the market on that answer.
    my less informed more "fun" answer is i beleive there are people out there who hurt us and we call them witches and believe they destroyed a part of our lives. usually it means cheating girls or girls who steal others men. i beleive in those witches for sure. i have an ex that is now married to one. but the joy in all that is that she is theone who really suffers in the end cause he was an ass.

    If you are referring to humans who perform magic to harm others..well, I do not believe in them. During the early days in Salem, there were "witch" hunts when so-called witches were burned at the stake simply on the word of another that she had "magical" powers..people were so frightened that they became hysterical and acted upon such lies! Joe McCarthy engaged in "witch hunts" in the 50's..same result..innocent people "burned at the stake", only it was a different kind of burn at a different kind of stake. Frightened people manufacture all types of boogie men..sadly! :(
