There's no short answer because it's a sacred mystery overall. Just like prayer it can sometimes work quickly or may take time for the right circumstances to come together in order for a request to be filled, and any spell or prayer is a request; The Celtic Dagda had a cauldron that fed all who asked and never emptied, the Christian God tells us to ask and we shall receive what we need, the Universe provides. I convinced my Catholic Mother that spells do work by showing her with a series of controlled experiments similar to those used to prove that healing prayer works. I placed three plants of the same species together in as exactly the same conditions as possible. I even replaced the soil the plants came in and rinsed off the old residue with de-clorinated water. Each plant was then treated differently. One I talked to when watering, simply remarking on how it had grown or things I observed about its condition; chit-chat. Second plant was only spoken to once a month for three months when I said a non-religious spell over it on the Full Moon eve. The same general care was provided. The last plant wasn't spoken to at all, but only cared for as one would any plant. The "spell plant" far out grew the others in height and root developement in the same 4 month time span. Did the same thing with quartz crystals and they too will grow or change. You only have my word on this, but any experiment can be repeated and if done right will produce similar results.

Like attracts like in empirical science as well as metaphysical sciences. If you put out the type of energy for what you need then something close to your need will arrive; The more specific the request the better fitting the reply.

Wicca is a religion. It's not about spells. Many Wiccans also happen to be witches. Witchcraft IS a magical practice. Whether it works or not depends on whether the witch knows what he or she is doing, and what they are working for. Will it make you fly? no. In fact, magic rarely produces observable effects. More often it simply influences a situation.



For example. Someone might do a spell to help them get a job. If that's all they do, it's unlikely to work. Magic is not contrary to the laws of nature. It simply cannot overcome the forces working against it. However, if you get a degree, send out resumes, do interviews, etc. it might encourage a successful outcome. Can that be proven? No.



Which is why we generally don't care if other people believe in it. People who believe have generally had experiences which suggests that it works, and the logic of magical work does indeed seem logical to them. They don't expect those reasons to convince others.

Wicca spells can work for Wiccans. In general, they're as effective for Wiccans as prayer is for Christians. But remember that not all witches are Wiccans, and you'll likely keep yourself out of trouble for using the wrong terms.



BTW Bill A ....

If you've studied this sort of thing for 40 years, you must not have studied hard for 40 years. The Rede isn't at all what you purport it to be, and it comes originally from Aleister Crowley. You conflate the ideas of "will" and "want", and seem to show the Rede as permissive, when it's anything but.



It's much easier to be a Christian, hurt whom you please, so long as you accept Christ and ask forgiveness before you die.



Wicca isn't "about" spells ... it's about honoring deity. I know many Wiccans who don't cast spells at all, prefering instead to simply live good lives, honoring deity.



The K at the end of Magick is not used by all Wiccans either. This is another vestige of Crowley. At least you're right about the reason ... to discriminate between stagecraft and actual magick.



As to the Christo-drivel, regarding other religions ... let's just say that the Christian position is that anything that differs from what the individual Christian believes about their own brand is heresy. Christians can't agree on what is essential Christianity ... Protestants believe Catholics to be idolators. The Baptists believe one thing, the Calvinists their own. There are non-trinitarian Christians, Mormons fancy themselves Christians, the seventh-day adventists ... If you're going to give a "Christian" perspective on Wicca, why not be specific as to the brand of Christianity. Personally, I've not found one brand of Christian that isn't condemned to hell for heresy by a multitude of other Christians. I'll play it safe and avoid them all.

sure spells artwork. No i can not prepare it to you from now on that i will prepare to you that a strawberry is crimson and tastes candy in case you have never seen or tasted one. Wicca is what's asserted as an 'experiential' faith; you may adventure it to comprehend it thoroughly. psychic vampires exist. They feed off of different peoples potential and 'sap' them so-to-communicate; drain their potential so as to have ability over them. have you ever had somebody make you sense such as you have been 3 inches tall by way of the way they talked right down to you? they could no longer have time-honored what they have been doing, yet they have been 'stealing' your potential so as to construct up theirs and makes themselves sense extra suitable than you.

Wow feel the love? Sorry just gobsmacked with the elitist attitude of the answers here..



http://wicca.com/celtic/wicca/faq.htm is one of many FAQ's out there.



Psychic vampires are just users and abusers. Selfish people who just take take take & will move to the next group once they've drained all the resources of those they demand help from. They are everywhere - regardless of one's culture, ethnicity or faith.

The other two are very likely to be right. I have been researching wicca. They try to act really good but are not and try to get people on shaitan's(satan) side.

I have done it with results within a week, but I feel it depends on how bad satan wants you in hell. If God loves you very much then to satan you are a trophy and one worth putting a show on so he can extremely torment you when you get to hell, because he thinks that way he is getting back at God. Once you get into wicca you give demons legal rights to attach themselves to your life and they are more than willing to make your life a living hell if you wise up and decide to seek God again. ♥ † ♥ ☺

From my 40 years of study of various Religions, Sects and Cults this is a summation of what I have found.



Wicca is a neo-pagan religion that has been growing in popularity and acceptance in the United States and Europe. There are many websites and books claiming to teach “real” Wicca, but the truth is, there is no consensus amongst Wiccans as to what the religion is all about. The reason for this is that Wicca, as it is practiced now, is only about 50 years old. Wicca is a belief system that Briton Gerald Gardner cobbled together in the 1940’s and 1950’s from a variety of religious traditions and beliefs as well as Freemason rituals. Since Gardner published several books espousing his system of worship, many offshoots and variations of Wicca have sprung up. Some Wiccans are polytheistic, worshipping more than one deity, while others worship only the “God” or the “Goddess.” Still other Wiccans worship nature, and call it Gaea, after the Greek earth goddess. Some Wiccans pick and choose parts of Christian doctrine to embrace, while others totally reject Christianity. Most practitioners of Wicca believe in reincarnation.



Most Wiccans will vehemently deny that Satan is part of their pantheon, citing major doctrinal differences between themselves and Satanists. Wiccans generally promote moral relativity, disdaining labels like “good” and “evil” and “right” or “wrong.” Wicca has one law or rule, called the Rede: “Do what ye will, harm ye none.” At first blush, the Rede seems like complete, uninhibited personal license. You can do whatever you want, as long as no one gets hurt; however, Wiccans are quick to point out the ripple effect of one’s actions can carry far-reaching consequences. They articulate this principle in the Three-fold Law, which says: "All good that a person does to another returns three-fold in this life; harm is also returned three-fold."



One major factor that contributes to the abiding fascination with Wicca is the purported use of spells and Magick (a deliberate misspelling intended to separate Wiccans from magicians and illusionists). Curiosity seekers, as well as spiritual neophytes, are most eager to delve into these mysteries. Not all Wiccans practice witchcraft, but those that do claim Magick is to them what prayer is to a Christian. The difference between the two is that Wiccans claim magick is simply using their minds to control matter, or they are appealing to their favorite deity to do them a favor, while Christians call upon an omnipotent, omnipresent God to heal people and to intervene and work in their lives. Because the Rede disallows witches from hurting others and the Three-fold Law spells out the consequences for Rede-breakers, witches who practice magick prefer to call themselves “nature witches” or “white witches” to further distance themselves from Satanists.



Wicca is basically a religion that is about minding your own business and living peaceably with your neighbors and environment. Wiccans are eager to draw parallels between themselves and biblical Christianity for the sake of earning credibility, but what does the Bible have to say about this religion? You won’t find the word “wicca” in the Bible, so let’s evaluate the beliefs in light of what God says about them.



Wicca spells are idolism—Romans 1:25 says, “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things, rather than the Creator…” Who wants to settle for second best? In Isaiah 40, God paints a picture of how much greater the Creator is than His creation. If you are worshipping anything besides the Creator, you are not only spinning your wheels, you are guilty of idolatry.



Wiccan spells bring false hope. Hebrews 9:27 says, “…Man is destined to die once, after that, to face judgment.” God says we get one chance at life, and that is it. There are no do-overs. If we don’t accept God’s gift of Jesus in our lifetime, He judges us as unwilling to be in His presence, and we are sent to hell.



Wiccan spells bring disillusionment. Mark 7:8 says, “You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.” God is God, and we are not. We have a decision to make. Are we going to take God at His word and adopt His worldview, or are we not? Knowing God takes a lot of discipline. Wicca is a religion that takes a pack of lies, ties it in a romantic ribbon, and searches out a well-intentioned, but lazy and gullible mark to sell its hollow doctrines.



Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says, “Let no one be found among you who… practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells…Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD...” Wicca witchcraft is a sin and God hates it. Why? Because it is an attempt to cut off our dependence on God and get answers apart from Him.



Sin isn’t just a heinous, socially disagreeable action. Sin is our decision to disagree with God on any topic—to rebel against Him. Sin is saying, “God, I want to live my life my way.” Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death…” This isn’t bodily death, this is spiritual death: eternal separation from God and all the blessings that His presence brings. This is the definition of hell: the absence of God’s presence. That is what our sin gains for us.



Thankfully, Romans 6:23 doesn’t end there. It goes on to say, “…but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” God knew that we would all rebel in one way or another, and he provided a way for us to avoid that separation—through faith in Jesus Christ. Wicca witchcraft is nothing more than another lie from Satan, the enemy of our souls, who “prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

Wicca isn't about spells, and no spell is a "Wiccan spell."



A Wiccan may chose to indulge in such acts if they see fit, but our religion is about dedication to the gods, not "magic" or "Satan."
