Witchcraft is about what?

Question

is it about cursing someone?

Answer 1

Witches are, first and foremost, healers.

Answer 2

No it isn't.

Witchcraft is a practice mainly using the elements and natural tools (i.e. herbs, minerals, etc.) to influence the energies around you and act out your will through magic. Magic is energy and it all depends on your intent when casting a spell. However there are certain aspects that have to be observed when using magic, for instance the threefold law, where whatever you send out comes back at you 3 times.

Witchcraft is mainly used in pagan religions like Wicca; however you don't have to be Wiccan or even pagan to perform it. For instance teenage girl trying out a spell are doing witchcraft, but they aren't necessarily pagan. Anyone who actually practices witchcraft is called a witch, male or female

Witchcraft is not a religion, it is a practice. Anyone saying that being a witch is their religion is wrong. It’s a practice like a sport or something some people just have a natural gift for it; however others have to train for years and years to become powerful. However it is a very serious practice like medicine or law, you don't go into it all willy-nilly

Wicca is a nature/fertility based religion and is most known in the common world as a religion that uses witchcraft, but it isn't the only one.

Answer 3

Witchcraft is not about cursing people, its a practical aspect of a religion called Wicca that is dedicated to healing and Goodwill.

Answer 4

No. The whole cursing thing has been used by others to defame us. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. Only that it is rare and frowned upon. Witchcraft as a practice is as  diverse a field of study as you're likely to find. Healing, hermetics, divination, alchemy, herbs, rocks & gems, astrology, astronomy, ritual practice, shamanism, vision quests, meditation, astral projection, are some of the categories that could fall under a witches study.

Answer 5

Btvs said it well.

Witchcraft is, bottom line, energy use and manipulating the world around you to affect your reality while maintaining or gaining balance.

Some witches do use curses, but not all. Some are part of a religion, but not all.

Over all, witchcraft is a practice, a study of the magical and natural, a lifelong pursuit.

Answer 6

No Witchcraft is not about cursing someone. It's about much more than that. Witches harming people is a stereotype, brought about to change the image and make people afraid of them and also afraid of the practice of Witchcraft.

When really Witches were and still are midwives, healers, and are spiritually wise. They also possess certain psychic powers and the ability to manipulate energy through imagination and emotion. It's a craft.
