What's so bad about wicca practice?

Thunder Robot Asked by funadvice about 1 year ago, 39 answers.

Do people who practice Wicca go to hell?

So true... Answered by valiantpoison on Jul 28, 2008, 10:31PM

lol. Looks like everyone took my lines! ^^

But, the answer to your question really depends on who you ask. If you ask anyone who isn't some version of Pagan traditions in some form, then yes... A Wiccan or Witch (Wytch) would go to a place of eternal suffering (Aw shoot! Let's call it hell!).

But if you were to ask someone who practices some form of the Craft, what do you think they'd say? Any guesses? Let's go with a No... for the sake of my sanity. Also depending on who you ask, they may tell you where they would go. Some would say that the spirit would move off to the west to a place called 'The Summerlands' or a Witchy version of 'Heaven'. And, some would tell you about reincarnation... But if I have to explain that too, it'll take another really long post that Circius would make a big fuss over... (She's quite the hypocrite when she does so...)

In my oppinion, I believe that what I'm doing is completely justified. If you really think I can be damned by something that doesn't revere evil in any such way, so be it.

But I know that what I'm doing is right. I'm not going to try to convert you, and I don't suggest trying to tell me what I've already heard. If you really think Pagan traditions are so terrible, why not go ahead and get rid of the traditions that come around with your own holidays. So, no wreaths on the doors or trees to put presents under at Christmas. No bobbing for apples on Halloween. No decorating of eggs at Easter. And no Dancing around the Maypole on May first. (There actually are people not of a Magickal faith that still do that! I, for one, was shocked.)

We really aren't so bad. Just take a few minutes to read up some of what we actually do with an open mind. You may be surprised at what you find. And if you think that you'll be struck down for learning such things, then don't.

Well, I got off topic, didn't I? ^^

Personally, if a Witch/Wiccan/Pagan truly believed they'd be sent to such an awful place like the Christian 'Hell', I don't think they'd have continued to practice. I know I wouldn't!

I guess we won't know until we die... Until then, there will always be more than one perspective and more than one answer depending on who you ask.

Feel free to funmail me!

Blessed Be!

I kinda believe that wicca do channel the (authentic) powers of god. they are not devil worshippers. They worship the earth and the power of mother earth (god) from what I understand. I think wiccans are very misunderstood.

megan, my friend. As your friend I'll talk to you as such.

What do wicca do? Do they cast 'spells'? Do they do 'black magic? Those types of things are not of God, but of Satan who want to trick you into thinking it is harmless. What you are playing around with is very dangerous. Turn from it while you still can. May God lead you.

I don't think many wiccans do black magic anymore. and the magic is more like a ritual. it's not like many people go find three peeled eye of newt anymore. Just like christians take communion, there are a lot of rituals that are misunderstood. don't get me wrong, I am not wiccan. but I have no problems with those that practice. I think it is just a different way of connecting with god. like I said... really misunderstood. thanks for looking out for me though, that's really sweet.

I also know that wiccans believe that anything they do to others will come back on them times three. so having good intent in anything they say or do is strongly encouraged. that clearly clashes with the devil worshipping, black magic, voodoo bs that some people associate with witchcraft.

Same as the spells that really do work through harry potter stuff. It is not of God, even if it is called white magic, natural healing, etc. God lets us choose what we want. It really isn't free will either, because He has given us the ability to discern truth from counterfeit. If you have doubts about it...

There are even a few covens in our little town of 6200 and they are not just seen as harmless.

There used to be a sex shop on main street. The mayor said because of free enterprise, the town council could do nothing...Two years of prayers dried up the business and the house was razed. One down, one to go. The other is three miles out of town and they just announced a going out of business sale. This process has taken four years.

No, REAL Christians have nothing to do with wicca, the Bible clearly says not to. And really? we took the ideas? Christianity has been around much longer than 'wicca'.

Yes, that is right, God did give mankind the ability to discern truth from counterfeit, but it is our 'free will' which comes into play when we decide which way we 'choose' to go.

There is nothing wrong with Wicca...as for those who have said that Christianity has been around longer than wicca...shame on you...there is a reason that it is called the old religion. It predates any kind of Christianity...check your history. The first church was Catholic. If it was the first religion then why is there no mension of it in the Middle Ages?

Also...THERE IS NO DEVIL IN THE CRAFT. How can wicca be evil if there is no devil in it. If God created the Earth then why can't the whole world be the church?

One last thing...If you fear something try doing a little research. You speak of gifts from God. Isn't the ability to speak with those who have passed a gift? If everything comes from God then so does that.

Everybody should be able to follow and believe in what they want. Without having people come door to door and try and convert you. I went to a christian shurch and at the end of service they did and altar call. ( turn your life to jesus) and people tried to get the visitors to go up and get saved ( holy ghost, follow jesus) when they didnt the people said its the devil inside them . This is why I left christianity. Own up for your mistakes dont blame everything on the devel. I am converting to Judaism. We view it as wrong to be a wiccan. But hey I think there is no right or wrong religion. There is more than one path to the divine. If people had this mind set. a lot of the things (wars,crusades,holocaust,9-11) would not have happened.

BLESSED BE!! hehehehe

No... Actually we believe in reincarnation... good or bad... unfortunatally for us good even the bad too. Good do not believe in harming innocent. We do protect our selfs from the evil.

What's so bad about Wiccan traditions?

Nothing.
Are Wiccan's going to hell?
From monotheistic religions like Christianity and Islam the answer is yes.

Other religions including the Wiccan faith would undoubtably answer no.

My question is can you guarantee you are going to heaven if you are Christian. Are you sure that your christian denomination isn't a cult that breaks away from true Christian beliefs. My Christian friend from India was told not to get baptized in a church here in the U.S because her family thinks that these newer denominations out here are false.(This is not my opinion, I'm Wiccan and think there are many branches to a tree and that none is more important than the other.)

My question to Christians is are you SURE you are going to heaven?

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Him. If Jesus is asked to come into your heart, reign there, and you want to serve Him wholeheartedly, and you've asked Him to forgive all the sins past and present, you believe He died for your sins, was resurrected conquering death and that He is God The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit, and this is done sincerely, then by all means, heaven is guaranteed!

No one on earth can ever take that simple message or act of faith away from you, NO ONE, NOTHING will separate you from the love of God in Christ.

There are many branches, but straight and narrow is the path to righteousness and wide is the path to destruction.

I have been asked What is the motivating factor in your life? It is the fact that I'm going to heaven and I'm taking as many as I can.

Nothing magic about it. Just as He called me, and at THAT time, I listened or I guess HEARD Him for the FIRST TIME, it was another miracle performed.

He is calling all of us and is singing over each and every one of us on this earth, all at the same time! Pretty amazing, Follow Me is all He asks.

*sigh* I feel like being an dumb @$$hole right no so I will

Though Christianity has been around longer than wicca, Pagans are ancient along with Egyptian magickal practices such. yes YOU DID take OUR PRACTICIES!!! Halloween is SAMHAIN Christmas IS NOT the birth of Jesus, it's YULE the winter solstice of the withes, Jesus was born in JUNE on the 4TH, THE CROSS WAS CELTIC, Easter was OSTRIA, a FERTILITY holiday, ever wonder where the coloring of eggs the bunny came from? It was celebrating the union of the God Goddess, also celebrating the Goddess OSTRIA

Wicca me not even be a centry old, but ti's candy @$$ magick inspired be the celts(no offence I swear) white magick. Also, look up Maseen Sorcery it's be around since the paleolithic times! Hmm...lets see, WITCHES ARE MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE, which is nothing but mistranslations lies conjured up by 2 men who wrote under various pin names. Mages, sages, NATIVE AMERICANS(which the Christians slaughtered, plagued, rapped, stole their homeland as well as BURN their homes, one of the reasons why almost all the MAYANS are extinct), other such beings of the occult are far more ancient than Christianity sweety. The beliefs of the occult go back to cave men. Evidence such as carved skulls or even venues figures support that claim. Try doing research before you let something ignorant slide out your @$$.

As for Jesus, he never claimed to be a peace bringer, the female side of the family are literally prostitutes wh*res, he's related to king Solomon whom received 13 seals for everything BY DEMONS, he caused riots mayhem THAT'S WHY he was Crucified!! As a child he was a wild a little brat. Read the gossip of Thomas. Oh, one of my favorite quotes from Jesus-Thou who does not have a sword shall sell his mantle buy one.
He wasn't the son of god, there was no son of god, it was mistranslated from Sun God into Son of God. Jesus never died, he was put into a coma state. It would takes nearly a day if not days for people to die on the cross, he was only up there for 6 hrs, that would be less than pathetic if he died within 6 hrs was the son of god. The shroud portrays that he was bleeding, DEAD MEN DON'T BLEED! Like I stated, he was put into a coma state. A plan was forged to save him he got away.

Do they do 'black magic?

No Wiccans don't do black magick, the REDE is against it. NO wiccan can practice black magick, if they do they're not really wiccan.

I invite you to come out west and celebrate meeting the God of the universe in our church through true worship. Worship that starts with Sunday school and through songs and the sermon and fellowship afterward. He is calling you and singing over you, too!
Not even I can help with a transformation, it is all done by our creator, He is the only one who will change a heart. If it is hardened, He will make it moldable as clay if you let Him.
I am not your messenger and never will be, but soon there will be.
TODAY is the day of salvation.

Sorry you were burned. Many imperfect people try to find the perfect church. If you do find a perfect church, GET OUT, you'll mess it up. Goes for me, too. The only good in me is Jesus.
