Replace W. With B.
And I heartily approve this Message.
Could it be Satan?
Witches walk a duplicitous path. On the one hand, they believe they can do magic. Yet when something goes badly, they say it isn’t real.
If you put a hex on someone and they die, was it your fault? Should you be arrested?
I worked with a Wiccan and she told me a) you can practice Wicca anyway you want and b) they don’t follow Satan. I responded “If you can practice it any way you want, why can’t you follow Satan?”
My sister was reputed to be a witch by her neighbors outside of Hurley New Mexico and she encouraged that. Her one acre lot was green, had trees and grass and gardens on it while the surrounding area was, of course, desert or semidesert. The neighborsare all of Spanish heritage- their ancestors were there long before there was something called Mexico. Ginnie’s secret was an underground stream that flowed from beneath the table top of Geronimo Mountain, the mesa a couple of miles behind her house, deep into the earth then almost resurfaced under her acre then dived down so that it was not evident anywhere else. She had a shed where she just dug down several feed and there was water. She had a pump and underground pipes to the rest of the property. She was a long time widow and let itinerant hippies use the two trailers at the back of her property in exchange for taking care of the gardens and grass and the pygmy goats she had. The neighbors all considered her a bruja and were a bit afraid of her. She encouraged that because if the state ever noticed that she had water on her property the state would have pushed her off the land and confiscated the water. While not a witch she was a fine astrology fanatic and made some of the best hand drawn horroscope charts ever which she never learned to sell.
Witchcraft = old time paganism.
***You make your own rules.***
Judges 17
“Everyone did what was right in his own eyes”
And how did that work out for them?
Time to reread THE EVIL EYE by Frederick Thomas Elworthy, a history of such witchcraft nonsense, written in 1895.
I have *lots* of Wiccan friends due to a lifelong case of geekdom, and I don’t know any Wiccans who actually *believe* in Satan. No following an entity you don’t believe exists.
Most of them are adolescents or recovering adolescents. Some of them are smart. A few of them are wise. All of them are incorrect, but I’ve yet to meet one I’d consider evil.
Wicca is pretty much a Contrarian thing.
All the ones I knew were either dopers or the weird kid in school types. When the company instituted Random Drug Testing, they rebelled. A coworker referred to them as “Statist Libertarians”.
I couldn’t help laughing at the “men” in the video who screamed, “You’re fired!” Touche, Trump.
It’s funny, yet sadly indicative of the moral miasma in which these people grew up. Probably the majority of them had a screw loose to begin with, but maybe others had been abused to the point of “splitting” from reality and needing some kind of religion that will presumably empower them.
If we conservatives are the “deplorables,” basically they’re the downtrodden. They’re not looking for meaning or structure. They just want control. Maybe in their imagination they can make the evil goonie Trump disappear.
Empowered to go to hell. Witchcraft is rebellion against Almighty God. Without God we are desperately lost and hell bound. Witchery is another lie directly from satan that says you are a god yourself. Our real need is to submit to God in Jesus Holy Name, not think we can become one.
Glory to His name.
That’s actually a great definition of the ones I’ve known. :)
