| ..... What is witchcraft you ask?..In this day and age, more than ever before, the question keeps arising. People are more and more interested to know what witchcraft is. |
.... Distantly derived from various pagan religions, mostly from the pre-christian era. . I would categorize witchcraft to fall somewhere between the essence of Earth structured religion, folk medicines, and natural forces of the will and mind.
|
| ... Defined by Aleister Crowley as " the art or science of causing change to occur in conformity with will" |
| Norse witchcraft is based on old Germanic Runic magic. |
| ... These are magical devices, associated with sound, color, image, numbers, and forming a matrix of magical practice. They're used for magic, talismans, worship, astral projection, spiritual advancement, magical medicine and more. . In this the runes are like the Hebrew alphabet within the Bible and Jewish Qabalah. Runes are the building blocks to Norse witchcraft. |
| .... Various forms of pagan religions including Wicca, Celtic, Maya, Druids, Aztec and Yoruba, use, or in some way derive or their own magical similarities from the Runes magic... I use my own craft as a way to help me find balance and to |
|
| help others, either with health, or personal growth or sometimes as a astral divination. . Others use it for a precise reason to attain a personal gain, or to set a curse or harm another. |
| .. ..I'm sure some Asatrus would probably disagree with me blending other pagan magical crafts in my work. .But I find that to blend magical faiths works better for me, than to work by one set of rules, or recipes . Kind of like the old saying, " There is more than one way to skin a cat", or " One man's poison, is another man's elixir ". The same is true with magic in witchcraft. . What is important is the intent for the magic, the type of influences you use during your work and how you control, and direct magic with your will. |
| .... Witchcraft , Sorcery, Wizardry, Magick,Voodoo. |
| .... Whatever the name or term deemed to the magical meaning, one thing is clear, it is real and it is nothing to be messed with by the inexperienced. |
