The Bible is "old". There was no internet, less books and lots of illiterate people. Fear is a big challenge to overcome in all humans. Fear is a major useful emotions to control humans
Once I was hacked by a Nigerian hacker who demanded money. I wrote back to him "I spend 10 years in India and am pretty good in witchcraft ... don't you dare threaten me again or I will use my black magic on you". I never heard again of this African hacker.
In short: It's just fear and ignorance that people are against Witches and Witchcraft. The Church is known to be an institute of big power for many centuries. There is only 1 way to gain/keep power and that is to manipulate people and using fear is a good one for that. Witchcraft is a good one to use, because no one can proof anything, and the unknown is scary to the unenlightened soul
Very well put, I have 3 friends who are witches and one is wiccan, they are very peaceful people who truly operate out of love, most people are still caught up in the false acquisitions and assume everything that they have been told was correct, no one takes the time to research and find out the truth and of course that bible is the main problem and belief of religious people, they would probably be shocked to learn what they really are about.
people think they operate from the devil, far from the truth they don't even believe in the Christians entity devil, they believe that evil is in the human mind and action of the individual they do perform spells but not to curse people or manipulate others or conjure up demons to go and kill or harm someone.
they have to live by the Wiccan creed or the witches creed both of which states that they are to harm no one or harmful actions to anyone, if they practice this type of spells, they will have it fall back on them 3 fold and it will be ugly because they operate out of universal love.
they believe that we are all one and should help each other when needed and do kind deeds regularly, they cast spells to heal, assist, spiritual guidance,rid someone of mental distress, help someone in any way they can, as well as to assist themselves in different matters, do as you will but harm no one is their motto
. there love and feel connected with nature and the beautification of nature, and taking care of earth like picking up trash thrown around, planting follows taking walks in the woods and meditating outside under the moon that sort of things,also they do not bash other religions at all, they respect other peoples choice, and they don't try to shove there on others or argue to defend themselves they are comfortable in their own skin.
They are very private people who continually seek and learn about ways to be spiritual beings, they do use divination to receive guidance from spiritual beings , to reach their higher self and enlightenment. there's much more. It does bother most of them that people still have fear and hatred of them because they still believe the lie about them, that originated in the olden days.
Witchcraft is actually a spiritual path it was considered the old religion,but they prefer a spirituality practice.They will not deny the fact that there are some individuals who call themselves witches that do black magic to harm others,but there is no associations with them and they aren't truly witches by nature.You have the good and the bad ones, just like there are good and bad Christians, it's life. Just thought I'd shed a little light on the situation.
