Default What kinda religion is Witchcraft?

Witchcraft is NOT a religion. There have been Christian witches, atheist witches, etc. There are religions who commonly are known to practice witchcraft, but a few-such as myself- follow the path as a religion and a lifestyle and do not do any witchcraft at all. These religions are diverse. Some are duotheistic, some are pantheistic, and some are polytheistic. Some people are even monotheistic. So, to explain the concept of God or Gods would be as diverse as listing any Christian denominations. Witchcraft is not just Wicca either, though certainly some Wiccans do practice witchcraft. It is nothing like Charmed, and that sounds like where you got all your ideas.

Witchcraft is magical practices that have nothing to do with ANY religion. For the idiot above who copied and pasted lies about Wicca, the two are not the same thing.In fact the vast majority of Wiccans do NOT practice magic at all.Christian witches have made up the vast majority of witches in the past. Today's witches can be of any religion or none. Quite a few are atheists.

Default What kinda religion is Witchcraft?

Witchcraft is a practice. Most commonly the practice of magic and spellcasting, but also includes a variety of holistic healing practices (energy healing, herbal health & healing, etc.), divination, and other occult studies and practice. "Occult" simply means beyond the range of ordinary knowledge; mysterious. To be a witch, all one needs to do is study and practice the art of witchcraft. There are witches in many different religions, and witches that don't follow any one religion. So it depends on which religious path, if any, a witch follows as to what their belief in God is.I am a Celtic Wiccan who practices witchcraft - so I honor and work with Celtic Gods and Goddesses.Wicca is a religion that honors both the divine masculine and feminine - God(s) and Goddess(es), honors and celebrates nature and the natural cycles of the year, and lives by an ethical code based on the Wiccan Rede.I hope that helps clear it up for you.Blessings.

Witchcraft is not a religion. Wicca is, which utilizes witchcraft. Many witches do believe in a God (or Gods) as well as Goddess(es). Who they honor, is dependant upon the individual. I don't blame you about Wikipedia. I don't like it because I don't believe it's reliable. Anything that allows anyone to edit the information is subject to misinformation, and can cause confusion.
