Im willing to support local witches and farmers. I love food and witchcraft tools I can use. Plus altar decorations too. I love everything

[@Storytime2023x]

I support farmers, but not if they are into the occult, like evil witches.

@@Storytime2023xWitches are not evil, it is just spirituality, there’s nothing evil or sinister about it.

[@Storytime2023x]

@@gregorei It’s so nice of you to help this poor, ignorant, old fool with your expert advice. If I am ever confronted with a question that I can’t answer on my own, you will be the first person upon whom I will call. Thank you so much!

[@Storytime2023x]

Witches practice the occult and are in league with Satan. Don’t be fooled by witches who say they are into “white magic” or “white witchcraft”, because there is no such thing. There are plenty of videos by ex-witches on KZbin who can tell you better than I how wicked it is and how they managed to escape its grasp. I hope some of you can escape it or - better yet - just not get involved in it. Turn to Jesus Christ for help. Amen!

Is there any advice you can give to people who are thinking on taking the path of witchcraft?

[@Matthew_James]

Do your research. Look into the history of witchcraft, the good and the bad, and you will know if it’s right for you or not. There are too many videos on KZbin showing witchcraft as something glamorous, but there is a lot of study involved regardless of which path you go down. A good place to start would be reading books by Doreen Valiente, The Witches Bible, by Janette and Stewart Farrar, Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft, by Raymond Buckland, and a good introductory book is Wicca: A guide for the solitary practitioner, by Scott Cunningham. Cunningham’s books are very easy to read and give a good introduction to some of the beliefs and practices typically found in modern Wicca and Witchcraft. Good luck ⭐️

[@lockandloadlikehell]

Just start practicing You don't need to read a lot or study in depth, necessarily Just do it

[@camilia198773]

You must study 📖 📓 study everything before you even consider whether it's for you or not. Once you figured it out... study study study and then make sure you study. Don't get taken for a ride. STUDY

@@Heartless-oi3sp by doing your own research. There is not really a one book of everything. You just start somewhere and go from there doesn't matter where you start.

18] And to the angel of the church of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like to a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass. [19] I know thy works, and thy faith, and thy charity, and thy ministry, and thy patience, and thy last works which are more than the former. [20] But I have against thee a few things: because thou sufferest the woman Jezabel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach, and to seduce my servants, to commit fornication, and to eat of things sacrificed to idols. [21] And I gave her a time that she might do penance, and she will not repent of her fornication. [22] Behold, I will cast her into a bed: and they that commit adultery with her shall be in very great tribulation, except they do penance from their deeds. [23] And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts, and I will give to every one of you according to your works. But to you I say, [24] And to the rest who are at Thyatira: Whosoever have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will not put upon you any other burthen. [25] Yet that, which you have, hold fast till I come. [26] And he that shall overcome, and keep my works unto the end, I will give him power over the nations. [27] And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and as the vessel of a potter they shall be broken, [28] As I also have received of my Father: and I will give him the morning star. [29] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. The Revelation of St John

To be more powerful in magic you should take your spell books and throw them into the garbage can. Your powers will increase100 times more. The 13's and Grandmothers now command this. Tell all in the craft to do so immediately.
