Thank you for your poll answers. [Spirituality & Religion]

If you haven't answered my poll yet, pretty please with a cherry on top go do so. :)

But thank you to all the responders so far, and I'd like to clarify what witchcraft really means since someone asked, and there seems to be a lot of different answers.

Witchcraft is mostly practiced by Pagans, or Wiccans, more specifically. It is the use of magick (yes with a 'k') to change, connect with, or improve yourself and the world around you, by using the energy that surrounds us all. Magick can be practiced using herbs, crystals, ritual, festivals, candles, etc. (There are practically endless ways.)

The use of white or black magick is a moral and personal choice. Black magick does not necessarily mean magick with "evil" intent.

The devil does not exist in Paganism or Wicca, therefore witchcraft has nothing to do with the devil.

Furthermore, most people who practice magick (not just Pagans) don't believe in the devil or a source of evil in general.

Obviously I'm not going to change your mind if your faith and opinions are already set, I just thought I'd clear up that definition.

@gemimaia good or bad?

@Slivereyes Not really a such thing. But I haven't used magick for harm if that's what you mean.

@gemimaia Yeah there really isn't such a thing as good or bad but actions and intent matter. Asking for personal wealth isn't a bad thing but if you gain it, it's what you do with it and how you act that is the difference.

I'm of the viewpoint that everything in the occult is neutral until the user makes it not be.
