I cannot say that I'm particularly religious or for that matter spiritual, or does having a deep love for nature come into this? My friend says it does. She is a witch, a 'green witch' who connects completely with nature. She has a knowledge of herbalism and believes we all have a need to preserve nature for medicine to heal. I do find her life fascinating.
Her 'spell work' involves the use of crystals, herbs and essential oils and nature.. She told me that spells manifest and put out positivity into the universe and are unique to each person, it's all about intention.
So now when I stir my coffee, I think about getting rid of any negativity from my day. I don't really know if it works or not, but now I'm in the habit of doing it, I have to say it does have at least a positive effect on me.

Today, Wicca is considered a form of modern witchcraft, and the focus on magic and spells. I knew someone that was into that. If one wants to get to heaven, the Bible speaks against it and that, makes it a serious matter, because we need to prepare our souls for the afterlife. Our souls never die and it would be sad to miss heaven.
@LadyGrace My friend has different beliefs from you. She has her own deities and nothing to do with the Christian God. You cannot force someone into your own way of thinking by preaching the Bible to them if they do not believe in it. I accept her as she is the same way she does me. Live and let live. Satan, Hell, Heaven are for those who have the Christian faith, she does not.

And that's her prerogative. I have no problem with that and I was hoping that you wouldn't feel defensive about it. That is her choice and it should be honored. If you have read my posts, I never try to force my beliefs on anyone. I may discuss them here and there, but it's not right to force anything on anybody and I don't think that's even possible because people do have their own minds and can make their own choices and that's a good thing.
@Ceitidh You're a very good friend to accept her just as she is and that's the way it should be for everyone. She's lucky to have you as a friend.
I remember and you brought this to mind, that when I asked the Lord to save me, I didn't have to be any special way or do anything special in order for him to love me or save me. He met me right where I was and accepted me just as I was, and that was really great.
