    Only with your permission! ;) That's how an ethical practitioner works.

    Witches probably come in all kinds of ethical gradations though :p (not speaking from experience)

    Satanism is not Wiccan. I feel it is more frequency and vibration. Sending out certain vibs, if you will. It's like you're sending it out into the universe and reaches it's directed destination by your Will.. It's learning to channel your energy to bring about what you desire, with love in the most perfect way.

    Using Nature, smoke, objects, verbal vibration and intuition. You do your affirmations daily to set the 'mood' Power yourself up as your reach your Mantra, your 'vib', charging your core with energy.

    When you have 'cleansed' your aura you lay your bait to attract the favors of the Lord and Lady yin and yang, your higher self, asking them to tea, so to speak. Paying them homage, bringing together in balance.. all within your circle.

    after a time with the energy source when you feel right you can write your question in a small piece of paper and burn it with the flame of a white candle. All within your circle.

    Watch as the smoke curls up and think about what you are wanting, feel it, see it, become it, be it.. whatever it is that you are looking for.

    Ask for a reply and be still and wait, listen to everything around you, let it take you floating gently through the universe of your soul.

    There you will find what you seek.

    Close your circle and know/believe that as it is asked, even before it leaves your lips, it Will be done, harming none.

    Stay in the LIGHT do not go beyond your power.

    Bright Blessings on your journey

    No one can spell you unless you give them your power.

    Something that really helped me out was this pagan forum - everythingunderthemoon.net

    It really helps you get you on your feet so you can figure out your own path in the realm of witchcraft. While I'm not a wiccan or anything like that, my religion still involves witchcraft, and it doesn't so much matter who helps you out. Theres lots of basic principles and ideas i.e. practice meditation to increase concentration and thus you'll get better at focusing your energy during magick.

    Make sure to read about witchcraft of other religions. I'm a Satanist so there are some things I don't agree with in that forum. Everyone is caught up in the 3 fold rule and karma, both things I don't believe in.

    All in all, it's a great place to get you started. You can create an account and ask for help and I'm sure there are a list of good resources (like books) that members have posted about. Just go take a look.

    One could always cast a spell that made themselves more appealing... That wouldn't be black magic... It could reinforce a life style that was healthier and happier.

    i am a post-theist witch. i used to believe in deities, now i dont. i feel deities are a good way to focus your energy, but they are not "real" they are a focusing idea to me.

    i feel witchcraft is the energy work. anything you do can be witchcraft if you give it that purposeful energy. kneading a loaf of bread, weeding a garden, making a quilt. you imbue the bread with healthy thoughts, the garden and soil with richness, and the quilt with good wishes for the recipient. like sleeping beauty's fairy gifts. you just think it as you do it.

    theres lots of resources, you might see if theres a pagan presence at a unitarian church near you. it is good to have a real-life guide. theres lots of books (personally i recommend Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard as a good start) and lots of people who would love to help you find your path. but they do not prosthelytize, the teacher will appear.

    Magical folk are not like Christians. They don't care if you believe like them or not and they will let the ignorant remain ignorant.

    Not only that, but Wicca and witchcraft are two completely different things. Wicca is a religion, whereas witchcraft is simply more of a craft.

    I'm curious about Satanism. Why are you a Satanist? What do you practice? I understand Satan to be Lucifer, the Bringer of Light and Knowledge, and in that way I can understand he may be misunderstood in a Christian dominated society. Then also know Satan to be Baphomat, a stinking demon and true Evil. I also see how Satan CAN be tied in to Pan, the Male energy in our existence, and thus something to be worshipped.

    Perhaps a Satanist can enlighten me.

    Thelema is pretty cool, and seems to be all encompassing of various philosophies, and esoteric, mystical wisdom.
