All through the Holy Bible from the early Old Testament to Revelation 21:8 at the end of the New Testament we are admonished by God to keep away from the magic arts. How do you personally feel about magic; and the dark arts? Do you perceive any threat to law and order through this generally hidden activity? Christians frequently warn about Harry Potters witchcraft practices entangling young chilren with demon powers. Do you see Harry's practices as an open door into a generally dark world of evil spirits...or just a bit of silliness?
Sometime ago the Victorian government took witchcraft off the books. Do you think that move was the openning of a door for a free-for-all in that State with warlocks and witches doing what they want now they perceive "government permission" for all sorts of familiar activity? Do you think this move was a wise thing knowing witchcrafts history?

Wicca is just part of the once-trendy overall New-Age phenomenon.

I'm more annoyed by Aussie kids who have started to celebrate Halloween as if it's something universal.

Perhaps if we went back to burning witches ...

Witchcraft is clearly dangerous, particularly to kids - it gives them Hogwarts.

Is witchcraft dangerous to young children?

Nonsense.

If I wasn't so busy right now, I'd hex you good and proper.

Now. Back to my naked-moon dance. Where'd I put that darn pentagram chalk?

It depends on whether they are an ingredient or not.

I do agree with you wobbles. Wicca is part of the once trendy overall New-Age phenomenon but I disagree that its going quiet, if thats what youre thinking. I think its as trendy as ever. The Harry Potter books and movies have created an explosion of interest amongst young people regarding witchcraft. The problem for me, many years a committed christian and for many other committed christians, is that by practicing witchcraft you can actually open doors into a very, very real world of evil spirit powers. You may not see them but my very personal life experience...is that they are there. There are two ways you can have contact with an evil spirit. The first way is, that the spirit through ones own sinful behaviour, gets authority to torment the victim (everything in the spirit realm is about authority and authorities...read/click on Ephesians 6:12-18 for a bigger picture) and secondly by deliberately seeking the spirit powers. This gets done through Ouija boards, clairvoyance, seances etc. When contact is made with the spirit powers, one latches on and the torment begins...i.e. a voice in the head. Quite often a laying-on-of-hands by the pastor and elders at a committed christian church is required along with a confession of sin and a repentence just to get freedom. Im not into burning witches but I sure would love to see them go to Jesus to get set free.
