LISTEN TO AN AUDIO SAMPLE OF "Persecution" HERE
Witches do not believe that Wiccae has anything to do with the devil. Most Witches do not believe in "evil." There is no concept of sin or need for forgiveness in Pagan traditions. There is no need for salvation, as there is "nothing to be saved from." The main tenet of Wiccae is called the "Wiccan Rede". It states "An it harm none, do as ye will". Basically, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, anything goes. The supreme command of the Anton Lavey's satanic bible is "Do what thou wilt". The only difference in the Wiccan code and the Satanic code is the phrase,"an it harm none". Jesus said that the love of money is the root of all evil. However, the love of money is rooted in selfishness. Selfishness is the root of sin. Both phrases "An it harm none, do as ye will" and "Do what thou wilt" reinforces selfishness.
This witch craft site will explore why God despises witch craft and the reasons why. It will also explore the difference between "black magic" and "white magic". Is there really such a thing as a "good witch" and a "bad witch"?
According to Wicca, a "Warlock" is a fake witch...an example being those who were accused of being a "witch" and burned at the stake in medieval times.
A "Wizard" is a "witch wanna be". After studying for one year and a day, the "Wizard" becomes a "Witch". Wicca can either be male or female but my experience with them has shown that there are more female than male.
The main reason God objects to witch craft is that it is a form of rebellion. Basically, the witch is trying to be a spiritual mover and shaker without submitting to God. For example, a witch will put a "spell" on someone. If the spell works, where is the power coming from? It is certainly not from God. You have to pray to God for Him to intervene in your life. God will not necessarily say "yes" to your request either. He will if it is His will. A witch casts a spell and gets immediate results (satisfying his/her earthly nature), the Wiccan becomes convinced they have power. In actuality, this power came from evil spirtitual forces. The bottom line is this: If you are seeking supernatural powers without submitting to God and you are getting them, where are they coming from? In the book of Exodus, we find the story of Moses as he led the Israelites out of Egypt from slavery. There is witchcraft (both satanic and from God) in this story. When Moses first went to Pharoah requesting that the Israelites be freed, Pharoah laughed. Aaron (Moses brother) cast his rod down and it became a snake. God did this. However, Pharoah called his magicians and sorcerers in and they cast their rods down and they also became snakes. Who did this? God? I don't think so. This is a biblical example of satanic witchcraft coming into play. However, God's power was stronger. Aaron's snake devoured the other snakes. This story tells us two things: 1. God and Satan sometimes empowers people to do miraculous things. 2. God's power is stronger than Satan's. Later on in this story, Moses and Aaron, following God's orders, caused a plague of frogs to come upon Egypt. What happened? Exodus 8:7 "And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt." One must remember that Satan was once Lucifer. Lucifer was the highest ranked angel of all before he got the idea he was better than God. Lucifer lost his place in heaven and became Satan. However, he has not lost his power as of yet. Why does he empower people to do what seems to be mighty things? Basically, he wants your allegiance. If he grants your desires nowhe knows you won't seek God. Look how Satan appealed to the carnal in the story of Adam and Eve. Eve was instructed by God not to eat the fruit of the tree of life (nowhere does it say it was an apple). Eve saw it was beautfiful. God told her if she it ate she would surely die so don't eat it.. Satan as the serpent asked Eve,"Hath God said, "Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" Gen. 3:1 Satan was making Eve doubt what God had said. Then he out an out lied to her and told Eve that she wouldn't die. Gen 3:4 Since Eve chose to believe Satan's lie instead of God's truth, all mankind has suffered. There is no difference in what Eve did than what a witch does today. The witch or warlock chooses to believe in Satan's lies rather than in God's truth. This is why God objects to witchcraft so vehemently. Of course, religious fanatics have done great evil in the name of God concerning withcraft but that is another study. What is the difference between Satan's miracles and God's? Satan appeals to the carnal while God appeals to the spiritual or eternal nature. Satan gives you instant gratification, God has your future in mind. Is there really such a thing as "black magic" and "white magic"? A "good witch" or a "wicked witch"? Not really. While a "good witch" tries to use her power to help people, his/her power does not come from God. Therefore, the witch is actually in rebellion against God because the witch is denying the truth of God while being distracted by Satan. Yes, it may make the witch feel good to help those in need and there is nothing wrong with helping someone. But the end result will be that he/she will never put their trust in God because they feel like they don't need him. Those who practice the dark forms of "black magic" or the more pure form of withcraft knows exactly where their power comes from and that is where their allegiance lies. It makes no difference as far as God is concerned whether you are a "white witch" or a "black witch". You have failed to put your trust in Him and this has eternal consequences. Jesus said in John 6:44 ""No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day". I remember reading a book written by someone who supposedly had a vision or revelation of hell. In hell, there was a witch. She was angry, very angry. Why? She cried out, "Satan, you lied to me! You said I would have power!" Why was she in hell? Jesus said in John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
