am i a witch or just crazy?(help!)

[gloves123]

hey guys, i found this on a web site and it really describes me.
so if it DOES discribe me alot then does that mean im a witch?
I cast some spells and curses.
But am i really a witch or just crazy?



I am many things, I am a Daughter, a Lover, and a Friend. I am a Teacher, a Student, and a Woman. I am many things, Wear many costumes, And act in many ways. Yet beneath each mask I wear, I am a Witch. I am a Priestess, I follow the Path, I follow the Old Tradition, I follow the Ways of the Wise Ones. I seek to know the God, I seek to know the Goddess, I seek to know myself. I am a Witch. Though I may only dress up, For eight sabbats a year, And thirteen esbats in turn, I am always a Witch. Though I may not always dress in black, Or leave my hair wild and free, I am still a Witch. I do not worship Satan, I've never even met him, Yet many see me as evil, And magick as a sin. I do what comes natural, What the Gods have taught me, And although it does not conform, I am still a Witch. The Goddess shows me beauty, The God has shown me life, And Earth, and Air, And Fire, and Water, Teach me what is right. And Spirit in its mystic ways, Teaches me about myself. That I am a Witch.

A Witch can only be made through practice and dilligence. A Witch does not curse people, nor practice Black Magick, Witche's dedicate themselves to helping others and brining peace and happiness to those around them. We are kind and peaceful and wise, we do not judge and seek only to help, not asking nor expecting a reward for our actions. THAT is a Witch.

Just wanted to point out, witches can curse people and/or engage in Black Magick. 'Witch' isn't the same thing as 'Wiccan', and it's possible to be a witch without being religious.

Anyway. I don't think you're crazy. If you want to be a witch, then be a witch.

Witch is derived from the Old English term "wicca" for masculine or "wicce" for feminine. A Wiccan is a Witch, a Witch therefore is Wiccan. Wicca as the term and Wicca as the Religion, while it is used most often to depict followers of Gerald Gardners religion, are 2 different things.

I never said they couldn't curse or practice Black Magick, I said they don't because doing so would violate the Law of Karma which is a universal belief shard by the majority of Occultists and Witchcraft practitioners.

I respectfully disagree.

Not all witches identify as Wiccan, or vice versa. Though they may have originated from a similar word, they are not the same thing.

I'd like to point out the word 'majority'. Yes, many witches believe in karma, or something similar, but not all do. I'm sure I could find plenty of witches who wouldn't hesitate to use dark magick, and who don't believe it will come back to them 'threefold' or at all. Therefore, it's not exactly correct to say that 'A Witch does not curse people, nor practice Black Magick', because some do.
