BLACK MAGIC-what is the difference between Witchcraft & Vodoo? Do you believe it can have any power over us?

Black magick is very rare.  Contrary to popular belief, VooDoo, Voodou, or Hoodoo, is not an EVIL religion that only curses people with voodoo dolls.  In fact most of the Voodoo rituals are for health and fertility.  \n\nYes those rituals do exist in almost every form of Witchcraft, but they are rare and hard to perform.  In most cases you wouldn't receive any kind of Curse on you unless you really ticked someone off.  \n\nIf you are worried that you may have been cursed or someone is casting spells against you there are some simple steps you can take.  There are various herbs that can protect you from things like this for example Tarragon and Aloe.  \n\nIf it is serious you can go to the website below to find a local coven that is willing to bless you.

hmm but they all relate to people who practise different forms of Magick for example necromany deals only with manipultion of the energies of the dead, vodoo, shamanism , alchemy and druidism,  are actually systems of belief , fortune teller tells someone fortune usually are full of crap a diviiner predicts their own future , and astrolger reads planetray signs , a witch or warlock is used to refer to someone who practises wicca/pagan beliefs, an illusionist  or conjurer is an entertainer no reall magick here I could go on but don't have the time although there are many titles when it comes to apractise as diverse and varied as magick there must be terms to differentaite , I sure if you look into christainity you can come up with just as many different names describing members who have different practises with in that system

Have you given her a reason to?  Anyway, if she is the sort of person who does "black magic" you shouldn't associate with her. She has darkness in her heart, and will only bring you down, "magic" or not.  Keep up your relationship with God, keep praying and staying faithful, and no "black magic or witchcraft" could ever harm you. Ask God to protect you from evil people and their beliefs. If you do not have a relationship with God and Jesus, please look into it and read the New Testament of the Bible. It will change your life.  Disassociate yourself with anything to do with any type of witchcraft or anyone who partakes in it. It is pure evil and is against the will of God.

Being Wiccan, that is a big YES!  Not only do I believe in magick I have seen it done and done it myself.  Magick is everywhere people just call it by different names, in the bible and other holy books it's called a miracle.

Witches as represented traditionally, are a fable. There are witches though who have an old enough tradition. Most of their beliefs, and practices come from one or another of the pagan traditions, sometimes, several of those. \nA spell cannot make you do something that is against your will. But, if the desire exists inside of you, it can be brought out and capitalized upon. So witches, warlocks or magicians, all use the common sense properties of the human mind and psyche. The effect of most spells however, is not immediately felt, especially when it involves some future events. So witches do exist.\nYet there exist better and worse scientists, and in the same manner some are more talented than others in witchcraft. Either way, you would not get what you expect for the most part. The true witch is considerably stronger than what you think, in one sense, and much weaker in another. Does it answer your question? There is much more that can be said about the theory of magic than can be covered here.

In a sense I believe that there is no magic. There is a mechanism to every occurence. The mechanism is how it occurred.\n\nOn the other hand, I do believe that there are occurences that we are not currently able to describe in a mechanistical way.\n\nSome activities can be fully explained by the person carrying it out, but maybe no one else. For example, a magician doing card magic may be following a specific step of rules to accomplish the trick. If he invented the trick himself, he may be the only one knowing how it works out.\n\nOn the other hand, I do believe that some tricks done by some magicians can not be fully explained by the magician himself either. Note the keyword "fully" here. What I am referring to here is that some tricks by some of the magicians are accomplished with the help of spirit forces.\n\nActually the use of magic has a long history, just as the use of hypnotism. It is just that in our days these activities are 'packaged differently for the masses'. What is today accomplished by an 'entertainer' was long time ago accomplished by a witchdoctor / witch / sorcerer / you-name-it.\n\nHowever, this does not mean that all of the tricks are accomplished this way. Most likely the magician himself uses a variety of means to accomplish his tricks. Some of them may simply involve following a specific step of rules. Others may be accomplished with the help of "smoke and mirrors" or quick hand movements & eye distractions. Yet the same magician may also have 'tricks' that are not explainable in but one way.\n\nNevertheless, even tricks accomplished with the help of spirit forces follow the rule that there is no magic. The mechanism in such a case is how the action was carried out by the invisible force.\n\nThe fact is that whether an action is accomplished by an invisible force or not, it is still [technically speaking] possible to describe it mechanistically. The only problem we have is that we do not have sufficient data to determine how the spirit carried out the action. If we did, it would not look like magic to us.\n\nOn the other hand, in this type of a case the magician may himself not exactly know how it happened either...only that it happened because he followed the steps for the specific so-called spell.

there is no such thing as black magic. there is no such thing as white magic. magic is just that. magic. it all depends on the person using it. you wouldn't call a base ball bat evil would you? now if someone took that bat and used it for violence then it would still be a bat wouldn't it?\nit would be the person swinging the bat that was good or evil. i know this dosen't really answer your question but i hope it at least cleared a few things up.

magic that powerful is very dificult to control and can have severe karmic consequences.  Be careful what you ask for you just might get it.

Yes.  Simple thoughts may not produce anything, but heavy concentration can yeild some surprising results.  I believe that long ago, man was attuned to this phenomenon and "magic" may have actually existed.  Over eons of time, this ability has gradually been purged from us from witchcraft trials and disuse and ultimately disbelief that such acts are possible.

I can not supply you with the information you require because without knowledge and experience of what you are doing this can be a dangerous thing. What I am giving you is information that may lead to a better understanding of 'Voodoo' instead. These are note from a previous answer I gave.:\n\nFor too many, the word “voodoo” conjures up some wild images. Weird curses involving bones and pins stuck in poppets. Secret societies making sacrifices to their demonic gods. Evil priests raising zombies. Media has given us a sensational but unrealistic view of the vodoun religion. Although some of these are mildly accurate (sacrifice, animal bones and voodoo dolls) they are but a small part of the religion that is practiced today. Just as in Wicca, the vodoun make charms and create spells for money, health, etc. In fact because of the images associated with this word, most practitioners prefer the term Vodou. Although media would have us believe the vodoun are strictly in it for self-gain, that’s not true. According to Vodou belief, magic shouldn’t be employed for selfish gain, especially if it would hurt someone else.\n\nVodou came form the tribal practices and beliefs of the slaves who were brought to Haiti from West Africa. In the 17th century, slaves bound for the West Indies were taken from over 100 different African ethnic groups. The beliefs and customs of all these groups combined to form Vodou. The two groups who had the greatest influence were the Fon and the Yoruba.\n\nThe most important religious practice was ancestor worship. By remembering their ancestors and passing down their knowledge from generation to generation ensuring that their religious traditions would live on.\n\nThe Fon believed in hundreds of immortal spirits called vodu. Because the people had personal relationships with the spirits, they needed to communicate with the vodu. Ritual enabled them to talk to the spirits. The most important elements of the tribal rituals were…\n- dancing, drumming and chanting to communicate with the spirits\n- animal sacrifices made as offerings to the spirits\n- a priest or priestess who interpreted messages from the spirits\n- possession of the bodies of participants in ritual by the spirits.\n\nThe main purpose of the ritual was to communicate with the vodu and receive their guidance in making important decisions. They did this by communicating indirectly with the spirits via the priest/priestess to help their followers determine who their personal vodu were and to interpret the messages for them.\nPriests and priestesses were chosen for their ability to connect with the spirits. They were said to have inherited this talent from their mothers or fathers. They were “born into priesthood”.\n\nPriests became the religious and community leaders of the slaves. Any rebellious priest was usually sold to prevent them from “sowing the seeds of dissent” in that empire. \n\nThese religious practices continue to thrive today for modern day Benin. Vodoun is the official religion. It is also the dominant religion in Togo and southwest Ghana.\n\nAs in every religion, there are those who use it for wrong. With any religion that deals with magic it is said these wrongful users practice black magic. Although legitimate priests and priestesses are taught both the good and the bad, they take an oath upon initiation not to cause harm to others.\n\nThe lwa most likely to assit in black magic are : Kalfou, Ezili Danto’, Marinette, Bosou, Ti-jean-petio, Maman Brijit, Ge’de’- Nibo, and Baron Krimine’l.\n\nOnce a priest/priestess begins to practice black magic, they are known as a bo’ko’. A bo’ko’ has no temple or devotees and does all his/her rituals in secret. Bo’ko’ are said to serve the lwa with both hands because they practice both white and black magic. When a bo’ko’ buys the powers of one of the dark lwa, he’she must pay a high price, usually life-long service to the lwa. This pact between t

I think of it as the definition of what witchcraft is .... The Craft of the Wise.\n\nUnlike what most people think, due to negative connotation, witchcraft is neither black nor white .... it is the practitioner that is good or evil.

"Voodoo" is more accurately (and respectfully) known as Vodun. Find out more here: http://www.religioustolerance.org/voodoo.htm

Yes there are people doing black magic to harm other people, not quite sure about witches though.
