Being a witch myself, it's not a religion at all. I have no god/dess. It's how I live my life. I don't need some book telling me right from wrong. I don't need a person telling me either. Only I know what actions I can and can not live with. A spell is simply a prayer, but with energy. I have to connect with that energy force, in order to make the spell work. I have worked a spell and it worked every time. Now it won't, because I can not focus strong enough to the energy to make it happen. Wicca is not the same as witchcraft, though many want to believe it is. I believe that you are born a witch, not made one. You can't just read a book and be one. I don't need props to make a spell work. I don't have to check the phase of the moon to make sure I am doing my spell at the right time, or make sure the planets are all lined up just right. I don't need candles, an athaem, wand, circle of salt, or anything else. People who use them, are not strong enough and need their powers to aid them. All I need is my own mind and the ability to see what I want and make it come to me. I like to burn herbs, but mostly it's because I like the smell or because they help me focus or calm me down. I love to cook with them too.
I believe that if someone harms me and I dem it bad eough I will send out something to harm them as well. I don't believe in karama. I believe it's more about what I can live with.
