Wanted ur guys' advice... I know this is evil and of satan, but it's of a strong intrest to me, and I don't know how to stop myself
Wicca... most of the the time defined as witch craft, but isn't necisarily. They worship a goddess. Their symbol is a 5 pnted star standing for the 5 elements... water, air, earth, spirit, and fire. There's no dark magic. Their rede basically says do whatever you want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, and if you do purposefully hurt someone you'll get it back 3x over. It just seems to intrigueing to me. I know it's real. I've heard about incidences with it. I know I CAN'T get into it. I'm trying to stay far away, but everytime I hear about something supernatural it's the first thing in my mind. I was stupid enough to do the research, so I know exactly what to do if I wanted to get into it. I'm just trying to stay out. I don't know how to get rid of the temptations, and the weird dreams. I know I need to read my Bible, and stuff, but the temptations still come. Sometimes I feel like God is so far away. Like he hears me, but he doesn't want to answer. I sit and cry, and ready, and plead, but He never really reveals himself to me. but at the same time I can feel his love. It's something that lifts me up and sends chills down me. Makes me smile no matter what's going on. Makes me want to stay in the moment for the rest of my life! Any advice?

You are NOT alone in that, sometimes it seems as if God has put us on the back burner-maybe it is us who forgot Him , He is a jealous God, in that doesnt want other things to take His place in our lives, maybe seeing how well we think we can do on our own, and crash before we can really rely on Him? usually when we lose everything is when He shows up . but He is just waiting for us to reach out to HIM alone, without any back up . Id like to see other's views on this too. He may consider wicca as other gods before HIM? like in 10 commandments. OTHER GODS COULD BE ANYTHING THAT DISTRACTS OR TAKES US AWAY FROM Him. even tv, music, staying too busy to hear Him. JUST an observation. i know we dont mean to neglect God. Were human.

Your Bible specifically spells out witchcraft of any kind as wrong and as sin. Aside from that , how could begin to sell yourself short to a "religion" that cant hold a match to the real God, the real earth wind fire and rain. the real one who loves you, the lover of your soul, the creator, the rock eternal, the beginning and the end, healer, doctor and great physician, teacher and prophet, he's the only one who can satisfy. witchcraft is decpetive and does not tell you al there is to know on the front end. once your in, spirit guides and other nonsense will rob your soul, steal your joy, and pretty much screw up your life. dont even dabble in it. some young adults in my sunday schoool class are ex-crafters and they are a mess. please understand this is not something to play around with.. nabster

I agree with Nabster , also stay away from ouja boards, tarot cards. they may start out as fun, harmless. but they draw you in wanting more power, false security. take care! [;

Yea... I know an ex-Wiccan and an ex-Satanist...
I know I don't need to get into it, and I'm trying to not to!!! That's why I posted this! It seems intrigueing sometimes, and idk what to do about it. I love God's love, and I don't want to trade that love for a life of misery... but the weird dreams... the intrigueing magic... I try to stay away from it, but there are things in everday life that just can't be avoided... I'm doing really good right now! God is strong, so I know I can get through this.

maybe could write a poem or song about wicca vs Christianity? why worship the sun, when you can go straight to the source, and worship THE SON? [; just an observation.

The Bible says....."rebuke the devil and he will flee", you dont have to fight temptation strictly out of your will...God will do it for you. You are a blood-bought child of God. Jesus gave us power through the Holy Spirit to fight the fight and run the race. all we have to do is be strong in the Word(begin to learn and quuote it out of your mouth) and the devil and all his punk**s demons gotta go. Tell them they cant get to you unless they cross over the BLood that covers you and they are gone. do not mess with anything contrary to the word of God when it comes to spiritual matters. nabster

THAT IS SO TRUE, NOT IN OUR OWN POWER CAN WE RESIST ONLY WITH God in us! Thats rather comforting too.

Yeah... it should be that easy. I'm not struggling with it much anymore, but I still do. I stay away from it as far as I can... I still have dreams... and weird feelings... I know it's Satan fighting against me. I know he wants to win my heart, but I also know that he can't because I have a greater force on my side.

well, its more like trying to steal your soul than your heart . good to stay away. maybe rent this movie THE CRAFT. starts out innocent, harmless, wicca like spells. then backfires. scary! NO HUMAN WANTS TO FEEL OR BE POWERLESS, THATS WHY THESE MOVIES AND MAGIC DRAW FOLKS IN, ESPEC TEENS. who have less control at that time over decisions which concern them. in general. thru God, you can have strength to overcome. God wins in the end. [;

Well when I almost got into it I was very angry with God. I felt like he was getting me no where, so I wanted to go to the farthest thing from him.

oh yes, know that scene very well. afterlosing my sis. I ran from God, but understood and found me again and again. lost my job, same thing. felt like i was deserted. didnt know i was the one who pulled away. He gave me that job, I took it for granted. [yet still was set up by coworker]. careful what you ask for, i had started to hate it there[before the set up]anyhow. but needed the work too much to quit. just tolerated. while i looked elsewhere for work. nothing THEN EITHER. I was bitter yes. surely God had something better and id walk onto to another job before being set up. [ i had a feeling it would happen, another reason to look elsewhere]. lost any pride i had by then. had anger too! I WAS ASKING GOD why instead of what.

yeah that's exactly how I was... and I held it in too... cause I knew that if I told someone it'd get to my rents and I'd NEVER hear the end of the preaching...
