Wiccans do not intentionally harm other people by casting spells on them. They do not perform sex orgies; otherwise, rare traditions include nudity and occasional sexual practices. These however, were closed to outsiders.
Those were mostly misconceptions about Wicca. Wicca is a religious belief system that worships gods and goddesses. A system similar to Taoist’ yin yang, Wicca believes in harmony with nature. Thus, it involves manipulation of nature through rituals.
It does not have a structure, but wiccans have priests and priestesses as leaders. They believe in the Book of Rede and the Law of Three Fold Return. These beliefs state that a person has the freedom to act according his will but he has to take responsibility over his actions. The second belief is similar to eastern Asia’s karma in which a person is awarded or punished depending on his actions toward a fellow human being.
There are different types of Wicca. These are 1734, Alexandrian, Celtic, Dianic, Eclectic, Gardnerian, Georgian Wiccas to name a few.
Robert Cochrane who attempted to restore the “Old Religion” developed the 1734 Wiccan tradition. “1734” is a cryptogram denoting a title for the name of the goddess. Its tradition involves meditation, chanting, channeling, and visions. Among Wiccan traditions, 1734 does not use the Book of Shadows. They do not have official hierarchical structure too.
Together with his wife Maxine, Alex Sanders began the Alexandrian Wicca. He was called the King of the Witches. They say Sanders worshipped the devil for some time. He experimented with homosexuality, magic, and healing. His Alexandrian Wiccans reflect those of Gardnerian tradition but focuses on ritualistic magic and is similar to Kabbalah.
A British civil servant in the 1950s, Gerald Gardner established his own Wiccan tradition. This tradition is one of the oldest and is considered by other Wiccans to be the beginning of Wiccan tradition. Worth noting, however, is that Gardner did not invent Wicca. He only compiled a number of spells, magic, rituals, and chants into a book called the Book of Shadows. Gardnerian tradition focuses on gods, goddesses, and nature.
Celtic Wicca is a combination of Celtic traditions, ancient Celtic belief systems, and modern religion. This kind of tradition focuses on the male aspect but later ventured on the goddesses as well to be in harmony with the nature. Celtic Wiccans use herbals in rituals, believe in divinity of creatures, practice reverence to women, and perform rituals to seek connection with their ancestors and land spirits. It emphasizes on poetry and magic.
The Feminist Wicca is the Dianic, named after Diana the Roman goddess of the hunt. Zsuzsanna Budapest in California founded the Dianic Wicca. While the Celtic Wicca focuses on male, this kind of tradition believes the female aspect is the true creative source of universe. Thus, Wiccans believe matriarchal communities exist in ancient times. Dianic Wiccans asserted that patriarchal system started the system of war. Their members were usually associated with feminine movement in the 1960s. This tradition proved that Wiccans are not ugly old hag who laughs as she stirs a cauldron.
There are different kinds of spells which can be used to achieve different kinds of goals. It could be about wealth, health, and the most famous, love. There may be people who would testify with the effectiveness of the spells, while there are others who may say that they are not getting anything out of them.
But why do spells fail? Followers and experts would say that there are many contributing factors why spells do not work.
Reason 1:
Spell-casting is all about directing your spiritual energies towards one goal. A clouded mind would result into an energy which can prevent what you desire from happening. In short, your mind should be in sync with the kind of spell you are going to use. The practitioner should believe in the spell for it to manifest.
Discipline is important. Concentration and focus is crucial when sending and making your intent one with the universe and its energy. This focus and concentration may be difficult to achieve immediately. Getting an experienced mentor could help you develop this kind of trait.
Reason 2:
Spell-casters would say that one of the major reasons why spells do not work is experience. The internet is a rich source of spells that are written by experienced spell-casters and those who only claim success. When following spells on the internet, you could always ask the caster for any proof that they have succeeded with their spells.
The experience of the person who is casting the spell is also crucial. Casting spells is not just about reading the incantation; it is also about studying the occult or the system.
Reason 3:
Of course, you would not get anywhere if you are using the wrong spells and the wrong materials. There are spells which may not work for a person but may work for other people. You can keep track of the spells which are not working for you. Although, you could also consider that they may not be working because you may lack concentration and focus while casting the spell. You could also write your own spell, especially if you cannot find anything that would suit your personality and your particular situation. Writing spells is not easy. Again, it would require studies and patience.
Reason 4:
Strong belief and patience are important. If you miss this, then you would surely think that the spell is bound to fail. A spell-caster should believe on his or her spell, if not, then who else would believe that it will work.
Spell-casters should also be patient. Spells do not work over night. There are times it would happen far from the desired period of time. If a spell-caster would cast a spell and expect it to happen within a year and nothing happened after a year, then it could mean that the spell is not meant to work for that period of time. The objective or the goal could manifest into your life after a year or even longer. Sometimes, it would even surpass what you expect.
Reason 5:
Another reason why spells did not work can be because of the negativity surrounding the caster. It could be real or an imagination, but negative energy could definitely affect the spell. A caster should remove any negative thinking when casting spells. Aside from that, most casters would prefer performing spells in private to avoid public scrutiny and at the same time, avoid negative energy.
