do try not to be insulting... okay?

witchcraft~magik: using spiritual power other than God's to cause things
to happen in the physical realm.

You stole my thought before I could think it! :D


I was going to say that we were discussing the spiritual/supernatural side of witchcraft. However, I have heard that illegal drugs are also used to acheive 'altered states of consciousness'.

Well, I am sorry, I meant no insult; I have just always accepted the def of "pharmacy" as one def of "witchcraft," a common interpretation? I am not yet persuaded differently, although I might be; but I find your "Bewitched" def kind of irrelevant, to a believer? At least it seems like.

My experiences with Meth are going to make it hard for anyone to alter "pharmacea" for me to any other def, which I note hasn't been extended here, yet...

"witchcraft~magik: using spiritual power other than God's to cause things

I find inadequate because 1) These things are irrelevant to a believer, and 2) "born again" defines as "change your mind" to many Christians, and I'm convinced that this is the witchcraft we need to consider; something that changes your mind (to say, thinking it is ok to use "magic" to alter the physical world, ok). Bewitched is a lie.

Like I have said more than once.....

Huh? There are a number of irrelevant and just strange things said here.
