TO ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW: WICCA is a Religion and a Beilief System. Although I am a Witch - I am not WICCAN. A Witch must follow her/his own Path.
Even though I am Christian I see Wicca as being interesting and not all that demonic cuz true Wiccans do not harm ppl for their 3rd rule. The media makes it as if witches are all bad that's not true have a blessed day.
just curious to understand why the girls in the movie were so eager to invoke a male entity when more often than not in the true CRAFT we're trying to reconnect with the devine FEMININE...(?) -- one of the many things about this film I have a hard time getting. The whole theme was and is largely about empowering women spiritually in ways other paths haven't . It's hard to reconcile this male entity giving and taking the girls power away at whim. I prefer "Practical Magic" myself.
@mochawitch Unfortunately the male writer & director didn't have the sense to use a divine feminine force as a focus. I've always been strongly guided by my own and outside reflections of the divine feminine, much more than the masculine divine. But I've realized that both feminine & masucline run very strongly within me but not as seperate forces. Being a very self-aware and very happy gay male, I always celebrate and honor my third gender & spirit. Try looking into a group called Reclaiming.
I know that is a movie, but you want to learn? At least they used a group of 4,
unlike the fake "charmed" power of 3 B.S..

@TheMagicalkids It's actually taken from Calling the Watchtowers, which is something done within a Wiccan ritual to call the elements. 'Invoking the Spirit' or Invoking the Gods is done afterwards.
Magick is real. I learnt the hard way and found the cause of my ignorance. Don't mess with something you don't fully understand. My world now is upside down from magick. Only because my lack of knowledge and greed for power.
Can anyone explain to me the background pf this entity known as men-ol or manon? I've searched, and outside The Craft I've found nothing. Did the makers of The Craft create it so as not to offend Wiccans?
@hectorbolshevik Its hard to tell but the term is similar to the Hindu Cosmic deity "Brahman" often
n considered the pervading essence of everything animate and inanimate in the Universe.Brahman is not only the cause of everything He is Everything!!He is some sort of Pantheistic God..Since Hinduism is considered a pagan religion by many and Wiccans widely believe in pantheism..Manon could have been borrowed from "Brahman"
I am a witch, it was a choice for me many years ago i was lost the the call to nature filled that void, being a witch for me is spiritual. I am one with the universe, to me the power is the power of love and the force and energy of the world. if you go down to the river and see the water, or feel the earth beneath your feet, and the wind in your hair. this is what brings me the greatest depth of the infinite goddess and god
As a practicing Wiccan Witch of over 15 years, I'm rather alarmed at how many commentors are asking what powers people have!
I hate to break it to people so bluntly, but magic (without a 'K'. Llewelyn Publishing introduced the 'K' to make it all seem much more mystical) in its truest form, isn't so tangeable and physical in nature. This is reality, not Heroes or Charmed. Affecting change within your life, takes time, knowledge, experience and concentration.
@seph1902 Magick, in the broadest sense, is any act designed to cause intentional change. To change nothing into something and something into something else. The spelling with the terminal "k" was repopularized in the first half of the 20th century by Aleister Crowley when he introduced it as a core component of Thelema. It is to differentiate magick from stage magic.
@MrWeareone777 Stage magic isn't real, so why would we need to differentiate? I know Crowley used it, but Llewelyn ran with it and made it mainstream, which people seem to hang on to.
@SkyFoxCode I disagree but only to the point that the movie although does largely dramatise the effects, its the message it trys to convey, 4 young witches unpractised in the magickal arts start to effect the world, slowly they all become seduced by the power it controls in varying degrees, until finally one loses control and uses it negitively. Absolute Power - Corrupts Absolutely.
@SkyFoxCode I think they just over exagerated the effects of magick to make the film more apealing to people, but they kept the one message that whatever you send out comes back to you
I enjoy a lot of the actual practices portrayed in this movie. Sadly the directors felt like they needed to add alot of 'supernatural' elements to keep the audience hooked. I think that this movie could have easily been made with less off the flair...when it gets crazy in the last third of the movie and portrayed what an actual witch fight might be like. Craziness would still have insued and I think it may have had more kick. but thats just my opinion.
@MotherMoon333 True. Plus, too many wannabes seem to forget the "golden rules" if you will such as how everything sent out comes back x3 (good & bad), no personal gain, harm none, no love spells or potions, importance of safety circles, releasing & thanking deities called upon for rituals when completed, & the all important rule that knowledge & thoughts contain as much power & strength as casting in & of itself; & no-no #1: dabbling w/o knowledge, respect, & humility for the craft itself.
Does anyone attribute luck to any particular element? I'm only asking because I don't find much information as most people believe you make your own luck.
If that's true.. I'm a master of my own luck as I find myself inconceivably lucky in every aspect of my life. But then again, it maybe how I view my life too.
On occasion I hear people talk about manipulating elements. I sometimes wonder if my specialty is wind.. considering all the times I'll be outside/inside and wind will be hitting me and only me. But my mom is the same way.. with wind. Weird, right? ^-^
@luckykrazy thank you for sharing that with us. You should look into that being your element. Look for other signs, do you like intellect? Imagination? etc? These are elements of Air which is connected to wind (unless your arts are wielded somewhere else. Your name, birth number, etc might also have clues so keep a lookout.... most importantly... do what feels right to you. :)
Imagination is all I have, for better or for worse. But I've always wondered how people think my birthday and lucky number affect me. It's actually 13 on both accounts, as I was born on Friday the 13th and it's a number I coexist with and consider lucky. But yes, I feel a connection with wind that I don't personally find weird.. but when I describe it to others they naturally react with various other theories or ridicule, lol. But thank you for sharing your feedback to my comment! =-)
@luckykrazy Ah, Friday the 13th.. such a heavy impact it carries. My best friend happens to be born July 13th, and he shares your sentiments. However, you do realize that Friday 13th only has negative connotations because it was considered a lucky number to the witches, right? The Christians demonized it for such reasons. Maybe you're more connected to this path than you realize. As for ridicules.. that is for morons.. why judge when life is so sacred? ;) Take care!
the second slide is very unlikely to happen unless you evoke the god or gods angrily. even then usually one does not practice magick so. usually it is a personal, and truely magickal experience that has much meaning to your own life, rather than what is seen here. Sure some of the same concepts are applied, but usually the result isnt as such.
Whatver dude. Read up on wicca, learn what it turley is. We belive in god still. We just beleive in his bride as well. We dont worship any thing called satan nor would we sell our souls to anyone or anytrhing much less something evil.
@joneskil1000 He was known as the black pope not black priest. And secondly wicca and satanism are two different practices. And further more it's a movie.
I like that that they represent the Craft almoust completely realistic , many of those things can be done in real life too , though some of those ( levitation for example) require years of practice , and deidicated work. Magick is not simply a mean to provide supernatural effects or gain something , it's a way of live .
This is one of the only hollywood Witchy movies that has the closest replica to magick. besisdes of coarse the snake part and the lightning but then again anything is possible
It's not at all like in the movies, but it is real. Most believe that dreams aren't "real", but they just take work on another plane of reality. Magick works on the same plane as dreams and imagination, and then manifests into physical reality from there. You need to be able to enter an altered state of consciousness (without drugs, of course) similar to the hypnotic state.
I know they all start out chanting "earth, air, fire, water..." but what happens at 0:06-0:11? Does Nancy start just chanting "air, air, air, air..." or am I just hearing it wrong?
Actually, they all start stating their own element sign's ^-^ Nany was shouting "air, air, air" sarah was chanting "earth, earth", Bonnie was "fire, fire" And Rochelle was shouting water.
This movie is frighteningly exactly similar to my life its weird. For example, Im Sarah, and then there are my 3 other friends "who just happen" to be witches. I swear..Its meant to be...O.O
The trivia stuff is fine, but the power itself has many names for sure. Shamanism, WitchCraft, medicine wheel, hindu to voodoo "plus tax!!" j/k on that one,, ya get the point. ,, Flash
The energy is what it is. Shamanism, Wiccan, "new age" vodoo to Christian "holy rollers etc etc the power is in us all regardless if your a medicine man or whatever. for some of us, its born in, for others, its well earned "practice makes perfect etc we all have it, use it for the betterment of us all.the Magic/k is one thing, the religious part varies. you can be, for example, a Witch, but not Wiccan. you can be Wiccan, bot not a practitioning Witch (working the Craft of the wise etc.
not all witches do the same things. I do agree it was very exaggerated. And I don't think the girls worshiped evil, it was just that nancy lost her way and used her gift for evil.
no, but are you %100 sure the witchcraft depicted in that movie was wiccan? Wicca wasn't even mentioned once in the film. And wicca is diverse as it is. No offense but sometimes I find it annoying that all witchcraft is labeled wicca. It's almost like saying that all prayer is christian.
Well, Wiccan is based on Witchraft, so they have the same foundations. Like the Bible, there are many different religions that spawned from it, Christian, Baptist, Catholic, but they all believe in the same stories and savior. Yes, I am a Witch.
I suppose that what you mean by witchcraft you mean british witchcraft. Yes, wicca does have some connections with some of the ancient crafts. What I find interesting is that with wicca unlike ancient paganism, allows anyone to become a witch. I mean all ancient pagans participated with religious rituals but wasn't it only a select few that were witches/shamans? But I guess thats with everything now a days. Anyone can study anything. Thats a good thing I guess.
um from what I gather, the reason that this movie is rated "R" is because it is kinda scarry. The scene where nancy puts an illusion on whats her face where there are snakes, spiders and things in the bath. That's pretty much why this movie scared the crap out of me. I thought that it was a great film, and showed how a someone with powerful magic can be screwed up if that person does not know what the hell their doing.
"Its the lesson of abused power. it was what the movie was about, Eclectic type to make a true point, un-like other movies about witchcraft where virtually nothing is real wicca, witchcraft. in that contects, it was a good education that magic/k is what it is. its good and or evil is the intent of the practitioner, not the power itself. best of hollywood on the subject to date for being hollywood.,, Blessed be,, Flash
This type of thing is an insult to paganism/occultism.
These things should be tapped into to touch the Divine, not to gain "powers", to dress in black mini skirts and claim your local occult shop as your new trendy hang out.
I do realize that this is simply a movie. However, too many people have taken it seriously.
pfft its not far off ( as far as this scene is concerned . yeah its still a movie( one of my very favorites :) ) but this scene is close and if you think about :) the search for mere powers has a price so you can rest easy snowhiteosered :) the movie fully illustrated what "happens" when you do just that :) and so i dont think you have to "worry" so much about what might be an insult to paganism or occultism lol it is what it truly is:).... besides , ever hear of kids playing with matches ?:)
'm glad to see hat despite my dissappeaence on my videos i get a full theological discussion on what is/isn't wicca/magicks etc.
I would lik to thank all who have contibuted in an equal mann, an as the old poveb says "You Only Reep What You Sow" so just a warning to all who criticise any altenative choice to the "Major" religions.
if someone can help about whats the name of the book the they were usin well f there is reall///cz i watched the movie and some of these thing are really true....please if someone can help me about that :)
There are many different Texts that can be used, but let's get something straight
WICCA is the RELIGION....WITCHCRAFT is the Magick itself and WITCH is one who practices it....but the person does NOT have to be a WICCAN in order to be a WITCH.
Witchcraft is NOT a game or some 'idle' pursuit...it REAL and an Energy...which can be used for Good or Evil. BE CAREFUL....
@BOBCATBIKERBABE - Let's get this STRAIGHT - I did NOT say that Witchcraft is either Good OR Evil - I said it CAN be used for either or. What part of my statement didn't you understand?. It is the User's Intent. Magick is neither Good nor Evil - and whether you think or believe that Evil is Man-Made, that's your right.
Hi you're right WICCA is a belief but not all witches are Wiccan. There are many who are not, and do not agree with the threefold law etc. As far as good & evil, there is no such thing really..just sayin
@chuntaro1991 The book Sarah is given in the shop the first time she goes with the girls, isn't real as far as I know. The front cover is mirrored on the back, and no author can be seen.
Some of the prinicples of the film are true, but the glamourisation of everything isn't. It was all hyped up and exagerated for film.
this movie is great! it came out when i was in the 6th grade...i remember my girlfriends and i tried doing the whole wiccan covenant thing, but we honestly didnt know what the hell we were doing! it was fun, tho...damn, i feel all old and shit now! lol
you whats interesting she played a witch when she was really young to faruza balk she was the worst witch on disney and she grew up to play nancy a really powerful witch its great i think
Lol! It's not "Men-Ol" as the descriptions for the vid says. It's actualy, 'Manon', a French woman's name taken from a French film called, 'Manon of the Spring'. Pat Devon was a Wiccan consultant for the film and she advised them not to use an actual deities name lest countless teenagers attempt to rush out and try to reinact the invocation. Originaly, each girl had their own name for 'deity', with Rachelle using, 'Noah'!
they are as real as you and me. I'm a practicing warlock for over 10 years...i started when i was about 9 and my abilities have increased ever so greatly. Someone high above has given me these abilities so i use them to help and rebuke people.
just so you know you shouldnt call yourself a warlock unless ur evil. warlock means 'oath breaker' if u cont. 2 call urself that then ur not a witch...
"I'm a practicing warlock for over 10 years" - truly? And what exactly are your abilities? Can you predict the future or perhaps figure out things otherwise impossible or hard to know?
warlocks are oath breakers and deceptive- thats the leteral translation- they were banished by the coven for those resons, they are never abel to come back into the covan and are outcasts.
I love this movie, even though being a wiccan I'll admit some of the rituals done is this movie are full of shit but they do have some real parts but you can't hex people,get what you wish for,etc because it does always come back it's called karma people. ps fairuza balk is hott!!!
It's an interesting movie. It's hard to know what a "true" ritual is, when corrupt sects and religions either polluted what was available with nonsense and/or destroyed anything traditional. The Romans and Greeks recorded almost nothing (and that was propoganda), the Celts recorded nothing at all, virtually no spells (not myths) from Egypt, Babylon or Sumeria are known. If there's mystic knowledge, it's not traditional, so you can't know for sure what is based in reality and what is not.
I absolutely agree with you. I am wiccan myself at least the movie gave the wiccan way of life more exposure that's pretty much all it did as far as I'm concerned.

In my thoughts, blood can be a catalyst for when it is needed. Sacrafices are made to strengthen magic by breaking bonds between the caster and the subject. That's why sacraficing animals is useless, because there's no spiritual bond between them.
Well said, lass! I am just entering the occult myself and I find it shallow that anyone at all would dare to judge anyone, especially when it comes to beliefs, races and prefferances. I think the world would be better if people were more open-minded.
i think even if this was done in real life its their choice how ever they preform their ceremonies and as for the sharing of blood you will find many spells that include that its more symbolic then anything.
I know this is an old conversation but while they are both have the meaning of 'not-christian' etymologically both the words heathen and pagan evolved out of terms which basically meant rural people/villagers because this was where pre-christian practice survived longest. I'm happy to call myself pagan (or neo-pagan)as I did grow up in a rural village!
And Nancy calls east tower Air (with snake), Bonnie calls south tower Fire (with butterfly), Sarah calls north tower Earth (with bird). It's like it's all wrong.
well all tohese animals ar also asosiated with earth cause they caN LAND ON IT TO. anD THEY WERE BORN ON EARTH SO THEY DON'T NEED TO DO THAT. (MIND MY CABS)
i think a butterfly is more earthly becuz at first its a worm or some shyt then it turns into a butterfly a bird is more air becuz ya kno its always in the air lol
What is truly ignorant is the use of the word 'pagan': which is a Christian adaptation of the "gentile" of Judaism, and as such has an inherent Christian or Abrahamic bias, and pejorative connotations among Westerners, comparable to heathen, and infidel, mushrik and kafir, in Islam. The ancient wisdoms are polytheism, shamanism, pantheism, or animism.
Well I'm well and truely blessed under the element of fire however i feel i'm attuned to all elements, All elements tend to strengthen when my energy is high or weaken when my energy is low.
How sad it is that the wisdom and knowledge of the ancients was lost, We can thank Gerarld Gardener for turning 'the craft' into a circus sideshow called Wicca.
Come now, that's rather ignorant. Even though, I am not wiccan, I do see value in it. Gerald Gardner, Ray Buckland, and other 'founding fathers (but not forgetting the mothers)' of wicca or other pagan traditions have paved a way for more of an accepting society of pagan traditions and witchcraft in general. Today, it is OKAY to be NOT Christian. And you won't be killed for it. Is it because of them? Well, they helped.
Magick doesn't adhere to stereotypes, everything in nature is magickal. Oi, men and women are both magickal, they just represent a different side of the spectrum, dark or light, male and female, water and fire, earth and air.
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to put all this here, just ask me if you have a question.
Actually, it doesn't matter which element you were born under, you can attune yourself to any element of your choosing.
Nothing is fixed, and you aren't required to adhere to any one thing. It's not like you won't be able to work with someone born under the same element if you are in a circle.
Also, there's more than just your sun sign. I'm a cancer in my sun sign but I'm gemini rising and I have three other places where air show up in my charts. So one could say I'm inclined to air.
TO ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW: WICCA is a Religion and a Beilief System. Although I am a Witch - I am not WICCAN. A Witch must follow her/his own Path.
Blessed Be To Akk If Yiou.

the second slide is very unlikely to happen unless you evoke the god or gods angrily. even then usually one does not practice magick so. usually it is a personal, and truely magickal experience that has much meaning to your own life, rather than what is seen here. Sure some of the same concepts are applied, but usually the result isnt as such.

I like that that they represent the Craft almoust completely realistic , many of those things can be done in real life too , though some of those ( levitation for example) require years of practice , and deidicated work. Magick is not simply a mean to provide supernatural effects or gain something , it's a way of live .
Blessed be !

Never disclose your a wiccan to anyone good or bad.
For if they know they may cast a curse upon you.
So be careful to keep your magic to yourself or to a group you can trust.
If not it can lead to horrorfic problems.
Magic is something that not everyone should do.
It is something you must have respect for and if you don't it can be really bad.
Practice only good magic for the world needs it.

Hello Raven
Wow you are right for this is as close to the real thing as you can get.
During the last hurricane I did a blessing for protection before it started.
We had three trees fall and only one small branch went into the roof.
My neighbors had trees fall on their houses and our yard was full of litter.
But nothing severe happened to us I credit that to the powers that be.
So blessed be and take care.

skokerg12 3 years ago
It's not at all like in the movies, but it is real. Most believe that dreams aren't "real", but they just take work on another plane of reality. Magick works on the same plane as dreams and imagination, and then manifests into physical reality from there. You need to be able to enter an altered state of consciousness (without drugs, of course) similar to the hypnotic state.

Are you Wiccan?
PrinceChristopher1 3 years ago
no, but are you %100 sure the witchcraft depicted in that movie was wiccan? Wicca wasn't even mentioned once in the film. And wicca is diverse as it is. No offense but sometimes I find it annoying that all witchcraft is labeled wicca. It's almost like saying that all prayer is christian.
harry911tk 3 years ago
Well, Wiccan is based on Witchraft, so they have the same foundations. Like the Bible, there are many different religions that spawned from it, Christian, Baptist, Catholic, but they all believe in the same stories and savior. Yes, I am a Witch.
PrinceChristopher1 3 years ago
I suppose that what you mean by witchcraft you mean british witchcraft. Yes, wicca does have some connections with some of the ancient crafts. What I find interesting is that with wicca unlike ancient paganism, allows anyone to become a witch. I mean all ancient pagans participated with religious rituals but wasn't it only a select few that were witches/shamans? But I guess thats with everything now a days. Anyone can study anything. Thats a good thing I guess.

um from what I gather, the reason that this movie is rated "R" is because it is kinda scarry. The scene where nancy puts an illusion on whats her face where there are snakes, spiders and things in the bath. That's pretty much why this movie scared the crap out of me. I thought that it was a great film, and showed how a someone with powerful magic can be screwed up if that person does not know what the hell their doing.

There are many different Texts that can be used, but let's get something straight
WICCA is the RELIGION....WITCHCRAFT is the Magick itself and WITCH is one who practices it....but the person does NOT have to be a WICCAN in order to be a WITCH.
Witchcraft is NOT a game or some 'idle' pursuit...it REAL and an Energy...which can be used for Good or Evil. BE CAREFUL....

Lol! It's not "Men-Ol" as the descriptions for the vid says. It's actualy, 'Manon', a French woman's name taken from a French film called, 'Manon of the Spring'. Pat Devon was a Wiccan consultant for the film and she advised them not to use an actual deities name lest countless teenagers attempt to rush out and try to reinact the invocation. Originaly, each girl had their own name for 'deity', with Rachelle using, 'Noah'!

VintageVamp69 4 years ago 3
It's an interesting movie. It's hard to know what a "true" ritual is, when corrupt sects and religions either polluted what was available with nonsense and/or destroyed anything traditional. The Romans and Greeks recorded almost nothing (and that was propoganda), the Celts recorded nothing at all, virtually no spells (not myths) from Egypt, Babylon or Sumeria are known. If there's mystic knowledge, it's not traditional, so you can't know for sure what is based in reality and what is not.

In my thoughts, blood can be a catalyst for when it is needed. Sacrafices are made to strengthen magic by breaking bonds between the caster and the subject. That's why sacraficing animals is useless, because there's no spiritual bond between them.
Just my two cents.

I know this is an old conversation but while they are both have the meaning of 'not-christian' etymologically both the words heathen and pagan evolved out of terms which basically meant rural people/villagers because this was where pre-christian practice survived longest.

What is truly ignorant is the use of the word 'pagan': which is a Christian adaptation of the "gentile" of Judaism, and as such has an inherent Christian or Abrahamic bias, and pejorative connotations among Westerners, comparable to heathen, and infidel, mushrik and kafir, in Islam. The ancient wisdoms are polytheism, shamanism, pantheism, or animism.

Come now, that's rather ignorant. Even though, I am not wiccan, I do see value in it. Gerald Gardner, Ray Buckland, and other 'founding fathers (but not forgetting the mothers)' of wicca or other pagan traditions have paved a way for more of an accepting society of pagan traditions and witchcraft in general. Today, it is OKAY to be NOT Christian. And you won't be killed for it. Is it because of them? Well, they helped.

Magick doesn't adhere to stereotypes, everything in nature is magickal. Oi, men and women are both magickal, they just represent a different side of the spectrum, dark or light, male and female, water and fire, earth and air.
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to put all this here, just ask me if you have a question.
Blacklightphoenix 4 years ago
Actually, it doesn't matter which element you were born under, you can attune yourself to any element of your choosing.
Nothing is fixed, and you aren't required to adhere to any one thing. It's not like you won't be able to work with someone born under the same element if you are in a circle.
Also, there's more than just your sun sign. I'm a cancer in my sun sign but I'm gemini rising and I have three other places where air show up in my charts. So one could say I'm inclined to air.
