Woman Stripped After Being Branded Witch In Jharkhand
http://newspostindia.com/report-8434
A women was stripped and brutally beaten with hot iron rods after she was branded a witch and held responsible for the death of a woman in a Jharkhand village, police said Monday. The incident came to light only after a week when the woman from Dadighagar in Hazaribagh district, about 130 km from here, approached some local reporters Sunday. Basdeo Manjhi said 45-year-old Chandmuni Devi had used black magic against his wife who died of snakebite on July 14. He complained to the panchayat that ordered that Chandmuni be stripped and beaten with hot rods and sickles. Chandmuni and her husband braved threats and filed a police complaint against six people five days later. But the police did not take any action either and the couple approached the media for help. Witch-hunt cases are rampant in Jharkhand. More than 600 people, mostly women, have been killed in last 10 years after they were charged of practicing black magic. |
Makes sense. This is the same country where people worship rats... Witches bad, rats good! Go figure.

Those morons don't know what black magick is. They just don't want to take responsibility for the misfortunes that come from living your own life.
Magick can't be used to harm a lifeform...period! It simply doesn't work that way. |
rhertz...I'm not watching that video...I'm done with rats!!:nono:
I agree with you Anime! If black magic truly worked on harming people it would be frequently used! There's no proven cases that I know of!:rolleyes: |

Magick is meant to provide a gentle push toward a desired goal. It is a plea before fate itself which may put chance and circumstances beyond your direct control into your favor. Now if someone makes such a plea so that fate were to work against you, but your actions and attitude worked naturally in your favor, then the spell would naturally NOT work. This is how ritual magick works. This principle can also be applied to other religions as well. In Christianity, God is all powerful and can work miracles. With a little prayer, he can help you up from even the worst misfortune. Despite this however, He will not lift you up if you are not willing to stand on your own. It is your life and you have control. ;) P.S. The rat thing is really disgusting. :freaky: |

We're all forgetting an important point. Was she, in fact, a witch?

I think anything involving an adult calling themselves "a witch" is hilarious. Tolerance doesn't mean you can't think something is dumb.

You guys just don't understand the PC world do ya..... Jeez, the word is not "Witch" it is "Wicca". Where have you been? Now get it right...
OK, for a slight change of subject, I remember a movie playing at Quail Creek Cinema in the early '70s where they have you a vomit bag when you walked in. No kidding. It was about torturing witches in Salem, but I cannot remember the name of the movie. I do not think Anime would like this movie. But I'm thinking it contributed in some way to the modern day horror movie special effects industry. :D |

However, just to be fair, there are those in the occult who do not prefer this term as well because they may belong to some group of practitioners that possess their own labels (i.e. shamans, druids, etc.). If you want to be PC, rhertz, you would use the term "Craft User." As for you, Joe, you can laugh all you want when someone calls themself a witch. They are out there. THOUSANDS of them! In the words of Rev. Derrek Younger, "They cook your food, they give you medicine, they babysit your children, they protect you while you sleep." We look like everyone else you've ever met. Take care when you laugh at us because you never know what people around you are one of us and what they do for you. |

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Not baby sitting my kids :nono: Their evil spells may work on the weak minded but that is only because a person might want to be under a spell. Might want to google up the numbers because wicca is a very small group of people. Very small. Can't wait until Halloween :eek: and all this time I thought dust my broom was a ZZ top song :laugh:

A few google findings:
Lack of sexist beliefs and practices: A common principle in many Wiccan traditions is the equality between the sexes. Both men and women are viewed as having their female and male side. Each person has the task of balancing the two. Within Wicca, the female principle is considered as powerful and sometimes even more important than the male. Wiccans commune with the Goddess and the God. Many teens reject the male domination seen in many Christian denominations -- particularly in Roman Catholicism and in some faith groups within the conservative wing of Protestantism. Here, positions of power and authority are reserved for men. Wiccans view the female and male principle in balance everywhere in the universe. The Wiccan religion does not have a list of "thou shalt nots." It has a single, universal rule of behavior: the Wiccan Rede. This states "An it harm none, do as thou wilt." i.e. do whatever you want as long as it harms nobody including yourself. The decision whether to become sexually active before marriage is thus not banned by an absolute prohibition. A Wiccan makes her/his decision is based on an analytical process which determines the potential for harm to either party. Instead of pre-marital sex being prohibited, it is can be seen as a morally positive activity in some circumstances, as long as precautions are first taken to avoid pregnancy, sexually transmitted disease, health problems, negative effects on the relationship, and damage to each person's self-esteem. This is our dear friend Glenda the Good Witch ;) Attachment 1189 |
Right, you've actually got a lot of factual data there, Isaac. Yes, pre-marital sex is not at all discouraged in Paganism. It is left up to the couple to make this decision for themselves. If you have each other's well being in mind, then you do not risk encountering evil in any form.
Pagans believe that if your intention is not to harm your partner, then you simply can't go wrong no matter what you do. This is a very tall order. Not harming a person involves respecting their body, their mind, and their life as a whole. Evil stems from suffering and pain and hurting others. Pagans acknowledge and worship a sacred lord and lady is are seen as the mother and father of all life. It is not uncommon for some groups to give the mother a little more attention than the father, but the love is equally shared. Kudos on getting some accurate data there, Isaac. :peace: |

Being a Christian I do not agree with any of that but to each his own. The Bible does speak of Pagans and their fate.
Do not eat cherry seeds they will make ya sick ? :barf: :throwup: :blech: Attachment 1190 I see Pie and LN sitting like crows on the wire :laugh: Pie you have a opinion on everything come on and speak up :peace: |

There are thousands of weirdos of every type (google "furries" for evidence of such) that doesn't make it any less ridiculous. A witch is a child's Halloween costume, not anything around which an adult should base any part of their life. |

>If that is how you feel, then you have likely never met a group of Pagans in their spiritual environment.
I have also never hung out with furries or Trekkies. Doesn't mean I can't think they're ridiculous. |
