im a christian from philippines, and spell caster is rumored as a witchcraft, and a witchcraft is bad isnt it? Coz its a demon works??
But i want to learn even some basic spell that could help me defend or communicate to some entities.

Witchcraft doesn't mean working with demons.
Withcraft means using your own power to achieve what you seek.
The church said this so it'll have more followers and could do the witch hunt. Demons are used in a path but not all the paths use demons. Some are using angels, some are using your own energy.
Magic is belief that something will happen. Nothing to do with demons except if you wish to summon one.

practising the craft is neither good or bad it is however what you use it for thats why many people may consider it to be bad because there are people our there that do use it to do bad things. futhermore magic does not consist of demon worship or anything like that.
if you have any more quesions please mail me - michaelvasey :)

first off, it's not demon worship. the reason people say that is when the Christian religion began to spread through Europe in the dark ages, anyone who wasn't christian were pagan and therefore worshiped the devil, since god is good and if you're not worshiping him, the only remaining deity is the devil. i will say there are some people who do call upon demons and the like, but it's not mandatory, nor is it the majority.
magic can be many different things, all it is is energy. the caster channels the energy and uses it with the casters intent. pray can be considered a type of spell if you think about it. herbs can also be considered, since in the dark ages people who understood the medicinal properties of herbs were considered brides of satan.
it depends on what you're doing with the spell casting. are you using it for good, then it's fine, look into Christian Wicca, while i'm not saying convert, it might give you more insight, it's basically Christians who cast magic, and instead of worshiping the Lord and Lady, they worship God, Jesus, sometimes Mary. it is a grey area, but if you're helping others, and praying to god, then it should be alright. it's when you go against the bible. also the line about suffering a witch to live, the actual translation should be 'evil sorcerer' just keep that in mind. hope that helped.

Wesley's Notes 22:18
Witchcraft not only gives that honour to the devil which is due to God alone, but bids defiance to the divine providence, wages war with God's government, puts his work into the devil's hand expecting him to do good and evil. By our law, consulting, covenanting with, invocating or employing any evil spirit to
any intent whatever, and exercising any enchantment, charm, or sorcery, whereby hurt shall be done to any person, is made felony, without benefit of clergy; also
pretending to tell where goods lost or stolen may be found, is an iniquity punishable by the judge, and the second offence with death. This was the case in former times. But we are wiser than our fore - fathers. We believe, no witch ever did live! At least, not for these thousand years.

If you type "Christian Wican" into the search bar (found in the top right hand corner) it will link you to several forum posts and articles on the site that you can read concerning this.
I do believe there is also a Christan Wiccan coven here on the site. Click the groups tab, then scroll down till you find them. Feel free to mail the Priest/ess, Council, and members to get a feel for what they do and discuss this with them as well.
