This statement-ur opinion

hey im going to write something and i was wondering what your opinion of this would be-

Spells- Don't exist, there just words to tell your energy want you want to happen...

Okay with this statement, if it provokes your thought, test it :) Think what you want to happen, have faith and talk directly to your energy and wait.

Again this is just an statement, but i will add everyone including myself needs to respect and appreciate there energy and soul and talk to it, become one with your spirit, you'll understand allot more. I've met people that are mostly self-taught in Wicca and have excelled without the help of others, except with the help of there energy and spirit....

So yer everyone has there own opinion, but please take the time and tell us your opinion about how you do craft or how you discovered your energy(gifts etc) or what you think about the whole topic of Wicca...

I am not quite sure on this

I think of a spell as using items to enhance or focus your abilities
If its just words then its just an affirmation (words that tell your energy what you want to happen)
look on youtube there are tons of affirmations

But thats not to bash the power of words
its said that before the fall of Adam and Eve we would have not been able to handle hearing their pure voices

Looking on that sentence, it seems to me that when you say 'telling your energy what to do' is another way of saying that we can control our energy and tell it what to do. I disagree with this statement but I do see where you are coming at. This statement is kind of contradictory as well. A spell is designed to help you gain what is saught, now this can have a negative reaction or a positive one. The contradictory part comes in when you say that spells are just words to tell the energy what you want to happen, and going back to what I have said before, a spell can only help you gain what is saught. You here are telling us that spells are just words that tell your energy what to happen, and the result of that would be that all of the spells work all the time, and that is not the case. I will tell you quite simply why I disagree with this statement: the part where you imply energy can be controlled. Energy is around us and energy is a very complex topic. You may gather energy, focus it somewhere, enchant it with something, but you can't control it. I know that this is constantly said over and over but I cannot help to not say it now. I hope I have not offended you.

^^ yer idm, like i said its just a statement, and i was asking for your opinion so thanks for commenting ^_^

Yer and when you say you cant control your energy its a very delicate topic, for example sometimes your energy reacts to your thoughts, like when you think i want to use my energy and heal this person, your energy comes to them calmly. When you think of hurting something your energy can turn "violate" or be unpleasant. When you sometimes make peace with your energy, you can sometimes share the same "thought" it reacts to you and you can sense your emotions within it, but when you energy has its own mind its very unpleasant, for example, your falling asleep and you feel a strange energy flowing into you, you try tracing it and work out there draining the spirit in the corner or the person sleeping in the next room, you didn't think what you needed it acted on its own you were trying to sleep. No reason behind it, now that cause you havent made peace with it, you have to keep each other happy.
When im sad sometimes i feel a blanket hugging me thats my energy caring, when im feeling weak or "drained" of energy, i have to found an energy source so its happy and doesn't think for its own and drain everyone within 5 meters of me...

Yer my experience or opinion, Everyone has one so i don't mind if you dont agree, but yer "controlling energy" is a delicate topic in my opinion, needs a lot of explaining for people to have the same view....

A spell helps to focus and direct our minds/emotions/will to manifest our desires. No they aren't necessary, they are aids. An experienced magick practioner can practise successfully with no physical aids, words or actions--just their mind. But it is not easy for those learning magick because being able to use the physical senses to mentally process what is happening is important to them. Only when they have the confidance of a well trained mind can they go without aids. But the steps involved are still present, merely mental instead of physical.

In more advanced magick however, tools become more than mental aids, but extensions of the practioners magick (like personal assistants) to help them to control the manifestation so they can focus on their goal without worrying about other factors (like protection/precautions, additional energy sources, etc). This includes but isn't limited to wards, amulets, sigils, circles, energy batteries, servitors, etc.

Very good!!!!! A spell or more importantly the words are ways for you to make a connection between the above and below. Anything that can help you raise energy and direct it is a great thing in all magick. Ritual tools are the same concept. The energy does not come from them but it is the symbolism behind them that is the key.

I love sites that like this you just give me all the knowledge I need to do the evil things that I want to do.
