I learned about Wicca through the television. I was watching "A Haunting". The woman was attacked by something connected to that cult or religion yet I noticed that a lot of people still practice it. I'm not trying to bash this belief I just want to know more about it. Are there actual repercussions for practicing Wicca? What exactly is it all about?
Wicca is a nature based pagan (neopagan) religion (some say spirituality or path). It is a fairly new religion, but its ideals go far far back to the very first spiritualities in existence (nature based and/or pagan) It is completely harmless and not dangerous at all, and those who say it is Satanic (which is in itself propagandized and misunderstood) have NO IDEA what bull they are spewing.
As for "A Haunting", I have seen nearly every episode of that show and not only is it ENTIRELY based on word of mouth, but many of the people on it come off from the very start as ignorant and not all there. One woman on an episode (forget which one) said that she figured her haunting must have been caused by some Satanist ritual....with NO EVIDENCE to back up that there was EVER any ritual OR Satanists nearby. Give me a break. All fear induced propaganda.

Fellow witches, can you help me with a question about some left hand path magick?
Fellow witches, what do you think of using sex in magick and rituals? If you send the positive energy from sex and love into the universe won't it effect the universe positively? I am not talking about using women as alters or disgusting things like that. Just two people in love.
"Blake said that the body was the soul's prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open. He considered the senses the 'windows of the soul.' When sex involves all the senses intensely, it can be like a mystical experience." - Jim Morrison
Sex is a beautiful, magical, natural thing, and profoundly sacred.
Using sex magick for positive purposes can be immensely good and beneficial.
I would not personally call that "left hand path" but people seem to have very different definitions of that terminology.
Why would ritual sex magick *not* be a good and sacred thing?? It's a rite to honor the Hieros Gamos, the sacred marriage of male and female, the Horned God and the Goddess.
And, by the way: Jim Morrison was a god incarnate. Bless his magic mojo soul.

Add/to Okapi: There is no such thing as a "Wiccar."
Don't pretend to have a background in Wicca that you don't have.
Oh, and that old idea about sex "draining energy" from the male -- no, I don't think so. I mean, it's like any kind of physical exertion, you put some energy into it. But if you use that energy for magick, then you can gain some positive benefit. And even just using it for the magic of LOVE is positive enough.
The myth of sex "draining energy" comes from tantra, where they have both people sitting up, and they put the woman on top, and she is the active one; while the man is passive and on the bottom. That is a blatant *reversal* of natural gender polarity. Nature made males to be dominant and active and on top during sex. If you do it that way, it should be invigorating to the spirit, not draining at all.
i have to write a paper on something to do with love sex friendship, philosophical can anyone help?
my paper has to do with the philosophy of love sex and friendship, i was thinking, something of excuses, are you ever that drunk, what consititues a good excuse, and i need a better agurement can anyone help?
Drinking is never an excuse for bad behavior of any sort, although it often provides an EXPLANATION for behavior, but an explanation is not an excuse. An excuse shows that something is not really my fault, but if you do something stupid because of drinking, it is still just as much your fault because you are still responsible for what happens. In other words, drinking is used as an excuse, but it is not actually an excuse. It is a form of what philosophers call inauthentic life, which means avoiding taking responsibility for your existential freedom of choice.
I’m not sure what you want a “good excuse” for. Accidental pregnancy? Catching or spreading a disease? Losing one’s virginity? To this sort of thing all I can say is that if you take reasonable precautions but somehow something happened that was beyond your control, then I suppose that could count as an excuse (e.g., the condom had a hole in it, I was just flirting but ended up getting raped, etc.) Of course some folks will say you shouldn’t have been having sex or flirting in the first place, so it is still your fault, and they are correct to a certain extent. However, EVERYTHING we do in life comes with some risk. When you get in the car to go see a movie, for example, you put yourself, your passengers, and everyone else who is driving on the road at some risk. But if you drive reasonably safe, we do not really blame people for taking these risks. The same can be said for sex. If you play reasonably safe, no one can justifiably say that you were immoral for “getting in trouble” of some sort if an accident happens because, as everyone knows, accidents can happen even when we are trying to be safe. Simply taking a shower can be fatal if you happen to slip and fall in a certain way. There can be many rewards for sex, including increased intimacy, and certain forms of spiritual exploration, along with the obvious giving and receiving of pleasure. It is a matter of personal values whether or not the rewards outweigh the risks.
If you take a look at my answers, you will find that I have written a LOT about the philosophy of sex and sexuality, including a great deal about the links between sexuality and spirituality.
