Sorry if this info is off guys, I'm sorta new age, so my wicca might be a little untraditional, I'm not sure.

It's not off wolfe of wildwood for someone newage it's pretty acurate as there is no black or white and it is just the intention of the caster and the whole wiccan creed is:
Bide the wiccan law ye must
in perfect love and perfect trust
Eight words the wiccan Rede Fulfill:
An' ye harm none, do what ye will

What ye send forth comes back to thee
So ever mind the rule of three
Follow this with mind and heart
Merry ye meet, and merry ye part

thanks :] wasn't sure. I sometimes say things that don't fit what tradition states. Also, you can't always trust the internet, which is unfortunately where I get nearly all my information.

I believe that magic is something we use, like a tool. It doesn't matter to me if my hammer has a black handle or a white handle or a blue handle or a red handle. I can use my magic or my hammer to build/create something or I can use it to destroy/harm something.

If I'm using my hammer to break apart something like an old shed and then using my hammer to build something new with the wood - am I a "black witch" or a "white witch?" Those labels have little meaning for me.

"Magic" is the channeling and directing of natural Earth energies,. These are neither black nor white, they just are. The "flavour" comes from the intent of the user. Many "witches" follow the Crooked Path which veers from black to white.

I can give you some info based on my experience. I have acted to channel both darkness on its own or light on its own at one time or another through the Craft or other LHP mediums/paths - they both have their advantages and their drawbacks; its only when you combine them that balance is achieved.

Live one, then other other, then combine the two experiences as a synthesis.

Best yet, everyone follow White Rabbit Australia and put an end to this, Black and white, good and bad, find that balance

Many who work with magic dabble in a bit of both white and black. I've heard them referred to as "grey witches" In other words they wouldn't do anything truly evil, but they're not above spellingn someone to walk into a wall and get a goose egg on their forehead if said person has been cruel to an animal, for example, or crossed some other boundary.

Hello


I have to agree with Wolfe of the Wildwood here in simply Black and White is but intent. We are all I personally feel of the Light and the Dark in us it is HOW we personally choose to use and balance that in us.

Having followed along the path of both what is perceived as Light ( God ) and the Dark ( Satan ) I have come to find it was nothing more than personal growth for me. To bring me to the place of peace and balance I am now in. The intent was to simply learn and not to act in harmful ways.

Its time that the understandings move past the dull and boarning movies and TV shows that are out there. That is not real or real life.

Go with what path fits to ye and to what feels right in one's gut as that place does not lie to one. If it feels wrong then it is wrong.

How do you decide that you are going to be this? Surely you follow a path that is right for you and then, if necessary, you find a label that suits.

In asking how to be a black/white witch it sounds like you see that these labels are perceived in a certain way and it is that perception you want people to have of you.

The question you need to be asking imho is "how do I find out about witchcraft to see if it is right for me?"

Just read a lot, talk to a lot of people and see what fits... worry about the labels later on when you are trying to tell others what path you follow... you may end up finding that neither white or black witch suits at all. You might even find none of the pagan paths suit you.
