Nobody seems to know whether it works or not. It sure would be nice to be able to move objects with your mind and stuff.

hmm,, interesting question

I don't associate moving things (telekinesis) with witchcraft.

I think our mind has many untapped abilities, things that were never developed because they weren't/aren't yet needed but are dormant and possible

telekinesis is one of those cool things I believe may lie dormant in us all

as for witchcraft, however, intentional use of spells to play God or mother nature with,, I would not be interested in taking part or being near it,,,

Witchcraft has nothing whatsoever to do with playing god or messing around with Mother Nature. Rather Medieval statement.

I guess it depends upon the culture and their definition, semantics adds levels to any discussion

the type of witchcraft I was referring to ,however, was any type which DOES use spells or potions to play God or Mother Nature

That's not witchcraft, but black magic.
A shame ppl keep thinking like this. There are many ppl practicing the craft that have nothing to do with black magic, but are pure and work from the Heart. They still get frowned upon. Guess the witch-hunt isn't over yet.
This connotation of witchcraft being devilish or black magic, is instigated by church. Read the Salem files on how things were done, it's disgusting! Pure brainwashing of people, done by extreme Christians and two powerful Salem families that didn't like the other one being having that much influence. They abused fear to start this witch hunt BS.
Good example of how ppl got set up against the ones they used to see when they needed help (witch doctors, wise women, shamans etc.)

Thousands, ten-thousands have died because of this line of thinking, based on fear, instigated by church to make them more powerful.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

That old sorcerer has vanished
And for once has gone away!
Spirits called by him, now banished,
My commands shall soon obey.
Every step and saying
That he used, I know,
And with sprites obeying
My arts I will show.

Flow, flow onward
Stretches many
Spare not any
Water rushing,
Ever streaming fully downward
Toward the pool in current gushing.

Come, old broomstick, you are needed,
Take these rags and wrap them round you!
Long my orders you have heeded,
By my wishes now I've bound you.
Have two legs and stand,
And a head for you.
Run, and in your hand
Hold a bucket too.

Flow, flow onward
Stretches many,
Spare not any
Water rushing,
Ever streaming fully downward
Toward the pool in current gushing.

See him, toward the shore he's racing
There, he's at the stream already,
Back like lightning he is chasing,
Pouring water fast and steady.
Once again he hastens!
How the water spills,
How the water basins
Brimming full he fills!

Stop now, hear me!
Ample measure
Of your treasure
We have gotten!
Ah, I see it, dear me, dear me.
Master's word I have forgotten!

Ah, the word with which the master
Makes the broom a broom once more!
Ah, he runs and fetches faster!
Be a broomstick as before!
Ever new the torrents
That by him are fed,
Ah, a hundred currents
Pour upon my head!

No, no longer
Can I please him,
I will seize him!
That is spiteful!
My misgivings grow the stronger.
What a mien, his eyes how frightful!

Brood of hell, you're not a mortal!
Shall the entire house go under?
Over threshold over portal
Streams of water rush and thunder.
Broom accurst and mean,
Who will have his will,
Stick that you have been,
Once again stand still!

Can I never, Broom, appease you?
I will seize you,
Hold and whack you,
And your ancient wood
I'll sever,
With a whetted axe I'll crack you.

He returns, more water dragging!
Now I'll throw myself upon you!
Soon, 0 goblin, you'll be sagging.
Crash! The sharp axe has undone you.
What a good blow, truly!
There, he's split, I see.
Hope now rises newly,
And my breathing's free.

Woe betide me!
Both halves scurry
In a hurry,
Rise like towers
There beside me.
Help me, help, eternal powers!

Off they run, till wet and wetter
Hall and steps immersed are Iying.
What a flood that naught can fetter!
Lord and master, hear me crying! -
Ah, he comes excited.
Sir, my need is sore.
Spirits that I've cited
My commands ignore.

"To the lonely
Corner, broom!
Hear your doom.
As a spirit
When he wills, your master only
Calls you, then 'tis time to hear it."

1779, translation by Edwin Zeydel, 1955

Der Zauberlehrling
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Hat der alte Hexenmeister
Sich doch einmal wegbegeben!
Und nun sollen seine Geister
Auch nach meinem Willen leben.
Seine Wort und Werke
Merkt ich und den Brauch,
Und mit Geistesst�rke
Tu ich Wunder auch.

Walle! walle
Manche Strecke,
Da�, zum Zwecke,
Wasser flie�e
Und mit reichem, vollem Schwalle
Zu dem Bade sich ergie�e.

Und nun komm, du alter Besen,
Nimm die schlechten Lumpenh�llen!
Bist schon lange Knecht gewesen:
Nun erf�lle meinen Willen!
Auf zwei Beinen stehe,
Oben sei ein Kopf,
Eile nun und gehe
Mit dem Wassertopf!

Walle! walle
Manche Strecke,
Da�, zum Zwecke,
Wasser flie�e
Und mit reichem, vollem Schwalle
Zu dem Bade sich ergie�e.

Seht, er l�uft zum Ufer nieder!
Wahrlich! ist schon an dem Flusse,
Und mit Blitzesschnelle wieder
Ist er hier mit raschem Gusse.
Schon zum zweiten Male!
Wie das Becken schwillt!
Wie sich jede Schale
Voll mit Wasser f�llt!

Stehe! stehe!
Denn wir haben
Deiner Gaben
Vollgemessen! -
Ach, ich merk es! Wehe! wehe!
Hab ich doch das Wort vergessen!

Ach, das Wort, worauf am Ende
Er das wird, was er gewesen!
Ach, er l�uft und bringt behende!
W�rst du doch der alte Besen!
Immer neue G�sse
Bringt er schnell herein,
Ach, und hundert Fl�sse
St�rzen auf mich ein!

Nein, nicht l�nger
Kann ichs lassen:
Will ihn fassen!
Das ist T�cke!
Ach, nun wird mir immer b�nger!
Welche Miene! welche Blicke!

O, du Ausgeburt der H�lle!
Soll das ganze Haus ersaufen?
Seh ich �ber jede Schwelle
Doch schon Wasserstr�me laufen.
Ein verruchter Besen,
Der nicht h�ren will!
Stock, der du gewesen,
Steh doch wieder still!

Willst am Ende
Gar nicht lassen?
Will dich fassen,
Will dich halten
Und das alte Holz behende
Mit dem scharfen Beile spalten!

Seht, da kommt er schleppend wieder!
Wie ich mich nur auf dich werfe,
Gleich, o Kobold, liegst du nieder;
Krachend trifft die glatte Sch�rfe.
Wahrlich! brav getroffen!
Seht, er ist entzwei!
Und nun kann ich hoffen,
Und ich atme frei!

Wehe! wehe!
Beide Teile
Stehn in Eile
Schon als Knechte
V�llig fertig in die H�he!
Helft mir, ach! ihr hohen M�chte!

Und sie laufen! Na� und n�sser
Wirds im Saal und auf den Stufen:
Welch entsetzliches Gew�sser!
Herr und Meister, h�r mich rufen! -
Ach, da kommt der Meister!
Herr, die Not ist gro�!
Die ich rief, die Geister,
Werd ich nun nicht los.

"In die Ecke,
Besen! Besen!
Seids gewesen!
Denn als Geister
Ruft euch nur, zu seinem Zwecke,
Erst hervor der alte Meister."

1797 J.W.v.Goethe

Witchcraft isn't about playing god or messing with nature. It's more based on nature worship. Yes, there are spells and incantations but neo wiccans usually follow the 3 fold law.
I, personally don't believe in black magick. In my belief magick is energy and all energy is neutral. What you do with it defines YOU, not the energy.
I also don't follow the harm none rule. You mess with my coven, or my kin I'll mess right back. My Goddess is Hecate btw and I don't cotton to any nonsense.
If you want to know about wiccans, witches and other pagans I'm betting you have groups around you. We even have Pagan Pride here which is a blast.
Don't rely on t.v. and shite movies for info.

Witchcraft has its origins not as evil but for healing the sick, since there weren't doctors yet like what we have now. Many so-called witches at that time were sought for herbal healing. They listed many plants and herbs and their uses as remedy which is called Witches Pharmacopeia.

Modern Witchcraft is an grab bag of many traditions, including Wise Woman/Mid-Wife lore, Celtic Theology and others, Ceremonial Magic, etc. It was codified by Gardner and Alexander in the early 1900s.
