no you don't
there are pretty horrific backlashes to you if your spells are bounced back and mediums repeatedly say black magicians go to the 18th level of Taoist Hell when they die - you DO not want to end up there - mediums here can travel the astral plane and they see visions of black magicians with their heads severed but still conscious and flies entering their ears and laying eggs in their brains, where later their brains are infested with maggots |

I was thinking about becoming a Wiccan but even I know that I would never use any sort of black magic or any spell that does harm to others.

My friend was Wiccan for 5 or 6 years or something. He's since decided he's converting to Buddhism. Interesting guy.

I definitely agree. No matter the issue, people in general tend to actively seek out and accept only those views (and evidence) that correlates with and confirms what they already believe; avoiding or discounting information that contradicts their viewpoint.

I believe that's the general definition for being closed-minded. |

This then leads to us thinking that we are seeing something again but what is really happening is a crosswire in our sypnases. We HAVE seen the event but that microsopic shutdown makes us think otherwise. Whilst we all know that we are only using approx. 20% of our brains at any given time and there are times when strange occurrences happen regarding phenomena that we cannot explain, It is virtually inconceivable that a future can be predicted due to the phenomenon of cause and effect.
