gifts or powers, whatever you may choose to say, i have them

[wiccanpyro]

well i posted a link before and people took it to a little bit extreme, and i really do have them and i think that people here should respect peoples beliefs and their gifts, im not trying to be rude, im just expressing my feelings, and i have gifts, yes they may be all a combination of many shows or movies, but i have them and you can choose to believe them or critize or make fun of, but my gifts are:-telepathic,-empath,-and i have many more as well and if your intrested into this please just message me and i will be glad to fill you in on some more

Maybe if you went back to the original thread and read my questions, you could answer them here.

I'm not one to judge, but, judging by your name WiccanPyroPunk618, I'm going to assume your a teenager, most likely a younger one. (I may be wrong.) Also your grammer adds a bit to that assumption.

The reason people may not believe you is because it would take years and years to accumulate that much power into one's self. You can't just suddenly have these gifts. You have to work for them. Some people are stronger in areas than others. I myself am very strong in the phsycic area, but I'm really powerful in it yet. It takes a lot of time to teach the mind to focus in on things, it can't just "poof" happen.

Those are my opinions on the matter.

Also, as an added bit, the other thread like this was locked so...I think that means it was supposed to be over with, not start a new one just like it.

Plain and simple, when you make up a fictional story and try to pass it off as truth, that's called lying.

It's bad form to lie to witches. Tends to get you in a whole mess of trouble in life. To lie to an entire forum of witches...not the smartest thing in the world.

Given that you are still a kid, I think everyone was very disciplined at just giving you a bit of the ribbing that a child screaming out for attention tends to get. From the sounds of it, the thread was locked down because it was assumed that you'd get the point. Now you're back again saying the same thing. That doesn't show a lot of wisdom.

If you want to pretend you have powers, there are a lot of roleplaying groups out there where you'd be welcome and find others who embrace fantasy over reality. If you need help finding them, feel free to PM me and I'll gladly pass along some links.

As for myself, I'm here to discuss witchcraft--a serious spiritual path that I've been dedicated to quite possibly longer than you've been alive. If you can't respect that, don't expect me to treat your stories about your "powers" with anything more than a curt tongue.

[Wolf Heart]

Well put Juliaki, better than i could have said.

Hello wiccanpyropunk618 (for the sake of my sanity and my index finger can I just call you WP?)

No-one controls the elements. Full stop. They are not subservient to you or me, in fact we are subservient to them. I would like to hear your reasons behind why you think you have control over them - humour me - I'm sincerely interested.
Telepathy - hmmm, so you can read peoples minds?
I don't think this should be classed as a power but more as an attunement and awareness of the people around you and how they are feeling, it would definately come under your thesis of being an empath - the two can go hand in hand.
As an empath myself - I sympathise with you. I have to spend a lot of my energy in sheilding myself and I hope you know how to do this - if not let me know and I'll post some exercises which are very good to get in the habit of doing.
telekinesis I really have no experience of but my only comment will be....
Why?

Why would you want to use the energy involved in performing telekinesis?

Again - I'm sincerely interested to hear your opinions and views.

Controlling hot and cold isn't difficult, and I wouldn't call it a power either. Simply an effective way of using visualisation.

well hello hedgewitch and yes you can call me wp or wpp or whatever you may choose..lol..

okay well maybe not controlling the elements but i think that i can control the rain, and im a great pyro as well.

i do believe that i can possibily read minds, but not to the full potential

that would be great if you could help me with the empathy, i would appreciate that alot.

im not quite sure why i would like to or want to, its just that believe that i can.

and im again sorry for supposingly "roleplaying" and im again sorry for the lock down and all that other stuff, its just i try and tell my friends who are wiccan, and they just dont that much, and i finally found someplace that i thought that i could be open about, but apparently i was wrong, but i will try and stay here, to learn from hedgewitch and others

Number one - People don't just respect you. Respect is not something that is simply given, in any walk of life. Respect is earned.. Be it respect in 'real life', or respect on an Internet forum.

Number two - Feel free to be open.. Nobody has a problem with that at all . If you take a good look around the website, you'll find that we are a community who welcomes and encourages open-ness, sharing of knowledge.. And it's through this that we all try to help each other grow.

However, it would do you well to remember that, in no circumstance, be it over here, or in 'real life', do people enjoy someone walking up to them and saying..

"Hi! I have the BEST abilities! I'm the BEST! I can do all this AMAZING stuff!"

Whether it's "I can play the piano AMAZINGLY", "I have the MOST money, EVER!" or "I can control the ELEMENTS and RAIN and read MINDS!".... Frankly, nobody particularly cares. Not on here, not in 'real life', not ever.

It gives off a bad, immature vibe. A vibe of 'Hi, I like to talk about me, I like to boast.' Nobody likes it when people boast.. Especially when you have nobody to impress.

Take a look around the boards. Do you find anybody else shouting and screaming, ranting and raving about their 'abilities'? I'm pretty sure that others here may well be able to do similar things to you, but they don't run around telling everyone .

Sometimes you have to just.. Keep it to yourself, y'know? We're all willing to help you grow, we all want to help you learn, and we want you to be open.. But don't feel like you have to justify yourself, or boast about, your 'powers' / 'abilities' / 'gifts' to us. Like i say, 99% of the people here really don't care what you can or can't do to the weather .

If you don't want to be 'made fun of'.. Don't leave yourself open to it. Posting a message like that, as you did, on a board involved largely with serious discussion and serious growth.. Left you open to some pretty serious attack. Learn from your mistakes.. Don't do it again in this thread, eh?

Please be open. Tell us about you, tell us about your experiences. We all want to hear.. And I'm sure we can help you develop.. So long as you drop the 'Me, me, me and my amazing abilities' act .

Once again, sorry if this is harsh, but sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind...

Elem, you are not being rude or snobby, you are stating the truth and telling me what i was i was doing and how i was acting but i suppose that i was being blinded by it and i think that i made a huge mistake its just i thought that someone might i dont know maybe care, its just i have been so secretive and not being able to say anything and now i can so i thought that i should take the express train but i suppose that i will just go and look at the other boards and just reply to the ones taht i can so well yea again everyone im sorry

[juliaki]

I care about what my authors and co-workers do, because if they don't do the things I need them to do, it makes my job more difficult. That doesn't mean I care about them. The realm of my caring about them ends when I leave the office.

In life, you'll find a lot of people who care about what you do, and they'll largely be people who are meaningless in your life. What matters is to find people who care about you for being you. If tomorrow, you were blind, paralyzed, and "powerless", would those people around you still care about you? Those are the kind of people you want to look for... people who care about you and not what you think they want you to brag about.

okay well maybe not controlling the elements but i think that i can control the rain, and im a great pyro as well.

You don't control the rain - no-one except *insert deity of choice* controls the weather hun. Why do you think you have control over the rain?
What happens?
A pyro is someone who makes fire - you only wanna be doing this in a controlled environment - do you know how many acres of forrest and heath land was destroyed this year due to people advertently or inadvertently starting fires?

i do believe that i can possibily read minds, but not to the full potential

If you believe it that's all that matters.

that would be great if you could help me with the empathy, i would appreciate that alot

I've allready made some posts regarding this so give me a mo and I'll post you the links.


All I want to say to you is that maybe you've had your first lesson in the reactions of people who you are going to claim these sorts of powers to.
To dare
To will
To know
To be silent

You are on your spiritual path by yourself. No-one is going the same route as you. We might pass each other by but that's as close as it gets.
You only have your path to worry about and to consider.

May I ask what you mean by 'great pyro'?

I was under the impression that pyro is usually short for pyromaniac, which just means someone who like starting fires. I don't mean to sound rude, i'm just curious what it has to do with your Craft. Pyromania can be rather destructive, and I'd be a little concerned if that's what you meant.

Sorry if I'm out of line here, I may have misunderstood the whole thing.

Also, I'm curious about your views on mind-reading. I find it to be invasive, not to mention there are some things you might find that you just didn't want to know. What's your opinion on that, if i may ask?

well happy independence day and a great pyro means that i can handle fire pretty well, and you where not being rude you where just being curious, as you said, and i dont burn things or people or be mean or destructive because i love nature, and i only burn candles and incense, i try and not to always mind read, its just what i want to know when i want to know it, ya' know? i mean and same with the controlling minds and doing what i wish, i can just make what i want happen..well happen

Happy Independence Day to you as well.

Did I miss something or did you not mention mind control before?
Reading is one thing. Control is something else, and I'd have a hard time justifying that one.

As for "making what you want happen"--in what way?

[[SanityIsLost]]

I'm not doubting your gifts but, if you truely have these gifts, why not help out science and earn a bit of money?
http://www.randi.org/research/ They supposedly give one million dollars to a person who can perform any type or paranormal or occult power. You seem really confident so give it a shot.

pyrokinesis is form of telekinesis. It's the ability to stat fire with your "mind". Evne though in reality your just using your energy to speed up the molecules to create fire.

Pyrokinesis is a high level psychic skill that requires alot of training.


Furthermore their are psychics who can control the w. In fact they have to put up shields because they might subconsciously shock htemselves.
