Obviously there are people that practice both, so it's real enough to them. Personally, I don't believe that there are any legit sort of supernatural powers to either. I do not think someone could cast a spell on me because I would only think they are crazy, not that there's a spell on me. It's all about perception & if the victim of a spell believes they are cursed or whatever, they can fool themselves into thinking that they really are. If a victim of a spell believes it's all a bunch of bullshit and gives it no creedence at all, I'm pretty sure nothing would ever come of it.

They're basically like any other religion or belief system. You either have faith or you don't.

I guess I'm not entirely sure where you're going with that last comment austin. Yeah, some people have faith & some don't. But if someone with faith tried to put a spell or a curse or whatever on someone that doesn't have faith, I don't think it'd amount to anything more than words being chanted. Conversely, if someone with faith put a spell on someone else with faith, they could fool themselves into believing their actually cursed, but that's all it would be... Someone fooling themself.

I was adding on to what you said, not replying with something different.

Ah. Gotcha. ;)

I am looking into the passing of engery and thoughts between people atm. I think both positve and negative energy can be passed between people. I would like to repeat I THINK. Its just something me and a few friends are looking into atm I dont fully understand atm but thought I would comment.
