*I was in about sixth grade and wasn't into magick or anything yet. (I didn't get into Wicca until 5 years later.)I was lying on my bed, and I'm not really sure what happened. I know I was thinking about something, but I don't remember what, when suddenly I felt myself leaving my body. It started at my toes, which started feeling all tingly, but this wasn't normal. I don't know how to describe this...it wasn't like my feet fell asleep or anything. My spirit was moving up in my body, towards my head. It felt so weird and I was really scared. I mean, what if I left my body and couldn't get back in. So I focused on bringing my spirit back...I don't know if I'm actually remembering this part or if I'm imagining it- but I think I could see myself from above. It's like I have two perspectives of myself, so maybe part of me had already left my body. But I focused and I came back into it. After I was all there I felt tired, like it had taken all of my energy to do that, and I still felt kind of scared. When I stood up I was shaking and it was hard for me to walk. I never told anyone about this experience until recently, when I confided in my best friend, who is also Wiccan.

*I have only been (informally)studying Wicca for several months now. Several days ago i was getting ready for bed sometime around midnight and all of a sudden i had the eeriest feeling that my close friend was in trouble. I mean i was completly exausted but i just knew that something bad was happening i was truly scared for her. I gathered my tools and a couple herbs and created a small potion, then sent for the goddess and communicated that if my friend was worrying, in trouble, or scared, to protect her from evil. The next day I was frantically searched all over for her, making sure she was all right. When i finally found her, she assured me she was fine. Being a bit eccentric herself, im sure she understood. i don't know whether my prayer 'worked' at all, being that it was so informal and rushed and all, yet this expirience has reminded me that we can make good use of our powers and help those in need.
blessed be, Adele**
*Hi all. I have been an occultist for about 4 years now ( i am male 17) and studying and practicing wicca for about one year. I have had so many experiences but one of my most recent was a couple of weeks ago. I was on my way home from a friends house when i suddenly felt like i was going to die. I felt mentally and physically exhausted fot no reason. Today i told this to a close friend who is always with me in spirit but lives far away. He told me that at the samw time i felt this, a very close neighbour of his died. This happens a lot. Other experiences have included dreams coming true. Not things like marrying pop stars and so on, but odd things. Like eating at somewhere in a dream and then a year or so later (in a different country) having the scene playing again. Oh and i recently experienced an action replay in real life, now that was an experience. If anyone would like to chat or exchange magic feel free to email me.
**Merry Meet, I have been a practicing wiccan for about 2 1/2 years now, despite the hardships (trying to learn and practice while being opposed by a christian family). When I began learning about Wicca, I learned all the basics properly, but from the wrong kind of person. Since then, I've split from the circle and been a solitary practitioner. I believe that none of this would have happened if it weren't meant to happen. My experience to share with you is not as intense as something from a Sabbat, rather, from a dream(which I believe harbors its own intensity). I was in a harmful situation including someone I once loved, who is working magick for dark and harmful purposes, and in this particular scene, I was in danger. In the distance, I drifted from the focus of my confrontation with him, and saw the face of the goddess with an aura surrounding her. She conveyed a message pure enough that I did not require words, only the expression on her face. I believe the expression meant for me to have hope and remain strong. After I woke up, the dream was so clear it lingered long enough for me to write down. A few hours later, I reached for my sketch pad and I drew out the image of her face. It came out looking almost exactly as it had in the dream.
Love and light,
Blessings be,

* well I just started practicing, well I really shouldn't say practicing really just studying. At the moment I never had an experience but lately I have been dreaming about things and the next day they either some what come true or do come true fully. I'm not so sure what this means but hopefully the god/dess will explain in some way what is happening. but untill then, that is my experience.

* I have been activley studying Paganism and Witchcraft for about 3 years now. Though I have always felt this strange magical way since I was a tiny girl. One very influential experiance was when I was only about 5 yrs old. I was asleep and I guess I must have had a dream. I was in this really dark place, I had no material body, but my mind was still alert and awake. I guess I see this place as a sort of underworld. Well, it was a place sort of like the universe, it was wide, and yet it wasn't any place at all.Slowly I felt myself lifting, and moving upwards into a great powerful light. Through this light I began to see parts of my life from the moment I was born to that 5 yr old asleep in bed. But there was no time, everything was seen in vividness yet it was all in small parts of seconds. It is hard to explain, but it is something I'll never forget. It is something which has partly brought me home, because friends all our paths are a sort of home. The Lord and Lady are our loving parents, and we are all linked together, everything. Thats what I believe, I know you will all understand this.
I love you all, and Clay I'm your friend you're never alone. None of us is alone, know that the God/des is here for us all. I've seen them, they have spoken to me, and many of you have also seen them.
Blessed be.

*Me and my friends Chrissy, Leslie, Jen M, Jen N and Rachel were at a school dance (I am 17, was 15 at the time)I was feeling nervous all night but didn't say anything to my friends because I thought they might think meweird. During the dance, I went to the pop machine to get my friend a pop. When I got back, Jen M was crying and the rest of my friends were around her. I figured she had fought with her boyfriend again (she did that often) but I asked what was wrong. Rachel told me she was afriad that something bad was going to happen. I told them then that I had felt nervous all night but hadn't said anything. We tried to comfort Jen and some of us even danced, but when I got back from the dance floor with leslie, Jen N. had fainted.
A crowd had gathered but she was okay after a while. Then Jen M fainted. A crowd gathered again and I was certainly feeling worse. This time, a teacher came in and took us all to the staff room to talk to us. She thought we must be on drugs because they had fainted. We tried to explain to her about how we felt but she didn't believe us. After we told her about 18 million times that we were not on drugs, she let us go but sent Jen M and Jen N home.
Rachel went with as she was the ride for Jen M. Later on, it was just me and Leslie and Chrissy at the dance (well, and everybody else) . I still wasn't feeling well but Chrissy and Leslie were fine. They danced a bit too while checking on me. I had my head down on the table resting. Next thing I knew, all the lights in the room were on, everbody was gone except for Chrissy, Leslie, me and a teacher. Even the Dj was gone. Apparently, I had passed out while resting, they had furiously tried to wake me up but couldn't, I was out for about 20 minutes.
So Leslie went home and me and Chrissy joined our guy friends at the park near our school. We were watching this drunk guy. As soon as I saw him, I got extrememly scared. I ran off to hide. Well, of course Chrissy and my guy friend Rachid were worried about me, after all, I could have passed out again somewhere. Well, they found me shaking and cowering beside a wall and Rachid gave me a hug. They figured that now would be a good time for us to go home. I was getting a ride home from Chrissy. So we went back to the parking lot, the drunk was following us but Rachid and Chrissy stayed near me assuirng me that everything was okay. I finally forgot about him and my and Chrissy were talking to Ricky (her brother) because they had come to pick us up. The other people from the park were all around and the drunk was stumbling all over the parking lot.
Well, me and Chrissy were joking but all of a sudden, I got really nervous and had that feeling again that something was wrong. I turned around only to see the drunk right behind us, ready to grabe us and he had a knife. I grabbed Chrissy, screamed and ran. Rachid chased off the drunk and me and Chrissy finally went home. Now, if that isn't weird enough listen to this. The next day at school, I was telling Jen M, Jen N, Rachel and Leslie what had happened. I was wondering why Jen M and Jen N looked so shocked but they waited till after I finished the story. That's when I found out what was the matter. At exactly the same time I turned around to see the drunk and ran, both Jen M and Jen N had a night terror, something neither of them had had for a long time.
Not a nightmare, a night terror, where you sit straight up in bed, with eyes open, yelling but your are still asleep and don't remember it. Jen N had woken up her grandma and Jen M had woken up her mom. That's how they knew. And even more freaky, they had both yelled the same thing, "Leave them alone, get away from them." (them being me and Chrissy, talking about thedrunk).
*Im really into wicca. Im 99.9% sure that in the future I will be wiccan, although I just started studying about 3 months ago (so of course I haven't done my dedication) I have done several rituals, and learned a lot from each one.
My mom is jewish. In fact, my whole family, both sides, I can trace down forever to be jewish.
When I started learning about wicca, I acted like I was learning about it for a school project, and I would tell my mom random bits of info on it. Soon my mom noticed I'm really interested in it. She doesn't think that wicca is going to be my religion though, even though she comes with me when I go occult store hopping. I dont think she really considers it as a religion in the first place.
Well sorry for the long annoying info, anyway here's my dream:
It was a sabbat night, I dont remember which one.I was a little older then I am now. Near my house was a wiccan festival. My mom had the same feelings about wicca as she does now, but she understood that I really was into, and she sorta approved, but not fully... she still didnt like the idea.
I took her to the festival. Everyone there were wiccans and were cheerful, dancing around to festive music. My mom danced with them, and had tons of fun, as I did too.
She learned about wicca in the festival, how it was an earth based religion, how it was all good, and the basic priciples, by talking to people around her. I don't fully remember the rest, but I think we all took part in ritual and she loved it. When we got home, she didnt want to become wiccan or anything, but she understood how I felt, and fully approved of my beleifs.
Now this dream sounds sorta stupid, but it gave me hope that someday my mom will approve of wicca and my beleifs, and although my mom may be close-minded now, I can tell she's slowly understanding and enjoying wicca.
