Hey I think I know a way to make money really fast. Would this work for the Wiccans?
I know a lot of people over here who are Wiccan. They spend like hundreds of dollars on wands, and magic spells.
Could I just make up a whole bunch of spells,a nd put it in a book, and decorate it nicely. Or just get a magic wand from the toys section in Walmart, and say it’s magical?

answer: Most Wiccans and pagans I know can spot a phony right off (most of ‘em anyway – Silver Ravenwolf still gets by). Word also spreads – like a review on Amazon.com
Probably won’t work. Besides, most pagans I know are fairly adept at making their own tools or looking for bargains among thrift stores and stuff.
Try the New Agers, they drop money like crazy for copper tubes with crystals glued on.
Either way, the items you make would be no more or less magic than anything else they use.
*chuckles softly*
Where DO you get this information? The best wands are hand-made by the individual practitioner. And any trained Wiccan has no need to buy spells — we create our own.
I suspect you’re just trying to spread bad feeling about our religion. Meh. I’d give you a 2 out of 5 in the troll department, and that’s only because I find you amusing.
I agree with Prairiecrow. Good shot at trolling, but I know you could do better.
You should sell Bibles, there’s a much larger crowd sucking them up.
I’ve been Wiccan for over 20 years and never spent a single cent on "wands" or "magic spells."
You’re welcome to market such nonsense to all the dabblers you’d like, but your materials, and the dabblers you market to, will still not be Wiccan.
I think the market is fairly saturated, however. That being said, if the "Wiccans" where you are spend hundreds of dollars on such things, could I have your location? Money’s really tight, I’ve got all these student loans…
Edit: eh, Prarie, I’d give this troll a 3 out of 5, unless he actually is Silver Ravenwolf, in which case she gets a 5!
unethical. If you don’t really know what you are doing, you not only will have angry customers, but loose your reputation. ANY store and earning of money from sales MUST be from the truth, not lies. It will come back and destroy your reputation in the long run. Now, if you wish to put a disclaimer on the book and wand saying that these are NOT real and are only for fun, THEN you can do it. There are a lot of people out there who like to have the fake about to play with or for decorating their abodes. THAT might work VERY well! Remember, don’t mess with those who can turn on you. You will loose.
lol My daughter knew better than that when she was 5!
Actually, yes.
The tools don’t matter – the intent and focus of will does.
The spells that are best are those you write yourself, so putting them in a book yourself, or on your computer is a good idea.
Avoiding the new age section in the bookstore is also a good idea; too many of those books would have served better as firewood, furniture or even toilet paper rather that be the waste of paper they are, made to draw in the gullible and faddish.
You think you’re trolling, but you’re not. Serious Wiccans, witches – and religious practitioner knows it not the stuff you own it is the faith you hold.
If you move to Mythology and Folklore, many of the ones there (I said ‘many’ not ‘all’) will go for it. I’m thinking of how to phrase a question to them about why the person with the easiest answer and most thumbs down, is always chosen over sound advice and experience, (not just from me, there are many.)

Many Wiccans make their own tools, and consider them to be more useful because the tools were made by their own hands.
Buying fancy expensive tools is basically pointless. I mean, go for it if you like the tool, and have the money for it – but it WILL NOT get you better results. Basically, ritual tools have no power of their own. They are simply TOOLS. A hammer does not have the magical ability to drive nails. You use your own force of will and power to cause it to drive the nail. It’s just a hell of a lot easier to drive a nail with a hammer rather than with your fist. This is EXACLY how ritual tools work.
Therefor, a magic wand from the toy section of Walmart would work if you really believed it would. But, when you account for the fact that you are probably using a Walmart toy wand to be facetious, you loose all power from the use of that tool, because it essentially means nothing to you.
Yes, you can just make up spells, and put them in a book. Decorating the book is nice if you want to do it, but it will not make the spells more effective. Also, spells you write will not be effective unless you know the structure of a spell, how to write one, and how they work. No spell, written by yourself or otherwise, will work unless you believe it will, and unless you know how to work the spell without the potions, candles, herbs, chants, poems, etc that direct and focus your energy, they will have little to no effect.
That being said, many Wiccans (myself included) do not do spell work. The point of Wicca is spirituality; to create and maintain a relationship with the gods. Spell work is not Wicca, it is witchcraft, and just because many Wiccans are also witches does NOT mean that the point of the religion Wicca is spells, or even ritual tools.
Kind of, yea. Because there’s no magic in the words or the Wand. They are just tools.
