I don't know very much about Wicca or other pagan religions. But I do agree that HP is a fantasy world, and did not intend to imply that whatever accusation of "witchcraft" currently applied to HP by some Christians is somehow legitimate. I don't think it is. Though, as that link I provided suggests, some people certainly do believe there is a connection between HP and some forms of witchcraft/paganism. We would have to argue the point with them, however.

If I'm wrong in that interpretation, then I apologize. (If right, there isn't a facepalm large enough.)
I believe in both God and Christ of the Bible, not based on blind acceptance, but based on historical, eye-witness, and personally experienced evidence.

Similarly, the Bible records incidences of witchcraft. Also, I have read accounts of satanic rituals that worked. I saw what I believe to be a demon possession (it was known as "channeling" in the new age-y '80s), and know several people personally involved in exorcisms. I know one person who told me in detail about a satanic ritual of witchcraft -- what he called "white magic" -- that actually worked, even though his friend became frightened and attempted to stop it, and the supernatural occurrences afterward.

So, once again, based on historical, experiential, and eye-witness testimony from trusted sources, I believe the evidence supports the existence of Satanic witchcraft.

Here, I'll do it for you so you don't get banned.
