Do you believe in witchcraft?

  

Is Harry Potter a story about witchcraft or just the imagination of madam J.K. Rowling? (Photos courtesy Google search). I read some place that Mr. Bush Jnr (As in the former United States President) refused to put J.K. Rowling on the list of people who were due to receive awards for doing something either to do with distinctive service or literature, I cannot remember which but the point is, what if what madam Rowling wrote about was or is actually true?

   

Or Pirates of the Carribean (photos courtesy Google search).  My favourite line was "Do you believe in ghost stories madam, you should because you are in one!..."  Something to that effect and the moon luminates this skeleton with beer going down the skeletal frame and no skin and bones! I have stomached most things in the Pirates movies except Dvey Jones oooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuch!!!!

So, do witches exist or are they just a figment of one's imagination?  If they do, and you learn that, not just someone or other person you know, but someone very close to you actually dabbles in such, what would you do and or not do?

I ask not in jest about this because in my fourtworld, there is so much belief in such that many a business idea, concept, programme and plenty of good opportunities have been lost to this belief.  What is of particular interest to me is that when everything is going smoothly, no credit is openly given, except maybe by the religious and when things go awry, it reverts to the root of one's beliefs and faith is cast aside for a while, while people retrogress or progress as the case may be, to what they traditionally believe in, only to find it does not or does work and further confuse beliefs.  

If you have trouble understanding this post, its what I call one of my muddled ones, not in the writing per se, but in not actually coming out with one valid point but rather several, like the work in progress that this posting is.  Check for updates on this topic.
