I am writing this post following a discussion that occured on a forum of Italian witches. Basically, one user noticed that some people she had not liked very much had had disgraceful accidents. Although she admittedly had no thought of hurting these people, she concluded from this that she may have some obscure power, therefore feeling sad and guilty as she had not wished for this to happen. Apart from telling an interesting story about the kind of readership Italian forums about
stregoneria tend to attire these days, this also points to the issue of witchcraft, psychic abilities and spellwork. The particular discussion I had on the forum, however, was not with the user who opened the thread, but with another who jumped in explaining that this was absolutely nature and an expression of the first user's amazing psychic abilities. My WTF! rolled out copiously.
