Could be. I've always thought it's something everyone can take up, but maybe there's an aspect to it, like - a talent for music or mathematics can run in the family. Not everyone is going to take it up, or even try it, but there may be a predisposition towards skill in that area.
As you say, with dabbling it's mostly ambition without knowledge, or people who are in it for larks without respecting what they're doing. People who decide they're going to look into a witchcraft for a couple of months and decide to summon something right off the bat. Plus it's annoying to the rest of us, particularly the types who are really into it for like six months and then refer to it as their "witch phase", or the types who ignore all the bad stuff and stick to the odd glitter-laden spell but never put their heart into anything... just a bit irritating, you know? This is why "dabblers" is a bit of a pejorative. Whereas someone who is interested but not interested in "being" a witch, as such, might look into it and employ the odd bit of folk magic but not really do anything with it. As someone in years past might put iron over their door to keep the fae out of their stuff but would go to the village wise woman for anything more involved. It's mostly a factor of wisdom and respect, I think. One who is wary and careful won't get into a sticky situation, whereas someone who just wants to mess around for a bit likely will.
That's my take anyway.

Esiris When it comes to magic, you have two choices: do it yourself or have someone else do it for you. Doing it yourself when you don't practice magic yourself can take a lot of time and effort to learn how and then do it. Having someone else do it means you need to be sure that they know what they're doing, but you'll probably have to compensate them for their time and supplies. Since you're living in the southern US, and you're not a witch yourself- you may want to find a trusted Root Worker or someone like that who can do the work for you. Questions to ask your Root Worker.How to avoid frauds.
eek Wow thanks! I'm learning so much from you guys. Just had to look up what a rootworker was xd since the page sort of just assumes you know and also what hoodoo was too sweatdrop
I'm willing to put in the effort to learn, I'm a little cautious and the only thing I'm worried about is doing something 'wrong' and having a negative effect from it. But I'm too suspicious of others to find someone on my own. I'm no longer in touch with my wiccan/pagan friends, so I don't have anyone I trust to recommend a professional.
Speaking of professionals, I'm clicking on some of the links to the professionals on the side of the page a lot of these people offer things like 'love potions', 'wealth attraction', etc. I thought 'love spells' weren't allowed because it would involve manipulating someone... and 'wealth attraction' just seems a little too 'easy' and a bit of a scam. and holy eek at 80 dollars an hour for readings the only wealth they'd be attracting would be to themselves rofl (Sorry I don't mean to offend anyone but come on 80 dollars an hour is a 150k yearly salary... more than what many of us can hope for in a wage)
Maybe I'm wrong to be too picky but I absolutely could not trust someone who practiced things I consider to be 'unethical' including http://readersandrootworkers.org/wiki/Category:Court_Cases,_Legal_Matters,_and_Keeping_Off_the_Law http://readersandrootworkers.org/wiki/Category:Crossing,_Jinxing,_Hot_Footing,_Revenge,_and_Break_Ups Especially when I know it's only for money. (Alright I know that they say they have to do a divination about the relationship first, but I just don't think it's right since the starting motivation is cash) I have a friend who is in an abusive relationship and I would love more than nothing to get them to break up, but if I had the knowledge/power to cast such spells I absolutely would not be offering them to just anyone 'at the right price'. Even then I don't think a breakup spell would be the best thing. They argue a lot as it is, and when they do she always ends up hurt. I would rather find a way for her to see that he's abusing her, and that it's wrong. Maybe help her find her true love rather than focusing on the breakup.
