History of
Witchcraft
First things
first - What Witchcraft is not:
(Yes I
know, just about every Wiccan/Witchcraft sight has the "We are not
evil" spool, but ignorance, unfortunately is still rife, and it
would be remiss of me not to add my 2 cents! You can skip this part
and go to the links below if you are already among the enlightened)
 |
Witchcraft or
Wicca is not a cult. We do not proclaim ourselves to be spokespersons
for the divine or try to get others to follow us as their leaders. Nor
do we tell others how to behave and what to believe in, (we believe in
freedom of choice as thinking autonomous individuals able to make up our
own minds!). We do not take money from people to support "The work of
the lord" (We give of ourselves to help and heal others).
|
|
|
We do not
worship Satan or consort with Demons. (Satan is a Christian creation and
they can keep him!). We do not need a paranoid creation of supreme evil
and eternal damnation to scare us into doing the right thing and helping
others. We choose to do the right thing and love our brothers and
sisters because it IS the right thing and it feels good to do it.
|
|
|
We do not
sacrifice animals or humans because that would violate our basic tenant
of "Harm None." Anyone who does and claims to be a Wiccan or a Witch is
not, no matter what they call themselves. Nor do we use the forces of
nature or the universe to hex or cast spells on others. Again, "Harm
None" is the whole of the law.

|
|
We have no
need to steal or control the life force of another to achieve mystical
or supernatural powers. We draw our energy from within, our personal
relationship with the divine and nature. |
|
|
Witchcraft
is not anti Christian, or anti any other religion. We simply exercise
our right choose our path to enlightenment. |
