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. |
